About this property

Discover Authentic French Charm at La Mothe aux Gentilhommes

Imagine a place where time flows with the rhythm of nature. A place to recharge, relax, and savor the simple pleasures of life. A place where you instantly feel at home.

Welcome to La Mothe aux Gentilhommes. This family estate spans 20 hectares nestled within a vast wooded park, complete with two tranquil ponds.

Here, tranquility and serenity embrace you. A grand oak-lined driveway, the melody of birdsong, and the expansive green waters beckon you to unwind.

The house itself is spacious and inviting, adorned with warm, authentic decor—no IKEA pieces here, only antique furnishings and carefully curated finds.

For those who love to cook, the well-equipped kitchen awaits. Gather in the dining room for convivial meals or relax in the cozy living room, whether for a movie night or by the crackling fireplace.

Outside, a sprawling 6m x 12m swimming pool, perfect for both leisurely dips and invigorating laps, heated only by the sun's warmth ;-).

The estate is a paradise for children—a vast playground to run, play, build forts, swing from the large set, or explore winding trails through the trees.

Fishing enthusiasts will find bliss at the ponds, where carp, pike, and roach await eager anglers. Those more adventurous can swim or take a leisurely boat ride.

La Mothe aux Gentilhommes is truly unique, with its remarkable trees, red squirrels, and occasional deer sightings at dawn. Early risers might take a nap for a peaceful hammock under the shade.

For the active, a tennis court awaits, offering spirited matches on its asphalt surface. Nearby, cyclists and runners can explore numerous scenic routes, including the Thouet riverbanks or the St Jacques trail for more challenging terrain.

Outside dining is a must during your stay—whether under the shade of trees for a cool midday meal or closer to the house in the evening ambiance.

Fire up the barbecue or visit Parthenay's local market for fresh regional produce, with supermarkets just minutes away for convenience.

Summer evenings offer a mesmerizing starlit sky, free from light pollution—perfect for stargazing or even a peaceful night under the open heavens.

La Mothe embodies a familial love for nature and authenticity. Whether you seek relaxation, nature immersion, or to explore a new region, you'll find your bliss here.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests—I'm here to ensure your stay is as delightful as possible.

Filthy. Had to clean the toilets olin order to use them. We were warned that the laundry machine and dishwasher were both old and neither worked properly, now we are being charged for this nonsense. She’s upset we disnt do dishes or laundry….but neither machine worked properly. Her mother showed me the open cabinet to find sheets and towels then she accused us of using them without permission. Cobwebs on every corner. Dust and dirt on the walls. Couldn’t use the light in one room because it was full of dead bugs and you could smell them burning each time it was turned on. The compost was nowhere to be found so I bagged it up and the. Got blamed for that too. My wife has asthma and could barely breathe because the place was so dirty and dusty. I should have known to avoid this place after she agreed to a price and then raised it on us after we bought plane tickets. Place is very difficult to find and they were of no help. Worst condition of any place I’ve seen.
