Built in 1680 during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, this authentic 17th-century French château is set within more than three hectares of private grounds in the heart of the Chalosse countryside. Reached by a long private drive with no through roads, the property offers exceptional peace, privacy and security.
Rich in period character, the château retains many original architectural features, including hand-carved stone fireplaces, polished chestnut panelling, elegant staircases and beautifully proportioned reception rooms filled with natural light and countryside views. Historic details such as a secret priest's hole, former chapel and original Napoleonic graffiti add to the unique charm and heritage of the estate.
Lovingly maintained by the same aristocratic family from 1680 until 2002, the château has since undergone extensive renovation and sympathetic modernisation, including oil-fired central heating, updated electrics and plumbing, and Fibre Optic Internet, combining historic authenticity with modern comfort.
The accommodation is generous and flexible, comprising five reception rooms, eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, three en-suite shower rooms, utility and pantry areas, together with a detached two-bedroom cottage. Additional outbuildings include a substantial two-storey barn, hangar, bread oven and pool house.
The grounds feature a covered dining terrace, 10m x 5m saltwater swimming pool, vegetable garden, wooded valley, kiosk and two wells supplied by natural spring water.
Ideally suited as either an elegant private residence or a hospitality and retreat business opportunity, the property enjoys an excellent location in southwest France. The beaches of Les Landes are approximately one hour away, while the Pyrénées ski resorts can be reached within 90 minutes. The medieval town of Saint-Sever, home to its UNESCO-listed Abbey, is just 10 minutes away, with Hagetmau, Eugénie-les-Bains, Pau, Biarritz and Bordeaux all within easy reach.
A rare opportunity to acquire a quintessential French château of history, character and authenticity in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt regions of France.
