Magnificent château with lifestyle business
- Magnificent chateau with established business
- Beautiful grounds with lake and views
- Further development potential with planning permission
- Lovingly restored with many original features
- Stone staircases & vaulted wine cellars
Lovingly and sympathetically restored by the current owners, the main château has a grand entrance hall with imposing fireplace, and a large kitchen with fabulous original stone floor. There are plenty of character features throughout, such as stone floors, lovely staircases, exposed stone walls, fireplaces and artisan plasterwork.
There are three reception rooms. Two are currently used as vintage tearooms and enjoy direct access onto a large terrace overlooking the grounds.
On the first floor are five sumptuously decorated bedrooms, including two suites of rooms. All have luxury ensuite facilities. The vast attic offers the opportunity to create further accommodation, and there are also magnificent vaulted cellars with yet more potential.
Extending from one side of the château is a courtyard surrounded by outbuildings, including a large stone barn of 150m2. The old stables have been converted into a lovely maison d’amis or gîte, and planning permission is in place to convert the other outbuildings into six further gîtes and a function room.
The current owners have done all the hard work of restoring the château, updating the basics to meet modern needs and regulations, and enhancing it to become the lifestyle business it is today. The new owners will reap the rewards of all that hard work and still have plenty scope to make their own enhancements – this is must-see opportunity!

Discuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
