castles with terrace for sale Saint-Etienne-de-Saint-Geoirs, France

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.

Backed by a wooded hill, with panoramic views of the Ardèche Mountains, a 16th-century Provençal castle in an 8-hectare estate. Access to the estate from the road is ensured by a large porch with stone pillars, a tiled roof, and a painted wooden gate, which opens onto a pebbled and landscaped inner courtyard. On the right side, a small French garden adorned with white roses adds refinement to the building. It is a typical castle of the 16th-century Provençal style, restored to preserve its authentic Ardèche character. Raised over two stories, one of which is convertible under the eaves, and oriented north-south, the residence features sober facades in dressed stone coated with lime, straight bays framed in white and fitted with painted wooden shutters in green, and finally, roofs with two or four panes of canal tiles bordered by three rows of tile overhangs. It is flanked by concrete terraces on the south and west. The eastern wing, connected to the castle by its northeast corner, houses a caretaker's accommodation and a loft with an orangery on two levels. Forming an L-shaped building extended by a paved terrace to the south, it displays, like the main body, the architectural characteristics typical of Provençal houses: plastered stone facades and country tiles with one or two slopes. The wing, once a stable for horses, was indeed built at the same time as the castle and later transformed into an orangery. The built complex is surrounded by a 1-hectare park, which includes trimmed hedges, a Japanese pond, a pool with views over the Payre valley, and an old tennis court. Traversed by hiking trails, a forest of oaks borders it, providing an ideal setting for nature lovers. For over 20 years, after about ten years of work, the castle has become a guesthouse with seven rooms, five of which are equipped for hosting, with private amenities. Its interior spaces blend antique furniture, delicate bedspreads, and lime-painted walls, which enhance the charm of the living areas. All roofs and the insulation of the upper floor were redone a few years ago. All windows are double-glazed.This description has been automatically translated from French.

EXCLUSIVE. Lots of character and ancient history in this medieval castle just 10 mins from the Rhône valley and the motorways. Overlooking the Chomérac valley without any nuisance, the fortress built in a park of nearly one hectare has basalt stone defense walls 160 cm high. The environment is exceptional and the view unobstructed over the Ardèche mountains. Rare in our region, the square central building is flanked by 4 habitable towers. 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. The 4 towers are fitted out. West-facing terrace of 80 m2 overlooking the park as well as a superb terrace to the North. To complete this exceptional property, 2 independent gites including a disabled person. A fully equipped reception room allows the organization of weddings and seminars. The covered swimming pool embellishes the superb park. Looted and damaged by the Duke of Montmorancy in 1628, then during the French Revolution, the castle gradually regained a certain splendor in the 20th century. It is now up to you to make it last in history.
