Full Description
This striking 19th-century château holds a rich history that dates back to the 16th century, when it was used as a hunting lodge for Isabelle de Poitiers. Despite its grand architectural presence, the property offers a warm and livable atmosphere with 760 m² of living space—perfectly suited to welcome guests in comfort and style.
Previously operated as a chambres d’hôtes, the château is ideally laid out for a similar hospitality project today, thanks to its numerous bedrooms and reception areas.
On the ground floor, a beautiful vaulted entrance hall leads to elegant salons, dining rooms, two kitchens, a pantry, and a spacious office or meeting room.
The first floor offers six bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Some suites even feature private kitchenettes and sitting areas, offering guests added independence and privacy.
The second floor has been largely renovated and includes four additional rooms—some of which have been transformed into studio-style accommodations.
Significant renovation work has already been completed, including the roof, the septic system, much of the ground floor, and the entire second floor. The first-floor bedrooms remain in good condition but could benefit from some cosmetic refreshment.
The estate spans 10 hectares and includes a caretaker’s house and a garage, both in need of renovation. A charming tree-lined driveway enhances the authentic château experience, and the park is adorned with centuries-old trees, adding character and grandeur.
Ideally Located in the Historic and Vibrant Vienne Region
Just 20 minutes away lies Poitiers, a lively and historic city known for its Romanesque architecture, medieval streets, and thriving university culture. As the former capital of the Poitou region, Poitiers offers a rich tapestry of culture, history, and gastronomy. Highlights include the Church of Notre-Dame-la-Grande, the Palace of the Counts of Poitou, and a bustling weekly market.
The area also benefits from excellent transport connections. Poitiers has a Tgv station with direct high-speed trains to Paris (1h20) and Bordeaux (1h), and is conveniently close to the A10 motorway. The Limoges airport is just 1 hour and 30 minutes away, providing access to various European destinations.
