7 Bed Chateaux for sale
Fontenille-Saint-Martin-d'Entraigues, Deux-Sevres, Poitou-Charentes, France
Full Description
Dating from 1087, this remarkable historic château combines genuine medieval character with substantial modern restoration. Set in approximately 2 hectares of private parkland in Deux-Sèvres, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, around 1 hour 15 minutes from La Rochelle, it offers approximately 320 m² of living space, with 10 rooms, 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms plus WC.
Inside, the château retains much of its original atmosphere, with exposed beams, old stonework and a large fireplace, alongside a distinctive circular kitchen, generous living areas and a library/TV room opening towards the rear park. The principal bedroom has its own balcony overlooking the grounds.
The property has undergone extensive and sympathetic restoration, with approximately 75–80% of the work completed, always with care to preserve its historic character rather than modernise it beyond recognition.
The grounds are one of the château’s strongest features: old stone boundary walls, around 150 mature trees, a natural spring, a lake of approximately 30 × 30 metres, and two water channels of approximately 70 × 4 metres each. There is also a terrace, a swimming pool requiring restoration, and a separate historic ruin with possible restoration potential, subject to the necessary permissions. The setting is private, green and exceptionally peaceful.
Asking price: €845,000.
A rare opportunity for someone looking for an authentic French château with substantial restoration already completed, extensive grounds and considerable historic character.
