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.
