An exceptional 15th–16th-century château, remodelled in the 19th century – a 108-hectare estate
Situated in Basse-Marche, in the heart of the unspoilt countryside of the Montmorillonnais region, this magnificent château enjoys a remarkable natural setting, surrounded by meadows, woods and ponds, within a rolling, verdant landscape.
Access to the property is via an elegant driveway lined with tall oak trees, offering a gradual and majestic approach that reveals the full beauty and serenity of the surroundings. Poitiers and Limoges are less than an hour away, whilst essential amenities (shops, medical services, schools) are just 20 minutes away.
Built between the 15th and 16th centuries and subsequently remodelled in the 19th century, the château boasts a harmonious and perfectly balanced architectural style. Set in the heart of its 108-hectare estate, it offers a rare living environment, combining authenticity, elegance and absolute tranquillity.
The main entrance opens onto a superb semi-circular courtyard forming a U-shape. The central main building is flanked by two wings set at right angles, ending in a crenellated wall. The complex is enclosed by a gate inspired by Second Empire architecture, lending the property a noble and prestigious air.
To the south, a beautifully landscaped park surrounds the château, featuring a pond. A tree-lined path, shaded by majestic ornamental trees, invites visitors to take a stroll and leads to a remarkable 15th-century dovecote, listed as a Historic Monument — a heritage site of great rarity.
The château – approx. 400 m² of living space
The ground floor (approx. 200 m²) opens onto a spacious entrance hall leading to beautiful reception rooms, which open out onto a splendid terrace overlooking the valley and the pond.

A beautiful oak staircase with balusters, complemented by a service staircase, leads to the first floor, which comprises:
• four spacious bedrooms,
• two bathrooms with toilets in the main building,
• as well as a bedroom in each of the two towers.
The second floor, currently an attic, offers great potential for conversion.
The property is characterised by its spacious rooms and abundant natural light, thanks to numerous windows running the full width of the walls.
Outbuildings and annexes
The main courtyard is flanked by two substantial outbuildings:
• On the left: a caretaker’s house (approx. 45 m²) comprising a living room with kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, a toilet and a terrace, as well as a woodshed and a storage area.

The circular dovecote, listed as a Historic Monument, is an exceptional heritage feature. It retains 533 nesting boxes, as well as an internal gallows with its ladder and original paved floor.
