Villa Bavel stands at the edge of the village, its origins as a 1953 barn carefully preserved in an architectural conversion overseen by Henri Borduin. This villa Bavel, reimagined in 2014 and further enhanced through 2025, establishes its own rhythm with original beams, tactile natural finishes, and thoughtful light shafts that thread daylight through each living space.
The residence encompasses 248 m² on a 2,395 m² private plot, balancing openness and structure. Upon entry, the tall front door opens to intersecting lines of old and new: custom cabinetry, a U-shaped kitchen with end-grain wood and natural stone, and a living room oriented toward mature gardens. Throughout, original beamwork and Danish high-efficiency stoves add warmth. The layout includes four bedrooms, one refined bathroom with a walk-in shower and integrated lighting, and adaptable spaces suitable as a practice area or guest accommodation with its own entrance.
The region’s light filters through multiple terraces, with gardens planted in walnut, oak, almond, and fruit trees. A multifunctional Scandinavian-style outbuilding—fully insulated and featuring triple glazing—broadens the living experience, suitable as a guest suite or workspace. A newly added covered terrace, adjustable for sunlight and weather, extends the seasons outdoors. The property’s technical features include ten solar panels, comprehensive insulation, and an energy class A rating, quietly affirming its modern comfort. Privacy prevails, just minutes from both village and city, emphasizing the slow, assured pace of country life.
