Ref.4478 : Beautiful french chateau for sale in Sologne. In Sologne, in the department of Cher, at the gateway to the Pays Fort Sancerrois, stands this sublime château nestling in the heart of a private contiguous forest of over 200 hectares. The silence here is so perfect that it becomes music to the soul, soothing any inner turmoil. And yet, despite being protected from any nuisance, the property is only twenty kilometres or so from Salbris and Vierzon stations, making it possible to reach the capital in 1hr 30mins and 1hr 40mins respectively. 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. On the first floor : a landing leads to a large corridor with 6 bedrooms on either side, including a large master suite with its own bathroom and dressing room, as well as private wc in the tower. The south-east-facing bedroom offers the luxury of access to a roof terrace bordered by square pear-shaped balusters with a square base and rounded pedestal and spine. 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. Outbuildings : To the north-west of the château is a comfortable caretaker's cottage which, although built in the 21st century, respects the château's architectural style. The walls are rendered and covered with a slate roof. The ground floor comprises a living room with open-plan kitchen and separate toilet. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, wc and a bathroom. It has electric heating, Polyvinyl chloride double-glazed windows and an independent drainage system. The building also houses two enclosed garages and, adjoining them, a lean-to with an electric charging point for two additional vehicles. To the south is a splendid 11 x 5 m swimming pool, built in 2000 and covered by an elegant 19 x 8 m conservatory-style glass roof. 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. RENTAL SITUATION : The 208 hectares surrounding the property are currently rented by the owners of the château under a hunting lease for an annual sum of €17,800. This lease can be transferred according to the wishes of each party. Cabinet LE NAIL – Loiret - Sologne – M.

50 pages présentation on request. Sologne - Elegant château at the heart of a remarkable woodland estate Nestled in the heart of a remarkable woodland park and adjoining a vast private forest, this sublime Sologne château embodies the art of living in all its splendour. Here, silence is a sanctuary, not an absence, but the gentle breath of a majestic, unspoiled nature. Built at the end of the 19th century at the request of the Marquis de Dreux-Brézé, this elegant château exudes a rare refinement. Its asymmetrical façades, two square towers, a round tower, a bow window, a grand terrace and a balcony, play with light and perspective, while its interiors, bathed in natural light, breathe sophistication: ornate mouldings, wood panelling, functional marble fireplaces, original parquet floors, encaustic cement tiles… Period features have been carefully preserved, while modern amenities blend in seamlessly: four bathrooms including one with a hydrotherapy bath, a fully equipped kitchen, fibre-optic broadband and a connected alarm system. Spanning nearly 750 m² of living space across four levels, the property offers 25 rooms including up to 14 bedrooms, generous proportions and excellent scope for further customisation. The entire property is in outstanding condition, from the slate roof down to the cellars. The art of Sologne living extends naturally outdoors. The 1.65-hectare landscaped park, fully enclosed, blends romance and formal design: century-old trees, an orchard, flower beds, shaded pathways and evening lighting. A heated saltwater swimming pool, sheltered beneath an elegant winter-garden-style glass canopy, completes this idyllic setting. The property also benefits from a high-quality caretaker's cottage (4 bedrooms, sleeping up to 10), in perfect condition. Rental opportunity of a hunting ground : The 208 hectares of land adjoining the property, not included in the sale, are subject to a hunting lease available for a very reasonable annual amount This opportunity offers the buyer the possibility of extending their domain of use and hunting across a particularly game-rich territory. A rare privilege given the space and quality of hunting on offer. And a financial opportunity not to be overlooked: the forthcoming sale of this land could allow future owners to unite the château and forest into an ensemble whose overall value would far exceed the combined acquisition cost. Finally, the property remains remarkably well connected: Paris is 200 km away, Sancerre just 30 minutes, and the countless châteaux of the Loire Valley are close at hand. A rare property, where heritage, nature and the good life converge. This version flows a little more naturally than the previous one as the source text itself was slightly tightened. Let me know if you'd like any further tweaks!

This property is located at the gates of Salbris, in the department of Loir et Cher, about 2 hours from Paris. This castle is the oldest family estate in Sologne. It was rebuilt in the 17th century on the foundations of an old feudal castle and was passed down from father to son over several generations. Quietly located, it has beautiful, very bright reception rooms, and a magnificent chapel decorated with stained glass windows. The floor consists of 9 bedrooms and many bathrooms, all benefiting from a view of the woods and the river which border this beautiful building. The partially renovated outbuildings offer very good accommodation possibilities and the possibility of creating reception rooms. A swimming pool as well as boxes for horses complete this beautiful set. DPE:G/G Well presented by Martial RENAUD +33(0)6 12 94 84 59
