This imposing fortified house, with its interesting outbuildings, is situated on the border between Berry and Poitou. The surrounding countryside alternates between woodland and more open spaces, with gently rolling hills.
The Creuse valley lies to the south, just a short distance away. Steep cliffs dotted with castles, wooded meadows and charming little villages combine to create an enchanting landscape. Everywhere you look, you can find a riverside spot to go fishing, or a natural beach to enjoy swimming and boating.
Also in the Creuse Valley is Fontgombault Abbey, home to a vibrant and renowned Benedictine community; and the spa town of La Roche-Posay, whose waters treat the most common skin conditions. The world-famous eponymous cosmetics are produced there.
Heading east, you enter the Brenne. Renowned for its unspoilt natural environment and designated a Regional Nature Park, this region offers a wealth of opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Birdwatchers come from all over the world to observe waterfowl and migratory birds, whilst walkers, cyclists and horse riders enjoy the well-maintained trails winding their way between the ponds. Hunting enthusiasts also find ideal terrain here, in accordance with responsible practices.
The Brenne, the ‘Land of a Thousand Ponds’, is also an area of livestock farming and fish farming, whose produce is integral to the local cuisine. On this note, the Michelin-starred Maison Dallais (La Promenade restaurant) is just twenty minutes away.
Further west lies Poitiers, a major regional, university and commercial city, which can be reached in under an hour and from where TGVs depart regularly for Bordeaux or the capital.
At the end of a driveway, the château stands as a tall building oriented north-south. The 15th-C. main building has a gable roof covered with flat tiles and gable walls. To the east, a three-sided extension with a hipped roof, built on two levels in the early 20th-C., resembles the prow of a ship. The whole complex has a certain charm. To the west, a small 18th-century barn serves as the stern of this fine vessel. The facades of the main building are illuminated by windows of varying shapes and sizes. One of them is mullioned. Numerous holes for nesting boxes are visible at the top of the south facade.
The ground floor is accessed from each of the main façades: a large room with a monumental fireplace, and a kitchen in the extension with a toilet and utility room. On this level, there is also a room accessible only via a high window on the south façade.
On the first floor: two large rooms, one of which has a monumental fireplace, and, in the extension, two bedrooms with a shared shower room.
On the second floor, a large open-plan area with a bay window. Above this, an attic with a roof structure shaped like an upturned boat hull, which could be converted into an additional living space.
Cellar accessible from the ground floor and the outside.
OUTBUILDINGS :
The château has four outbuildings:
a 19th-C. barn facing the main house on the north side,
a beautiful barn with covered porches, one of whose eaves has recently been restored,
a sheepfold,
a farmhouse, which has two rooms, one of which has a fireplace.
Overall, these outbuildings are in need of renovation.
LAND :
The site, covering a total area of 12 acres (4.85 hectares), takes the form of a plateau on which the various buildings comprising the estate are situated, with a meadow featuring a few fine trees running alongside them.
To the south of the estate, a steeply sloping plot of land leads down to the charming Suin Valley, which is overlooked by the château.
