Châtellerault, Charente 86100

Situated in the border region between Touraine, Poitou and Berry, this former 15th-century fortress overlooks the Gartempe valley. It enjoys a unique location in the countryside, in a well-preserved setting, whilst remaining close to amenities just a few minutes away. The château is built in a commanding position on a rocky outcrop. It comprises a 13th-century keep (listed as a historic monument) and a 15th- and 18th-century chateau flanked by several towers. Access to the courtyard is via a porch through the chateau, where we discover a swimming pool and superb views over the valley. You will certainly appreciate the authenticity of this unique property where different eras blend together harmoniously. The main house is a cosy family home offering beautiful, light-filled reception rooms opening onto a balcony terrace overlooking the valley. Exceptional! The sleeping area offers no less than 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Several outbuildings complete the property, including a guest house, garages, barns and a former chapel. The large convertible attic in the main house, the keep and the annexe house offer very interesting potential for conversion and additional accommodation. The grounds cover approximately 7.6 hectares comprising courtyards, gardens, an orchard, a vegetable garden, meadows and woodland. The property is richly wooded, partly enclosed by walls and crossed by a stream. Ideally located near La Roche-Posay, renowned for its spa, and 30 minutes from Châtellerault, where the Tgv station offers a 1 hour 20 minute connection to Paris Montparnasse.
