Jon and Carmen
This is no ordinary chateau – its tower was built in about 980 AD to protect the Lot river from marauders. The pirates turned into poachers and took over the tower and in 1450 (ish) added what is referred to as the ‘Pirates’ wing into the ground. Now Jon and Carmen are restoring it to it’s former glory!
Ash, Terry & Tracy
The Château embodies everything they had envisioned during their search for properties in France. From its grandeur to its character and charm, it fulfilled their desires and surpassed their expectations. As the centerpiece of their new life, it symbolises the beginning of their journey towards their dream
lifestyle in France.
Chris and Jolyon
Chris and Jolyon met when they used to work for the Foreign Office in 2008. Since they were kids, they both separately always dreamed of owning a Château, but never thought their dream could become a reality.
Julia and Paul
The Chateau is fortunate enough to still hold some of its original artwork. There is a huge 18th Century Directoire oil canvas on the wall behind the sweeping staircase which would have been incredibly fashionable during the 1790’s. They are looking forward to ensuring the painting is retained and protected to the highest standard.
Trish
Trish moved to Paris from America in 2008 for work and after more than a decade in the city, she was ready for a change. The first COVID lockdown was the push she needed to sell her small Parisian apartment and find a house in the suburbs.
Debbie, Paul, Aaron, Harriet & Hannah
Château de la Boutiniére, is 5 minutes’ drive from the picturesque village of Saint Pierre de Maillé. The River Gartemps runs through the centre of the village, so you can buy coffee and croissant from the local boulangerie and enjoy it whilst sitting next to the river, overlooking the weir and of the old watermill.
Christina and Sassan
After moving from the States (Christina) and Iran (Sassan) to the UK, it was a longtime dream for the couple to relocate to Europe. After reading a lot of travel novels and taking many trips across the channel, the couple decided that buying a chateau in France would be an amazing opportunity.
Nick and Nicole
Nick is half-French and Nicole is Swedish by origin. One of the reasons for moving is for a lifestyle change. They’re looking forward to moving away from the city and going back to nature. One of the plans they have for the Château is to create amazing experiences for people to reconnect with themselves and go back to their roots.
Philip and Angelina
Having grown up in Cornwall Philip eventually moved to London, working in property, where he met Angelina and they got engaged. After deciding London was no more, they started looking for somewhere to live while trying to find a wedding venue.
