castles with terrace for sale Drôme, France

In the Drôme des Collines, a 18th-century castle with medieval origins, listed as a historical monument, along with its outbuildings and park. The property presents itself as a coherent ensemble established at the center of a wooded park, slightly elevated from the road leading to the village. The castle is built according to a rectangular plan, with a tower at each corner and a square keep flanked at the north wall. Covering an area of about 720 m², it rises over four levels. The broken-slope roofs and old tiles attest to successive construction campaigns. The facades, made of stone and light ochre plaster, alternate between regular openings and older cutouts, reflecting the evolution of the dwelling over the centuries. A straight pathway penetrates the park and serves the outbuildings located set back: old stables, orangerie, barns, and wood shed, organized around a service courtyard. The tall trees provide a natural shield that isolates the estate from its immediate surroundings. A wide terrace extends to the south, while the landscaped park gently descends towards the low lands. The whole is conceived as a lordly estate on a contained scale, where each building occupies its place in an orderly composition.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Many remains convince us that the first stones that erected the fortified castle have existed since the time of the Roman Empire, but it was in the Middle Ages that it took the form we know today. In the 14th century, during the Renaissance, the inner courtyard was fitted out with a monumental staircase in the Italian style with 4 levels leading to the new pleasure floors. This majestic work still exists today. The attic has very good possibilities. This castrum has 3 levels of approximately 400 m2 including around twenty guest and private rooms with shower room and WC, dining rooms, lounges, kitchens, libraries, cellars, large cellars , garage.

A 17th-century chateau listed as a historical monument with a large outbuilding and splendid grounds looking out at the Rhône valley in France’s Drôme department. The local village was once a fief of the Poitiers-Valentinois family. It became part of the Kingdom of France at the start of the 15th century. The village had a chateau before this one. That old chateau was known as the region’s most important fortification, but it was destroyed in the French Wars of Religion. That was when a new chateau was built just outside the village, along the side of a road linking the village to the nearest town, a short distance north of it. Its location was not chosen at random: a spring lies beyond the ditches and it once filled up the property’s ponds and brought its fountains to life. A vast earthen terrace of more than one hectare is edged with embankments and dry moats. Upon it stand two fine edifices built in the style of the Italian Late Renaissance. The chateau towers in the middle of this grassy terrace. Construction of the chateau began in 1591. The edifice continued to be built during the second half of the 17th century. It is a large square-shaped structure with corner towers and a central inner courtyard. It has three levels and a floor area of over 1,300m². In front of the chateau, at the property’s entrance, stands an edifice that was built at the end of the 17th century. It is about 60 metres long and edges a road that runs along the other side of the moat. This structure is made up of a gatehouse flanked with two wings. This gatehouse controls access to the property. The whole building offers a floor area of around 450m². Together, the chateau and the gatehouse with its wings represent a splendid feat of architecture: a classic symmetrical layout going from east to west on an open, grassy terrace. Beyond this section of lawns on which the edifices stand, the grounds extend through meadows and woods over a naturally undulating area. The chateau has been listed as a historical monument since 1990 for its walls, roofing and interior decorative features.
