Located only 1 hour 10 minutes from Paris, this magnificent 19th century waterfront mansion sits discreetly alongside its hanging English garden overlooking the Yonne valley. The natural grounds present a remarkable heritage of many hundred-year-old trees, conferring on the site a sense of majesty and serenity. Pierre de Gondi Cardinal de Retz donated the site to the Capuchins in 1608; the convent was destroyed in 1791, and a wealthy Parisian built this south-facing residence in 1838, in accordance with the architectural tastes of the day in the capital. The pure lines of its windows project us into the surrounding countryside. The harmonious interior architecture, the ground floor reception rooms, the panoramic views and the pastel colors bring every flicker of light to life. Its elevator, its bathrooms and its energy performance make it the ideal main residence or holiday home. Thanks to its two levels of reception rooms at garden level and its potential for extension, the property could also be developed for business use (tourism or otherwise). Located in Burgundy, on the outskirts of Puisaye and the Othe forest, it presents delightful rural surroundings that are perfectly conducive to relaxation. A sumptuous property that will delight all lovers of hunting, sport, nature and swimming. View overlooking the valley. 10 minutes from Roncemay Golf Club.

A chateau with an old farm complex nestled in a refined country estate covering six hectares, an hour and a half from Paris. The fief was established in 1589 by the Harlay de Champvallon family, who won renown in the court of King Louis XIV of France. The chateau was renovated to a considerable extent later, in the eighteenth century, when it belonged to the Saint-Simon family. The estate covers around six hectares. It is tucked away in woods. A small river edges it. A little country road and a lane lined with lime trees leads up to the property’s gates. Once you have gone through the wrought-iron gates and crossed the balustrade bridge that straddles the moat, you reach a grassy courtyard. From this open space, you can admire the rectangular chateau flanked with two pavilions that are capped with mansard roofs. On the right, a complex of service outhouses, crowned with a roof lantern and clock, completes this collection of fine buildings. This built heritage is surrounded by a dry moat, gardens and woods of age-old trees. From the courtyard, a path lined with brick columns and hedges trimmed in perfectly straight lines leads to the outbuildings and, further on, to a secondary entrance gate.

This very peaceful late 18th century chateau was progressively remodelled until the 20th century to comprise today a rectangular main building flanked by two Mansart-style pavilions. Featuring freestone facades, slate-tiled roofs and dormer windows, the main building offers about 500 sqm of living space including spacious panelled ground-floor living and reception rooms, 1st floor suites, and a top floor comprising a compact studio apartment, further bedrooms and a laundry room. The pavilions, one of which is fitted and self-contained, each offer about 150 sqm of living space. An extensive annex in the 6 hectares of wooded landscaped grounds includes former stables, a tack-room, a clock-tower, former staff apartments and magnificent vaulted cellars. Partially restored to create self-contained accommodation as well as showers and cloakrooms for the swimming pool set to the rear, this offers great further potential for conversion. With a tennis court.

This castle and its wildlife park are an ode to history and nature.

A neo-Palladian chateau with outhouses, set in nine hectares of lawns and woods near Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and 35 kilometres from the French capital. Railings painted bottle green form a concave shape that is centred upon a wrought-iron gate leading into the property, where a remarkable neoclassical chateau built in 1846 stands proudly. A vast lush lawn extends immediately beyond the gate. The chateau lies further on. Straight to the right of the wrought-iron gate there is a pedestrian gate in the same style as the main gate and a caretaker’s lodge made of brick and rubble stone. The chateau’s design is neo-Palladian. The magnificent edifice has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. The building is rectangular and made of dressed stone. All its elevations are coated with white rendering that has a slightly pink tint. A raised terrace and a series of evenly spaced columns form a portico at the top of four front steps. This portico leads to the chateau’s main entrance door. Four majestic Doric columns feature in this tetrastyle portico. A terrace lies above their capitals. This terrace is edged with an architrave and a finely crafted balustrade. Along the facade, 11 bays per floor offer sweeping views of the beautiful grounds in front of the chateau. The window ledges and their corbels are made of dressed stone. The windows are fitted with shutters, the pale blue tone of which brings out the edifice’s hues. A neoclassical pediment with three windows rises up in the middle of the facade, on the chateau’s top floor. A long row of Greek dentils underline the entablature, adding a light touch of elegance to the grand edifice. Dormers and skylights neatly punctuate the roof. The rear elevation has an architectural design that is similar to the facade. But here a distyle portico marks the entrance where a tetrastyle portico adorns the front. The chateau’s hipped slate roof is in perfect condition. Red-brick chimney stacks rise up from it. Beyond the chateau there is an annexe that looks like a grand country house. Work was carried out on the property in the late 19th century. During this phase, a farmhouse, an outbuilding and a dovecote were added in the property’s north-east corner. An outer wall encloses most of the grounds, where vast lush lawns extend, edged by broad-leaved trees. Archaeological remains may be buried beneath these grounds. The property is remarkably peaceful and soothing. Tranquillity reigns here.

