The main shops and services are around ten kilometres away in a small, dynamic and historic Sologne town. Golf and other outdoor activities are also nearby. Built over a mezzanine floor, the château is constructed of rendered rubble stone and topped with a pavilion-style, three-sloped slate roof. It comprises a square body with an imposing pavilion, half of which is built into the structure, a four-sided tower, also half of which is built into the structure, and a cylindrical tower above the structure. The frames and quoins are in red brick with pointing, giving the building a certain elegance. A projecting string course surrounds the building, marking the separation between the ground and ground floors and giving rhythm to the façade. The half-hipped dormers on the first floor are topped with a zinc finial, demonstrating the building's attention to detail. The attic floor is pierced with skylights to let in natural light. The building faces north-east/south-west and spans approx. 700 sqm of living space over three stories: Ground floor : A vast gallery entrance of almost 30 sqm, with cement tiles on the floor and picture rails on the ceiling, sets the scene. It opens onto a pleasant billiard room on the right and a bright, spacious study on the left, with its herringbone parquet flooring and marble fireplace. Towards the south-west, a splendid lounge (45 sqm, 4 m high ceilings) bathed in light provides a warm, soothing atmosphere that every guest will appreciate. This is followed by a large hall with the start of a beautiful solid oak winding staircase, then a corridor leading to a second, more intimate sitting room with views over the parklands. This is followed by the dining room with its trumeau over the marble fireplace, its picture rails and its bow window giving it an uninterrupted view over the parklands. A pleasant, double-exposed kitchen of almost 30 sqm with a central island completes the western layout. It has direct access to the outside from the small circular tower. To the east are a laundry room and a toilet, as well as the start of a secondary staircase.

The neighbouring bedroom, facing south-west, has a suspended balcony with wrought-iron railings. There are also two shower rooms and separate wc. The second floor : even though it is under the rafters, it is still very spacious. There are three bedrooms, a bathroom, wc, an artist's studio with a floor surface area of more than 40 sqm and various other rooms. The latter, currently used for storage, could easily be converted into bedrooms as they already have all the comforts required for such use. The mezzanine floor contains cellars, a boiler room, a laundry room and storage rooms. The property is in good condition and offers excellent conversion potential.

The swimming pool uses salt water and is heated by its own oil-fired boiler. After a long, straight, gravelled driveway, more than 500 m long, in the middle of the woods, you reach the entrance gate to the property. The enchanting backdrop is a magnificent château set in 1.65 hectares of fully enclosed landscaped parklands. The gardens, a subtle blend of geometry and romanticism, offer idyllic perspectives that captivate the eye. Here, the flowerbeds compete in colour with the seasons, while the paths lined with trees and pruned bushes invite you to stroll and contemplate. In the evening, the park's lighting, rivalled by that of the moon, offers an altogether different setting, but one that is just as pleasing to the eye. A well with a submersible pump provides automatic watering for the various fruit trees, shrubs and flowers. In addition to its refined gardens, the property enjoys the immense privilege of benefiting from the natural protection of more than 200 hectares of thick woodland, giving it perfect privacy, but without the burden of maintenance, as it belongs to an adjoining owner. This place, deeply rooted in its terroir, seems to breathe the soul of its history and no nuisance disturbs the beauty of the surroundings.

A Neo-Louis XIII chateau dating from the late 19th century, with its outbuildings, set in 4 hectares of grounds between Blois and Amboise, around 200 km from Paris. A wrought iron gate leads into the property. Guarded and bordered by yew hedges, the impressive ironwork opens onto a stately driveway lined with centuries-old oak trees forming a thick screen of greenery. At first sight the chateau shows its full splendour: a large, projecting central section, stone balusters encircling the esplanade, a wing to the left and two to the right, one of which is slightly smaller. Next to the traditional Louis XIII-style building, there is a more modern extension. Built in 1898, some twenty years after the Republicans came to power, the chateau was commissioned by an officer whose family descended from a regiment of dragoons under the Ancien Régime and had prospered since their ennoblement under the First Empire. In the 20th century, the chateau enjoyed renewed splendour, although this was interrupted during the Occupation when it was requisitioned by the Germans. After D-Day and during the early days of the Liberation, American troops stayed here. During the French colonial wars, the chateau was inhabited by the mother of a famous writer. As part of the French government's 'civilising' mission, young Indochinese were brought here to learn French language and culture. Finally, in 1980, the chateau was bought by its current inhabitants. Major modernisation work was carried out, while taking care to preserve the original authenticity of the building erected towards the end of the 19th century. The chateau and its terrace, built on the highest hillside, dominate the vast landscape to the south. Protected by a canopy of fragrant greenery, the building sits at the heart of elegantly designed parklands. A gravel walkway surrounds the entire property. Beyond the fence, the nearby forest stretches as far as the eye can see. Finally, at the bottom of the highest part of the grounds, there is a former outbuilding that has been converted into a guest house. Here, the gently sloping parkland affords sweeping views of the surrounding area.

This property is situated in the heart of Sologne, a region of woods and ponds renowned for its sumptuous hunting grounds and estates, and bordering Touraine with the Loire Valley and its châteaux, symbols of the French art of living. In the heart of an unspoilt forest, just outside the village accessible by a discreet lane, the château stands in its own setting, out of sight and out of mind. The moat surrounds a quadrangular platform that was once surrounded by high curtain walls and flanked by four corner towers. Today, only one of these remains and it stands to the east. The drawbridge, now dormant, leads to the châtelet, flanked by two horseshoe-shaped towers with crossbars guarding the entrance. An adjoining building houses the vaulted guards' room, one of the listed historic buildings. Once through the gateway, the medieval, defensive aspect of the north face gives way to an open, light-filled courtyard. The keep is impressively high. Refurbishments carried out over the last century have brought comfort and functionality to this brick-walled building, built between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and arranged around a central staircase in a square tower. The monumental fireplaces in the dining room and sitting room are superb. The consecrated chapel, luminous with its large stained glass windows, is also listed. On five floors, the living rooms give way to bedrooms and utility rooms. Part fortress, part manor house, this is a unique residence. Moats, barbicans, crossbars, machicolations, keep, mullioned windows and ornamental shells fortify and dress up this charming castle, forming a perfect ensemble in typical Solognot style. Outside the moat, the outbuildings were restored in the 20th century and house numerous bedrooms, garages, utility rooms, a caretaker's cottage, etc. In the grounds, the vegetable garden has been laid out with numerous flowerbeds.
