About this Property

Beaux Villages is pleased to offer you this imposing Chateau which is set in an extensive, private, countryside estate, yet is close to local amenities.

This beautiful property, handed down through generations, is set in almost 22 hectares of parkland. The magnificent chateau, with its two slightly recessed square towers, has retained its historical charm both inside and out and with its views over the surrounding valley, an indoor swimming pool and 550 m² of detached outbuildings, it is truly a gem not to be missed.

The facade was refreshed in the 19th century and of course the interior has been renovated and augmented over the centuries to suit the needs of the families that have lived here. The Chateau now exists as a beautiful 322 m² family home featuring large rooms with high ceilings. The ground floor can be accessed at mulitple locations from the wrap around driveway, and the majestic main entrance certainly does not fail to impress. There is a large living room, generous dining room, a modern fully fitted and equipped kitchen/diner, with a back kitchen/laundry room of the same size. There is also a study, which has windows to 2 sides of the chateau, giving fantastic views of the sweeping driveway, leading up to the Chateau, and over the surrounding land.

The Chateau boasts six bedrooms, as well as three bathrooms, all of which offer breathtaking views over the grounds and surrounding countryside.

The heating system was totally renewed within the last year and the electrics were updated 10 years ago. Added to this the doors and windows have all recently replaced and are double glazed.


Adjacent to the outbuildings is a wonderfully proportioned 14 x 7 m indoor swimming pool, which is heated by solar panels, it is bordered by an outdoor sun terrace and lawns. This more modern addition, set looking out over the arboretum, makes it the perfect place to relax in the privacy of your grounds or indeed to socialise with friends and family.

In addition to the extensive grounds (nearly 22 hectares) surrounding the property, which would enable you to accommodate animals should you so wish, there are also numerous outbuildings which offer a plethora of usages and the possibility of business potential if converted to luxury accommodation (subject to necessary permissions).

If you're looking for a luxurious yet unmodernised property in the peace and quiet of the countryside to have as a prestigious main residence, an exuberant holiday home, or to launch a hotel/gîte business or wedding venue, then this is a property that is certainly not to be missed. Please contact us today for more details or to arrange a viewing.

Poitou-Charentes

From the beaches of the Charente-Maritime through the Charente and Deux-Sevres to the lush green of the Vienne, Poitou-Charentes has something for everyone.  Coastal towns with some of the highest number of sunshine days per year, Cognac and goat’s cheeses (what a combo!) and fine properties set in pretty and unspoilt countryside.   And the value for money here has to be seen to be believed!

Testimonials

    Testimonial by Stuart and Lucy Binns

    As most people know, buying or selling a property is always complicated, especially if the process takes place across two countries.We recently sold our second home in Southwest France during a time when the market was not particularly vibrant. It was a difficult experience as it was a property we were very fond of.The whole process was handled by Judith Whitlow, who took care of the sale and of us with great aplomb.Not only was the process an emotionally demanding one, it was also subject to huge complexities – legal, technical, financial, and procedural.Judith’s fluency in French and English was vital, but her knowledge of all the myriad details, from the workings of fosse septiques to the nuances of tax law (in both countries) made a dangerous administrative minefield much easier to negotiate.In short, she guided us along the entire journey with great professionalism and personal empathy.We couldn’t recommend her, or Beaux Villages, more highly.
