Built at the beginning of the 19th century, this pleasant building consists of a central body flanked by two single-storey side pavilions. Two rectangular towers frame the building and give it a more substantial appearance. With a living area of approx. 575sqm, it is distributed as follows: On the ground floor: a vast entrance hall with a stairway and toilet, which leads to the right-hand side, a lounge (36sqm) with a ceiling height (HSP) of 3.66 m, a dining room (50sqm) (HSP 3 m), a kitchen and a scullery with a boiler room, storeroom and toilet.

The chateau is built in a magnificent park where nature is skilfully tamed. One finds there both the symmetry and the worked forms of the French park and the wilder and less rigorous aspect of the English park. This combination of landscapes, which extends over more than 19.76 acres (8 hectares), creates a theatre of greenery composed of boxwoods, water circuits, arched hedges, an English river and a rose garden, forming a veritable arboretum. A few meadows to let animals graze complete this ensemble, which is free of any rental. Cabinet LE NAIL – Loiret - Sologne – M. Baudouin LE GRELLE : +33 (0)2.43.98.20.20

Castle Theillay (41)

In Sologne, Olympia Immobilier exclusively presents this 31-hectare property in a natural setting of great tranquility. This place brings together the essential elements of a character estate: land, woods, meadows, historic buildings, outbuildings and equestrian facilities. The property is organized around a manor of approximately 660 m2 that needs restoration, whose volumes and architecture offer a remarkable base for an ambitious project. The place retains an authentic soul with the charm specific to the great residences of Sologne, which ask to be awakened rather than standardized. Around the manor, outbuildings complete the ensemble. They allow for various uses: family home, prestigious second residence, equestrian project, welcoming guests, caretaker's accommodation, workshops or ancillary spaces according to the needs of the future owner. Horse enthusiasts will find existing facilities on site: Stables, Toublin Clément Riding Arena and Large Hangar, integrated into an environment particularly suited, between open meadows and wooded areas. A beautiful dovecote also enriches the heritage character of the estate. Renovations are to be expected to restore the park, the manor, and the outbuildings to their full splendor. This is precisely what makes the uniqueness of this property: it does not deliver a fixed decor, but a rare, generous material to be reassembled with rigor. Its location is a real asset. While offering an exceptional, preserved, and confidential living environment, the property benefits from easy access as it is situated between two highway entrances. An ideal situation for easily reaching major routes without giving up the calm or intimacy of a vast estate in Sologne. A rare property, intended for buyers sensitive to authentic places, large spaces, and high heritage value restoration projects.

Castle Salbris (41)

50 pages présentation on request. Sologne - Elegant château at the heart of a remarkable woodland estate Nestled in the heart of a remarkable woodland park and adjoining a vast private forest, this sublime Sologne château embodies the art of living in all its splendour. Here, silence is a sanctuary, not an absence, but the gentle breath of a majestic, unspoiled nature. Built at the end of the 19th century at the request of the Marquis de Dreux-Brézé, this elegant château exudes a rare refinement. Its asymmetrical façades, two square towers, a round tower, a bow window, a grand terrace and a balcony, play with light and perspective, while its interiors, bathed in natural light, breathe sophistication: ornate mouldings, wood panelling, functional marble fireplaces, original parquet floors, encaustic cement tiles… Period features have been carefully preserved, while modern amenities blend in seamlessly: four bathrooms including one with a hydrotherapy bath, a fully equipped kitchen, fibre-optic broadband and a connected alarm system. Spanning nearly 750 m² of living space across four levels, the property offers 25 rooms including up to 14 bedrooms, generous proportions and excellent scope for further customisation. The entire property is in outstanding condition, from the slate roof down to the cellars. The art of Sologne living extends naturally outdoors. The 1.65-hectare landscaped park, fully enclosed, blends romance and formal design: century-old trees, an orchard, flower beds, shaded pathways and evening lighting. A heated saltwater swimming pool, sheltered beneath an elegant winter-garden-style glass canopy, completes this idyllic setting. The property also benefits from a high-quality caretaker's cottage (4 bedrooms, sleeping up to 10), in perfect condition. Rental opportunity of a hunting ground : The 208 hectares of land adjoining the property, not included in the sale, are subject to a hunting lease available for a very reasonable annual amount This opportunity offers the buyer the possibility of extending their domain of use and hunting across a particularly game-rich territory. A rare privilege given the space and quality of hunting on offer. And a financial opportunity not to be overlooked: the forthcoming sale of this land could allow future owners to unite the château and forest into an ensemble whose overall value would far exceed the combined acquisition cost. Finally, the property remains remarkably well connected: Paris is 200 km away, Sancerre just 30 minutes, and the countless châteaux of the Loire Valley are close at hand. A rare property, where heritage, nature and the good life converge. This version flows a little more naturally than the previous one as the source text itself was slightly tightened. Let me know if you'd like any further tweaks!

