Just a few minutes from the popular town of Confolens on the river Vienne you will find this stunning chateau and lodge house set in mature grounds and surrounded by tranquil countryside.

The current owners have built up a rental business from which they now plan to retire. They have restored the mid nineteenth century chateau with love and respect for its original features. Originally built by a military officer of Napoleon upon his return from the Middle East the building reflects the architecture of the region and has over 420 m² of habitable space in addition to the large cellar. Designed to feel light and airy it now contains 8/9 private bedrooms with access to a variety of bathrooms. There are kitchen facilities on both the ground and the first floor, a large room currently used for yoga retreats and a large accessible roof area.

The detached 3 bedroom lodge is nestled at the other end of the grounds, offering an additional 169 m² of habitable space, privacy for the owners and easy access for to the Chateau's well maintained swimming pool set in its own private garden. There is a workshop and attic space in the lodge building that could be further developed (subject to permissions) and a turreted outbuilding with a bread oven, wood storage and the old stables.

This property offers so many opportunities with possible income. Possible gite business - a future owner may need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration) - book your visit today to appreciate its potential.

About Beaux Villages Immobilier, Gironde

3 Rue Robert Descorne, 33580 Monségur

Beaux Villages Immobilier specialises in property for sale in southern France. We pride ourselves on treating everyone – whether looking to purchase or sell a property – as an important individual, not a financial opportunity.

We all live and work in southern France and as buyers ourselves, we remember what it was like to take that leap of faith and trust an agent we didn't really know. We go the extra mile to take the stress out of buying a property whether your budget is €100k or €100 million.

France is the top destination of choice for property buyers in Europe. A stable property market, low crime, long life expectancy, low population density, diverse culture and world famous health, education and transport systems are frequently quoted. This has been our own personal happy experience.

Based in southern France, we are the first port of call for thousands of people each year who are looking to buy a home here.

Covering the entire southern half of France from the Atlantic coast across to the Mediterranean and the alps, our patch includes some of the prettiest villages and towns and most beautiful countryside and coast in the whole of France.

The company

Beaux Villages Immobilier was founded at the start of the financial crisis in early 2008 by Lynn Longley. These beginnings, in Monségur, (Gironde) were soon followed by offices in Verteillac and Lalinde (Dordogne). Now we are also well established with teams of property professionals working across the whole of southern France.

Since these early beginnings the team has grown to include several nationalities speaking a dozen languages and incorporating different cultures. Our common denominator is a love of the area that we have chosen to live and work in, and a desire to share that.

Now, post Brexit, we expect to open more offices and cover more areas.
