A wonderful barn conversion opportunity. This authentic and increasingly rare Vendéen barn dates back over a century and offers generous proportions with attractive traditional stone construction. Full of character and charm, it provides an excellent project to create a comfortable modern home while keeping its original features. Set in a peaceful countryside location, the property enjoys open views and a calm rural setting. A fantastic opportunity to create your dream home, this property is ripe for conversion and ready for you to make your mark.

The barn is arranged in three sections, offering excellent flexibility for conversion.

The left section has already been started with a concrete floor and initial plumbing and electrics in place. The central section has a high ceiling and is ideal for a large open plan living space with a mezzanine above. The right section provides further generous space suitable for additional accommodation, a studio or utility use depending on the design.

Outside, there is a terrace area and an above ground swimming pool with open countryside views. The setting offers a good sense of space with open land to the side and rear. Nearby, the village of La Chapelle aux Lys is known as a Star Village with very clear night skies. It is home to the Astrolys festival and a planetarium offering star and space experiences. The property is believed to date back over a century and reflects the agricultural history of the area. Built mainly in natural stone with some later brick additions, it has developed over time as part of a former farmstead. It is also understood to have links to the Second World War, adding further historical interest.
