Castle Argenton-sur-Creuse (36)

Ref 4825: 15th-century castle and its hamlet for sale in the Berry region Located in Berry, in the Indre department, this remarkable castle captivates visitors with its distinctively medieval character. Situated in the heart of France, it is approximately 300 km from Paris via the A20 motorway, known as the Occitane, and 30 km from Châteauroux, the local town centre. For everyday amenities, the charming village of Argenton-sur-Creuse is less than ten minutes away. The site can also be reached by helicopter. A veritable fortress, the building overlooks the banks of a small river, the Bouzanne. The gently rolling surrounding landscape marks the south-eastern boundary of the Brenne, also known as the ‘Land of a Thousand Ponds’. Renowned for its unspoilt nature and designated a Regional Nature Park, this region offers numerous opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Birdwatchers come from all over the world to observe waterfowl and migratory birds, whilst hikers, cyclists and horse riders enjoy the well-maintained paths winding between the ponds. Hunting enthusiasts also find favourable terrain here, whilst respecting responsible hunting practices. On the edge of a hamlet, its privacy protected by a wall stretching nearly two kilometres, the fortress stands at the heart of its grounds. It enjoys a remarkable panorama over the Bouzanne Valley, forming a veritable natural amphitheatre where the views stretch for nearly ten kilometres. This spectacular setting had, in fact, caught the attention of Michael Jackson, who had considered establishing his French estate there in the late 1990s. The castle is one of the few largely preserved examples of 15th-century military architecture. Built of dressed stone and rubble masonry, and still partially surrounded by moats, it comprises an entrance gatehouse flanked by crenellated towers, which leads into a first, square courtyard. Two wings of the building flank this courtyard. At the far end of this courtyard, a fixed bridge leads, beneath an imposing keep, to a second courtyard. The dismantling of the curtain walls and certain towers has transformed this inner courtyard into a terraced esplanade offering views, to the north, of the wooded banks of the Bouzanne, a small river flowing at the foot of the castle. To the south of the courtyard, the main residence adjoining the keep, rising four storeys high beneath a slate roof, is defended on three of its corners by imposing towers with conical roofs and machicolations. Entering this residence at terrace level via the stair tower that leads to it, one encounters, in turn, a reception room for guests with its monumental fireplace, a study in the south tower, a former bakery converted into a billiard room, a room known as the ‘courtroom’ with a monumental fireplace, and a chapel. Via the south-east tower, there is access to the bathrooms and sauna located on the ground floor of the south wing of the courtyard. In the north-corner tower, there is a separate bedroom with a beautiful fireplace and en-suite bathroom. On the upper floors, accessible by lift: On the first floor of the main building, a semi-professional kitchen, a dining room with beautiful 17th-century wood panelling, a small green sitting room in the west tower, a large sitting room with a ceiling painted in the 18th-century style, and the executive office in the east tower. On the second floor there are seven bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and seating areas. A spacious room with high ceilings and a gallery completes the layout and is designated as the armoury. On the third floor there are eight bedrooms, each with a bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and armchairs. On the fourth floor there are six bedrooms, each with a bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and built-in seats. A library, covered by a four-part ribbed vault with voussoirs, completes the ensemble. There are numerous outbuildings. Four of these form part of the castle complex: The south wing of the square tower, spread over two floors. It houses the boiler room and a staff flat. The north wing of the square tower is dedicated to technical activities, with storage rooms, cold rooms and a large workshop. On the upper floor, three large brick-vaulted rooms could be converted into a superb reception area. A large terrace covers them. Beneath the terrace lies a vast vaulted room known as the Knights’ Hall. The other outbuildings are clustered in the southern part of the grounds, forming a sort of hamlet: The main one is the Bergerie, a large 19th-century farm building converted into a conference centre. With a total of nearly 300 sqm of living space, it houses two meeting rooms and sixteen rooms, including staff accommodation and two holiday cottages. Six residential houses, likely built in the 19th century, currently unused but weatherproofed. A garage with a covered courtyard and a charging station for electric vehicles. There is also, at the entrance to the estate, a pumping station housed in a hipped-roof building. Built on a plateau overlooking the Bouzanne valley, the castle covers just over 15 hectares (37 acres), which can be divided into: - A vast park, planted with remarkable local tree species (cedars, poplars, birches, oaks), surrounds the castle. It includes an enclosed terraced garden which is soon to be restored to its former status as a vegetable garden. Beautiful paths allow visitors to admire this remarkable example of medieval architecture from every angle. - A 12 x 6 m swimming pool, with a terrace of cut stone and changing rooms in a tower. It is situated at the foot of the north-west corner of the esplanade - To the north, a hillside woodland that slopes down to the path running alongside the river. - Finally, meadows covering an area of 3 hectares complete the estate. All furniture and operating equipment is included in the sale price.

