Ref.4845 : In the Heart of the Berry Region, a 15th–17th C. Château with Park, Moat and Outbuildings Just three hours from Paris by motorway, southern Boischaut is a region that combines the gently rolling plains of the Paris Basin with the foothills of the Massif Central, which feature a more rugged terrain. This natural region, covering the southern parts of the Indre and Cher departments—that is, the former province of Berry—is primarily devoted to cattle farming. The landscapes here are therefore green and often dotted with hedgerows, possessing a discreet yet enduring charm. It is “Le Berry, which takes hold of you and never lets you go” as described by George Sand, a native of the region. The area is ideally situated in the centre of France, close to two major motorways: the A20 ‘L’Occitane’, linking Brussels and Paris to Toulouse on the one hand, and the A71 ‘L’Arverne’, providing access to Clermont-Ferrand and, beyond that, Montpellier from the capital. Chateaumeillant, La Châtre and Saint-Amand-Montrond, small towns full of character with a rich history, are located near the château. The first is known for its high-quality vineyards, the second lies at the heart of the ‘Pays de George Sand’, with its many events, and the third, dubbed the ‘City of Gold’ as it is France’s third-largest centre for gold jewellery production, is often associated with Noirlac Abbey, a marvel of Cistercian architecture situated nearby. Finally, for younger visitors, Sam Parc, also located in Saint-Amand Montrond, is one of the best amusement parks in the Centre region. Just a little further on, Bourges is a major city of art and history, making it a natural choice to become the European Capital of Culture in 2028. You’ll love strolling through its historic and shopping centre, between the Palais Jacques-Cœur, a masterpiece of Flamboyant Gothic architecture, and Saint-Etienne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the capital of the Berry region, Bourges is not just an open-air museum. The city lies at the heart of a vibrant economic region where the aerospace and defence industries are particularly well represented. The château is approached by way of a fixed bridge spanning the former moat, its entrance symbolically guarded by a tower. Beyond lies a splendid esplanade upon which the residence reveals itself as a classic 17th-century manor house adjoined by a remarkable medieval keep flanked by two towers, one of which contains a staircase turret. The manor itself rises over three storeys, including an attic level beneath a hipped roof clad in flat tiles and crowned with two lead finials along the ridge. At the north-eastern corner of the roof stands a purely decorative brick échauguette. The principal façades, oriented east to west, display elegant rows of windows adorned only with subtly projecting sills. On the eastern elevation, a remarkable wrought-iron and glass veranda inspired by the Art Nouveau style occupies the centre of the building. On this same façade, to the south, stands a neo-Gothic stair tower. To the north of the manor, a narrower and lower rectangular structure provides the connection between the northern tower and the keep. The northern tower, imposing in mass, rises over three levels beneath a conical roof. The keep itself is square in plan and surmounted by a pavilion roof clad in flat tiles, its ridges embellished with ornamental lead finials. At its south-western corner stands a staircase turret capped with a conical roof. Defensive openings remain visible at several points throughout the structure. Upon entering the manor house, one finds on the ground floor a through entrance hall leading, to the right, into a vast drawing room with fireplace, illuminated by windows opening onto both sides of the building. At the far end of the entrance hall lies access to the neo-Gothic stair tower, while to the left are the dining room, opening onto the veranda, and a small ancillary room serving as a secondary kitchen. Proceeding along the corridor and still to the right are a return staircase ascending to the upper floor, a lavatory, a small artist’s studio, and, beyond a few steps, a spacious kitchen with adjoining laundry room and pantry. This kitchen enjoys a terrace to the east and an exit onto the arrival esplanade to the west. The return staircase leads to the first floor, where a broad corridor gives access to four bedrooms, three with shower rooms and one with a bathroom. At approximately one-third of the corridor’s length stands a wooden staircase ascending to the attic floor, formerly used as servants’ quarters. At