luxury contemporary house for sale Argenton-sur-Creuse, France

From our local agent Andy Portsmouth: Contemporary hilltop home with spectacular views over Chauvigny This fabulous contemporary home of approximately 316 m² occupies an exceptional hilltop position overlooking the historic town of Chauvigny. Approached along its own tree-lined private driveway and surrounded by 3.4 hectares of fully fenced parkland and woodland, it offers a wonderfully private and peaceful setting while remaining close to the town and its amenities. Please see the video tour on the You Tube channel Andy Portsmouth's French Country Houses. The house was designed around its view of Chauvigny. At its heart is a spectacular 80 m² double-height living and dining room, where an enormous picture window was deliberately positioned to frame the medieval town and its historic skyline perfectly in the centre of the view. It is a striking architectural feature and one that changes beautifully with the light and the seasons. The main room opens into a 19 m² kitchen, creating almost 100 m² of open-plan living space, complemented by a separate 10 m² back kitchen. Large glazed doors open onto the terraces and the heated swimming pool, allowing the interior living space, garden and extraordinary view to flow naturally together. The back kitchen also provides practical access to a two-car garage and a large cellar. The ground-floor principal suite is equally generous. The 21 m² bedroom opens directly onto the terrace and pool and is complemented by a large dressing room and a superb 14 m² en-suite bathroom, with bathtub, walk-in shower, double washbasin and WC. Also on the ground floor are two further bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate WC and utility room. From here there is also internal access to a second garage with space for up to three cars. Upstairs, the scale of the house continues with an extraordinary 80 m² landing enjoying wonderful views on two sides. Far more than simply a circulation space, it offers considerable possibilities as an additional sitting area, library, games area or relaxation space. This level also includes a further bedroom, a large shower room with WC and a study. The house is well equipped for comfortable year-round living, with central heating provided by a pellet boiler, together with 4.6 kW of solar panels, aluminium double glazing, a water softener and a conforming septic system. Security and convenience are also well catered for, with an alarm system, internal and external cameras, electric entrance gates, electric shutters and electrically operated garage doors. Please ask me for the video tour, this is a house where the scale, setting and, above all, the carefully framed view towards Chauvigny are difficult to fully appreciate through photographs alone. Chauvigny is one of the most distinctive historic towns in the Vienne, dramatically situated above the River Vienne and particularly renowned for its remarkable medieval upper town. Its hilltop Cité Médiévale is dominated by the remains of several medieval castles and the Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre, while the lower town provides the practical amenities needed for everyday life, including shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, schools and medical services. The town has a lively atmosphere throughout the year, with its market, cultural events and historic centre attracting visitors while Chauvigny retains the character of a genuine, lived-in French town. Poitiers is around 25 to 30 minutes away, providing an airport and easy access to the TGV, major shopping and services, the university and hospital, while the surrounding countryside offers beautiful landscapes for walking, cycling and exploring.

Situated in the heart of the beautiful Limousin countryside, close to the charming town of Châteauneuf-la-Forêt and just 40 minutes from Limoges, this remarkable 18th-19th century château estate offers an extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of the region's most unique historic properties. Unlike a traditional fairytale castle', this estate combines authentic French heritage with an intriguing and unusual history that gives the property genuine character and commercial potential. Originally constructed for aristocratic ownership during the late 18th or early 19th century, the château entered a completely different chapter of its life in 1934 when it was acquired by the CHU hospital group of Limoges and transformed into a sanatorium dedicated to the treatment of tuberculosis and chronic illnesses, before the widespread use of antibiotics. During this period, several substantial buildings were added to the estate, including a former hospital complex of approximately 1,200m² which still stands today. As medical treatments evolved, the site later became a psychiatric care institution before finally closing in 1995. In 2000, the current owners purchased the estate from the CHU of Limoges and undertook an immense programme of restoration and redevelopment. While the exterior of the château had retained its elegant historic appearance, decades of institutional use had stripped the interior of its original decorative features. Rather than attempting to recreate the past artificially, the owners embraced the opportunity to create a distinctive blend of historic architecture and contemporary design. The result is a property with striking modern interiors set within an authentic château exterior, offering comfort, practicality and style while preserving the estate's historical identity. The château itself now offers exceptional reception and hospitality facilities. On the ground floor there is a large boiler room with an efficient wood-fired central heating system, office space, a magnificent reception hall perfectly suited for weddings and events, a games room and a fully equipped professional commercial kitchen ideal for caterers or in-house hospitality operations. The first floor features a luxurious two-bedroom apartment with kitchen, lounge, dining room, dressing room and bathroom. The second floor offers a further spacious and beautifully appointed two-bedroom apartment with large lounge, kitchen, dining room, office and bathroom. These elegant apartments are perfectly suited as premium guest accommodation or bridal suites for weddings and private events. Beyond the château, the former hospital buildings provide enormous development potential. Parts have already been renovated, including the creation of high-quality shower and toilet facilities for the campsite, where each pitch benefits from its own private bathroom space ? a rare and highly attractive feature for luxury camping. Additional apartments were successfully rented until the owners' recent retirement. The remaining wings of the former hospital have largely untouched potential, offering the possibility to create at least 25 additional bedrooms or approximately 6 to 8 substantial apartments, subject to the necessary permissions. This is where the estate becomes truly exceptional as a hospitality or events business: very few wedding venues are capable of accommodating entire wedding parties on-site. With the possibility of over 30 bedrooms plus 25 camping pitches, the commercial possibilities are considerable. The owners operated the business on only a limited seasonal basis of approximately eight weeks per year, generating around euros140,000 annually from safari tents and holiday accommodation alone. This demonstrates both the appeal of the location and the strength of the concept. A future owner could significantly expand operations through year-round château rentals, weddings, retreats, wellness events, corporate functions or boutique hospitality. The estate therefore offers not only a major development opportunity, but also the ability to generate revenue almost immediately. The grounds are equally impressive. In front of the château lies an elegant lawned park with swimming pool, while to the rear are landscaped gardens, terraces, a bar area, snack kitchen, outdoor dining terraces and covered entertaining spaces. Numerous outbuildings, walled gardens, woodland and meadowland extend across the estate, creating endless opportunities for leisure activities, animals, glamping or nature-based tourism. Hidden within the woodland is an enchanting pond, reached by peaceful forest walks with spectacular countryside views throughout. This is not simply another château. It is a rare and highly distinctive estate with a fascinating past, substantial existing infrastructure and exceptional commercial potential. Whether envisioned as a luxury wedding venue, wellness retreat, boutique hospitality destination, private estate or tourism project, the pro (5.13 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)
