The "property" of about 1 hectare is located in an agricultural hamlet of the Vendée bocage, close to the magnificent Mervent Forest.
At 1 hour from La Rochelle / Nantes / Poitiers and 45 minutes from Niort or the Puy du Fou.
The garden reserved for humans and dogs is about 1000 m2. It is closed, with trees and flowers. The rest of the land is reserved for horses.
The house is fed by a spring for water and has a small pond.
It's a quiet and green place where Nature is still preserved.
It is a pleasure to live there... and I would love to show it to you.
The setting
My garden is full of flowers and the animals of the house (dogs, cats, horses, hens) and of Nature (hedgehogs, salamanders, many birds, frogs, bats and insects) live there in harmony.
The hamlet of 5 houses has a dairy farm which supplies me with milk, as well as a magnificent Fief listed in the French buildings.
The spots
The garden can accommodate 1 or 2 vans on an asphalt area or 2 tents on the lawn areas.
- The lawn areas are flat and shaded. No large family tents please. Only small ones (3 people maximum)
- For the vans, there are asphalt areas for easy parking and shade.
Caravans and campers are not allowed because of the low trees.
The sanitary facilities
The sanitary facilities of the house will be made available.
It is a bathroom located on the first floor of the house with a sink, a shower (hot water) and a toilet.
The toilets on the ground floor will also be made available.
For those who wish it and for the night needs, provision of a solar shower and a portable toilet.
The amenities
- No internet (the network is very bad in the area)
- The kitchen of the house is at your disposal with everything you might need. On condition that you leave it clean after your stay.
- The minimum: salt / pepper / sugar ... etc. ... will be provided free of charge provided that you are respectful and do not make reserves.
- An extension cord will be available free of charge for the tents if it is only used for light and to recharge the phones. If there is more than one connection it will be the same price as for the vans.
- A connection for the vans will be possible for 5 € per day
The activities
The main activities in the hamlet are: enjoying the quiet and hiking.
I also have a nice library that I am happy to share with you.
I will be able to advise you on the hikes to do near the house.
There is also at less than 10 kilometers :
- a lake with a beach (paying)
- several activities to do around the lake of Mervent (boat, pedal boat, kayak, fishing...)
- the zoo of Mervent
- The mines of Faymoreau to visit
- The artists' village of Vouvant
and many other things to do
Other things
My house is not suitable for young children and unruly children because the electric strips in the horses' meadow are within reach of their hands, the swimming pool has no protection, my dogs are young and therefore a bit "beefy" .... and like many houses in the country, there are hundreds of silly things to do that could be dangerous for them.
If you wish to come with a young child, you will have to watch him H24 and I will make you sign a discharge in case of accident.
Thank you for your understanding.
Dogs are also accepted for free (maximum 2). They will have to be vaccinated (presentation of the carnet), not destructive (holes in the garden) and sociable with the other animals of the house. They will have a paddling pool at their disposal but will not be allowed in the pool. You will have to pick up their droppings (to be put in a special garbage can)
