The current owners have taken over 20 years to make the 114 hectares of land totally organic and self-draining and although they used to operate a successful organic arable farm, they retired from this a few years ago.
The lake with its small stone-built fisherman's house, is approximately 2-hectares in size and is well-stocked with carp. The stables and the many well kept farm tracks throughout provide lots of options for riding, without leaving the estate. The extensive natural woodland (and the entire farm) is surrounded entirely by the estate's own land, with no right of way walking paths or public roads traversing it.
The chateau has 6 bedrooms (2 en suite), a large gracious entrance hall, living room, tower room, dining room, reception room (currently hosting the full size snooker table) and sun room. Service stairways lead to vaulted cellars beneath and to the top floor with what may have been servant quarters.
The chateau is accessed via a long private country lane.
To the rear of the chateau is the delightful walled garden with lawns and hedging. Beyond this you have access to the farm storage barns and access roads to the rest of the land.
The estate has many outbuildings including a 3-bedroom coach house and a 3-bedroom cottage in need of some updating. The farm barns could be considered for any future additional housing projects.
Should you decide that farming the land is not for you, this estate could be considered for many other business opportunities including activity-led holidays with gites and glamping, or a peaceful retreat centre.
A walk around this estate is the only way to really understand the work that has been done to make the land fully organic and self draining. Oh, and the views are amazing!
Poitiers airport is the nearest at just over 1 hour's drive away.
