This magnificent Château, dating from the XIIth/XVIIth centuries, is set amid woodland at the top of a hill, with extensive views of the surrounding countryside. It offers some 1,000m2 of habitable space, plus outbuildings. The Château is in good general order, although some internal renovation is needed. The property boasts a wealth of period architectural features. The grounds extend to 10 hectares.

The estate is surrounded by a perimeter wall and an imposing stone entrance gateway gives access to the park. Set in the grounds is a historic stone XIIIth Century 'barbican' between two round towers with chimneys, where inhabitants in a bygone era would have heated the boiling oil to pour down on their enemies. Beyond this you come to the main gateway into the inner courtyard or 'Cour d'honneur'.
