Ref. 4321: Feodal historic monument complex for sale
In the south of Touraine region, this small castle is set in a peaceful location away from prying eyes and nuisances, within an architectural complex comprising three parts. It has retained all its charm since being restored in 2010. It is close to the shops, with quick access to a train station and the motorway.
Situated at the crossroads of the Vienne, Touraine and Anjou regions, this château embodies the charm and majesty of French architecture. Elegantly dominating its surroundings, it offers a striking vision with its towers and facades adorned with refined architectural details. Following its purchase in 2010, a restoration campaign was undertaken to turn it into an exhibition space. Dating back to the 14th and 17th centuries, it is not lacking in singularity. The architectural complex is located on an ancient Roman road. We can assume that passers-by had to pay a tax to access the neighboring territory. Around 1860, the old feudal fortress was replaced by a more recent construction. During the Wars of Religion, the castle was attacked by both Catholics and Protestants. The castle's walls are flanked by large round towers topped by corbels and conical roofs. The fortified entrance gate (15th century), with its semi-circular arch, is topped by a small corbelled building flanked by round towers..
The château comprises two wings linked by a corridor.
In the first wing: The ground floor, formerly a sheepfold, has been converted into :An entrance hall, A lounge with a monumental fireplace, A library, A kitchen in the tower, A utility room and a bedroom with bathroom and toilet.
The first floor, accessed via two staircases, comprises: two large rooms, a bedroom and a shower room to be converted in the tower.
A corridor leads to the second wing of the château with a study on the mezzanine floor.
In the second wing : A vast lounge, A bedroom with fireplace and a tower to be converted.
On the ground floor of the west wing is a barn, converted into a single section. An old wine press still remains. The barn leads to a vaulted cellar that could be converted, subject to planning permission. Access to the separate garden on the other side of the walls is only possible from this barn.
The property is part of a historic architectural complex divided into 3 châteaux, linked to each other but retaining all their privacy. The grounds of 3,585 sqm comprise the inner courtyard 595 sqm, the 140 sqm independent garden, the driveway leading to the castle and the pleasure grounds to the west of the property.
The chateau is listed on the Inventaire supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques by decree of 02/02/1931.
