Probably one of the most beautiful chateau in northern France, this magnificent building is located near Avesnes sur Helpe, in the heart of the Avesnois Regional Park, a few kilometers from Belgium and less than an hour from Lille and Brussels.
The first traces of its eventful history date back to the 12th century, but it was around 1710 that the architect of the King's Buildings, Chevalier Pierre Bady, Lord of Aymerie, built the modern version.
Heavily damaged and partially abandoned after the Revolutionary Wars, it was restored in the 19th century by its then owner, the Marquise de Nédonchel, who added an English-style park and made it her country residence.
Today, remarkably restored and set in the middle of an estate of over 18 hectares consisting of woods, meadows, and ponds, it offers its character and charm to lovers of peace, nature, and space.
With a living area of 2,000 m², the main body of the chateau is spread over three floors and a large basement, all served by a lift.
The ground floor is dedicated to welcoming guests and entertaining, with its entrance hall, large dining room, veranda-living room, library, piano room, billiard room, and club-style lounge bar. The kitchens, the breakfast room or everyday dining room, the pantry, the wine cellar, and the technical rooms are located in the basement.
The first floor is divided into four independent suites, each comprising a bedroom, bathroom, and small living room, as well as a children's suite, all arranged around a large central hallway.
The second floor consists of the current owners' apartments, which open onto open-plan living areas with high ceilings, and also includes a gym, a jacuzzi, and a sauna.
Outside, outbuildings and an old farmhouse offer plenty of space for conversion, as well as stables, several workshops, and a garage for storing classic cars, completing the property. The grounds in front of the chateau feature a helicopter landing pad.
In conclusion, this chateau, listed as a Historic Monument, is much more than a residence; it is a way of life, an invitation to luxury and tranquility, at the crossroads of France and Belgium. A unique place where prestige, comfort, and serenity come together, ideal for an exceptional private residence, a high-end hotel project, or prestigious events.
