iad France - Fabien Moreau ( ) offers you: Château de Saron-sur-Aube: Elegance and History in the Heart of Champagne
Description:
Dive into history with this magnificent 16th-century castle, located in Saron-sur-Aube, in the heart of the Marne. Former lordship of the Bochart de Champigny, this property is a testament to French astronomy of the 17th and 18th centuries, having hosted figures such as Jean Bochart de Saron and Charles Messier. Mentioned in the archives of the Academy of Sciences, this site has witnessed major astronomical discoveries, such as the observation of the transit of Venus in 1769 and the determination of the trajectory of Uranus in 1781.
The castle is surrounded by a walled park of 2 hectares, adorned with centenary trees, linden trees, and bicentennial boxwoods, as well as a majestic three-hundred-year-old plane tree. An entrance courtyard and a garden with wrought iron gates open onto the village. The gently sloping park includes a body of water, an outdoor swimming pool, and a small greenhouse, offering a picturesque and soothing perspective.
Architecture and Interior:
Built in 1560 with wings added in 1750, the castle features homogeneous 18th-century architecture. Facing south, it extends over four levels and has Mansard roofs covered with slate. The façades are adorned with stone and brick chain ornamentation framing tall windows with small panes.
- Ground floor: The main entrance opens onto a vast hall with Versailles parquet and an oak grand staircase. The large south-facing living room offers breathtaking views of the park and the pond. Period woodwork, ornamental fireplaces with trumeau mirrors, and flooring tiled with cabochon or Versailles parquet adorn the rooms.
- First floor: A large landing leads to several bedrooms with refined woodwork, marble fireplaces, and 18th-century windows. A modernized Empire-style bathroom and additional bedrooms with English-style parquet offer luxurious comfort.
- Second floor: The converted attic includes four simple yet elegant bedrooms, created from the wood of a noble sycamore tree. Additional free-use rooms and a multipurpose room complete this level.
- Cellars: The vaulted cellars from the 16th century add undeniable historical charm.
Park and Exteriors:
The gently sloping park houses a pond, an orchard, and a vegetable garden. A heated outdoor pool and a small greenhouse are located to the west, sheltered by the imposing neighboring church.
This champagne castle offers a perfect combination of three centuries of history, with a predominance of the 18th century. The sober and elegant interiors make it a comfortable family home, both spacious and intimate. The historic winter garden is ideal for an artist's studio or friendly events. Authentic and refined, this property is a unique opportunity in the heart of the Champagne wine region.
