600-Year-Old Historic House and Estate with a Swimming Pool and 16 Hectares of Land and Woodland

Property Description

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! Historic small chateau and estate in need of full and total renovation (subject to necessary permissions), dating in parts from the 16th century which in latter years hosted some of the 20th century's jazz and artistic greats including Billie Holiday and Miles Davis.

Set around a beautiful courtyard, these enchanting buildings are in need of a complete renovation to include reinstating some walls and ceilings. This is a major project but what an opportunity to create something amazing and resurrect a home written in the history of the arts!

Flowing across three floors, the many rooms include former living and entertaining spaces, kitchens, bathrooms and 5 bedrooms, all bathed in light.

The elegant stone spiral staircase tower rising through each floor level is just one of the many original features. An architectural digest of nooks and niches and the several monumental fireplaces attest to the house's unique history.

The immediate grounds include a large in-ground swimming pool and shaded areas to entertain and relax or for those more energetic times the 16 hectares of land and woodland offer walks and adventure.

The house is wonderfully private yet not isolated, being on the edge of the popular village of Antigny, 5 minutes from the World Heritage Site of St Savin and 15 minutes from bustling Montmorillon. The airport and TGV lines at Poitiers (Paris in 1.5 hrs) are only 45 minutes away.

There is current approval to convert the estate to a boutique hotel-plans - further details on request. Or keep it for yourself and let this unique property be part of your family's history too!
