Property Description

This prestigious chateau from 1798 with a pigeonnier and large farmhouse overlooks a village with a rich history.
Used as a large comfortable family home the current owners also generate an income from the property in the form of summer rentals and chambres d’hôtes. The good will and current arrangements can pass with the property if desired.

The gorgeous authentic features were maintained, like the impressive staircase, the original floor tiles, the fireplaces, the plaster on the ceilings and the stained glass windows.

Terrain:

On the 6 hectares terrain we see:
A traditional Charente's style farmhouse of 270 m² over two floors and a tower, partly renovated; plans exist to create three large gîtes here
A dovecote (pigeonnier) of 16 m², renovated in 2002, with a first floor that is suitable to create an astronomic observatory
A new (2009) luxurious heated swimming pool of 13 x 5.5 metres, surrounded by a wall, with summer cover and lit terrace in full privacy
A BBQ terrace with ornamental pond and fountain
A private well for watering the plants in the garden and to fill the pond and pool.

The chateau is located on the side of a valley with the 2.5 hectare park-like garden around it.

These gardens have been landscaped into large terraces that offer scope to create defined and different environments.
The rest of the terrain is 3.5 hectares and is mainly woodland that was replanted in 2004 with mainly oak, chestnut and acacia.

Immediately to the front of the chateau are fields. They are owned by the neighbour (a farmer) who uses them to grow winter feed for cattle. The important fact is that the chateau owner has control and veto over any and all future development of this land. It is non-constructible.

The views are truly excellent in all directions! Over the valley the views extend for some 30 km to the east and north-east. To the south, west and north is woodland.
