castle with pool for sale Vivy, France

Ref.4213: Charming chateau for sale close to Saumur. This beautiful property, whose origins date back to the 15th century, is located in the Loire Valley, famous for its wine production, its cellars dug into the tufa rock, its history and its châteaux. The region has seen a fortunate succession of lordly families whose history has contributed to the heritage of Anjou. Having put down roots in this culturally rich and dynamic environment, the town nevertheless enjoys a certain tranquillity, being isolated from the outside world by a natural green setting. The main shops are just a 3-minute drive away, in the neighbouring village. The town of Saumur, with its famous cavalry school, is 10 minutes away, offering all the shops, services and tourist activities you could wish for. Surrounded by a moat, the château stands elegantly back from an imposing main courtyard, which is accessed via a majestic wrought iron gate from a long driveway lined with old trees. Built of tufa stone with slate roofs on an irregular three-storey plan, this complex comprises a main building framed by two pavilions flanked by corbelled turrets, extended to the west by a two-storey pleasure building and to the east by a three-storey pavilion. The latter was added in the second half of the 19th century. In the centre, in front of the main building, a remarkable tufa porch topped by a terrace surrounded by magnificent balusters forms the main entrance to the château. The neo-Gothic style, characterised by the exuberance of Renaissance splendour, was used extensively to decorate the building. The façades, doors, windows, pediments, pinnacles, dormer windows and turrets are adorned with finials, bracketed and drip lintels, clerestory friezes, crenellations, chimeras, coats of arms, etc... The interior style is also largely inspired by the somewhat fanciful architectural codes used in the first half of the 19th century. Ground floor: passing through the porch, one reaches the entrance from where an L-shaped gallery leads from the older main part of the château on one side to the more recent 19th century pavilion on the other. Opposite the entrance is a study, followed on its right by a series of rooms in a row, a dining room, a large recent kitchen with direct access to the courtyard of honour, a scullery, a boiler room and a storeroom, while following the gallery on its left one reaches a spacious, more classical lounge before arriving in the 19th century pavilion. This central section features beautiful polychrome cement tile, parquet and marble floors, panelled picture rails, beautifully crafted stained glass windows and wooden shutters, monumental tufa stone fireplaces, a marble fireplace and admirable painted and illuminated ceilings. The 19th-century pavilion houses a vast VIP lounge with a parquet floor, a wooden fireplace carved with sophisticated ornamentation, impressive stained glass windows and a ceiling with closoirs. Finally, a gallery connects the 19th-century pavilion to the main gallery via an attractive, light-filled glass roof overlooking the kitchen garden to the south. The upper floors are accessed from the south end of the gallery via a beautiful spiral staircase with impressive wooden balusters, rising to the roof and topped by an imposing cupola. On the first floor: a landing leads to a gallery with five north-facing bedrooms on either side, each with its own bathroom, dressing room and storage space.
