This discreetly luxurious property offers the benefits of living in a French chateau without the upkeep costs typically associated with such estates.
Fully modernised and renovated to a high standard, the interiors feature beautiful exposed stone walls, blending old-world charm with contemporary elegance.
With a spacious and sunny layout of approximately 108 m2, the main living space of 60 m2 boasts Wi-Fi controlled underfloor heating.
The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space is south-facing, opening to the terrace, making the most of the sunshine and creating a bright and welcoming environment.
The versatile living spaces include an entrance room, two bedrooms, one bathroom, an open-plan office space, and a kitchen/living/dining area.
The second bedroom, currently used as a studio, offers additional flexibility.
With 1.5 meter thick stone walls, the property ensures cool interiors in summer and warmth in winter, complemented by double glazing and insulated external walls and attic.
A strong VDSL Internet connection makes it suitable for home or remote working, with fibre optic arriving in the near future (already close-by).
Although the area is very safe, for security and peace of mind, the property is equipped with a comprehensive CCTV and security system.
Expansive gardens of 5600 m2 include a patch perfect for growing your own vegetables, and mature fruit trees, creating a lush, productive outdoor space.
The property is accessed by a private gated 90-metre-long driveway, which enhances your privacy, with tall stone walls at the front.
The property features a versatile 40 m2 outbuilding divided into a spacious 24 m2 room currently used as a workshop (planning permission was granted to add a garage door), a Finnish sauna, and two additional storage rooms.
This building has potential for conversion into a gîte or a garage.
Additionally, there is a separate shed.
The property can be left fully furnished, allowing you to enjoy your new home immediately.
The house has a welcoming atmosphere and friendly neighbours who own the remainder of the chateau next-door.
The property is conveniently located 3km (3 minutes drive) from L?Isle Jourdain, a thriving small town on the banks of the Vienne river with local shops, a supermarket, restaurants, and an old railway line perfect for walking and cycling.
There are also two reservoirs, ideal for angling, kayaking, and zip-lining, along with stunning scenery and a wide range of regional tourist amenities.
Poitiers and Limoges airports are just an hour's drive away, and Bordeaux Airport is 2oe hours away.
The TGV from Poitiers to Paris takes as little as 1 hour and 25 minutes, making this an ideal choice for a permanent residence or a holiday home.
Chateau du Vigeant is steeped in history, bearing the noble legacy of the Poussart family.
François Poussart, the original Seigneur du Fors et Baron du Vigean connected their lineage with prominent figures of the era, including the Duchess of Aiguillon and Prince Condé.
The chateau witnessed the valor of François-Louis-Jules Poussart, who served under Louis II de Bourbon-Condé and tragically lost his life in 1663.
The legacy was carried forward by Armand-Jean Poussart, Marquis du Vigeant, who made the chateau his home from 1686 until 1731.
This residence not only offers a luxurious living experience but also a chance to be part of a storied past.
