A 240 ha hunting estate on the edge of the Brenne nature park, with a lodge awaiting renovation, a farmhouse, woods, lakes and fields.
Just over one hour from Tours and Poitiers, the estate is situated in a wooded region featuring a mix of cultivated fields, grasslands and numerous waterways. Close to La Roche-Posay and on the edge of the Brenne Regional Nature Park, the nearest amenities are less than a 10-minute drive away. Chatellerault is the closest TGV station, 35 minutes from the property, with trains connecting to Paris in 1 hr 10 min or 1 hr 30 min.
From the main road, a driveway leads to the entrance gate of the estate. From here, the drive continues through the woods to reach the hunting lodge and the farm, as well as a caretaker's house a little further on. The facades of the various buildings are of rendered stone, with rectangular or arched openings. The two-, three- or four-pitched roofs are clad with flat or interlocking tiles.
There are lakes scattered throughout the grounds, while the arable fields are grouped together in a single area.
The hunting lodgeThis L-shaped, two-storey building with a basement dates back to the 1950s. The facades are rendered in white, with evenly spaced, semi-circular windows, topped by a gable roof with flat tiles, catslide dormers and a tall chimney stack. The rooms are spacious and luminous.