the second third, a landing provides access to an independent lavatory and to the neo-Gothic stair tower. Returning northwards, the corridor passes an independent lavatory featuring the remains of an archway, before narrowing as it enters the connecting building. It then opens onto a large bedroom with bathroom and continues towards the keep’s grand hall, an impressive room with generous ceiling height, illuminated to the north and south by stained-glass windows with window seats. A monumental fireplace bearing the arms of the Boissieu family, still in working order, lends great distinction to the space. A narrow passageway gives access to a charming study located within the northern tower. A short corridor then leads to the stair turret and up to the second floor of the keep, where one first encounters a long storage room, formerly the château’s fruit store, before entering a vast hall with fireplace and windows fitted with stone seats, currently used as a billiard room. The staircase continues upwards to magnificent attic spaces beneath a timber framework shaped like an inverted ship’s hull. Beneath the keep lie a former wine storehouse and a wine cellar. The outbuildings are, for the most part, grouped together in a large U-shaped complex, comprising a tack room, a shed, a stable used as a garage, a four-room flat (including three bedrooms) used as a guest house, a very large cowshed, a donkey stable and a number of small outbuildings. The property is in fairly good visible condition. In the grounds, there is a beautiful greenhouse-orangery that could be used as a reception room, in good visible condition. The grounds, covering a total area of 8.5 acres, are shaped like an isosceles triangle. The château and outbuildings are situated at the base of the triangle, whilst the park, criss-crossed by several beautiful avenues, occupies the rest. An interesting feature of the site is that the moats and water ditches form an enclosure separating an ‘inner park’ – an English-style garden, beautifully landscaped and well-maintained – from an ‘outer park’, which is more natural in character and features a pretty pond. A small bridge and a footbridge allow visitors to move from one area to the other. This layout lends the whole site a distinct romantic charm.

iad France - Marie Miqueau offers you: CHÂTEAU DE BLET / CLASSIFIED AS PICTURESQUE / 2H30 FROM PARIS / 30 MINUTES FROM BOURGES TRAIN STATION AND AIRPORT/ 30 MINUTES FROM MAGNY-COURS CIRCUIT / 40 KM FROM SANCERRE. The Cher, in the Centre-Val de Loire department, nestled against the voluptuous hills of Sancerrois, neighboring Berry and Sologne, is a green spot where the Loire River sings. Blet, a small village perched on a hill at an altitude of 180 meters, hides beneath its soil an ancient medieval fortress of which only a engraving remains and the echo of the footsteps of Richard the Lionheart walking its walls. In the 11th century, Eude de Sully built a castle on the ruins of a Roman villa. Maintained and embellished by the same family for almost 1000 years, its last form is known thanks to the Marquis de Nicolaï and his wife De Bonneval whose coat of arms adorn the entrance doors. Even if it can be glimpsed from the village, one must pass through the high gate, advance along the winding path through the trees, cross the century-old ginkgo tree to finally marvel at the unadorned elegance of this castle classified with 10 centuries of history. The ensemble of the two wings in the shape of an L and the three corner towers offers approximately 2500m2 of living space spread over five levels and composed of 72 rooms including 25 bedrooms (16 to be restored). The visit begins on the south side under the guard of the De Bonneval lions where two large glass doors open to the entrance of the castle on the ground floor: The wide stone staircase invites you to explore, but you must first follow the passage of the old outbuildings at this level to discover a space furnished as a warm living area, office, and family kitchen where modernity flirts with traditional Normandy stone. On this same level, you will find the boiler room, cellars, service rooms, and the castle’s former butcher shop. It is time to ascend through time, and thus the staircase, to discover on the first floor the heart of castle life: First, the large reception hall, a marvel of the past where light bursts forth on the magnificent wall paneling coming from the château de Bercy of which the Marquis de Nicolaï was the last owner. The grand dining room also surprises with its openings onto an imposing terrace overlooking the west