Hill House ( La Maison Colline ) is set in a traditional small hamlet overlooking the picturesque Charente river and the village of Luxe. The house configuration makes it perfect for couples, small parties and larger groups. Children and pets enjoy a safe and spacious environment. This is a recently renovated detached old house (circa 1850) with stone outbuildings and much character. The large kitchen / diner is fully equipped including dishwasher, fridge, freezer and microwave plus dual fuel oven. A separate laundry / cloakroom room includes tumble dryer as well as a washing machine. Two of the bedrooms have ensuite facilities, the third has access to landing shower and toilet. All three bedrooms are upstairs although a second day room with a sofa bed can act as a third bedroom if needed. The master bedroom, with balcony, is situated in the original part of the house and accessed via a staircase off the main living room. The two courtyards around the house provide different options for alfresco dining. The large enclosed south facing garden has great views across the river. Amidst the fruit trees there is space for the patio furniture, sun loungers and suitable setups for BBQ's.
I am semi-retired with a grown up family and two delightful grand children who live in the UK. I love to travel and have more close family in Australia and Hong Kong. I try and visit them at least every other year. I have always loved France and been looking for the right property for my dogs and I for over 12 months. I started in the north Dordogne but couldn't find the house that matched my dream. I started to look in the Charente and was fascinated by the river and all the villages along it. I was delighted with Ruffec a beautiful classic French market town. I was enthralled by Verteuil sur Charente and needed to be close. I saw 6 different houses in two days, two in Luxe, but fell in love with this one ... The Maison Colline. Actually it was the garden and the view from it - the Charente river and surrounding countryside - that thrilled me at first sight. When I finally pulled myself away to go into the house I was enchanted. It's hard to put into words why this house is so special. Circumstances don't allow me to live here all year round. Although I would happily do so. Everything you need is in easy reach. Room enough to relax but close enough to busy places to enjoy.
Situated between the Bordeaux wine areas and those of Cognac, it is an ideal base for exploring the beauty and heritage of the Charente region and the many nearby ancient villages and market towns. La Haute Terne is a quiet, friendly, safe and welcoming community of 26 houses. Luxe is a pretty, traditional village sat on the river. It has a highly rated restaurant; train connections to Paris and Bordeaux; a private fishing lake with lakeside cafe and children'Riverside Mansle is the nearest town under 10 kilometres away with two large supermarkets, a range of restaurants and traditional shops plus kayaking. The nearby market town of Ruffec has a lovely river beach where you can enjoy swimming as well as kayaking / canoeing. Thirty minutes away in region capital Angouleme these leisure opportunities also exist; along with the Nautilus water park which has a range of waterslides, Olympic size pool and is on the same site as a free, large, child-safe swimming lake. An hour's drive also gives you access to other must-see attractions including Futuroscope theme park near Poitiers which offers high-tech fun for all the family with many 3D and 4D simulator experiences and evening shows.
