Property Description:

This is a unique opportunity to purchase an impressive French 'Logis' dating from the 15th century with a fully converted Gite, a house for restoration, a huge barn for possible conversion and a hectare of land.

Set in the heart of rural France in the Deux Sevres region of the Poitou-Charentes, renowned for having one of the most pleasant climates in France besides the French Riviera.

The main house has over 14 rooms including a huge cave. Many are of generous sizes, the lounge and master bedroom for example being over 6m x 7m each with high ceilings.


The property has it's own website with full details, photographs, floor plans, ground plans and video.

Adjacent to the Gite is a 10m x 5m swimming pool (see photo)

The Guardian's House (Requires Renovation)
The Guardian's house, in need of renovation with it's ancient washtub, well, and grape vine around the door would make a delightful cottage with modest outlay and imagination.

This house was the prior residence of the Estate's manservant.   Please visit the property's website for further information.

The Unconverted Barn

The barn is deceptively spacious, over 200 sq metres of ground space and plenty of height to add another floor.
