Amazing castle near Chatauroux.
Walled enclosure, right in the center of a village, impressive volumes offering great potential.
Magnificent 15th-century castle remodeled in the 19th century, built on the foothills of a 12th-century fortress, overlooks a typical small village in Indre at the beginning of Brenne, 5 minutes from a village that benefits from shops and local services.
With its impressive towers, it overlooks the village and thus offers a majestic view of the countryside. It benefits from exceptional light, a 2.4-hectare park with century-old trees, an orchard (pear, walnut, cherry, apple trees), and a vegetable garden.
You access the ground floor via steps leading to a superb entrance or guard room. Crossing it, you access a gigantic terrace paved with magnificent wide slabs of Burgundy stone, offering a superb view of the fortified wall and the park.
The 300m2 on the ground floor consist of a dining room, living room, kitchen, office, library, utility room, bathroom, and toilet, all with beautiful high ceilings.
You access the upper floors via two magnificent stone staircases; the castle walls are 2 meters thick.
On the first floor, which spans 200 m², there are salons with ceilings almost 5 meters high, a chapel adjacent to a superb 80 m² bedroom, and a magnificent marble bathroom like all those in the castle.