Castle Chateauroux (36)

In Berry, a spectacular restored fortified castle, with its hotel-level amenities. The iconic silhouette of the castle, with its tall towers and vast roofs, seems to spring from the landscape. The whole structure was built in the 15th century. Originally, the castle had 14 towers and a keep, making it one of the main fortresses in the region. During the Wars of Religion, it changed hands between Protestant families. By order of Richelieu, it was partially dismantled to weaken the Huguenot stronghold. Today, seven towers still remain. Deeply restored in 1850, on the advice of the famous architect Viollet-le-Duc, the castle has undergone a complete and very careful rehabilitation over the past thirty years. Several of its towers and even the keep retain original frameworks, which is remarkable given the transformations that occurred over the centuries. All walls are made of rough stone coated to show the stone. The facade of the keep and the crenellated parts of the entrance gate towers are made of cut stone. The keep, the living quarters, and four of the seven towers are topped with high slate roofs, with steep slopes. The other towers have flat roofs concealed by a crown of crenellations. A little away from the building, outbuildings are grouped around several courtyards. The park descends towards the river. The swimming pool has been set up on a grassy terrace, and the tennis court is discreetly sheltered behind an outbuilding. The commanding position of the estate offers an extensive view of the surrounding landscape.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle La Roche-Posay (86)

Ref.4637 : French castle for sale with its dungeon In the heart of a tourist region, between Futuroscope, Angles-sur-l'Anglin (listed as one of France's most beautiful villages) and the Creuse valley, close to La Roche Posay, an internationally-renowned spa resort, this château in a dominant position, nestled in a peaceful rural setting in the immediate vicinity of the Brenne Regional Park, benefits from an exceptional natural setting. It combines the prestige of a place steeped in history with a rare location, just a few minutes from all amenities. Fast access to Châtellerault and Poitiers (TGV station, airport). The château comprises a small pavilion to the north, which appears to date back to the 15th century, and a second, more imposing building, arranged in a barely perceptible L- or even U-shape. The whole rests on a platform supported by buttresses. The oldest pavilion, nestling in the northeast corner, takes the form of a tall square tower with a flat-tiled hip roof. This building has preserved its fine chamfered openings with projecting sills. On its southeast corner, it is flanked by a hexagonal tower with an elegant flat-tiled pyramidal roof, also featuring remarkable openings, including a magnificent window with an accolade lintel adorned with a carved escutcheon. The main body of the château is a rectangular dwelling topped by a flat-tiled gable roof. The south-east façade features 3 bays on the first level and 5 on the second, while a small, solitary dormer lights up the attic. At the north-west corner, a circular tower with a conical flat-tiled roof and half-roof completes the ensemble. A similar tower rises not far from the south corner and is linked to the dwelling by a lower, single-storey wing with a canted slate roof and an attic storey, lit by elegant triangular pediment dormers. This wing appears to have been built at a later date than the rest of the building. The layout of the two round towers suggests that they were an integral part of the original château enclosure, whose main dwelling would have been represented by the aforementioned north pavilion. In the last light of day, the warm hue of the tiles lends the building a particularly welcoming atmosphere. THE CHATEAU: Offering 430 sqm of living space, the chateau seduces with its authentic cachet and generous volumes. A beautiful porch opens onto the charming garden. On the ground floor : an entrance hall with dressing room opens onto a convivial and functional fitted kitchen, where you can enjoy your meals; a dining room, embellished with wood panelling and a fireplace, opens onto the valley via a balcony terrace; a light-filled living room, also with a fireplace and refined parquet flooring; a bedroom with bathroom and toilet, offering every comfort on the ground floor; a magnificent library with fireplace; storage rooms and a beautiful staircase complete this level. First floor : 5 bedrooms, including 2 with en suite bathrooms, and two others with bathroom and toilet; separate toilet; vast attic for conversion, offering real potential for extension. Cellar and boiler room. THE DONGEON: The 13th-century keep, listed as a Historic Monument, comprises 4 levels of around 35 sqm each. In need of renovation. It offers numerous possibilities for creating additional living space. The outbuildings include: A small chapel converted into a woodshed; A large main building, comprising a janitor's cottage, a storage barn and two enclosed garages (one with electric door and electricity); A vast barn formerly used for agricultural storage; A greenhouse; Small roofed shelters.. The land comprises meadows, woods and parkland covering 18.87 acres (7ha 63a87ca).

