A Château Steeped in History and Grand Proportions
Dating from the turn of the 18th century, this superb château in Tournon-Saint-Pierre is one of those rare properties that genuinely takes your breath away. Set within eleven acres of magnificent parkland, the main residence offers a level of space, grandeur and character that is simply impossible to replicate. The ground floor alone encompasses a stately entrance hall of 35m², a 43m² living room, an equally proportioned library and formal dining room, a charming conservatory of 50m², a well-appointed kitchen, a private study, and two romantic tower rooms each accessed by their own spiral staircase. Across the first and second floors, eleven beautifully sized bedrooms — each with its own ensuite bathroom or shower room — provide extraordinary accommodation for family, guests, or a thriving hospitality business. A vast attic and a fully equipped basement — featuring a 60m² snooker room, a second kitchen, laundry rooms and ample storage — complete this truly exceptional residence.
Private Lake, Parkland and a World-Class Estate
Step outside and the grounds are every bit as impressive as what lies within. The private lake is the jewel of the estate — a serene, shimmering expanse of water that lends the property an air of timeless tranquillity. Whether you envision lazy afternoons fishing from the bank, kayaking at sunrise, or simply gazing out across the water from one of the numerous patio areas, the lake sets this estate apart from almost anything else on the market. The parkland is graced with many mature, established trees, several of which are over a hundred years old, creating a sense of permanence and natural beauty that only centuries can produce. Electrically operated security gates with intercom ensure complete privacy, while ample parking, a workshop, and impeccably maintained outdoor spaces make this estate as practical as it is picturesque.
A Complete Estate — Château, Villa, Cottage and Pool
What elevates this property from a magnificent home to a truly exceptional estate is the wealth of additional accommodation it provides. A detached villa offers a ground-floor living, dining and kitchen space of 47m², an 84m² games room, and five bedrooms across the first floor, served by two shower rooms and a family bathroom — perfect for extended family, holiday rental income, or staff quarters. A separate groundskeeper’s cottage provides three bedrooms over two floors, ensuring that estate management can be handled entirely on-site. A heated swimming pool measuring 15 metres by 6 metres rounds off the leisure offering, making this an irresistible destination for guests and owners alike. Whether your vision is a luxury bed and breakfast, a boutique wedding venue, a private family retreat, or a combination of all three, this estate delivers on every level.