side of the village and the surrounding countryside. Next, there are small and large lounges, a smoking room, a library, and an old kitchen. The small Sainte-Thérèse chapel nestled in one of the towers and adorned with coats of arms piously completes the visit of this level. With peace no longer being at war, the walls of the residence have been pierced over the years with large blown glass windows that flood the place with radiant light. Everywhere, the eye delights in the wall decor, the Venetian blonde of the floorboards, the marble fireplaces in every room, and the antique furniture left by many generations... On the second floor, the long sunny corridor serves nine carefully decorated bedrooms, of which eight have their own bathroom. Different styles are celebrated here. The last two levels of the castle bear the mark of the past, and one enjoys getting lost and traversing more than thirty rooms that testify to the vibrant life that prevailed here until the 19th century. These parts need renovation, but one can only work on their imagination to quickly restore them to their former splendor... Outside on the East side, the terrace of the honor courtyard overlooks the 18 hectares of the estate arranged in the English style, notably the majestic horse avenue known as "de la Folie," an ancient Roman road leading to Sancerre and classified in 1981. Still to the East, the castle's outbuildings of approximately 1700m2 are divided into several units, including the stables and a gite accommodating 8 people. Not to mention the small castle theater, a marvel to be restored for the most creative. The roof of the castle and the outbuildings (excluding the stables) is in perfect condition. A WITNESS TO HISTORY WITH ITS INEXPLICABLE DESCRIPTION, RICH IN ANECDOTES AND REFINEMENT, CHÂTEAU DE BLET NATURALLY STANDS IN THE RARE LIST OF ANCIENT RESIDENCES WHERE EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE AND WHERE LIFE IS SWEET. Visits 7/7 days. Private valet service at the train station and airport. Translator available. Additional file on request. Agency fees are the responsibility of the seller.

Réf. 4661 : Monumental castellan ensemble in Berry, near a renowned sanctuary In the historic province of Berry, within the Indre département, we present an impressive castellated ensemble located at the meeting point of two distinct natural regions: the Champagne Berrichonne and the Boischaut Nord. The former is a gently undulating landscape of open plains dedicated to cereal cultivation, stretching between the Indre and Cher départements. The latter, with more pronounced relief, is characterised by woodlands and hedgerows, interspersed with streams feeding into the nearby River Indre. Paris lies 280 km to the north, and Tours less than 100 km away. Châteauroux, the local administrative centre, is under 30 km from the estate and offers all the amenities and services of a mid-sized town, including a station on the Paris–Toulouse rail line and access to the A20 motorway. For day-to-day needs, the small town of Buzançais is less than a ten-minute drive. The region also enjoys considerable appeal from a tourism perspective. The Val de l’Indre Golf Course is just 11 km away, while the Brenne Regional Nature Park—also known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes—is only slightly further afield. The European Route d’Artagnan, dedicated to equestrian tourism, passes directly by the château, which is fully equipped to accommodate both horses and riders. Most notably, the property lies just minutes from the Marian sanctuary of Pellevoisin. Following a recent decision by the Vatican and a full renovation of its facilities due for completion by 2026, the sanctuary is expected to attract a significant increase in pilgrim visitors in the coming years. The history of the château is closely linked to the Brillac, or Brilhac, family, who are believed to have acquired it through marriage around 1300. At the end of the 15th century, Charles de Brillac, Master of the Household to King Louis XII, rebuilt the old medieval fortress. The new château he had constructed is characteristic of a transitional period. It retains the appearance of a medieval castle with ostentatious military architecture (keep, machicolated towers), while its layout already reflects that of a pleasure residence. Later, from 1636 onwards, another lord of the estate, Jean Phelyppeaux, seigneur of Buzançais and Palluau, added significant outbuildings forming a U-shape around a lower courtyard. Finally, after 1830, the De Lamotte family transformed the château’s south wing into a