Remarkable decorative features: fireplaces, wood panelling, high ceilings, terracotta and chequered floors, parquet flooring.
Next to the castle: caretaker's cottage awaiting renovation of approx. 100 m² (1,076 sq ft) (lounge and 4 bedrooms) and large sheds that could accommodate a wood chip heating system to replace the castle's current heating system.
A little way away, with its own private access: a comfortable, typical 60's villa with approx. 280 m² (2,076 sq ft) of living space, complete with a full basement and adjoining 2-car garage.
A very well-designed house, including noble materials in keeping with the chateau, which is a listed historic monument; a functional residence, for which thermal comfort and decoration works are to be planned.
The grounds, covering a total area of 14.41 ha, include approx. 4 ha of beautiful parklands with superb ornamental trees, an old swimming pool, a pond and a vegetable garden-orchard, as well as two large plots of meadowland leased under a rural lease and separated by a beautiful tree-lined driveway.
This remarkable property, steeped in French history, is ideal for both private and professional use.
This excellent property is set in a bucolic environment with all the amenities of the town of Roanne just 10 km away and its airfield within easy reach.
The property has been classified as a Historic Monument since 1927, in recognition of the exceptional character of this fine group of buildings, and an invitation to take long-term care of it thanks to the tax benefits associated with this status.
