An elegant, comfortable chateau with outhouses, nestled in seven hectares of grounds in eastern France, between Lyon, Dijon and Geneva. You reach the property from a secondary road. It is hidden behind tall walls and the thick groves of its grounds. The design of these grounds drew inspiration from English-style gardens, which were in vogue at the end of the 19th century. The buildings stand around two large courtyards. The main courtyard is enclosed by two residential wings – the north wing, probably built in the 18th century, and the west wing, built in the mid-19th century – and by former farming outhouses on its south and east sides, as well as a chapel beside the entrance to the court. The second courtyard is more recent. It is enclosed by a warden’s lodge and storage buildings that are used for technical aspects of the property.
A Gallo-Roman settlement is thought to have stood here. The place was a Knights Templar commandery from the 12th century to the 16th century. Then the Knights of the Order of Malta ran the property up to the French Revolution. Over the past three centuries, only two different families have lived in the chateau. This has given it the harmonious appearance that you can admire today. The whole property has been maintained very well and is currently in a perfect state.