Ref.4478 : Beautiful french chateau for sale in Sologne. In Sologne, in the department of Cher, at the gateway to the Pays Fort Sancerrois, stands this sublime château nestling in the heart of a private contiguous forest of over 200 hectares. The silence here is so perfect that it becomes music to the soul, soothing any inner turmoil. And yet, despite being protected from any nuisance, the property is only twenty kilometres or so from Salbris and Vierzon stations, making it possible to reach the capital in 1hr 30mins and 1hr 40mins respectively. The main shops and services are around ten kilometres away in a small, dynamic and historic Sologne town. Golf and other outdoor activities are also nearby. Built over a mezzanine floor, the château is constructed of rendered rubble stone and topped with a pavilion-style, three-sloped slate roof. It comprises a square body with an imposing pavilion, half of which is built into the structure, a four-sided tower, also half of which is built into the structure, and a cylindrical tower above the structure. The frames and quoins are in red brick with pointing, giving the building a certain elegance. A projecting string course surrounds the building, marking the separation between the ground and ground floors and giving rhythm to the façade. The half-hipped dormers on the first floor are topped with a zinc finial, demonstrating the building's attention to detail. The attic floor is pierced with skylights to let in natural light. The building faces north-east/south-west and spans approx. 700 sqm of living space over three stories: Ground floor : A vast gallery entrance of almost 30 sqm, with cement tiles on the floor and picture rails on the ceiling, sets the scene. It opens onto a pleasant billiard room on the right and a bright, spacious study on the left, with its herringbone parquet flooring and marble fireplace. Towards the south-west, a splendid lounge (45 sqm, 4 m high ceilings) bathed in light provides a warm, soothing atmosphere that every guest will appreciate. This is followed by a large hall with the start of a beautiful solid oak winding staircase, then a corridor leading to a second, more intimate sitting room with views over the parklands. This is followed by the dining room with its trumeau over the marble fireplace, its picture rails and its bow window giving it an uninterrupted view over the parklands. A pleasant, double-exposed kitchen of almost 30 sqm with a central island completes the western layout. It has direct access to the outside from the small circular tower. To the east are a laundry room and a toilet, as well as the start of a secondary staircase. On the first floor : a landing leads to a large corridor with 6 bedrooms on either side, including a large master suite with its own bathroom and dressing room, as well as private wc in the tower. The south-east-facing bedroom offers the luxury of access to a roof terrace bordered by square pear-shaped balusters with a square base and rounded pedestal and spine. The neighbouring bedroom, facing south-west, has a suspended balcony with wrought-iron railings. There are also two shower rooms and separate wc. The second floor : even though it is under the rafters, it is still very spacious. There are three bedrooms, a bathroom, wc, an artist's studio with a floor surface area of more than 40 sqm and various other rooms. The latter, currently used for storage, could easily be converted into bedrooms as they already have all the comforts required for such use. The mezzanine floor contains cellars, a boiler room, a laundry room and storage rooms. The property is in good condition and offers excellent conversion potential. Outbuildings : To the north-west of the château is a comfortable caretaker's cottage which, although built in the 21st century, respects the château's architectural style. The walls are rendered and covered with a slate roof. The ground floor comprises a living room with open-plan kitchen and separate toilet. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, wc and a bathroom. It has electric heating, Polyvinyl chloride double-glazed windows and an independent drainage system. The building also houses two enclosed garages and, adjoining them, a lean-to with an electric charging point for two additional vehicles. To the south is a splendid 11 x 5 m swimming pool, built in 2000 and covered by an elegant 19 x 8 m conservatory-style glass roof. The swimming pool uses salt water and is heated by its own oil-fired boiler. After a long, straight, gravelled driveway, more than 500 m long, in the middle of the woods, you reach the entrance gate to the property. The enchanting backdrop is a magnificent château set in 1.65 hectares of fully enclosed landscaped parklands. The gardens, a subtle blend of geometry and romanticism, offer idyllic perspectives that captivate the eye. Here, the flowerbeds compete in colour with the seasons, while the paths lined with trees and pruned bushes invite you to stroll and contemplate. In the evening, the park's lighting, rivalled by that of the moon, offers an altogether different setting, but one that is just as pleasing to the eye. A well with a submersible pump provides automatic watering for the various fruit trees, shrubs and flowers. In addition to its refined gardens, the property enjoys the immense privilege of benefiting from the natural protection of more than 200 hectares of thick woodland, giving it perfect privacy, but without the burden of maintenance, as it belongs to an adjoining owner. This place, deeply rooted in its terroir, seems to breathe the soul of its history and no nuisance disturbs the beauty of the surroundings. RENTAL SITUATION : The 208 hectares surrounding the property are currently rented by the owners of the château under a hunting lease for an annual sum of €17,800. This lease can be transferred according to the wishes of each party. Cabinet LE NAIL – Loiret - Sologne – M.