A chateau dating back to the 16th and 18th centuries with a swimming pool, nestled in grounds that cover two hectares in France’s Champagne region. The chateau was used as a country house in the 18th century. It was once the centre of the Saron fiefdom – from which the Bochart de Champigny lineage derived its family name from 1630 onwards. From the 17th century, it was a site of astronomical observations by Jean Bochart de Saron and Pierre Gassendi and, in the 18th century, by Jean-Baptiste-Gaspard Bochart de Saron, Roger Joseph Boscovich and Charles Messier. The archives of the French Academy of Sciences mention the chateau as a place used to observe the transit of Venus across the Sun on 3 June 1769, to determine the path of Uranus in 1781, and to observe comets. The chateau is surrounded by walled grounds that cover two hectares. The grounds include a vegetable patch and are dotted with age-old trees, including a 300-year-old plane tree and 200-year-old box and linden trees. A main court extends in front of the chateau, as does the garden, which an imposing wrought-iron gate separates from the village. A towpath along the River Aube demarcates the property’s lower section. Behind the edifice, a slope leads down to a pond. An outdoor swimming pool and a small greenhouse are hidden behind a large neighbouring 16th-century church and cannot be seen from the chateau.

Tucked in the Sologne region, famous for its natural forests and lakes, close to the wine lands of Sancerre, we present this superbly preserved château dating from the 15th century, a family property in the heart of a peaceful old village with small shops and a small church. The estate benefits from three points of access with intercoms, including a tree-lined driveway leading to the impeccable Louis XIII style courtyard. The beautiful façades provide varying frontages: a robust quadrangular tower with trellis patterned brickwork, an ornate pepper pot tower, a cylindrical tower with conical roof, and various elevations pierced with numerous glazed openings, arranged to maximize light penetration. Edged with dry moats, the château rises in the middle of a landscaped romantic wooded park, entirely enclosed and bordered by a sleepy canal at the bottom of the hill. Dominating the vast lawn, a monumental tri-centenary Lebanese cedar tree harmoniously echoes the extensive scale of the château. A seperate French landscaped garden is set out between the remarkable vegetable garden, flower beds and river-side path, revealing the different facades of the building as one advances along the promenade. The château consists of a central volume framed by two asymmetrical wings, including an open-air gallery, with three floor-levels over the cellar. One enters on the ground level through a transversal vestibule with a staircase to the left. A first reception room leads towards a historic dining room with its opulent sixteenth-century Flanders leather wall screens - extremely rare - decorated with pewter and painted in relief. Also on this level : a regency-style library with sumptuous carved wood paneling, a smoking room, and other reception rooms overlook the sunny south-facing terrace. Upstairs, the staircase opens onto a gallery serving six bedrooms with views overlooking the river, four bathrooms and a storage wing. The second floor, lit by several ornate dormer windows, offers a further series of bedrooms and bathrooms. The attic level is kept clear : a series of open spaces maintained in perfect condition. The traditional timber frame is renovated natural slate fixed with stainless steel and interrupted with charming dormer windows. The cellar level covers an original layout including an extraordinary ancient ice room (with interesting transformation potential), used formerly to preserve the hunt of the estate. Elsewhere in the basement there are other spaces : a wine cellar, a central-heating boiler and new large-capacity water heater to service the château. The 17-hectare estate is surrounded by various brick pavilions, including the caretaker's house 150 m², vast stables and the old bovine shelter with its Philibert Delorme roof, garages, as well as an elegant 350m² guest house with swimming pool and private garden. Modular spaces for events are equipped with lighting, toilets and food preparation space (conforming to professional standards). Ideal for weddings (with private path to the village church at 200m), rallies, seminars, film shoots. Possibility to open the castle to the public for guided tours of historical rooms, with seasonal accommodation for a guide and boutique space at the visitors' entrance to the estate. Listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments of France, the exceptional architecture of this château, its memorable proportions, French-beamed ceilings, large open fireplaces, parquet floors, woodwork and natural light all bring to life this cherished pearl of Louis XIII architecture. It is a rare and authentic property which inspires history and heritage enthusiasts. Renovation work up to date and in perfect condition. There is no vis-à-vis or nuisance.
