EXCLUSIVE
Set in the heart of the unspoiled Berry countryside, in a setting of rare tranquility, lies a remarkable 24-hectare estate dominated by a former 17th-century château built upon the foundations of a medieval stronghold.
Accessible from the village center and its elegant church, the property exemplifieswith rare authenticitythe transition from defensive fortress to stately country residence. Arranged around a vast main courtyard, the complex comprises two residential wings flanked by towers; each offers a footprint of approximately 250 m² and is topped by spacious attics illuminated by majestic Louis XIII-style windows featuring triangular pediments.
One of the wings remains habitable, featuring reception rooms, bedrooms, a kitchen, and bathrooms. However, the entire property requires significant renovation, offering the future owner the opportunity to restore this historic residence to its former glory.
A true heritage gem, a remarkable 15th-century postern gate retains its conical, tile-covered roof, crowned by an elegant hexagonal turret. It still features its shingle-clad wooden hoardingsa rare example of late medieval castle architecture and undoubtedly one of the finest surviving vestiges in the Berry region.
A second, more intimate courtyard provides access to numerous outbuildings: storerooms, garages, workshops, and former stables, as well as a vast barn boasting spectacular proportions and soaring roof timbers.
The estate spans nearly 24 hectares, comprising an English-style park, meadows, orchards, woodlands, and groves, all crisscrossed by walking paths. A pond covering over six hectares completes this exceptional property, lending the setting a truly enchanting atmosphere. This rare property will appeal to heritage enthusiasts seeking a major project within a remarkable natural setting, where history, architecture, and the poetic atmosphere of the place blend harmoniously.

Castle Chateauroux (36)

Ref.3866 : Listed french castle for sale in the centre of France. We're in the south of the Indre département, in the Centre-Val-de-Loire region. Just 300 kilometers from Paris, this mighty château is located in the southern part of the ancient province of Berry, an inexhaustible source of inspiration for George Sand, the world's best-known French writer. On the edge of one of these small Berrichon villages, the château sits at the center of a wooded park, protected from view by curtain walls and imposing 15th-century towers. On arrival, its austere appearance is a reminder of its military origins. This impression fades, however, once you reach the main staircase on the opposite façade. The fortress, which has become a pleasure residence over the centuries, is more welcoming without losing any of its grandeur. Surrounding this exceptional property, the countryside is beautiful, authentic and peaceful. This is the Boischaut Sud region, with its hedgerows, deep forests, sunken lanes, black ponds and countless legends. The small town of La Châtre is less than a ten-minute drive away. A fair town in the Middle Ages, then a frontier town between “grande gabelle” and “petite gabelle” countries, its prosperity is reflected in the beautiful townhouses in the center of town. Today, La Châtre is a dynamic town which, by combining tourism, industry, services and local commerce, offers residents of the surrounding area all the essential amenities. The region is industrious in winter and festive in summer. Nohant, 2km away, was once the home of Georges Sand. It attracts over 30,000 visitors a year, in addition to the 10,000 music lovers who attend the renowned Chopin Festival every year. Barely 8 km away, Le Son Continue, a festival inherited from the meetings of luthiers and master ringers that long took place at our château, also attracts some 10,000 people every year. And there's more to discover... This impressive château has retained its fortress-like appearance. In the 15th century, it took the form of a keep with an inner courtyard, defended by imposing round towers at all four corners. Restoration in the 19th century resulted in the loss of the north-east tower and the two adjoining sides. Now open to the light, with its high walls and forest of roofs reaching for the sky, it is as imposing as ever. Surrounded by curtain walls and towers that tell the story of nine centuries of history, it's a true castle. The grand staircase on the east side of the house leads via a large terrace (400 sqm) to the raised first floor. This comprises a vestibule with monumental listed fireplace, billiard room, dining room with monumental fireplace, second vestibule leading to the second entrance, vast kitchen with staircase to the wine cellar and large boiler room, two wc's, laundry room, On this level alone, there is 200 sqm of living space. A double staircase leads up to the second floor, which includes a suite of three adjoining reception