About the Property

Historic 15th Century Château with Stunning River Views, redesigned in the 19th century, set on a 22-hectare estate overlooking the river in the Poitou and Brenne regions of France. This fortified castle, approximately 300 km from both Paris and Bordeaux, offers a commanding view of the surrounding countryside. The property is conveniently located near shops and is a mere 40 minutes from a TGV station. This remarkable château, originally built in the 15th century, features large crenellated towers that enhance its defensive character. Following extensive restoration in the 1990s, the interior has been returned to its original grandeur, showcasing magnificent proportions, vaulted ceilings, and two elegant stone staircases. The ground floor comprises a spacious living room with a monumental fireplace, a study, and two bedrooms located in the towers. Adjacent to the entrance hall, which boasts a beautiful stone staircase, lies a large kitchen with a scullery. The first floor hosts the master suite with a dressing room, a second spacious living room, and two additional bedrooms, including two in the towers. The second floor features four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, all offering spectacular views. The third floor includes a large bedroom and another bedroom with a bathroom, adorned with wooden beams. The vaulted basement contains the old kitchen, storage rooms, and two towers, connected by a stone staircase. The estate also includes two caretakers' houses, one with four bedrooms and two covered car parks, and the other with three bedrooms and two covered car parks. Additional outbuildings comprise 17 rooms on the ground floor and an equal number on the first floor, featuring double-glazed doors, a workshop, garages, and former stables. A chapel with ribbed vaults and a slate roof, constructed around 1868, is situated next to the château.
