MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
FULL DESCRIPTION
A manageable French chateau for sale just 15 minutes to the medieaval town of Le Blanc— 12 bedrooms across a historic main house and two apartments, a 14th-century tower, and 5 acres (2 hectares) of parkland, all at an exceptionally attractive price.
This equestrian-friendly property is surrounded by horse-filled pastures and offers outstanding potential as a private family home, bed-and-breakfast, or guest retreat.
Set in a peaceful position overlooking its own parkland, this country estate is in the heart of the Brenne Regional Nature Park. The nearby village offers everyday conveniences, including a restaurant, while Le Blanc provides schools, shops, bi-weekly farmers markets, restaurants, cafés, and a hospital — all within a beautifully preserved medieval setting.

Chateau
An impressive 16 m² (172 sq ft) entrance hall leads into three elegant reception rooms (approx. 342, 247, and 409 sq ft), each with hardwood or tiled floors, fireplaces, and high ceilings. This level also includes a dine-in kitchen, laundry/utility room, and a half bath.
A classic French oak staircase rises to the upper floors, where six bedrooms are found, including two private suites with en-suite shower rooms, plus an office, a laundry room, and a separate powder room. Every bedroom has at least private washing facilities. A self-contained caretaker's apartment with bathroom, sitting room, and bedroom is also located on this level.
The top floor offers a renovated office area and a spacious 81 m² (871 sq ft) unfinished attic — excellent potential for additional bedrooms, a studio, or extra living space.
