This detached 3-bedroom house sits within a converted monastery in the centre of the delightful market town of Vouvant in the sunny Vendee department. The property has a private garden and beautiful views of the river. There is a large communal pool and 6 acres of private riverside grounds. The shops and restaurants in Vouvant are a few minutes walk.
'Le Monastere' was converted into a series of cottages and apartments in 2004. The conversion has kept much of the original character of the ancient building, whilst introducing a bit of contemporary luxury. The complex has an excellent reputation locally and properties here don't come up for sale very often. The communal pool (heated) and large riverside gardens are immaculately maintained, making this is the perfect 'lock and leave' holiday home. There is an annual service charge of around 4K Euros which covers all the maintenance.

Location:
The medieval town of Vouvant is literally on the doorstep. The town has a good selection of shops, restaurants and an excellent weekly market. Vouvant is officially classified by the French government as one of the most beautiful villages in France.
Many outdoor sports are available locally including tennis, golf, horse riding, boating, walking, kayaking, cycling and paragliding. Thanks to the effects of the Gulf Stream, the region enjoys the highest number of sunshine hours on the Atlantic coast and that, coupled with its glorious sandy beaches, makes it the perfect holiday destination.
The ferry port at St Malo is a 3hr drive and the airport at La Rochelle is just over an hour away.
