Description
A Timeless Retreat in the Heart of Poitou-Charentes
Imagine waking up in a 10th-century chateau, where history whispers through every stone and beam. Nestled in the picturesque town of Civray, this remarkable property offers a unique blend of medieval charm and modern comfort, making it an ideal vacation home or second residence for those seeking a slice of French heritage.
A Journey Through Time
As you step through the grand entrance, the stone tower stands as a sentinel of the past, its spiral staircase inviting you to explore the stories etched into its walls. The chateau's two wings, connected by an open passageway, offer a harmonious balance of space and privacy. With six bedrooms and four bathrooms, this residence is perfect for hosting family gatherings or intimate retreats.
Living the French Countryside Dream
The daily rhythm of life here is a gentle dance with nature. Mornings begin with the soft light filtering through double-glazed windows, casting a warm glow on exposed stone walls and flagstone floors. The aroma of freshly baked bread from the working bread oven mingles with the scent of lavender from the garden, creating a sensory tapestry that is quintessentially French.
Seasonal Splendor and Local Delights
Each season brings its own magic to Civray. Spring paints the landscape with wildflowers, while summer invites leisurely picnics by the Charente River. Autumn's golden hues are perfect for exploring nearby vineyards, and winter's crisp air is best enjoyed by the warmth of the wood-burning stove.
The local cuisine is a celebration of regional flavors, with markets offering fresh produce, artisanal cheeses, and fine wines. Dining al fresco on the wooden terrace, with views stretching over 2 hectares of sloping land, is an experience to savor.
A Gateway to Adventure and Culture
Beyond the chateau's tranquil setting, the region offers a wealth of activities. Explore the historic towns of Civray and Ruffec, just 10 km away, or venture further to discover the cultural treasures of Poitou-Charentes. From hiking and cycling to river kayaking, outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities for adventure.
Architectural Elegance and Modern Comfort
The chateau's architectural details are a testament to its storied past. Exposed beams, traditional lime-hemp plaster, and cœurs de demoiselle stone floors create an ambiance of rustic elegance. Modern amenities, including a mixed oil/wood central heating system and energy-efficient hot-water tanks, ensure year-round comfort.
Investment Potential and Practical Considerations