modern three-storey residence, with floors dedicated respectively to service, reception, and family life. This is how the castle complex appears to us today. The property comprises a group of buildings where the château proper can be distinguished from the outbuildings. The château includes a listed section with a keep and two round towers with conical roofs and a machicolated walkway. The keep rises over five floors and is flanked at the corners by three watchtowers and a stair tower. The first floor is a vast hall with ribbed vaulting. The upper floors each feature a large room of around 80 m² with monumental fireplaces. The central tower, known as the Brillac tower, has four floors, the top three each containing a room of approximately 40 m², with monumental fireplaces. The last tower has two levels of bedrooms, one of which includes an antechamber and a bathroom. These three towers are connected by two galleries on two levels. On the ground floor, peristyles with flamboyant Gothic-style decoration. On the upper level, one open arcaded gallery and one enclosed gallery with monumental fireplaces. The 19th-century residence is a long, classically styled building with two main floors, flanked by towers. The ground floor includes the service areas: a large stone-paved kitchen, a vestibule with staircase and mezzanine, and various small rooms. The first floor, divided by a fine cross hallway, is a reception area with a large wood-panelled drawing room, a small salon, and a study. The top floor is an intimate living space with a library, four bedrooms, dressing rooms and antechambers, and two bathrooms. Each floor of the residence has approximately 220 sqm of living space. Outbuildings: The outbuildings offer nearly 3,000 sqm of available space, mainly grouped within a long 17th-century structure arranged in a U-shape around the lower courtyard. Built over two levels, including an attic floor, the building is roofed with traditional flat clay tiles. The attic is lit by gabled or mill-style dormer windows with triangular pediments. The various sections comprise: -A corner pavilion, roofed in slate and converted into a caretaker’s house of approximately 150 sqm of habitable space. -The so-called 'Eastern Outbuildings', featuring the entrance porch to the village and large rooms fitted out as a local history museum. -At the corner, a bread oven and a three-storey round tower with a conical roof and adjoining spiral stair turret. -The 'Northern Outbuildings', an extensive wing including: A communal kitchen for around 60 people; Five bedrooms accommodating between 1 and 11 guests, each with an individual shower room; A refectory or banquet hall; A secondary dining area known as the 'Arcade Room'; Two small kitchens; Communal WCs and showers. -A corner pavilion containing a two-room apartment awaiting conversion. The 'Western Outbuildings', housing: A central heating plant; A workshop; A tack room; Stables and storage areas. Separated from the western outbuildings by a second arched gateway leading into the estate is a 19th-century barn with large timber doors, roofed in slate and currently used for storing agricultural vehicles. Additional features on the estate include: -A mill housing a 19th-century micro hydroelectric power station. -A charming lakeside pavilion, in need of restoration. -A large timber storage barn. The estate extends over a total area of 35.7 hectares and is entirely enclosed by a perimeter wall measuring approximately 2.5 kilometres in length—an exceptional feature. The grounds are criss-crossed by paths that divide the property into several distinct zones: Ten hectares of arable land, currently under direct cultivation. A large horse paddock of just over 2 hectares, located to the rear of the western outbuildings. An enclosed field of 3.5 hectares. -A pond of slightly more than 3 hectares, complete with its own pavilion. -A reference orchard featuring several varieties of quince trees. -An avenue lined with eight apple trees. -Meadows and pastureland. The rental situation : The château currently hosts small groups for training sessions. However, the accommodation and reception capacities of the outbuildings make it entirely feasible to welcome larger groups—whether on foot, on horseback, or by coach—and even to host prestigious events in a truly majestic setting. The following parts are classified as Historic Monument : as per the 1930 decree, the three eastern towers with machicolations, along with the two wings that connect them. This property is a historic monument (allowing fiscal tax cuts if you pay taxes in France).

