General & History
This six bedroom 19th Château is idyllically set in 138 acres of park and woodland and has been opulently furnished, in keeping with its grandeur. Built and decorated in the Italian Renaissance style, Château du Lac abounds with marble fireplaces, gilt mirrors and original hand-painted ceilings which are complemented throughout by delightful use of light and space. Tall ceilings, parquet floors and elegant, three metre high double doors opening onto balustraded terraces bestow a sense of timeless elegance. The Château and its serene setting provide a sanctuary for those who wish to refresh themselves. It has always been many things to many people: a lover's gift, a family home, a place of refuge for children during World War II.
The Château is set in 138 acres of beautiful park and unspoilt woods, with a lake and 100 metres frontage onto the River Vienne. In the arboretum you will find magnificent Cedars from the Atlas Mountains, glorious copper beeches and a stately flowering Tulip tree. The park has several 'watering points', granite benches where you can sit and enjoy the ambiance. The two acre lake is stocked with fish and there is abundant wildlife in the woods. Deer, boar, heron, falcon, pine martin and many other creatures find refuge among the woods and waterways of Les Villettes. If you are feeling adventurous there are numerous trails through the woods to be explored, or for the more energetic, the park has a private tennis court and there is an international 18 hole golf course next door.
