Situated in the heart of the Creuse department of the Limousin region of France on the edge of a little village with all amenities, is this magnificent listed property consisting of an XVIIIth-century chateau, built on the foundations of an earlier, medieval building, flanked by two groups of XVIIth-century outbuildings, all set in some 12 hectares of parkland with superb views.


The chateau offers some 1,900m2 of habitable space in about 40 rooms. It is in good general order, although it would benefit from some internal and external work . A number of attractive period features remain, such as panelling, parquet floors and fireplaces.


The chateau itself comprises of;

Outside, the outbuildings form a U-shape with the main house, the outbuildings lie to east and west, around the formal courtyard. One part of these buildings needs structural renovation; the other part has had major work carried out to the roof and joinery in 2000.
