Rebekah Maren, Independent Agent, says: |
| This extensive private estate includes a medieval château with its origins in the 12th century; it was considerably extended in the 19th century and retains many original features. The substantial outbuildings and nearby farmhouse offer endless possibilities while the 42hectares of land encompasses a lake, truffle and walnut orchards and extraordinary views. |
Medieval château; the chateau is built over three floors which are each accessed via a superb heptagonal tower with stone staircase and renaissance doorway.
Ground floor; (225m²) the kitchen and office are habitable whilst the original kitchens, dining room with stone fireplace and pisé floor, large room with vaulted stone ceiling and the wine cellar are to be converted. At the far end of the building the original patisserie with 2 bread ovens and a stone sink are still in existence.
1st floor; (225m²) this floor is habitable and includes salon with wooden “cantou” fireplace and mullioned windows, office/ hallway, drawing room, 5 bedrooms – 2 of which have the original 19th century panelling, 2 shower rooms.
2nd floor; (225m²) four large loft areas (some already with dormer windows) are full height and could be converted into habitable rooms. A small anti-chamber on the 3rd floor houses another stone fireplace.
Outside; the large enclosed courtyard is flanked by three barns (totalling 500m²), one of which boasts the original flagstone floors. The 40 hectares of land incorporates 13ha of mixed woodland, 13ha of walnut orchards, 1.5ha of truffled trees, 1ha of Christmas trees and several water sources including a 5000m² lake.
The adjoining farm is included in the sale and offers a farmhouse (100m² - in need of renovation), barn (150m²) and bread oven - all set in 2hectares of pastureland.
This is a truly extraordinary estate, which we are pleased to be able to offer on an exclusive basis.
