Chateau in Gençay

A charming 19th-century estate with a guest house, outbuildings, a swimming pool, and wooded grounds – South of Poitiers

Just 35 minutes south of Poitiers (TGV station, highway, and airport), nestled in a peaceful rural setting, this beautiful 19th-century estate offers a rare combination of a 311 m² main residence, a fully renovated 128 m² guest house, spacious outbuildings, a swimming pool, and a lovely wooded park.

The main house, spread over three levels, has retained all the charm of the past: high ceilings, oak floors, fireplaces, original tile flooring, and a wooden staircase. The ground floor features a spacious double-height entryway, a living room, a small TV lounge, a dining room, and a kitchen with a fireplace and original tile flooring.

The first floor features four bedrooms, each with its own shower room or bathroom with a toilet. The decor and fixtures need to be updated. The second floor, which has been renovated, includes three additional bedrooms, a shower room, a separate toilet, and storage spaces. The attic is insulated.

The guest house, fully renovated, is a very comfortable independent space with a beautiful stone-floored living room featuring a wood-burning stove, a kitchen, two bedrooms, two shower rooms with toilets, and a large attic bedroom.

The outbuildings offer numerous possibilities: a former hunting room with a fireplace, a workshop, a summer kitchen, a boiler room/laundry, a pool equipment room, a room with a bread oven, a cellar, former garages, a large barn, an attic, and a spacious office-apartment.

Outside, the wooded grounds create a particularly pleasant and intimate setting in nearly 3 hectares of grounds. A 12 x 6-meter swimming pool with a landscaped deck completes the property. The property also features four horse stalls, a pool house, and, across the path, a charming pond with an adjoining garden.
