Our local agent Andy Portsmouth is pleased to present this gorgeous château, with an elevated position and unspoilt countryside views, peaceful and private, with no close neighbours and surrounded by its gardens. Built in 1854 by one of Napoleon III's generals, its elegant Moorish style was inspired by his time in north Africa. You will love the way the elegant château emerges through the trees as you approach up the long driveway. During the last war, the house played an active role: being at the limit of free France it became a safe refuge for hundreds, organised by a Dutch painter and supported by the Dutch government - photos hang in the hallway. The blend of such a tranquil setting, and such a rich history, gives this chateau an uplifting character. You enter a wide hallway, with a living room (28m2) on your left, and another reception room (28m2) on your right, leading to a study (13m2). There is a large bright kitchen/dining room (43m2) that opens to the garden. Also downstairs, two bedrooms (14m2, 13m2), two bathrooms, and a WC. High ceilings and large windows make the interior bright throughout, the sun enters the front of the house in the mornings, and the rear in the afternoons. There's a large area for outside dining, next to the kitchen. Upstairs, a second kitchen/dining room (28m2) with logburner, a living area (18m2) with logburner, and a large room (56m2) used as a yoga hall, plus three more bedrooms (28m2, 16m2, 15m2), and a bathroom. The upstairs, which has been well insulated, can be used as separate accommodation. ADSL internet available. Crossing the garden, there's a beautiful stone building with a tower at each end - one tower is the bread oven, the other the pigeonry, and in-between is the stable. Then, the pretty coach house (179m2), has a kitchen/dining room with logburner, living room, three bedrooms, bathroom, and a garage, central heating (wood or oil) - the current owners live here and rent-out the château as a holiday home for up to 14 people, with workshops and a yoga retreat, providing a good living. Another section of the gardens, bordered by stone walls and overlooking open countryside, houses the pool (11.5mx4.5m, new liner in 2021). The coach house and château have separate septic tanks, up to regulations. The water supply is from the property's own source. Nobody has a right of way on the property. The village of Lessac (6 minutes) has a a café-restaurant-grocery shop, a post office, a hairdresser, or you can drive 10 minutes to the historic town of Confolens with supermarkets, hospital, restaurants, market, and a wonderful week-long festival of world music every August. There are some lovely villages and restaurants around here, only a short drive away. The city of Limoges is under 1 hour. Limoges airport (Gatwick, Stanstead, Manchester, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Bristol, Southampton), 45 minutes. View more View less Notre agent local M. Andy PORTSMOUTH vous présente ce magnifique château, avec une position élevée et une vue imprenable sur la campagne, paisible et privé, sans voisins proches et entouré de ses jardins. Construit en 1854 par l'un des généraux de Napoléon III, son style mauresque s'inspire de son séjour en Afrique du Nord. L'élégant château émerge à travers les arbres, à l'approche de la longue allée. Pendant la dernière guerre, la maison a joué un rôle actif: à la limite de la France libre, elle est devenue un refuge sûr pour des centaines, organisé par un peintre néerlandais et soutenu par le gouvernement néerlandais - des photos sont accrochées dans le hall. Le mélange d'un environnement si paisible et d'une telle histoire donne à ce château un caractère édifiant. Depuis le large hall d'entrée, il y a un salon (28m2) sur votre gauche, et une salle à manger (28m2) sur votre droite, menant à un bureau (13m2). Il y a une grande cuisine/salle à manger lumineuse (43m2) qui s'ouvre sur le jardin. Egalement au rez-de-chaussée, deux chambres (14m2, 13m2), deux salles de bains, et un WC. Les hauts plafonds et les grandes fenêtres de ce château rendent l'intérieur lumineux partout, le soleil pénètre à l'avant de la maison le matin et à l'arrière l'après-midi. Il y a un grand espace pour manger à l'extérieur, à côté de la cuisine. A l'étage, une deuxième cuisine/salle à manger (28m2) avec poêle à bois, un salon (18m2) avec poêle à bois et une grande pièce (56m2) utilisée comme salle de yoga, plus trois chambres (28m2, 16m2, 15m2) et une salle de bains. L'étage peut être utilisé comme logement indépendant. Internet ADSL disponible. Traversant le jardin, il y a un bâtiment en pierre avec une tour à chaque extrémité - une tour est le four à pain, l'autre le pigeonnier, et entre les deux une écurie. Ensuite, la jolie écurie/résidence du cocher de 179m2, quit dispose d'une cuisine/salle à manger avec poêle à bois, d'un salon, de trois chambres, d'une salle de bains et d'un garage, chauffage central (bois ou fioul) - les propriétaires actuels habitent ici et louent le château pour des vacances jusqu'à 14 personnes, avec des ateliers et une retraite de yoga, procurant un bon revenu. Dans une autre partie des jardins, bordée de murs en pierre et donnant sur la campagne, se trouve la piscine (11,5mx4,5m, nouveau liner en 2021). La remise et le château ont des fosses septiques séparées, aux normes. L'approvisionnement en eau provient d'une source sur la propriété. Personne n'a de droit de passage. Le village de Lessac a un café-restaurant-épicerie, un bureau de poste, un coiffeur, ou vous pouvez aller en 10 minutes à la ville historique de Confolens avec supermarchés, hôpital, restaurants, marché et un merveilleux festival d'une semaine de musique du monde tous les mois d'août. Il y a quelques charmants villages et restaurants dans les environs, à seulement quelques minutes en voiture. La ville de Limoges est à moins d'une heure. Aéroport de Limoges, à 45 minutes.
