Once In A Lifetime
An enchanted fairy-tale Chateau, dating back from the 12th century, awaits you down a magnificent tree lined drive. Set amongst its 25 hectares with immaculately landscaped gardens this breath-taking estate really makes you feel you are in paradise. The pool sets the scene as an oasis of calm while the chateau spectacularly renovated to an exceptionally high standard with no expense spared and every single details is thought of, from the majestic fireplaces to the exuberant dining area, the luxurious master bedroom with a bathroom and dressing, to the imposing fountain and the opulent orangery. An independent 5 bedroom guesthouse, towers and magnificent outbuildings of which a watermill and guardian house are the cherry on the cake. The 25 hectares are divided into agricultural land, a walnut orchard and lovely forest next to a navigable river.
