Information and terms and conditions available on request. In Viriat, just a few minutes from Bourg-en-Bresse, this property is nestled within one of the region's most beautiful wooded parks. Over the centuries, this former 17th-century farmhouse has evolved into a charming château with exceptional spaciousness, now extended by a contemporary orangery that opens wide onto the landscape. With over 700 m² of living space, several double-height living rooms, eight bedrooms, and vast reception areas, the estate offers a lifestyle centered on light, nature, and family gatherings. A swimming pool, pond, tennis court, terraces, and outbuildings enhance this sense of space and openness within more than four acres of landscaped grounds. A REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY The park is one of the property's most distinctive features. Upon entering, the view opens up to centuries-old trees, expansive lawns, and rare species planted over time by a former owner who was a botanist. Giant sequoias, Atlas cedars, remarkable maples, magnolias, and linden trees compose a living landscape that evolves with the seasons. The estate offers a rare sense of depth and tranquility while remaining in close proximity to Bourg-en-Bresse and major thoroughfares. Surrounding the château, the stone terraces, pond, fountain, swimming pool, and tennis court naturally extend the living spaces outward. Here, the park does not merely accompany the residence?it becomes its very soul. SPACIOUS ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT With over 700 m² of living space spread across three levels, the château features particularly generous rooms while maintaining a seamless flow of movement. The living rooms follow one another in a warm atmosphere where light highlights the historic materials: stone, wood paneling, exposed beams, and antique flagstone and hardwood floors. Each era has left its mark with consistency. Several extensions inspired by the architecture of 18th- and 19th-century châteaux were added to the original 17th-century farmhouse before a contemporary orangery created a spectacular opening onto the park. The large reception rooms alternate with more intimate spaces dedicated to reading, relaxation, or family life. Eight bedrooms and several suites provide a discreet and elegant setting to welcome family and guests. A PROPERTY FOR ENTERTAINING, GATHERING, AND PASSING ON The estate strikes a rare balance between grandeur and the simple pleasures of life. The spacious layout allows for large family gatherings, extended stays, or weekend entertaining without ever losing the property's intimacy. The outbuildings?including the former stable converted into a garage and wine cellar?as well as the spaces still available for conversion offer various possibilities for future development, whether for hosting guests or as a vacation home. The proximity to the A40 highway, the Bourg-en-Bresse TGV station, and connections to Lyon or Geneva further enhances this convenience, making it ideal for both a primary and secondary residence. Yet the château retains that precious sense of being in a world of its own?a place deeply imbued with trees, the seasons, and the passage of time. AGENCY'S OPINION What immediately strikes one here is the balance between the château's scale and the expanse of the grounds. Rarely does a property manage to offer so much space while maintaining such a gentle and natural atmosphere. The trees, the light, and the views give the estate a quiet, almost timeless presence, just minutes from the city. BEHIND THE CENTURY-OLD TREES, A PROPERTY OF RARE PROPORTIONS
