8 bed château for sale

Marval, Haute-Vienne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

A spectacular gated entrance (typical of noble rural estates) opens onto an impressive courtyard, immediately setting the tone for this historic estate.

The courtyard leads to the principal residence, whose elegant façade and twin towers evoke the grandeur of a château, while the rear elevation enjoys the refined character of a manor house overlooking beautiful parkland.

The main residence offers spacious and characterful accommodation. On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a salon with open fireplace, a dining room with parquet flooring, two further salons and a kitchen featuring marble worktops. Also on this level are two bedrooms, a WC, and an additional room with the potential to be converted into a bathroom.

A magnificent stone staircase, one of the property's standout features, leads to the first floor, where four generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate WC provide ample family or guest accommodation.

A second house of 88m2 offers independent living space and comprises a charming lounge with pellet burner and traditional floor tiles, together with a kitchen, bathroom and WC. Upstairs are two further bedrooms.

The estate is further enhanced by two barns, former pig sties and an additional small outbuilding arranged over two levels, providing extensive storage, workshop or development potential (subject to the necessary permissions).

The majority of the land is adjoining the property, with a pleasant walk leading to a small lake (non-compliant).

While immediately habitable, the property requires a programme of renovation and modernisation throughout, including works to windows, insulation, heating, electrics and drainage.

Located in the beautiful Haute-Vienne countryside, less than 2 km from a charming village, this much-loved estate is ready to begin its next chapter.