rooms totalling 130sqm under 5m of joist height; also a chapel and, after half a floor, an apartment comprising an anteroom, a study-library, a large bedroom with fireplace, bathroom, wc and dressing room. On the second floor, three other prestigious apartments with en-suite bathrooms, the first comprising an anteroom, a bedroom with monumental fireplace, a study and an embroidery room, the second a bedroom with monumental fireplace and en-suite bathroom, and the third a bedroom, dressing room and study with monumental fireplace. Various other rooms and passageways through walls up to 2 meters thick. Finally, in the attic, a 300sqm leisure room with two fireplaces, a games room with hearth, a map room, a bedroom with bathroom and access to the watchtower, a staff apartment with 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom. The total area is 1460 sqm. The layout, volumes and architectural features are exceptional, as are the quality of the door frames and other fittings. The careful restoration undertaken by the current owners is commendable. Hungary Point parquet floors, marble bathrooms, monumental armorial fireplaces, polychrome chapel, friezes, cleverly concealed doors and much more. It all leaves a very strong impression. Only half of the entrance châtelet remains, and the drawbridge has disappeared with it. However, the 15th-century dwelling, in the flamboyant Gothic style, is still there. It is a comfortable 6-room annex house, currently rented out as a gîte. Heating is provided by the château's own boiler. Extending from this long building are an office, tavern, stable and saddlery. At the far end, another converted tower forms the corner of the quadrangle. Upstairs, probably a former garrison dormitory with a series of monumental fireplaces. Fluids are distributed here, on standby. And here and there, you'll still find loopholes, a latrine, a stunner, a fire hydrant, for the traces of history are very present in these buildings, little transformed over the centuries. In the east tower, a 3-storey room, gunloft and spiral staircase. This complex covers a total area of 1,200 sqm, of which 300 sqm have been restored. Opposite, a very interesting 15th-century gallery, punctuated by columns with leafy capitals, partially embedded in the masonry. What was undoubtedly a rare pleasure gallery is now an agricultural building waiting to be restored to its former glory. An enclosed park of 5.80 acres (2.35 hectares), planted with large ornamental trees, probably reconstructed and laid out with paths towards the end of the 19th century. The park and surrounding walls offer complete privacy. Vegetable garden with part orchard (cherry, apple, walnut, pear).

Castle Buzançais (36)

Réf. 4661 : Monumental castellan ensemble in Berry, near a renowned sanctuary In the historic province of Berry, within the Indre département, we present an impressive castellated ensemble located at the meeting point of two distinct natural regions: the Champagne Berrichonne and the Boischaut Nord. The former is a gently undulating landscape of open plains dedicated to cereal cultivation, stretching between the Indre and Cher départements. The latter, with more pronounced relief, is characterised by woodlands and hedgerows, interspersed with streams feeding into the nearby River Indre. Paris lies 280 km to the north, and Tours less than 100 km away. Châteauroux, the local administrative centre, is under 30 km from the estate and offers all the amenities and services of a mid-sized town, including a station on the Paris–Toulouse rail line and access to the A20 motorway. For day-to-day needs, the small town of Buzançais is less than a ten-minute drive. The region also enjoys considerable appeal from a tourism perspective. The Val de l’Indre Golf Course is just 11 km away, while the Brenne Regional Nature Park—also known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes—is only slightly further afield. The European Route d’Artagnan, dedicated to equestrian tourism, passes directly by the château, which is fully equipped to accommodate both horses and riders. Most notably, the property lies just minutes from the Marian sanctuary of Pellevoisin. Following a recent decision by the Vatican and a full renovation of its facilities due for completion by 2026, the sanctuary is expected to attract a significant increase in pilgrim visitors in the coming years. The history of the château is closely linked to the Brillac, or Brilhac, family, who are believed to have acquired it through marriage around 1300. At the end of the 15th century, Charles de Brillac, Master of the Household to King Louis XII, rebuilt the old medieval fortress. The new château he had constructed is characteristic of a transitional period. It retains the appearance of a medieval castle with ostentatious military architecture (keep, machicolated towers), while its layout already reflects