castle for sale Meuse, France

RAIVAL – An elegant 18th-century château in the heart of an 8.7-hectare estate Just a few minutes from Bar-le-Duc and the Meuse TGV–Lorraine TGV station—which offers access to Paris in less than an hour—and near the legendary Voie Sacrée, this remarkable 18th-century estate combines heritage, nature, and the art of living in an environment of rare tranquility. Built in the heart of an 8.7-hectare enclosed park, crisscrossed by a stream and dotted with century-old trees, footbridges, a wrought-iron gazebo, and a tennis court, the property offers nearly 732 m² of living space, comprising a main house of approximately 432 m² and an elegant detached pavilion of approximately 300 m², as well as garages, outbuildings, and an indoor swimming pool. From the moment you enter, the main house reveals the full grandeur of its architecture. Its baluster staircase, generous ceiling heights, original stone floors, marble fireplaces, trumeaux, and spacious reception areas. The reception rooms blend warmth and refinement. A winter lounge with a fireplace opens onto a spectacular summer garden bathed in light thanks to large windows overlooking the grounds. The dining room opens onto the terraces, while the kitchen blends harmoniously into the home’s layout. The sleeping quarters feature five bedrooms and several bathrooms, as well as two attic spaces with the potential to be converted into additional sleeping quarters. The entire property has been meticulously maintained.