Castle Valençay (36)

A 19th-century chateau with outhouses, a chapel and a lake, nestled in 30 hectares of grounds in the south of France’s Touraine province. The seigneurial home that was built here on the ruins of a medieval mansion, of which no vestiges remain, was endlessly redesigned until it collapsed in 1860. In 1890, the decision was made to rebuild the edifice on the site. A renowned architect, Louis-Alfred Trolliet, a specialist in the reconstruction of chateaux, was entrusted with this task. He was responsible for the edifice you can see here today. Trolliet was nicknamed ‘the Viollet-le-Duc of the Berry province’ in a nod to the famous 19th-century French architect Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc who restored many medieval monuments. Trolliet won his spurs as a leading figure of the Troubadour style in French architecture with his restoration of the Château de Romefort in the town of Ciron. To rebuild the present property, he did not adopt the Troubadour style but rather the style of the Loire Valley chateaux that was also in vogue at the time. Trolliet opted for a long rectangular dwelling crowned with tall hipped roofs of slate tiles recalling the Château de Chenonceau and the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau. The grand edifice comes into view once you have gone through the entrance gate and made your way up the long central drive punctuated symmetrically with topiary box shrubs neatly clipped into cones. The château faces east and west. Its main section has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The adjoining square tower has a third floor in its roof space. The symmetrical elevations are rendered and punctuated with large small-paned windows fitted with wooden louvred shutters that are painted sky blue. Gabled dormers punctuate the roof of the main section and that of the square tower. Beyond the château, the drive crosses dense woodland on this estate, which covers around 30 hectares and includes a 1.2-hectare lake. Trolliet also decided to build two large lodges as foreparts of the château exactly opposite it. These two buildings are rectangular. They have a ground floor and a first floor. A third lodge stands at a right angle to one of them. This third structure has an eclectic style and recalls a train station. On the south side, a circular dovecote with a cone roof of terracotta tiles adorns the grounds. On the east side, there is a heated swimming pool. Behind the outhouses, a secondary entrance leads to a gravelled car park. Lastly, on the north-west side, there is a private lake. In the middle of this lake there is a small tree-dotted island.

Located 2.5 hours from Paris, in the land of Talleyrand, a completely restored manor, its heated pool, and its garden. A poplar avenue leads to the manor, surrounded by meadows and woods. Dating from the 15th century, it features the characteristic silhouette of typical Berry dwellings. The building is two stories high, under a steep roof of flat tiles. On one side, a square tower with a four-pitched roof has been recently added, in keeping with the rest of the building. On the opposite corner, a round tower topped with a pepperpot roof is original. A veranda connects the main body to a lower return wing. The courtyard facade, coated, is pierced with small-paned cross windows. A bay window with angled glass precedes the central door. The entire property, currently operated as guest rooms, has been carefully restored. The pool is next to a pavilion with a living room and kitchen, as well as a summer dining room.

Time has now come to hand over the running of this charming property to someone new, maybe as a family residence and/or continuing the well established reputation as guest lodgings or maybe something different. Built at the end of the 18th or beginning of the 19th century on the site of an older residence destroyed during the Revolution; it is located in the middle of a large park. Built in local tuffeau stone, the castle consists of a main building including a raised ground floor with terrace, a second floor and a recessed attic with a four-sided slate roof. Two towers flank the corners of the south façade. A former “holiday centre for children” completely renovated and modernized by the current owners in their 20+ years of ownership. The château itself covers circa 650 sqm over its 3 living levels. Providing formal reception rooms and 2 floors of guest rooms. There is also a sizeable “basement/garden level” as well. -The ground floor : climbing the front stairs to the front terrace invites us to step into the entrance hall, 3.75m high ceiling, full depth front to back harlequin tiled with ornate cornices providing central distribution to the reception rooms. The dining hall (42sqm) with straight cut parquet flooring, ornate plasterwork and views over the front lawns with side access to the service corridor. Across the hall from the dining room are the two lounges, interconnecting and covering a total of 86 sqm with beautiful original herring bone parquet floors, wood panelling, ornate fireplace and cornices and double aspect views to the front and rear. A service corridor separates the dining hall from the kitchen a 29 sqm well equipped room with feature fireplace, exposed beams and views over the lake and direct access to a 50m² conservatory overlooking the pool terrace. The former chapel with its original stained glass window is today an office of 13.5 sqm. The two towers accommodate the formal stairs with beautiful ornate wooden floor and a second “service” stairs. -The first floor: houses 5 bedrooms, each one with parquet flooring, views either over the lake to the rear or front lawns and private ensuite bathrooms and one with a seperate dressing room. -The second floor: 7 further bedrooms all with ensuite (2 shower rooms and 5 bathrooms). One is a twin bedroom suite. There is attic space above this floor used for storage. Basement/garden level: the raised “reception floor” permits extra useable space underneath in the basement or garden level. Here the owner has created a separate kitchen and diner for guest use, games room with pool table, bar and table football. There is a laundry and boiler room and another 42 sqm ready to be used and converted if needed. Along with the main château there is a sizeable outbuilding divided into two separate parts. -The first is currently the guardian’s residence with open kitchen/diner/lounge on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. -The second part is a large “villa” (290 sqm habitable space) providing entrance hall, open kitchen, a 90m² banquet/reception hall with adjoining storage room.