Castle Vatan (36)

Located in a small municipality in the Indre department, the property is about 35 kilometers from Châteauroux, 30 kilometers from Vierzon, and 2 hours and 30 minutes from Paris. It includes a castle, a caretaker's house, farm buildings, and predominantly wooded land, complemented by a recreational park. The Castle was built in two parts, as the central part burned down in the 19th century. The main building is a quadrangular construction with two levels, each pierced by three bays. It is topped with a high hipped roof. The tower has three levels, the last of which is illuminated by a hanging dormer window, surmounted by a triangular pediment. On each side, but oriented differently, are two wings. Their roofs, in the Mansard style, combining tiles and slates, indicate that these parts are older. The exteriors were renovated a few years ago, as were some of the roofs. The castle rises on two main levels (excluding the attic). The ground floor includes the main living rooms (three lounges, a dining room), a technical area with the kitchen, pantry, laundry room, and a sleeping area with a bedroom and a bathroom. The first floor has 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The bedrooms are comfortable and warm, mostly with a washbasin. A staircase provides access to the unconverted attic. Several dependencies complement this property. On the right of the Castle, a long building was constructed in the early 20th century, which now houses the caretaker's apartment, divided into a living room, kitchen, and three bedrooms on two levels. Then, a relaxation area with a large living room on the garden level and two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Finally, there is an old saddlery. The land consists of a 28-hectare forest massif, mainly populated by cedars undergoing conversion to regular coppice, managed under a Simple Management Plan (PSG). The rest of the property includes a leisure park. EPC: F/E Price HAI: €695,000 (net seller price: €660,000 - fees of 5.3% including VAT borne by the purchaser).

Castle Quantilly (18)

Near Bourges and the Menetou-Salon vineyard, a 18th-century château and its outbuildings, set on 15 hectares. The estate extends over approximately 15 hectares, including 10 hectares of wooded park with pathways. The château, which is distinguished by its classical architecture characteristic of French residences from the second half of the 18th century, is presented in a symmetrical layout consisting of a central body flanked by two corner pavilions structuring the main facade facing south. It has three levels with a raised ground floor, a noble floor, and converted attics under a remarkable Mansard roof covered with slate. The roof is rhythmically adorned with triangular pediment dormers, bull's-eye windows, and imposing chimney stacks that contribute to the overall silhouette's elegance. The facade, simple and refined, is illuminated by tall French windows that bring abundant light to the interior spaces. The dressed stone frames, horizontal bands, and corner quoins highlight the quality of the arrangement and the nobility of the construction. A large central front steps showcase the main entrance and assert the symmetry of the building. The slender turrets crowning the edges add a picturesque dimension and reinforce the majestic character of the whole. They testify to embellishments likely carried out in the 19th century, respecting the original building. The château opens onto a classical-inspired garden composed of geometric flowerbeds, structured pathways, and carefully drawn perspectives. The privileged relationship between architecture and landscape is in line with the tradition of great French country residences, designed to combine representation, comfort, and harmony with the natural environment. The whole forms a characterful property with a timeless cachet, illustrating the art of living and the residential heritage of France from the 18th and 19th centuries.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle Bourges (18)

