A beautifully renovated medieval chateau located in West Deux Sevres, close to a village with shops and a bakery, and nestled in a private park of 9.5 hectares (24 acres).

- Ground floor: large dining kitchen, adjacent dining room with wood fired pizza oven, laundry room, 2 bedrooms with bathroom, summer kitchen opening up onto the sun terrace and pool area. Well equipped cellars.
- First floor: 4 large bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms, main salon, music room, WC. Stairs to upper and ground floors.

The property is presented in excellent condition and features an efficient and ecological heating system - Hargassner shredded wood boiler - located in the barn.
In the barn is also a caretaker cottage with living room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 2 garages and lots of storage.
The park covers 9.5 hectares (around 24 acres) and includes gardens, orchard, terraced vegetable gardens and a beautiful wrought iron greenhouse, meadows and woodland.
Around the castle are planted magnificent trees, some hundreds of years old. A wrought iron bridge which leads across the dry moat supports white and purple flowering wisteria - gorgeous in spring.
The estate is crossed by a small river that feeds the canal and the medieval lavoir (wash house) located below the castle.
This is a beautiful, tranquil and private property, absolutely charming.
