Our local agent Andy Portsmouth offer you, on it's own idyllic island in the Vienne river - the fourth largest river in France, this fabulous chateau with a rich history dating back over 1000 years. With easy access from the public bridge, there is ample external space for private parking and gardens, whilst the four connected buildings offer 1000m2 of space - a blank canvas for the realisation of your ideas. This is an opportunity to own the iconic centrepiece of a popular small town. In fact, the town itself is named after this château and it's one time owner Lord Jourdain ("Jordanus de Hisla"), who lived in his castle here around 1080-1115 and reigned over this part of the Vienne, and who collected tolls from the bridge and oversaw the river traffic. The property has also been a fort, a mill, and was once owned by an officer of Napoleon. This could make an absolutely fabulous venue, or retreat, or apartments, or an extraordinary home for someone who wants an exceptional space, history, and a stunning location - all windows have a beautiful view - of the river, of the valley, of the viaduct, of the pretty stone houses and church of this small town. A few minutes walk is all it takes from here to reach the town centre: there are five café-restaurants, two very close-by plus there's a supermarket, doctors, dentist, optician, pharmacy, garden centre, and a newly-renovated public swimming pool. There are tennis courts, zip-wires across the river, kayaking, great angling and walking, and a motorracing circuit with classic car events - this is an attractive and interesting environment that draws-in people there is plenty of demand here for holiday accommodation. From the bridge, you enter through huge 400 year-old wrought-iron gates bearing the initials of previous owners. On your right, a tower from the original chateau has been converted into a characterful one-bedroom holiday gite (43m2), then across the lawn with olive trees and a fountain, steps lead up to the main entrance and to a huge room of 95m2 with bar, open to another large room behind of 81m2 with WC. Plus, a commercial-style kitchen (21m2), an entertainment room (105m2) with stage and gallery - this room then opens onto a raised terrace of 60m with river and valley views on three sides. Also, two more rooms, 30m2 and 35m2, opening to another terrace with an outstanding unspoilt view directly up the river to the viaduct. Below all of this is a basement of a similar size, with windows overlooking the river, creating a very usable space, perhaps for a spa/gym. On the first floor are spaces of 113m2 and 32m2, plus convertible attic spaces on this floor and the next (with staircase) totalling 370m2. Those beautiful roofs were all new in 2016 and have been insulated. The external walls have all been insulated. Attached to the main building (with openings in progress between the two) is the building currently lived-in by the sellers - once part of the original chateau, with coach house added: the upstairs (49m2) is not finished downstairs you have a kitchen (26m2), bedroom with shower room (19m2), and living room (67m2 plus WC) opening to another beautiful river-facing terrace. There are also garages (58m2 for two vehicles, and 23m2 for one), and a huge workshop of 94m2. Around the beautiful rocky limits of the island, there are four points of access to the river for boats. Most of the interiors need renovaton: the windows, doors, heating and plumbing need replacing, floors, walls and ceilings to restore, and a new septic tank is needed. The new 3 phase electricity transformer is in place to supply the whole building, although currently only the building used by the owners has the electrics installed (on one phase). This is truly an extraordinary property that needs someone with the vision and finance to realise its doubtless huge potential.

View more View less Notre agent local Andy PORTSMOUTH vous propose, sur sa propre île idyllique dans la rivière Vienne, ce fabuleux château avec une riche histoire remontant à plus de 1000 ans. Avec un accès facile depuis le pont public, il y a suffisamment d'espace extérieur pour un parking privé et les jardins. Les quatre bâtiments connectés offrent 1000m2 d'espace - une toile vierge pour la réalisation de vos idées. Voici une opportunité de posséder la pièce maîtresse emblématique de cette petite ville populaire. En fait la ville elle-même porte le nom de ce château et le seigneur Jourdain (Jordanus de Hisla, d'environ vers 1080-1115) - il régnait sur cette partie de la Vienne et il percevait le péage du pont et pouvait surveiller le passage de la riviere, et vivait dans son château ici bâti sur cet îlot rocheux qui servait de part et d'autre d'appui au pont. La propriété a également servi de fort, moulin, et autrefois propriété d'un officier de Napoléon. Cela pourrait peut-être faire un lieu, une retraite ou des appartements absolument fabuleux, ou une maison extraordinaire pour quelqu'un qui veut un espace exceptionnel, avec une histoire et un emplacement magnifique - toutes les fenêtres ont une vue sur la rivière, la vallée, le viaduc, des jolies maisons en pierre et l'église de la petite ville. Quelques minutes à pied suffisent pour rejoindre le centre-ville: il y a cinq cafés-restaurants, et deux tout près de plus, il y a un supermarché, des médecins, un dentiste, un opticien, une pharmacie, une jardinerie et une piscine publique récemment rénovée. Il y a des courts de tennis, des tyroliennes sur la rivière, du kayak, de la pêche à la ligne, de la randonnée et un circuit de course automobile avec des événements de voitures classiques - c'est un environnement attrayant et intéressant qui attire les gens il y a beaucoup de demande ici pour un logement de vacances. Depuis le pont, vous entrez par d'immenses portes en fer forgé vieilles de 400 ans portant les initiales des propriétaires précédents. Sur votre droite, une tour qui faisait partie du château d'origine, transformée en un fabuleux gîte d'une chambre (43m2), puis à travers la pelouse avec des oliviers et une fontaine, des marches mènent à l'entrée principale et à une pièce de 95m2 avec bar, ouverte sur une autre pièce de 81m2 avec WC. De plus, une cuisine de style professionnelle (21m2), une salle de divertissement (105m2) avec une scène et une mezzanine - cette pièce s'ouvre sur une terrasse surélevée de 60m avec vue sur la rivière et la vallée sur trois côtés. En outre, il y a deux pièces supplémentaires, 30m2 et 35m2, ouvrant sur une deuxième terrasse avec une vue imprenable exceptionnelle directement sur la rivière jusqu'au viaduc. En dessous de tout cela se trouve un sous-sol de taille similaire, avec de fenêtres donnant sur la rivière, créant un espace utilisable, peut-être pour un spa/gym. Au premier étage se trouvent des espaces de 113m2 et 32m2, plus des combles aménageables à cet étage et au suivant (avec escalier) totalisant 370m2. Ces belles toitures ont toutes été refaites en 2016 et ont été isolées. Les murs extérieurs ont tous été isolés. Attenant au bâtiment principal (avec des ouvertures en cours entre les deux) se trouve le bâtiment actuellement habité par les vendeurs - une partie du château d'origine, avec une remise à calèches ajoutée: l'étage (49m2) n'est pas terminé au rez-de-chaussée vous trouvez une cuisine (26m2), chambre avec salle d'eau (19m2) et salon (67m2 plus WC) ouvrant sur une belle terrasse face à la rivière. Il y a aussi des garages (58m2 pour deux véhicules, et 23m2 pour un véhicule), et un immense atelier (94m2). Autour des belles limites rocheuses de l'île, il y a quatre points d'accès à la rivière pour les bateaux. La plupart des intérieurs ont besoin d'être entièrement rénovés: les fenêtres, les portes, le chauffage et la plomberie doivent être faites, les murs sols et plafonds à restaurer, et une nouvelle fosse septique est nécessaire. Le nouveau transformateur électrique triphasé est en place pour alimenter l'ensemble des bâtiments, bien qu'actuellement seul le bâtiment utilisé par les propriétaires actuels ait été équipé de l'électricité. C'est vraiment une propriété extraordinaire qui a besoin de quelqu'un avec la vision et les finances pour réaliser son potentiel sans aucun doute énorme.
