An Elegant & Quintessentially French Chateau on 2.2HA with Pool & Outbuildings.

This elegant and quintessentially French Chateau is a rare find. Dating back to the late nineteenth century, the classic architecture flanked by two turreted round towers is typical of French design in the twilight of the Second Empire.

The Chateau sits at the end of a long drive, surrounded by 2.2HA of private grounds. The Estate includes an attractive two story barn, a 5m x 11m swimming pool and a charming 'cottage' inspired pool house with summer kitchen.

Most of the period features in this enormously appealing Chateau have remained looked after and untouched, offering an incredible palette to any interior design enthusiast seeking to revive an authentic French property.

Set over four floors, the Chateau comprises five reception rooms and eight bedrooms. Whilst some interior refreshment should be envisaged, the property is currently used and cherished as a substantial family home. The main roof was revised in June 2022, with new zinc gutters added at this point. The liner of the swimming pool was replaced in 2010.

This picture book Chateau with its elegant proportions and beautifully light rooms is ideally situated within walking distance of all amenities in the highly desirable market town of Saint Sever, just 15 minutes from the prefecture town of Mont de Marsan; approximately one hour from the cosmopolitan coastal resorts of Les Landes and within 2 hours drive of the ski slopes of the Pyrenees mountains; this chateau is ideally placed to suit either a main residence or a holiday home with summer and winter activities close by or to create a successful hospitality project.
