Réf. 4740 : Charming 18th C. house for sale in Berry region The property is located at the heart of one of those Berry villages so dear to George Sand. It lies approximately 300 km from Paris, in the Indre département, more precisely in the southern Boischaut, a gently undulating bocage landscape. Châteauroux, the area's principal town, is less than 30 minutes away, while all essential shops and day-to-day services are available locally. The region is known as the Land of George Sand, as it was her beloved homeland and an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The house itself may even have welcomed the author during her visits, as it once belonged to one of her close friends. Hard-working in winter, the region becomes decidedly festive in summer. Nohant, George Sand's former residence, attracts more than 30,000 visitors each year, in addition to the 10,000 music lovers who attend the renowned Chopin Festival annually. The year 2026 will be marked by numerous cultural events celebrating the 150th anniversary of the author's death. Yet it is not only literature that enchants visitors. The surrounding countryside is a perfect example of peaceful and picturesque rural France, ideal for walking, cycling or horse riding. It is, quite simply, a region where life is particularly enjoyable. Facing the street, the residence is set slightly back behind a low wall opened by a simple and elegant gate. Over two storeys, seven evenly aligned window openings per level lend the façade a dignified and harmonious appearance, beneath a hipped roof clad in local flat slate. This tasteful simplicity conceals a complex of buildings forming a substantial residence, whose true scale is only revealed upon entering the courtyard through the side gate. Arranged around this enclosed courtyard are, first, the main house at the rear, followed by a lower return wing at right angles, now entirely occupied by the cathedral-style kitchen. The rear of a former bread oven adjoins it, while at its northern end a building on a raised base—undoubtedly older—houses the guest accommodation. Opposite, a long building encloses the courtyard. In the absence of precise knowledge of its original function, it is referred to as the barn. The main house offers approximately 335 sqm of living space. On the ground floor of the main house, a sequence of interconnecting rooms comprises, in order, the panelled drawing room, the staircase hall, the dining room, the study, and a spacious bathroom. On the courtyard side, a corridor serves all of these rooms, in addition to a guest WC, and also provides access to the cathedral-style kitchen. This is extended by a room used as a pantry, utility room and boiler room, together with a fine wine cellar, both located in the basement of the guest house. On the first floor, a landing arranged as a sitting room provides access, on one side, to a spacious bedroom with dressing room, antechamber and shower room. On the other side, it leads to a self-contained studio comprising a kitchenette, a shower room and a small terrace. A corridor, symmetrical to that on the ground floor, extends into a gallery overlooking the generous volume of the cathedral-style kitchen. On the second floor, a charming, rustic landing leads to a large attic bedroom with its own bathroom. An adjoining attic space could, if desired, be converted to create an additional bedroom. Outbuildings : The two outbuildings offer generous volumes, the conversion of which into leisure areas has transformed the ensemble—main house and outbuildings—into a spacious and highly comfortable residence. The guest house comprises a single large room with a kitchenette, a shower room, and a mezzanine bedroom. This gîte offers approximately 38 sqm of living space. The barn includes: - an Orangery, a vast cathedral-style reception room of approximately 103 sqm, filled with natural light through large windows overlooking the garden and featuring a bar counter, a terrace, and a substantial fireplace—ideal for convivial evenings; - a wellness area with jacuzzi, hammam, and shower room with WC; - a superb 61 sqm cinema room, fitted with professional equipment, available as an optional purchase; - a storage room. The garden is a highly private haven, where carefully chosen plantings create a distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere. Palms, topiary shrubs, a pond, a narrow canal and a small pavilion—ideal as a charming tea house—coexist in perfect harmony. Behind the kitchen, a more intimate landscaped area serves both as an enclosed terrace and as a summer sitting room, providing a cool and pleasant retreat during the hottest days.