Ref.4860 : Comfortable 19th-C. château overlooking the Cher Valley, just a few minutes from Bourges The property is less than three hours from Paris and a quarter of an hour from Bourges, a major city of art and history at the heart of a thriving economic region where the aerospace and defence industries are particularly well represented. The site 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. We are in the Champagne-Berrichonne region, and more specifically in the Cher Valley. The north-flowing river winds its way through the gently rolling plains of what is still part of the Paris Basin, in a charming valley dotted with small villages. Set apart from one of these villages and situated on high ground, the property enjoys a remarkable view and absolute tranquillity. The key city for this property, Bourges, is a town whose long and rich history naturally made it a prime candidate to become the European Capital of Culture 2028. While we await this year packed with artistic and cultural events, we’ll enjoy 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. And for fans of French-language music, the Printemps de Bourges has been the festival not to be missed for fifty years. And then, the Sologne region isn’t far away either, nor are the vineyards of Reuilly and Quincy, Berry wines as remarkable in red as in white, traditionally associated with the Loire Valley vineyards. In short, a region where life is good. The château comes into view at the end of a tree-lined driveway some 250 metres long. Built on three levels, including a basement, it has a slate roof. With a square, classical appearance in keeping with the Romantic era, it is flanked to the north and south by two towers with conical roofs, the slates of which have been cut to form a fish-scale pattern. The entrance is on the east side, where only two storeys are visible. The façade features a beautiful arrangement of windows adorned with ornate grilles for the front door and the ground-floor windows; balustrades in the same style decorate the windows on the first floor. The attic is lit by elegant bull’s-eye dormer windows. The opposite façade, to the west, follows the same architectural layout but on a grander scale. The windows are arranged in a straight line across the three storeys of the main building and the towers. The dormer windows, three instead of two, are similar to those on the east façade. Entering via the ground floor, one finds a beautiful entrance hall with a white marble floor featuring cabochon inlays, a pattern repeated throughout the entire level. At the far end, a niche decorated with perspective effects; to the right, a cloakroom with a toilet, then, further on, a first reception room with a beautiful Louis XIII-style fireplace featuring an insert. Next, a beautiful suite of rooms including a study in the north tower, a very light-filled lounge overlooking the valley, a dining room with its monumental Louis XIV-inspired fireplace, and a second study in the south tower. Beyond the dining room, a utility room and a large, well-equipped kitchen. The first floor is accessed via a winding staircase featuring a wrought-iron banister in the same design as the gates and railings. A beautiful landing leads to a bedroom-library with remarkable oak panelling, a master bedroom with an adjoining study, bathroom and dressing room, two adjoining bedrooms with their own shower room in the south tower, and finally a bedroom with its own shower room. Returning to the ground floor, a staircase from the entrance leads down to the garden-level basement. This comprises a spacious living room with a kitchen area. This room opens onto the large terrace and the superb swimming pool, situated slightly below. There is also a bedroom with a study and a shower room, and a laundry/plant room for the swimming pool.

LAND : The grounds, covering a total area of 58 acres, consist of a landscaped, wooded park of around 4 hectares, as well as woods and clearings converted into meadows. These well-maintained meadows cover an area large enough to accommodate horses or ponies. The woods, for their part, give this property its character. With their density and cool shade, they form a contrast to the open, light-filled park that serves as a setting for the château. Containing some very fine specimens of local tree species, they cover most of the grounds. Beautiful bridleways make it easy to explore them, whether for a romantic stroll or to reach the adjoining woodland. The latter, covering an area of around 150 hectares, is home to a rich and diverse array of wildlife that is easy to spot.
