Property Description

Embrace a unique opportunity to own your own island, where a grand partially renovated house with over 1000m2 of already habitable space, along with an additional partly renovated house and a restored tower house beckon to be revitalized. Set upon ancient medieval foundations, surrounded by terraces and stone walls, this picturesque estate offers breathtaking views of the surrounding rooftops, a quaint town, a towering viaduct, and the tranquil waters below.
Linked to the outside world by a private bridge adorned with exquisite 400-year-old wrought iron gates, this secluded haven brims with potential. While the chateau has witnessed weddings and grand celebrations in recent years, its walls echo with the stories of Napoleon's Generals and noble French lineage from centuries past. However, it's important to note that significant renovation work lies ahead, offering a chance to restore and reimagine this historical gem to its former glory.
This property presents a challenging yet rewarding opportunity for those with a vision to restore and modernize this enchanting island retreat. With a canvas rich in history and charm, set against a backdrop of remarkable views, this estate invites the discerning buyer to breathe new life into its storied walls and create a legacy that blends the past with the promise of a vibrant future.