Castle Limoges (87)

Rf.4722 : French 18th C. chateau for sale in Haute-Vienne department. The Briance Valley is a protected site in the Haute-Vienne department of Limousin. The river winds its way through a rural landscape where deciduous woods on the slopes alternate with bocage meadows and low-lying pastures, poplar groves on the banks, and cultivated fields on the flatlands and hillsides. This is the home of the famous Limousine cattle breed: the Pôle de Lanaud, with its renowned restaurant, is just a few minutes from the property. This corner of the countryside is less than 20 km from Limoges, a city of art and history. Known for its long tradition of porcelain manufacturing, the capital of Limousin is a dynamic city with a large student population, a renowned university hospital, and one of the world's leading companies in the field of electrical equipment (Legrand). Limoges-Bénédictins train station, listed as a Historic Monument for its architecture combining Art Nouveau and Art Deco, allows you to reach Paris or Toulouse in three and a half hours. Limoges Bellegarde airport, half an hour from the château, has regular flights to Lyon, London, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, and the Midlands. This proximity between town and country explains the abundance of castles and manor houses found in the Briance Valley. The oldest were built by the powerful Viscounts of Limoges or by the abbots of Solignac, an important abbey on the Via Lemovicensis route to Compostela. The more recent ones, such as the property on offer, were designed as pleasant residences for the upper middle class of Limoges, who loved, and still appreciate, this charming and peaceful setting just a stone's throw from the city. Set apart from a hamlet, the chateau is a building of classical proportions flanked by two round towers with conical roofs. In the center, a detached pavilion houses the entrance and stairwell. It is topped by a portico broken by a monumental pediment dormer with a domed roof. On the opposite side, the south facade features a perfect alignment of windows on a straight facade framed by slightly protruding wings. Chain molding and bossages reinforce the impression of symmetry, which extends up to the domed dormers lighting the attic. Covered in slate, the hipped roof of the main building, like that of the entrance pavilion, is topped with a metal ridge. To the north again, a three-step staircase leads to the front door, a side door with a wooden tympanum and a protruding doorframe. From there, the ground floor comprises an entrance hall, an office with a toilet and shower, a storage room/cellar, a kitchen, a dining room, a double living room, and a library. On the same level, the towers house a bar with neo-Gothic decor in one and a boiler room in the other. With high ceilings, these two rooms occupy two levels. On the first floor : 4 large bedrooms with their own bathrooms. On the second floor : a long hallway and five beautiful bedrooms with bathrooms, one of which has a shower room and sometimes a dressing room. Two of these bedrooms are located in the towers. Under the eaves: a large open space ready to be converted. The property has a total living area of approximately 700 sqm. The outbuildings include: The Orangery, probably built in the 19th century, is the main outbuilding. On the first floor, a fully equipped reception room can seat up to 60 people. A second floor, under the eaves, is in need of restoration. Separately, the modern garage with cellar can accommodate two to three cars and the equipment needed to maintain the property. Finally, the swimming pool (12.5 x 4.5 m) is at the center of a true wellness area with its terrace and pool house equipped with a sauna. The park, covering an area of approximately 5.55 acres (2.25 hectares), forms a sort of uneven diamond shape, with its corners roughly pointing to the cardinal points. At its center, with their facades facing south, the castle and its outbuildings stand on a vast, well-kept, flower-filled lawn. All around, tall trees shelter the castle and its guests from view and noise. The land slopes very gently, but without reaching it, towards the Roselle, a tributary of the Briance. A tennis court, shaded by trees, marks the southern tip, while the wooded western side borders an invisible railway line.

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. Access from this level leads to the cellars, including a wine cellar on gravel. In the attic, a vast open-plan space of approximately 180 square metres; insulated and fitted with water and electricity connections, it is just waiting to be converted. OUTBUILDINGS : The outbuildings include a 10 x 5-metre swimming pool, treated by electrolysis, and four main buildings: - A barn converted into a reception hall meeting public access standards, with a warming-up room and toilet facilities suitable for people with reduced mobility. Above this 115 sqm hall, a space of equivalent size could be converted. - An annexe with 104 msq of living space, comprising 2 or even 3 bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, bathroom and shower room. At the rear, a kennel. - A stable block comprising outbuildings, stables and workshops. A shed used as a garage and woodshed. - The annexe and reception hall make it possible to start a commercial activity without delay. 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.
