Property Description
19th Century historic chateau estate with 15 hectares and vineyard
Situated just 15 km from Poitiers is this historic chateau built by 2 kings for the governor of Chatellerault, set on a 15-hectare estate and 4.5-hectare vineyard.
The Chateau, unfortunately, has been abandoned, by its current owners and therefore is tired and requires some tender loving care, but with very little work this property could be restored back to its former glory and create a beautiful residence for someone to live or create a small business, also suitable for anyone with horses.
Access to the chateau is along a private driveway, bringing to the main frontage with mature trees and country views over the fields and vineyard, entering the chateau into the grand hall with marble fireplace, leading off the grand hall is a dining room, office, lounge,, remains of old commercial kitchen, toilets, changing rooms and gymnasium, a beautiful staircase leading to first and 2nd floors, comprising of 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, outdated and require modernisation; and final floor with huge attic that could also be converted.
Underneath the chateau is a huge cellar divided up into service areas, heating etc, leading to the large chai of 240m2 although not been used for some years apparently still in working order, with 10 tanks. A 3 bedroom gite, with lounge and kitchen which needs some attention. To the rear of the property is a hardstanding of 500m² with commercial electric supply, this was used as a wedding venue and the hard standing for a marquis. A walled secret garden can be found within the boundaries of the estate.
Normally this estate would be double the price advertised, but taking into account the above information it has been priced correctly to sell.
In 1996 this castle was restored and operated as a wedding venue, hotel and restaurant, also vineyard producing Haute Poitou sauvignon blanc, although not been cared for the vineyard needs some attention, but 75% of the vines are still living. All the winery works are still operational.
