castle for sale Albon, France

A listed 18th-century chateau with medieval origins, outhouses and grounds, tucked away on the hills of France’s Drôme department, in the south-east of the country. The chateau and its outhouses form a coherent series of buildings in the middle of tree-dotted grounds, which lie slightly above the road that leads to the local village. The chateau is rectangular in shape with an adjoining tower at each corner and a square keep that adjoins the northern elevation. It offers a 720m² floor area and has a ground floor, a first floor, a second floor and a third floor. Multi-sloped roofs with old tiles bear witness to successive construction projects on the edifice. The stone elevations display pale-ochre pointing. They are punctuated with both evenly spaced windows and older openings too, reflecting the edifice’s evolution over the centuries. A straight driveway runs through the grounds to the outhouses, which are set back. There is a former stable, an orangery, a barn and a woodstore. They are arranged around a courtyard. Tall trees form a natural barrier that separates the chateau from its immediate surroundings. A vast terrace stretches southwards and a landscaped garden slopes gently down to lower land. The whole complex was designed as a seigneurial estate but on a limited scale, with each building playing a role in a well-structured arrangement.

EXCLUSIVITY. There are homes whose charm transcends the centuries. In the heart of the green Ardèche, this elegant 19th-century master house unveils its 560 m² of living space within a magnificent wooded park of 11,700 m², where nature extends to the banks of the river. Completely restored with noble materials, this dwelling has managed to preserve all its elegance: parquet floors, woodwork, marble fireplaces, moldings, beautiful ceiling heights, and majestic bay windows opening onto the park. Spread over three levels, the vast reception rooms are accompanied by numerous bedrooms and several living spaces. A configuration that is suitable both for a large family home and for a guest house project, shared living, or a residence for independent seniors. The possibility of installing an elevator could also facilitate accessibility to the various levels, subject to a technical study and the necessary permits. On the garden level, beautiful volumes allow for the creation of a wellness area with a spa. Outside, the park with its majestic trees, terraces, and the banks of the river invites one to fully enjoy the seasons in a peaceful and green setting. The property also includes 120 m² of cellars and 80 m² of garages, providing valuable additional spaces. A family home, a residence to share, a place to live and pass on.

When living in a château also means imagining a place entirely your own. Just a 10-minute walk from the village and approximately one hour from Lyon, Valence and Grenoble, this elegant 19th-century château is set within two hectares of wooded grounds, offering a wonderfully private setting and an exceptional sense of space. From the moment you enter, the character of the property is immediately apparent. Exposed stone, wood panelling, high ceilings and period features reflect its history and create an atmosphere that is both elegant and timeless. Three adjoining reception rooms provide generous spaces for entertaining, hosting large gatherings or simply enjoying everyday life in a truly distinctive setting. Beyond them, the light-filled orangery opens onto the park and offers a particularly beautiful space for welcoming family, guests or visitors. The château offers remarkable accommodation, with five suites including a principal suite, together with seven additional bedrooms. This configuration allows for a wide range of possibilities: a large family residence, a second home, a guest house or a carefully considered hospitality and events project, subject to the relevant permissions and regulations. Vaulted cellars naturally complement the property and could also lend themselves to a project centred around entertaining, gastronomy or the French art of living. The former caretaker’s house, set apart from the main residence, offers further flexibility. It could accommodate guests independently, serve as a guest house or gîte, or provide additional accommodation as part of a larger project, while preserving the privacy of the main château. The two-hectare grounds form a magnificent natural setting for the property. They offer the possibility of creating a truly personal outdoor environment or, subject to the necessary permissions, hosting private receptions, intimate seminars, family celebrations or bespoke stays. The surrounding region further enhances the lifestyle on offer, with lakes, unspoilt landscapes and ski resorts providing opportunities to enjoy nature and the mountains throughout the seasons, while several major cities remain easily accessible. More than a château, this property offers a setting and a story around which to create something truly personal. A singular residence to live in, share, reinvent and perhaps one day pass on — where heritage, nature and the art of living come together.
