It also has an adjoining outbuilding of approximately 177 m².

From the entrance, the ground floor reveals all the charm of the place with a characterful library or office, a spacious kitchen with a wood stove, and a cozy living room also equipped with a stove. Above the fireplace, an ancient period fresco gives this room a unique atmosphere and remarkable character.

The first floor houses three independent suites, each with its own bathroom, offering ideal comfort for a high-end welcoming activity. On the top level, three more bedrooms complete the ensemble. The château has been fully renovated, with only the top floor needing some refreshing work. The estate also reveals rare and particularly authentic spaces in its vaulted basements. A vast living room carved from stone houses an old period bread oven, while several former cells and the historic well of the château remain visible. An access carved in stone leads to a wellness space including a heated indoor pool and an independent sauna, giving the whole a unique and extraordinary atmosphere. Outside, the property extends over nearly 9.1 hectares, blending land, orchard, wooded areas, and vast natural expanses. Two ponds, rich in carp reaching nearly a meter in length, contribute fully to the charm of the estate. Two outbuildings and stables complete this exceptional property.
