Description
Nestled in the heart of Indre-et-Loire, close to the renowned spa town of La Roche-Posay, this refined property is presented in excellent condition, thanks to the renovations carried out by its current owners.
Set within a park of nearly 5 hectares, enhanced by four majestic century-old sequoias, the château stands facing a romantic lake and an elegant heated swimming pool. The property serves both as a prestigious private residence and as a rare opportunity to continue and expand a high-end tourist and events business (currently operated as a B&B and a holiday rental; a future owner may need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration).
The Château
Access to the residence is via a stone staircase that highlights its authentic character. From the entrance, an original tiled hallway showcases the property’s intact charm. The reception rooms — living room, library, and dining room — offer elegant and light-filled spaces. At the rear are a family kitchen, an office, and a private area opening onto the veranda.
The side towers house graceful staircases leading to the upper floors, where eleven refined bedrooms unfold, each with its own en-suite bathroom. In the basement, a dining room and a kitchen dedicated to guests have been fitted out to meet the needs of the current bed-and-breakfast operation.
The Gite
Spacious and welcoming, the guesthouse extends over two levels. The ground floor includes an open-plan kitchen with dining area, as well as a vast meeting or games room, ideal for gatherings of families or groups. Upstairs, five large bedrooms complemented by two bathrooms and additional toilets provide both comfort and conviviality.
The Caretaker’s House
Adjoining the guesthouse, the caretaker’s house includes three bedrooms. It is currently rented to a couple responsible for security, cleaning, and maintenance services.
The Grounds
Entry to the estate is through a secure electric gate, leading to a large parking area. From the moment of arrival, visitors are struck by the serenity and harmony of the setting. The park, adorned with majestic sequoias, surrounds the lake and the heated swimming pool, which overlooks a lawn ideal for relaxation or outdoor dining.
Location
The property enjoys a privileged setting: only minutes from La Roche-Posay (golf, thermal baths, spa), the Brenne Regional Natural Park (hiking, cycling, wildlife observation), and within easy reach of Châtellerault and Poitiers (airport, high-speed train, Futuroscope).
A visit to this character-filled residence is essential to fully appreciate its elegance, tranquility, and exceptional potential.
