Ref.3982 : French castle for sale at 50 km from Limoges. About fifty kilometers east of Limoges and not far from the regional natural park of Millevaches, the lake of Vassivière, Aubusson (a territory of excellent know-how, classified as a Unesco cultural heritage site) is this charming castle built in the middle of a particularly preserved nature. Villages such as Eymoutier, Bourganeuf and Peyrat, the castle, offer all amenities within a few dozen minutes. The A 20 freeway is quickly accessible, the international airport of Limoges is just over an hour away by car. The chateau, located in the middle of 3 hectares of its wooded park, has 3 habitable levels with a total surface of 544 sqm. A basement is present under the whole building. On the first floor, we find a vast hall crossing the chateau. The light penetrates generously whatever the season with a great softness thanks to the balcony overhanging the main entrance, avoiding a too great brightness and also thanks to the stained glasses located on the opposite facade. On the right side, there is a large living room with fireplace, a small more intimate living room and an office, and on the left side, a large dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. A service entrance also gives access to the hall and the kitchen. The circulation is thus made more fluid. This first level also has a small office and a dining area in the two towers at the ends of the main facade of the castle, adding a lot of charm to the whole. The floors are tiled with large tiles for the hall and the kitchen, while the other rooms have magnificent oak herringbone parquet floors. The ceilings have plaster cornices all around. Woodwork, an overmantel above one of the fireplaces, valances, and silk curtains bring refinement and comfort to the place. On the second floor, accessible by a wide staircase, 4 bedrooms have been fitted out, each with its own bathroom. Two of them were created in the towers, which allowed for additional volume in the rooms to integrate sofas or armchairs, creating a living room space. A large dressing room adjoins one of the two large bedrooms overlooking the main façade. The second floor offers in turn 4 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms. The central corridor makes it easy to move around, which also improves the acoustics of this floor dedicated to rest. The rooms are attic but remain high, the slate roof allowing it by its size and its slope. Jacobines provide a soft light that enhances the layout and the careful decoration. The basement, with a surface area of approximately 215sqm, represents the entirety of the castle's floor space. One can see the size of the stone blocks that make up the structure. Large openings allow light to enter certain rooms. We find a cellar, a laundry room, a boiler room, a large room with stone slabs and a fireplace, probably an old kitchen. In total eleven useful spaces. We also find the base of the two towers as storage rooms. A cottage accessible by a gravel driveway allowing access by car or from the chateau by crossing through boxwood lined paths is located in the upper part of the park. On the first floor, there is a large garage that can accommodate 4 cars, a storage area of about sixty square meters that can be transformed into a dwelling or a workshop, with heights of about four meters. The first floor, accessible by a staircase, leads to a small, completely renovated apartment that can be used as a janitor's house. We find there, a vast living room / bedroom, a kitchen and a shower-room. The heating is electric here. The opposite part of an equivalent surface awaits only the creativity of the new purchaser to be arranged! The roof of the cottage, of equivalent quality to that of the castle, has also been redone. The structure composed of stones bound with mortar is very well preserved. The enclosed grounds with trees cover an area of about 7.41 acres (3 hectares) and are mostly flat, making it easy to move around. A slight slope, a few dozen meters in front of the main facade, allows to see in the distance, the castle being in a certain way positioned in high point. Centuries-old trees such as oaks, beeches, hornbeams, cypresses, yews... bring shade and serenity to the place. The garden is partly an English garden, and partly, especially in view of the paths limited by box trees planted geometrically around the pond, a model of French garden. A successful mix! It should be noted that the boxwoods, thanks to the regular care they receive, are free of moths!
