Tesis KoduWNG47607

In the Charente countryside, Le Bas Mertaud emerges as a rural retreat, where time slows and nature leads the rhythm of each day. A former farmhouse thoughtfully restored to retain its character, this expansive seven-bedroom home offers a restful escape surrounded by verdant gardens, whispering palms and wide-open skies.

Set within a secluded estate edged by mown paths, fruit trees and banana palms, the house feels delightfully removed from the everyday. Interiors fuse rustic charm with relaxed comfort: think exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and charming living spaces that flow into one another. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor and five more upstairs, several with ensuites, there’s ample space for multi-generational groups looking to unwind in privacy and comfort.

The heart of the home is its delightful kitchen and generous dining area, spilling out to shady terraces. Mornings are best spent lingering in the garden breakfast salon, coffee in hand as the day warms. Afternoons drift by beside the private pool, while the dedicated yoga studio offers a tranquil corner for early stretches or quiet reflection.

Whether gathering in the Moroccan-inspired lounge, dining al-fresco on one of the terraces or simply wandering through the garden’s winding paths, guests are invited to embrace the simple pleasures of countryside living.

Located just ten minutes by car from Montmoreau, a charming local hub with a bakery, supermarket and café-bars, the house sits close to the Dordogne and Charente border - perfect for exploring both regions. Angoulême, with its culture, cuisine and high-speed TGV links, is just over half an hour away, while the vineyards of Cognac and markets of Ribérac make for memorable day trips.

For those seeking an authentic rural escape with space to reconnect and unwind, Le Bas Mertaud offers a setting where nature and comfort live in perfect harmony.
