Cabinet Alderlieste, partner of BARNES Propriétés & Châteaux offers for sale this unique property located just 10 minutes from La Roche-Posay and 30 minutes from Châtellerault (TGV station with direct connections to Paris in 1 hour 36 minutes).

A rare embodiment of Art Nouveau in a rural setting, this villa, with its richly decorated façades, will charm you with its elegance, authenticity, and above all its exceptional location.

Overlooking the river, the property enjoys an extraordinary setting, completely sheltered from view.

A small entrance garden enclosed by high wrought-iron gates opens onto the property to the west. On the east side, the ground floor opens onto a large terrace framed by stone balustrades and a trapezoidal ornamental garden overlooking the river.

A second plot, featuring a large outbuilding (garage, storage rooms, and attic), is located in the immediate vicinity, separated from the main property by a small lane.

Built in 1906, the villa is covered with slate roofing. A broken hipped roof, topped with a zinc weather vane, crowns the south-east corner. The remainder of the building is covered by a long-pitched roof with broken hips, adorned with a zinc finial and ridge crest.

The residence offers 218 sqm of living space over three levels, resting on a full 180 sqm garden-level basement comprising cellars, boiler room, a well, and various storage areas.

Above the well, the original period suction and force pump still remains — a truly exceptional feature.

On the ground floor, the porch door opens into a vestibule with a straight-flight staircase featuring turned wooden balusters. On either side are a WC and a small office.

A large French door with beveled glass opens onto a wide central hallway running through the building, leading to the terrace and serving four rooms on either side: a kitchen, a small dining room, and two reception rooms.

The first floor follows a similar layout to the ground floor. One bedroom opens onto the landing, while the corridor is lit by a French door opening onto a balcony. It provides access to two large bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shower room.

The second, attic level reveals three additional bedrooms and a billiard room.

Throughout the house, authenticity prevails, with period features carefully preserved and omnipresent: parquet flooring, tiles, woodwork, moldings, stained glass, and more.

Built on an unlikely riverside site and designed in the Art Nouveau style, reflecting the modernity and cultural refinement of its original owners, this villa stands out remarkably among the traditional houses of northeastern Poitou. For these reasons, it has been listed as a Historic Monument.

If you are seeking an authentic property rich in history, this villa is sure to captivate you.
