It offers a pleasant living environment while being within easy reach of shops, schools, and services in nearby towns, all accessible in less than 5 kilometers. Not far away, Orléans, classified as a City of Art and History, displays all the dynamism and influence of a regional metropolis.

It offers a full range of shops, services, cultural institutions, and infrastructure, meeting both everyday needs and the pleasures of discovery. Its privileged location, about an hour from Paris, further enhances its appeal, allowing for a perfect balance between life in the open air and easy access to the capital. Thus, the property strikes a rare balance between generous nature and the immediate proximity to a vibrant and connected urban center. This rural yet strategic location gives the entire estate a privileged character, making it a highly sought-after and exceptional property. The property is centred around an elegant Neo-Louis XIII-style château, built of brick and enhanced by corner quoins and limestone window and door frames. The building is topped with a hipped slate roof. Facing north-south, the residence has a harmonious and balanced architecture, consisting of a slightly protruding central section with a staircase and terrace, flanked by two side wings. It rises over two main levels punctuated by thirteen bays, topped by an attic floor pierced by dormer windows with rounded and triangular pediments, giving the whole a classic and refined appearance. With approximately 660 sqm of living space, the château is laid out as follows: On the ground floor, the main entrance opens onto: To the west, a corridor leading to a landing marked by the start of a monumental stone staircase. This level features a small lounge of approximately 20 sqm with a remarkable ceiling height of 4.5 metres, a large lounge of 32.5 sqm, a cloakroom and toilets. To the east, a large 47 sqm dining room, extended by a 22.5 sqm lounge. A landing with a staircase also leads to a 33 sqm library and a service entrance, allowing for smooth circulation between the reception areas. On the first floor, organised around a long central corridor leading to: To the west, two bedrooms measuring 24 and 28 sqm, a bathroom and a room with a staircase providing access to the accommodation in the outbuildings.

It houses an old oil-fired generator, now out of service, as well as various technical rooms. OUTBUILDINGS : The numerous outbuildings contribute greatly to the character and potential of the estate. Most of them have been converted into rental accommodation and form a coherent whole, structured around a large communal courtyard. 1) A large U-shaped outbuilding Located in the western extension of the chateau, this complex is built in traditional masonry with plaster rendering, embellished with brick and limestone window and door frames, and covered with a synthetic slate roof.
