CastleSaint-Just-Saint-Rambert (42)
The John Taylor Lyon agency is pleased to present this chateau, built in the 14th century, transformed in the 19th century by an Italian owner who wanted to give it the Loire chateau style. It then became a sanatorium, then the property of an English lady wishing to open a Bed and Breakfast. The estate had fallen into disrepair, but over the past 6 years, its current owners have brought it back to life.
The architecture is unique for the region, with slate roofs maintained and tended each year, and whitewashed facades. The high windows on the facades are fitted with double-glazed, burglar-proof glass and adorned with majestic hangings. The chateau and its outbuildings meet the highest standards for events, weddings, seminars, etc.
Previously unheated, the owners have installed underfloor central heating with a pellet-fired boiler. The entire estate is connected to mains drainage.
The building comprises a 3-storey château with elegant reception rooms and lounges on the first floor, plus a fully equipped kitchen; the upper floors are devoted to sleeping quarters, with 13 en-suite bedrooms.
The 4-storey, classically-styled mansion houses bedrooms and dormitories with different shower rooms. In all, the estate can accommodate 60 guests.
The ballroom, with its delicate frescoes on ceilings and walls, imitation parquet flooring, drapes, sparkling crystal chandeliers, sumptuous Venetian mirrors and vases borrowed from the Medici style, will leave no one indifferent. Access for the disabled has been created at the rear of the building. This room can accommodate over 200 guests.
The orangery features an open-plan kitchen opening onto a large living room. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.
Finally, a former pigeon house is being renovated with electricity and water connections.
The 2-hectare park has also been redeveloped, with new trees planted for greenery and beautiful fountains and wrought-iron arbors for ambiance. A three-hundred-year-old weeping beech enthroned in the middle of the park is classified as a remarkable tree. The fountains are fed by natural springs. The estate is surrounded by a stone wall.
The estate also includes a riding arena and a huge tarmac parking lot.
