Châtellerault, Charente 86100

Reference: PFYR-T211211. Enchanting chateau with two cottages and barns, nestling in beautiful landscaped gardens with pool while enjoying panoramic countryside views from its peaceful location in Chatellerault. An exceptional rural residence situated on the banks of a picturesque river valley in the southern Loire valley. Perfect for a large family home or a tourism project (small weddings, events, B&B or a small luxury hotel). This chateau was once a 17th century hunting lodge, built in beautiful countryside. It was added onto in the 18th and 19th centuries and today is a beautiful mix of old and new. Large reception rooms filled with light have direct access to the front terrace. Two beautiful kitchens are a chef's dreams, with their beautiful La Corneau stoves. Over two floors are 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. There is potential for further bedrooms in the beautiful high-ceiling attic, or in the two cottages which form the ensemble of outbuildings. Two fine barns add to the potential provided by the outbuildings for events, stables, classic car collection storage and a myriad of other uses. A fine swimming pool, on a lower terrace below the house is enjoyable for a long season in the sheltered suntrap, surrounded by lawns and fine mature trees and mixed borders of perennial plants. To the side is a handsome forest for immersing oneself in nature. All around the property is attractive countryside. The town of Chatellerault is nearby for TGV connections to Paris, stores and all services. The chateaux of the Loire valley are minutes away. Wine from the celibrated vineyards of Vouvray are nearby, as is the university city of Tours. FEATURES Internet Double Glazing
