Magnificent 19th Century Château with 9 bedrooms, 2-bedroom gîte, swimming pool, parkland and outbuildings

Superb 19th Century château overlooking Saint-Maixent-l'École from the heart of the sought-after village of Exireuil. Offering 9 bedrooms, an independent two-bedroom gîte, heated swimming pool, extensive outbuildings and over 4 hectares (43,037m²) of parkland and gardens. Rich in original character and ideally located close to the TGV station, Poitiers and the A10 motorway.

Standing proudly in an elevated position in the heart of the charming village of Exireuil, this elegant 19th Century French château enjoys beautiful open views towards the historic market town of Saint-Maixent-l'École. Combining timeless architecture with generous living space and over 43,037m² (just over 4 hectares) of gardens, woodland and parkland, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional country estate in one of the most accessible areas of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

The château has been carefully maintained while retaining the character and grandeur expected from a property of this period. High ceilings, decorative mouldings, original parquet flooring, impressive fireplaces and the magnificent double-revolution staircase all contribute to its unique charm.

The accommodation extends over three floors, providing substantial and versatile living space.

The ground floor centres around the impressive entrance hall and staircase, leading to elegant reception rooms, a spacious dining room, fitted kitchen, utility areas, boiler room, WC and additional service rooms. The layout lends itself equally well to family life and entertaining.

The first floor offers five generous bedrooms, including two with en-suite bathrooms, together with a further family bathroom and separate WC.

The second floor provides four additional bedrooms, one with a shower room, together with a further bathroom and separate WC and grenier, making the château ideal for large families, multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

Two of the second-floor bedrooms each have their own private staircase leading into the château's towers, where delightful turret rooms create unique character spaces ideal for storage, reading rooms or simply enjoying one of the property's most distinctive architectural features.

Outside, the estate is equally impressive. The heated swimming pool enjoys a private setting within the grounds, while the former pool building has been converted into a comfortable independent two-bedroom gîte. The gîte is currently let, providing an attractive source of rental income while remaining completely separate from the main château.

The grounds extend to 43,037m², creating an exceptional setting of mature trees, lawns, woodland and open parkland. Despite its size, the estate sits within the village, offering privacy while remaining within easy walking distance of local amenities.

The substantial outbuildings, including former stables, garages and barns, provide enormous scope for workshops, storage, additional leisure facilities or further development, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

One particularly charming tradition has been the owners' generous decision to allow part of the grounds to host Exireuil's annual village fête during the summer months. This has created a wonderful connection with the local community, although there is absolutely no obligation for future owners to continue this arrangement.

Although enjoying a peaceful setting, the property is exceptionally well connected. Saint-Maixent-l'École, with its shops, schools, restaurants and TGV station, is just a few minutes away, while the A10 motorway, Poitiers (approximately 50 km) and La Rochelle are all easily accessible.

Whether sought as a prestigious family residence, an income-generating lifestyle property or a magnificent French château with extensive grounds, this outstanding estate offers an increasingly rare combination of history, character, privacy and accessibility.
