This wonderful and romantic Chateau is situated in the middle of 12 hectares of woodland and pastures. The entrance is everything one would expect: a monumental gate and a drive up to a covered area to unpack and get out of your 'carriage'.
The garden has got old trees and meadows to wander around in. The orchard is a little bit further away and has got a view over the lake on the other side of the castle.
The woodlands around make the property very private. Inside the castle a large part of the floor is in pise: the traditional (and sustainable. ) stones for creating a long lasting floor. This is in the hall, the dining room and the kitchen, all to the left of the entrance. The rest of the floors are made of wooden floorboards.
To the right of the entrance is the library (with French doors), the music room and the office in the tower. Also downstairs is a bedroom with en suite, a utility room (ironing, washing, storage of bed linen), a second utility with professional dishwashers and storage, a staircase and toilets for the guests.
There are seven generous bedrooms on the first floor of which six have en suite bathrooms and one with a bathroom on the corridor. There is also a family bathroom.
The second floor can be used but will need an update: some painting and minor improvements. This floor is used to house more guests if the Chateau is rented for weddings or larger groups (conferences, team meetings etc).
Two of the three gites can accommodate families and there is a gite for a couple.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
