If ‘red’ stands for ‘stop, pay attention’ then this magnificent property is a veritable Moulin Rouge. It would make an extravagant, luxurious family home, or an idyllic hotel. Situated in the midst of two hectares of formal grounds, there is a private stretch of river, swimming pool, self-contained gîte, crazy golf course, restored mill rooms set out as a private museum…and the main house even contains secret passages!
The principal house has two large reception rooms, both with original fireplaces, a traditional kitchen and a games room. The original mill room is enormous, with a magnificent fireplace and a galleried mezzanine. On the first and second floors there are nine bedrooms, all individually styled, and six bath/shower rooms, most with Moroccan tiles.
The grounds include a large pool, separate gîte, crazy golf course, wooden bridge and badminton court. There are uninterrupted views of open countryside.
The nearby village of Longré, a short stroll away, has a communal tennis court, while Ruffec (a short drive away) has hypermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants, a traditional market and TGV station with regular trains to Paris (handy for Eurostar to London Waterloo). © |