that of a pleasure residence. Later, from 1636 onwards, another lord of the estate, Jean Phelyppeaux, seigneur of Buzançais and Palluau, added significant outbuildings forming a U-shape around a lower courtyard. Finally, after 1830, the De Lamotte family transformed the château’s south wing into a modern three-storey residence, with floors dedicated respectively to service, reception, and family life. This is how the castle complex appears to us today. The property comprises a group of buildings where the château proper can be distinguished from the outbuildings. The château includes a listed section with a keep and two round towers with conical roofs and a machicolated walkway. The keep rises over five floors and is flanked at the corners by three watchtowers and a stair tower. The first floor is a vast hall with ribbed vaulting. The upper floors each feature a large room of around 80 m² with monumental fireplaces. The central tower, known as the Brillac tower, has four floors, the top three each containing a room of approximately 40 m², with monumental fireplaces. The last tower has two levels of bedrooms, one of which includes an antechamber and a bathroom. These three towers are connected by two galleries on two levels. On the ground floor, peristyles with flamboyant Gothic-style decoration. On the upper level, one open arcaded gallery and one enclosed gallery with monumental fireplaces. The 19th-century residence is a long, classically styled building with two main floors, flanked by towers. The ground floor includes the service areas: a large stone-paved kitchen, a vestibule with staircase and mezzanine, and various small rooms. The first floor, divided by a fine cross hallway, is a reception area with a large wood-panelled drawing room, a small salon, and a study. The top floor is an intimate living space with a library, four bedrooms, dressing rooms and antechambers, and two bathrooms. Each floor of the residence has approximately 220 sqm of living space. Outbuildings: The outbuildings offer nearly 3,000 sqm of available space, mainly grouped within a long 17th-century structure arranged in a U-shape around the lower courtyard. Built over two levels, including an attic floor, the building is roofed with traditional flat clay tiles. The attic is lit by gabled or mill-style dormer windows with triangular pediments. The various sections comprise: -A corner pavilion, roofed in slate and converted into a caretaker’s house of approximately 150 sqm of habitable space. -The so-called 'Eastern Outbuildings', featuring the entrance porch to the village and large rooms fitted out as a local history museum. -At the corner, a bread oven and a three-storey round tower with a conical roof and adjoining spiral stair turret. -The 'Northern Outbuildings', an extensive wing including: A communal kitchen for around 60 people; Five bedrooms accommodating between 1 and 11 guests, each with an individual shower room; A refectory or banquet hall; A secondary dining area known as the 'Arcade Room'; Two small kitchens; Communal WCs and showers. -A corner pavilion containing a two-room apartment awaiting conversion. The 'Western Outbuildings', housing: A central heating plant; A workshop; A tack room; Stables and storage areas. Separated from the western outbuildings by a second arched gateway leading into the estate is a 19th-century barn with large timber doors, roofed in slate and currently used for storing agricultural vehicles. Additional features on the estate include: -A mill housing a 19th-century micro hydroelectric power station. -A charming lakeside pavilion, in need of restoration. -A large timber storage barn. The estate extends over a total area of 35.7 hectares and is entirely enclosed by a perimeter wall measuring approximately 2.5 kilometres in length—an exceptional feature. The grounds are criss-crossed by paths that divide the property into several distinct zones: Ten hectares of arable land, currently under direct cultivation. A large horse paddock of just over 2 hectares, located to the rear of the western outbuildings. An enclosed field of 3.5 hectares. -A pond of slightly more than 3 hectares, complete with its own pavilion. -A reference orchard featuring several varieties of quince trees. -An avenue lined with eight apple trees. -Meadows and pastureland. The rental situation : The château currently hosts small groups for training sessions. However, the accommodation and reception capacities of the outbuildings make it entirely feasible to welcome larger groups—whether on foot, on horseback, or by coach—and even to host prestigious events in a truly majestic setting. The following parts are classified as Historic Monument : as per the 1930 decree, the three eastern towers with machicolations, along with the two wings that connect them. This property is a historic monument (allowing fiscal tax cuts if you pay taxes in France).
