Property Description

Equestrian courtyard property (approx. 145m² of living space - more convertible) dating from the early 18th century. In a very pretty and tranquil country setting on the edge of a forest and close to the châteaux of the Loire Valley between Châtellerault and Richelieu. 12.65ha of land, 11ha of which is year round pasture.
Previously used for breeding thoroughbred racehorses, but more recently for general equestrian use. 7 good sized indoor horse boxes with easy access to paddocks, 2 field shelters. 3.5km post fencing, of which 2.5km rail, and 1km electric tape. 2km mesh around most of perimeter.
Miles of excellent hacking from the property along sandy bridleways and across the forest. The sandy ground would allow creation of an all-weather gallop and outdoor arena. Outbuildings with stables and stocking areas for hay and feed. Lake with cabin and decking.
Currently 2 bedrooms – the first floor leads to loft space with good head height and concrete floors and is ready for conversion. All work which has been done is to a high standard.
