If any chateau fulfils the fairytale ideal of what such a building should look like, it is this chateau. This magnificent residence once belonged to an adviser to Napoleon III, and dates from the late 1800s. Built in the remarkably symmetrical and graceful style of that era, the chateau features magnificent staircases, reception halls with high-ceilings and some 50 rooms, including an impressive oak library and an exquisite chapel. The chateau is located in pretty countryside in south west France, and is situated on an elevated swathe of sweeping green lawn that runs between rich woods edged by ponds and lakes. The land encompasses some 36 hectares in total, and also features a number of two-story chalet-style outbuildings (old stables) in a clearing in the woods beyond the chateau. With numerous outbuildings and the magnificent four-story main building, the chateau has truly fantastic development potential. Its incredible elegance and location; securely sheltered, yet near a high-speed TGV connection; would make it a perfect luxury holiday destination: one that offers exclusive hotel accommodation along with a dedicated schedule of culinary, cultural or well-being activities. The estate is also extremely suitable to be turned into a VIP residential hideaway, or a venue for high-level international meetings and events which require maximum comfort, privacy and security.
