castle with pool for sale Raival, France

Detailed description of 40 pages available on request. There are homes that are not merely visited: they are discovered. This one has been rooted in stone since the 14th century, at the heart of a Lorraine village, sheltered from time and the noise of the world. A former fortified manor born in the age of lords, transformed during the Age of Enlightenment into a pleasure residence, it carries within it several hundred years of history, memory and art de vivre. Location: 1 hour 20 minutes from Paris by TGV, 20 minutes from Metz and 40 minutes from the Luxembourg border, this estate, listed and registered as a Historic Monument, sits within reach of the world without being beholden to it. An exceptional Lorraine anchor, for those who know that certain stones are worth more than square footage. An arrival into History: The approach prepares the mind. A monumental 16th-century gatehouse tower, powerful and stately, welcomes the visitor with the solemnity of a place that has endured through the ages. The grooves of the former drawbridge, carved into the stone like a signature of the past, recall the original purpose of this edifice: to protect, to dominate, to endure. Past the bridge spanning the moat, the château reveals itself in the full splendour of its classical façade, nine bays of rectangular windows, impeccable symmetry, corner towers standing watch over four horizons, a perfect image of what an enlightened century could make of brute force: beauty. The seigneurial residence: The main body of the house, approximately 650 m², entirely renovated with the care such a heritage deserves, unfolds vast, light-filled spaces. The two grand reception rooms, with their period marble and stone fireplaces, invite both entertaining and quiet contemplation. The elegant and refined dining room, and the master kitchen with its large open hearth, together compose a home in which one truly lives, entertains and becomes attached. On the upper floor, six spacious bedrooms, including an exceptional master suite, offer the rest that can only be found in houses that have known how to age without being defeated. Outside, a heated swimming pool, seamlessly integrated into the architectural character of the estate, completes this art of living. The secondary house: Independent from the main building, this 171 m² house, comprising three bedrooms and a study, represents a rare opportunity: a premium character gîte, caretaker's accommodation or guest house; it broadens the range of possibilities for those who wish to bring the estate to life as much as to inhabit it. The Park, 6 hectares of green sovereignty: Enclosed and preserved, the park mirrors the château: generous, discreet, and full of depth. A pond of some forty ares, complete with its pontoon and small island, reflects the canopy of trees in every season. Two orchards planted with Lorraine varieties, apple, cherry and mirabelle plum trees, carry on an age-old fruit-growing tradition. The private woodland, finally, offers that precious solitude which can neither be bought nor rebuilt.

A 17th century chateau classed as a historic monument with a moat and 17 hectares of grounds, two hours from Paris, in Champagne . The first mention of a lord of Vitry-la-Ville dates back to the 13th century. The current building, probably built on the site of a fortified manor house, dates back to the 17th century. From the small country road that runs through the village, an avenue of lime trees leads to a rectangular area surrounded by a moat where the chateau stands. The drawbridge has been replaced by a stone bridge and a remarkable entrance gate is framed by two dovecotes. A formal French-style garden, created in the 17th century and one of the finest in the region until the 1960s, is currently being redeveloped, including a parking area for 350 vehicles next to a vast meadow. Two successive terraces provide access to the flowerbeds bordered by hornbeam hedges, the two water mirrors reflecting the building, the pond and the cross canal fed by the Guenelle river running alongside the wood.

Ref. 4306: Magnificent listed Chateau in Champagne, for sale This magnificent château is located just a few kilometers from Châlons en Champagne, in the Marne department, one of the four departments that make up the Champagne-Ardennes region. A region world-famous for its most prestigious wine, champagne! Located in a small commune of 380 inhabitants, right next to the village church. In practical terms, it's just 2 km from all the shops and services you need for everyday life. For children, there's a school bus service just outside the château. And to reach Paris by train, the station is 17 km away. XVIIth & XVIIIth century château built on the site of an ancient seigniorial house whose earliest records date back to 1264. With the evolution of time, lifestyle and taste, it has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries. In 1608, Hugues MATHE, Receiver General of Finances for the Champagne region, acquired the château and carried out major works, including the two dovecotes in the courtyard and the renovation of the main building. In 1650, he commissioned the construction of a moat around the château, and had a canal built to divert water from the nearby river. The castle's numerous drawbridges were built at this time. Hugues MATHE organized the park in parallel, calling on Jean Debar, a pupil of the talented André Le Nôtre, to design his formal gardens. In 1735, the château was purchased by François Jean-Marie MOREL, President of the Presidial Court of Châlons-en-Champagne, who restored the building from top to bottom. This date is engraved on the lintel above the entrance door. He restored the facades 'à la moderne', then added two small wings set at right-angles. Later, he carried out extensive work on the château's bridge and entrance gate. He also embellished the gardens with elegant flowerbeds, bridges and water mirrors, all embellished with attractive sculptures. Later, as a result of family alliances, the château passed into the hands of the Comtes Dubois de Riocour family. Built of chalk stone and topped with an Irish purplish slate roof, the château stands at the center of a large rectangular terre-plein surrounded by water. A footbridge spanning the moat provides access to the château's courtyard. A magnificent main gate stands at the entrance to the bridge. On either side are two two-storey square pavilions, formerly dovecotes. The château has a classic east-west orientation, ensuring maximum sunlight. The gardens are to the east and the courtyard to the west. The building is composed of a central body flanked by two wings, each of which has three storeys. Two lower, two-storey wings are attached symmetrically. These two wings are extended by two single-storey buildings framing the courtyard. This assembly creates an interesting interplay of roofs. The roofs of the two end wings are long-sloped and rise as high as the more compact roofs of the main building. Eight finials crown the building. To the north, a final two-storey extension breaks the symmetry of the château. And, at the end of this extension, a heat pump-heated swimming pool (4 x 10 meters) (64 cubic meters of water). The château and northern extension total 1,535 sqm, with a further 210 sqm of accessible undeveloped attic space and 128 sqm of non-accessible attic space in the north and south pavilions. The 595 sqm first floor is composed as follows: A main entrance with a magnificent double spiral staircase in wood and wrought-iron banisters. The vestibule's cabochon tiled floor is almost three hundred years old. On either side of this entrance are 6 large salons with wood panelling and parquet flooring in a variety of patterns (Versailles, herringbone, bâton rompu, mosaic...). The doors feature elaborate bronze fittings. They feature the Counts De Riocourt family coat of arms in the form of a crown surmounted by nine balls indicating their rank of nobility. A large, fully-equipped kitchen, 4 toilets including 2 with disabled access, numerous storerooms and anterooms. The extension comprises a large private apartment with fitted kitchen, 1 bathroom, 2 wc, 4 bedrooms, 2 offices and a laundry area.

A large garage. -North pigeon house of approx. 135 sqm on three levels: fully-equipped gîte comprising living room/kitchen, two bedrooms, two shower rooms with wc. -The south dovecote is unfinished, but with some renovation work a second 135 sqm gîte could be created. The grounds cover 42 acres, divided between the courtyard, the moat, the formal garden, which the current owners are gradually redesigning to reflect Le Nôtre's original work, and the forest with its inviting paths. Water is everywhere, providing the romantic dimension sought after by the great castellan families of past centuries. The water features have a purely decorative function and contribute to the overall harmony of the design, reflecting the architecture of the château. A private parking lot near the big top and a very large parking lot with four plots for over 350 cars.
