Property description:

Located an hour to the North of Bordeaux and less than 70 km of La Rochelle airport. 30 minutes from Cognac, the Atlantic Ocean, and Royan.

The property offering 9 main rooms and 11 bedrooms en-suite includes the chateau with its orangery and tower (750m2), a pretty  cottage (80m2), a converted barn (65m² ) with access for disabled guests (studio + bedroom), a farmhouse (190m2 to be renovated) and several additional outbuildings.

Having been renovated during 2000 – 2003, the chateau has been used commercially since 2002, offering 1 gites (living room 40m² plus bedroom and bathroom above) , a studio (Bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette) and 8 luxury bedrooms (bed & breakfast).
However, the property could without difficulty be converted back into a private residence.

The chateau is part of an estate of 42 hectares (103 acres) with approximately 33 hectares of farm land, without farm rent. The remaining 9 hectares are a mixture of orchards and landscaped gardens, parkland and 4.5 ha of forest with pathways and small stream.

Development potential : Conversion of the farmhouse into 5 self-catering studios could boost the gîte activity or increase the residential seminar capacity, outbuildings such as the stone barn and stable (240m2) could provide a reception/conference room or 10 further bedrooms.
