manors with terrace for sale Poitou Charentes, France

Between Berry and Touraine, on nearly 4 hectares, an old lordly residence from the 17th century, its guesthouse, and its outbuildings. From a small country road, a massive gate opens onto an inner courtyard that structures the entire property. The various buildings are arranged around this central space. To the west, the main house from the 17th century and its extension from the 18th century unfold under a flat tile roof. Raised over three levels, including an attic and a cellar, the building retains several architectural elements that recall its original defensive purpose. In the main living room, a bay window provides access to a terrace leading to an enclosed garden bordered by hedges and trees. Beyond, a second, larger lot reveals meadows, a shed, and an orchard. To the northwest of the courtyard, a well neighbors a rural gîte attached to a large barn and former agricultural enclosures. To the east, an outbuilding includes a garage, a workshop, storage spaces, and former stables. Finally, a last wooded parcel extends to the south. At the edge of the road, it features a still-functioning wood-fired oven.This description has been automatically translated from French.