At the border of these three beautiful central regions (Nivernais / Bourbonnais / Berry), 2 hours and 30 minutes from Paris, the vast MH castle was built on the foundations of a 16th-century enclosure closed by corner towers, one of which remains the chapel; an honor courtyard bordered by vast harmonious outbuildings. This lordship has no defensive elements in this pleasure place, which was solely designed for hunting. Hidden in a set of nearly 16 hectares of English parkland, groves, meadows surrounded by oaks and crossed by a stream, a shaded body of water, the castle offers a clear view of its own estate from its floors. Deer and does from the neighboring forests come to graze or roar peacefully in the meadow bordered by hunting forests. The castle has about twenty rooms, including large reception rooms (fireplaces, parquet floors, large bays letting in light from the park where the deer roars). Numerous tax exemption works have been carried out and can be continued despite the excellent general condition of the rooms: renovation of the floor with 7 bedrooms equipped with 6 shower rooms. Energy class: DPE not required. XVIII-century classified outbuildings: barn-stable; barn-cattle shed; staff houses (possibility of gîtes). This rare gem of classical architecture, unique in this region, has been fully respected in the charm and harmony of the original renovated elements. This castle also has an interior layout compatible with contemporary life and vast reception volumes. Its external estate, of almost 16 hectares, offers a perimeter of tranquility, augmented by the advantage of a calm region, highly accessible as it is central, and geographically varied. As a historical residence, the castle also enjoys the benefits of historic monuments, sought after for their label and their "tax exemption": if opened to the public: 40% DRAC subsidies, 25% from the General Council, and 25% from the department; the remaining 10% of the works borne by the owner being deductible from income). • Immediate proximity to hunting in private and state forests; • 2 minutes from a town with shops (markets, fairs...); 5 minutes from 3 beautiful historic towns • 2 hours and 30 minutes from Paris Historical and architectural file complete with serious references and on research mandate. https://demeure.biz/honoraires.htm Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.frThis description has been automatically translated from French.

Réf.4802 : Chateau listed as a Historic Monument and its small chateau in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre The château is situated in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre region, between Nevers and Château-Chinon, on the outskirts of a small town of 900 inhabitants. Formerly the seat of a major medieval seigneury, the town developed on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Aron valley. The Nivernais Canal forms a loop within which the estate is situated. The Aron flows below. It is built on high ground and enjoys a magnificent view over the Nièvre countryside. The Morvan Regional Nature Park is nearby, a preserved natural area. The château is a 30-minute drive from Nevers and a 2 hour 40 minute drive from Paris. There is an aerodrome in Nevers, and a helicopter can land in the château grounds. The property comprises a 1,200 sqm château and a smaller 800 sqm château. THE CHATEAU : The château is built on a rectangular plan, over four storeys, with a slate gable roof. On the south-west façade, one can make out a former imposing chapel, now connected to the interior of the château, covered by a hipped roof, with two large pointed-arch windows. The main entrance is situated in the centre of a tall, projecting tower, spanning six storeys, topped by a hipped roof and housing a listed spiral staircase. The north-west façade, overlooking the terrace, is rendered in lime, featuring numerous mullioned windows in the larger sections and high-set dormer windows. The window frames are made of limestone. The south-east façade, offering a beautiful view of the Nièvre countryside, also features numerous windows, some of which are in a more classical 17th-C. style. A two-storey turret links the former chapel to the château. On the second and third floors there are twelve bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and wardrobe, ranging in size from 12 to 51 sqm. Beneath the roof of the former chapel lies a large 50 sqm study featuring a beautiful roof structure shaped like an upturned ship’s hull. Throughout the château, there are numerous preserved and restored architectural features, including floors, fireplaces, wood panelling, ceilings, and more. The interiors are very harmonious, of high quality, and perfectly respect this historic residence. THE SMALL CHATEAU : This is a 17th-C. building that originally housed outbuildings and large double-height stables. It has a rectangular layout over three storeys, plus an attic, and is covered with a slate Mansard roof. The main façade on the north-west side features a slight projection at its centre, with a pediment at the top, as well as at the ends, framed by stonework. The façades are lime-plastered. The interior surface area of the small château is approximately 800 sqm. THE 13TH-C. DEFENCE TOWER : This military defence tower has