Country: France

Ref.: 021535

Enclosed by walls, in the heart of a village, impressive volumes offering great potential.

Magnificent 15th century castle, remodeled in the 19th century, built on the foothills of a 12th century fortress, overlooks a small village typical of Indre at the beginning of Brenne, 5 minutes from a village which benefits from local shops and services.

With its impressive towers, it overlooks the village and thus offers a majestic view of the countryside. It benefits from exceptional light, a 2.4 ha park with century-old trees, an orchard (pear, walnut, cherry, apple trees), a vegetable garden.

The ground floor is accessed by steps leading to a superb entrance or guard room. Crossing it you access a gigantic terrace paved with magnificent large slabs of Burgundy stone offering a superb view of the fortified wall and the park.
The 300m2 of the ground floor consists of a dining room, living room, kitchen, office, library, pantry, bathroom, and toilet with beautiful high ceilings.
Access to the upper floors is via two superb stone staircases, the 2m wide walls of the castle.

On the first floor of 200m2, there are lounges almost 5m high, a chapel adjoining a superb 80m2 bedroom, and a magnificent marble bathroom like all those in the castle.

On the second floor, three superb suites with lounges, numerous rooms that can be converted into offices, and bedrooms with their own bathrooms and toilets. Access is via secret passages hidden in a library.

On the third floor, in the converted attic, you will discover an astonishing 240m2 loft-style living room with an impressive inverted boat frame.

The 1400m2 castle has been completely restored with breathtaking attention to detail and respect for the period, with its marble, woodwork, and wooden floors. You literally just have to move in.

The two outbuildings offer countless possibilities for converting 15 to 20 bedrooms and bathrooms into gites, hotels, receptions, and guest rooms.

In the first 15th-century outbuilding, near the castle’s main entrance where the drawbridge was located, a superb suite with bathroom has already been restored, and there are 4 other rooms to be converted.
Upstairs, a gigantic 300m2 room, probably a former garrison dormitory, can be converted into bedrooms or other purposes. The current owner has already laid the electrical cables for renovation.
At the end of this building, there is a superb tower served by a stone staircase, which gives access to the village square.
Along the fortress wall, a superb 15th century building has been erected on 3 partially converted levels.
At the other end of the property on the west side: A superb barn made of local stone where agricultural equipment is stored is also in need of restoration.
The castle, steeped in history, is very impressive and captivating, rising towards and exuding a certain serenity.
