castle for sale Saint-Amand-Montrond, France

A human-scale 18th-century chateau in around 4 hectares of parkland, in the countryside around the Bourbonnais sector. The estate spreads out over a surface of approximately 4hectares. The chateau, which was erected in 1758, stands out thanks to its classical architecture, which is typical of grand French residences from the second half of the 18th century. It boasts a symmetrical layout including a central section flanked by two wings, providing structure to the south-facing main facade. In the 19th century, a staircase tower was added to one of the wings. The three-storey residence has a ground floor, first floor and a not yet converted loft beneath a slate Mansard roof, which is punctuated by three gable dormers with triangular pediments as well as by several chimney stacks. Thanks to the tall windows on the facade, the interior is generously bathed in light. The ashlar door and window surrounds, the stringcourses as well as the quoins emphasise the structure’s well-organised appearance. The slender tower provides a picturesque touch and pays witness to the enhancements made in the 19th century, which were nonetheless in keeping with the style of the original construction. Tracks and paths wind through the classically inspired parkland, providing structure and carefully crafted perspectives, faithful to the tradition of French rural properties, designed to combine appearance, comfort and harmony with the natural environment.