been converted into a self-contained flat. On the ground floor is a living room featuring antique terracotta tiles and a French-style ceiling. The tower contains various works by the designer and sculptor Pierre-Marie le Jeune, including a striking metal fireplace. A small kitchen has also been fitted out. Upstairs, there is a beautiful bedroom with a ‘sculpted bed’ and a glass ceiling revealing the magnificent roof structure, as well as a very contemporary bathroom with a glass bathtub. LAND : The park covers just over 12.3 acres. Around 1830, the landscape architect LAVENNE de CHOULOT designed an English-style park. It is through this park that one enters the estate. Heading south, we pass through a woodland with beautiful bridle paths that lead us to the edge of the Canal du Nivernais. From there, skirting the defence tower via a stone tunnel, we reach what was once the old kitchen garden, situated below the château’s terrace. Under the impetus of the current owners, this former kitchen garden has been transformed into a contemporary garden which has been awarded the ‘remarkable garden’ label. Water features have been created, resembling shattered fragments in which the sky and the château’s façade are reflected. Magnificent undulating rows of boxwood evoke the Nivernais bocage. This remarkable garden is bordered by a private canal running parallel to the Canal du Nivernais. Finally, a small French-style garden has been created on the upper terrace between the château and the 13th-C. tower. The views are magnificent, both from the lower garden towards the chateau terraces and from the upper gardens towards the Aron valley and the landscapes of the Nivernais countryside. This château is a truly historic family estate. Its size, location, surroundings, gardens and history make it a truly exceptional property. The high-quality restoration, which has been carried out with respect for the site’s history, means that a large family could move in immediately. The separation between the main château and the smaller château opens up a wide range of possibilities for activities without causing any disturbance.

Own a Piece of French History Have you ever dreamt of becoming the guardian of a château steeped in history? Now could be your chance. Part of this remarkable estate dates back to 1350, when it was elevated to château status by Royal decree of the King of France. Built as a fortress to protect its grounds and surrounding lands, the château today is both a thriving touristic holiday rental business and a magnificent private estate. Nestled in a private and tranquil setting in the Vienne department of central France, the property extends over 6.9 hectares of landscaped gardens, meadows, and river frontage, complete with two private islands. The estate includes the original dungeon of 1350, transformed into a unique and atmospheric wedding and events hall, the impressive château of 1492 with its tall tower overlooking the countryside, a two-bedroom gîte, a two-bedroom caretaker's cottage, a one-bedroom apartment, a vast two-level barn, a games room and library, a swimming pool with terraces, and an original bread oven. The château itself has been sympathetically renovated, blending modern comfort with authentic medieval character. On the ground floor, the original wooden door of the tower opens into a hallway that reveals the spiral granite staircase, its steps worn smooth by centuries of use. A large living room with monumental fireplace, a rustic country kitchen designed for both family life and professional catering, a downstairs bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and a vaulted stone cellar ideal for wine tastings complete this level. The first floor offers two grand bedrooms with stylish but authentic bathrooms, while the vast attic above remains undeveloped, providing exceptional potential for further accommodation. Adjoining the château is a spacious games room with a craft room above, and to the other side stands a huge barn housing machinery and a brand-new pellet boiler, with a vast attic that could be converted into an impressive events hall. Within the main courtyard lies the owners' cottage, comprising an open-plan living space, kitchen, storeroom, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Opposite stands the original 1350 dungeon, once three levels high in the days of the Templar Knights and still retaining its original fireplace, now used as a wedding hall. A further two-bedroom cottage with a modern kitchen and bright lounge opens onto the swimming pool terrace, while a small apartment provides additional rental income. The grounds are equally enchanting, offering shrubbed gardens, vegetable plots, meadows, wooded areas, and a terrace viewpoint leading down to the river below. The current owners have carried out extensive and tasteful renovations, yet the estate still holds enormous untapped potential for further development, events, or the expansion of its successful rental business. This château is more than a property ? it is a living piece of history, filled with character, romance, and possibility. Words and photos cannot capture its magic. A personal visit is essential to truly experience the atmosphere of this extraordinary estate. (4.04 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)
