This beautiful château is hidden within its 71 acres (29ha) estate. A private location with good access to local amenities, Tours around 1h drive away and autoroute links to Paris and beyond.

Late 19th C. chateau, constructed on the foundations of a manor that dates back to the 14th century. It is composed of a centrally positioned 3 storey chateau, flanked by two large common buildings.

Ground floor: With ceiling heights over 3m the ground floor provides formal entrance hall, oak staircase, office/library, three spacious reception rooms and a professional kitchen with internal access to an independent 2 story apartment.

The estate covers a total surface area of 73.5 acres (29.75 hectares) bordered by country lanes and roads on all sides. Approximately half of the land is a beautiful forest, with walks and paths within and providing the supply of wood required for heating the property for many years to come. The lake measuring in the order of 3 acres (1.2hectares) is located to the rear of the "lake house" (north of the chateau) with an island and home to 3 swans the day I visited. The 8x4m swimming pool is located to the rear of the chateau a short stroll across the chateau's terrace. The formal entrance drive is gated and the driveway leading to the chateau passes through the park with lawn on either side and ornamental trees ending in front of the main chateau building. There is a separate "deliveries" entrance to the rear of the outbuildings that leads to a gravelled parking area in front of the garages and ample parking on site.
