Castle Niort (79)

IN DEUX-SEVRES. This ravishing house is anchored in the countryside since the 15th century. Modified in the 16th and 17th C., it wears a round tower and a square tower, giving the structure a particular charm. Restored and decorated with a lot of talent in recent years, the logis has taken new life. The outbuildings and the barn attractively complete this 1.75 hectare property. Ready to welcome its new owners, it would be perfect for a host activity.
