Charming XIX Century Home with Garden, Near River, Hiking Trails, and Historic Sites
The former 19th-century presbytery, restored in 2002, offers an authentic setting. Located in the heart of the Erve Valley and at the foot of the canyon and the Saulges caves, you will be charmed by this village, classified as a "Small Town of Character," bordered by the Erve River (fishing possible from March to September for category 1 and year-round for category 2), offering a hilly setting. The village is welcoming with its restored stone houses, the river, the Cèdre bakery (organic wood-fired bread), and its seasonal bar. Discover the works of art scattered throughout the village and on the houses.
The cottage is independent with its large enclosed garden, very close to the church. You'll appreciate its spacious living spaces, ideal for spending time with family and friends: a 18m² dining room, a 10m² living room, which can be opened to expand the second 18m² living room. Upstairs, there are three beautiful bedrooms: an 18m² master suite with its private bathroom (shower) - one queen-size bed and one 90x190cm bed; an 18m² bedroom with a baby bed - one queen-size bed and one 90x190cm bed; and a 9m² bedroom with two 90x190cm beds. There are two toilets and three bathrooms/showers. A sofa bed for two people is located in the living room and is available upon request.
From Saint Pierre, numerous hiking trails crisscross the countryside. Along the Erve, you can reach the Saulges Caves, a prehistoric site with an exceptional natural setting, rock climbing, and an on-site restaurant. You're in the Coëvrons, a land of art and history, in a remarkable natural and heritage area. Explore the small towns of character of Saulges and Sainte Suzanne (also one of the most beautiful villages in France), with 40 marked hiking trails. Step back in time by visiting the Museum of Prehistory, the Roman town of Jublains, the Evron Basilica, the castle, and the medieval town of Sainte Suzanne. In summer, you can enjoy the swimming ponds at the Gué de Selle leisure center in Mézangers, for example (swin-golf, canoeing, etc.). A wide range of swimming pools in Bais, Evron, and Sainte Suzanne are perfect for cooling off. As you can see, the area is rich in discoveries.
