This superb 15th century chateau, officially a "monument historique", sitting in its own walled parkland of just under 2 acres, a few metres from the centre of a village, has been beautifully refurbished by its current owners who have also added a heated 14m x 5m swimming pool.

The chateau itself boasts 6 bedrooms, 2 large salons, a fabulous kitchen/diner and a huge games room on the top floor. It has a stunning stone staircase and two extraordinary stone fireplaces which are listed. The interior accommodation is comfortable summer and winter, thanks to the oil fired central heating, and the owners' superb decorations have made it into a warm and welcoming home. Additional independent accommodation includes a 3 bedroomed cottage with its own charming private garden, a 5 bedroomed "logis" recently converted to living space for the elderly resident, a 3 bedroomed apartment and two 1 bed studios, one of which is used as accommodation for the resident carer. There is also a very large reception room with its own kitchen, WCs and large outside covered dining space which could potentially be used to host weddings or events, subject to the usual permissions.

Outside, the topiary and rose gardens are to the rear of the property, together with the impressive pool and to the front is a formal courtyard. There is also a large garage.

Close to the spa town of Jonzac and not far from the lovely local beaches and the cosmopolitan city of Bordeaux, this stunning property is an ideal permanent residence or a holiday home with income potential.

The property is sold as a partly occupied life annuity. Life annuity : 3.123 euros /month.
