In the very centre of Saint-Maixent-l’École, this remarkable 16th-century residence offers approximately 450 sq m of refined living space, seamlessly blending architectural heritage with the comfort of contemporary living.

Its location is truly exceptional: less than two hours from Paris by TGV (1h54), and within immediate walking distance of the train station, market, renowned schools, and the École Militaire — a privileged setting that combines everyday convenience with historic prestige.

Hidden behind a discreet facade, the property reveals an interior of striking elegance and character. The grand reception room of nearly 60 sq m features exquisite period moldings, original fireplaces, and soaring ceilings over 4m high. This space flows naturally into a luminous kitchen, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the Sèvre Valley.

At the heart of the home stands a spectacular double-helix staircase, attributed to an architect who also contributed to the Opéra Garnier. Both sculptural and functional, it is a true architectural statement and a rare heritage feature that makes this residence one of the most distinctive in Saint-Maixent-l’École.

The upper floors accommodate five elegant bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a bright mezzanine, creating generous and comfortable private spaces. Two independent 60 sq m apartments complete the ensemble, benefiting from a shared private access while also remaining fully connected to the main residence — ideal for hosting guests, generating rental income, or developing a professional activity without compromising the harmony of the home.

Outdoors, a second double-helix staircase leads to a beautifully landscaped terraced park, overlooking the valley and offering an atmosphere of remarkable tranquility in the heart of town.

A historic vaulted cellar adds the final touch to this extraordinary property.

More than a residence, this is a place of soul and substance — a rare opportunity to own a piece of living heritage, combining timeless elegance, architectural distinction, and an exceptional lifestyle.
