castles for sale Center, France (page 2)

Situated between Issoudun and Châteauroux, this former fortified castle dating from the 9th and 10th centuries was saved in extremis from an advanced state of disrepair by its current owner. A witness to French history, of which only around 400 sqm of the original building remains today, the castle comprises part of the main building and its staircase tower. It was remodeled in the 15th and 19th centuries. The current owner has re-roofed and consolidated the castle. As a result, the castle has regained much of its former splendor. The courtyard is occupied by a former farmhouse that has been converted and renovated into a 100 sqm dwelling house and a 60 sqm apartment. The park features a pond, orchard and vegetable garden. It is surrounded on one side by a river, and on the other by a diversion from it. Although the main structure is in good condition, restoration work is still required, particularly inside the castle. However, with its unique architecture, magnificent setting and privileged location, the castle presents a rare and unique opportunity for any buyer wishing to own a historic property and restore it with care. The potential of this château is exceptional and its charm unparalleled.
