castle with terrace for sale Crémieu, France

In Culin, near Bourgoin-Jallieu, this stone château has something magical about it. Its two wings, sweeping roofs and central tower create a distinctive home. A sundial dated 1739 catches the eye on the façade. An arrow slit, thick walls and stone surrounds recall the property’s history. These surviving details give it its authentic character. Inside, each room has its own personality. Sitting rooms, bedrooms, staircases, mezzanines and galleries make this a home full of hidden corners. It is easy to imagine choosing your bedroom, creating a reading nook or letting the children explore. Traditional French beamed ceilings, wood panelling, parquet floors and fireplaces bring the unmistakable warmth of a period home. What won me over was the sense of intimacy, despite the size of the house. With approximately 500 sq m of living space and ten bedrooms across the main residence and a separate apartment, it brings a large family together while giving everyone room of their own. There is space for extended stays, several generations living together, shared meals and quieter moments afterwards. The separate apartment also allows parents, grown-up children or friends to enjoy greater independence. The enclosed garden of almost 4,500 sq m adds to this feeling of being at home. The paved courtyard, trees, terraces and large heated swimming pool invite you to spend time outdoors. A covered entertaining area provides shelter for a long dining table, ideal for family gatherings, birthdays and leisurely lunches. This is a home where family traditions can take shape: Sunday get-togethers, holidays with the grandchildren and celebrations bringing every generation together. A family property to grow attached to, with memories to make and traditions to pass on. Approximately fifteen minutes from Bourgoin-Jallieu, its shops and railway station, the house remains within easy reach of everyday amenities. Lyon is around fifty minutes away. Nearby Lyon-Saint-Exupéry international airport and TGV station make getting together easier, even when family members live in different regions or countries. A château that has retained its character and the warmth of a family home. A place to share, entertain and feel at home.

A 19th century chateau with 14.5 hectares of grounds surrounded by verdant countryside in north-west Isère. This vast estate, extending over approx. 14.5ha of gently sloping, uninterrupted land, consists predominantly of woodlands. A shady driveway leads to a large gravel parking area to the north-west of the main building. It then continues towards a courtyard in front of the chateau, where the woods give way to a large clearing. A secondary path followed by a flight of steps lead to a swimming pool on a plateau overlooking the forest. On the other side, a small wooden chapel is tucked away beneath the trees. This was originally a forest house linked to an ancient 16th century Cistercian abbey. After the French Revolution, it was used as the home of the steward responsible for managing the national forest. In 1888, a local grandee commissioned the architect Joseph-Étienne Mallaval to build a substantial four-storey extension. The chateau, which has undergone several periods of construction and renovation, stands on the north-eastern edge of the grounds. Its most striking external architectural features are those dating from the 19th century. The distinct, homogenous volumes of each section follow one another cascading down to the outbuilding, reflecting the different periods in which they were built. The adobe, pebble, rammed earth concrete and clinker block facades are rendered. The roofs, clad with slate, monk and nun or flat 'beaver tail' tiles are in good condition; they have all been renovated, with the exception of the roof of the 19th-century main building. Today divided into various lodgings spread over three levels, the building has a total floor area of approx. 870 m². It is currently used as tourist accommodation, benefiting from one of the most peaceful environmental areas.
