4 bedroom Villa in Saint-Gaultier, Centre, France : ref 5238541

Built in the 18th/19th centuries around an enclosed stone

courtyard, this restored Loire farmhouse with private pool was the

original home farm of the neighbouring chateau, set in the heart of

the Brenne regional park in deepest rural France. The house itself

is known locally as ‘the hunting ground of the buzzard’, indicative

of the wealth of wildlife in this area.It has been lovingly

restored, retaining many original features to create a traditional

farmhouse ambience with up-to-the-minute facilities.This Loire

farmhouse is located in the south of Indre, just north of Limousin;

this region is internationally renowned for bird watching with more

than 1000 lakes. Wild game abounds from red and roe deer, to wild

boar. The picturesque old country towns of Argenton-sur-Creuse and

Le Blanc lie to the east and west of the property and offer a

variety of shops and restaurants. Just 10 miles away is the ‘

Maison du Parc’ at Le Bouchet near Rosney. The dramatic river

Creuse was a disputed border between the English and French during

the 100 Years War, thus many castles and places of historical

interest are to be found along its banks. Nowadays the river is

used for the more leisurely pursuits of canoeing or horseriding!

Chateauroux is 25 miles away whilst Poitiers is only an hour’s

drive from this restored Loire farmhouse with private pool.
