General condition
The Chateau as it stands today has been built in 1880 and has been continuously looked after. It is in very good condition on the ground floor and first floor. Maybe just the kitchen and plumbing would benefit from updating to your taste. All original elements are still there and in perfect condition, such as floors, fireplaces, staircase, wooden panelling, wall and ceiling decoration, doors with handles etc. The second floor needs total renovation. The joineries are wooden simple glazing, wooden shutters, alarm with video surveillance.

The tourism activity (2 Gites, 6 B&B and the reception area, Spa and pool area) have been recently created and are totally renovated with top quality materials such as oak, marble. All those accommodations have a very high standard, offering the comfort of a •••• Hotel. All comply with the actual required norms and are fully functional. Alarm system. The business is just about to take off.

The various empty stone buildings which could be developed into further accommodation, depending on your projects, are all sound and in rather very good structural condition.
