Hospitality investors, event operators, hotel groups, tourism entrepreneurs, family offices... this estate awaits to continue telling its already long story. From the vast private wooded park, several perspectives emerge: that of the elegant castle, of course, but also those of a promising development for this exclusive place.

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.

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.)

Ref.4674 : French restored chateau for sale in Centre of France Located on the slopes of a hill in the Allier department, in the heart of a landscaped park dotted with majestic century-old sequoias, the château blends harmoniously into its surroundings.
