Property Description Situated within the former Benedictine abbey of L'Absie dating back to the 11th century, this unique property is located at the chevet of the abbey church, which is listed as a historic monument. The expansive estate consists of the former prior's accommodation along with several buildings, all set in a picturesque and preserved environment on a walled plot spanning approximately half a hectare. Facing East/West, the priory features a long rectangular building with a two-sloped roof, adorned with two doors, one of which dates back to 1630 and is embellished with hammered coats of arms, possibly from the Revolution of 1789 or the Wars of the Vendée. Original interior decor elements include the "Prior's" room with a chimney breast adorned with small religious paintings from 1709, a central staircase with straight banisters, and molded wooden doors with double leaves. The ground floor of the house comprises a living room, a dining room, a kitchen opening onto the garden, a shower room with toilet, and a wine storehouse. The first floor features a bedroom called "the Prior," a bathroom with toilet, two additional bedrooms, and a former maid's room. The ceilings throughout the house are impressively high, adding to the grandeur of the property. The estate also includes a separate house spread across two levels, a large barn, a garage, a bread oven, and two pig roofs. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with a variety of trees, a well, and a masonry fishpond, creating a serene and idyllic setting. Remarks on Price Considering the historical significance and unique features of this property, the asking price of €158,000 appears to be quite reasonable. The expansive living space, original design elements, and extensive grounds make this property a rare find and a worthwhile investment for those seeking a distinctive and characterful home in a tranquil setting.
