A 19th-century Palladian chateau, its outbuildings, tree-filled grounds, a swimming pool and vegetable garden, on the border of the Corrèze and Cantal departments. Seen from above, the chateau’s footprint is a reminder that it was built below the vestiges of a fortified castle constructed around 1470, which once belonged to the same family. Located on the outskirts of the village and nestled within a verdant setting, from its entrance gate, a lane skirts the grounds’ immense expanses of lawn before arriving at the chateau. Steeped in the heritage of French Palladian dwellings from the early 19th century, when Palladio’s influence was combined with local classicism, the use of carefully dressed blonde stone and the regularity of the stonework conveys the desire to make the building as durable as possible, according to a rational architectural ideal, while its white louvred shutters help lighten the chateau’s overall and impressive heft. Surrounded by a wide array of tall trees: limes, thuyas, beeches and different resinous varieties, directly opposite the chateau, several metres from the swimming pool and skirting a portion of the wall that separates the property from a private drive, a perennial flowerbed is planted with rosebushes in an array of shimmering colours. In addition, a barn, adjacent to the chateau, is used as a garage and the machine room for the swimming pool, while, set back at a distance, a small 16th-century manor house, with its own garden and a central staircase tower, abuts the grounds’ southern entrance. As for the grounds, they include a variety of different spaces, such as a vegetable garden, a piece of land zoned for construction and two grassy plots, whereas four agricultural parcels with two barns, each with 400 m², can be purchased with the property at an additional price.

In Haute-Corrèze, on the edge of a village, a 15th-century restored castle, with outbuildings and ponds, on a 73-hectare estate, more than 21 hectares of which are woods and land. The castle, whose oldest parts date back to the 15th century, was built on the probable site of a feudal motte from the 9th century. Its layout essentially follows the structure of the medieval walls, documented since the 13th century, which still organizes the site today. The north facade faces the village church and a neo-Gothic chapel of the estate built in 1898. It is integrated into the enclosing wall, which extends east and west and delineates immediate access to the property. Two gates provide access to the estate. To the northeast, the first leads to the gardens, parking areas, annex buildings, a swimming pool, and a passage to an honor courtyard. The second gate opens onto a driveway that runs along the western side of the castle to the honor courtyard. The stone facades and slates from Travassac have undergone complete restoration. The gravel honor courtyard is bordered by the two main wings, also called the "small" and "large" parts, built with three levels and arranged at a right angle. The courtyard is closed off to the south by a fortified wall that overlooks a zone of dry moats. The two wings are separated by a passageway that connects the courtyard to the back of the castle, its dependencies, gardens, and swimming pool. The small part extends along a north-south axis around a rectangular building flanked by a residential tower. The large part, oriented east-west, consists of several buildings and towers, including a spiral staircase tower and a square tower marking the angle of the right angle. To the south, an inner enclosing wall marks the transition to the estate's land and contributes to the staging of the castle, established as a belvedere. It is punctuated by stone staircases and, near the swimming pool, by a circular turret with a pepper-box roof.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 17th-century chateau and its 39-hectare estate listed as a historic monument 30 minutes from Lyon. Built between 1608 and 1616 on a former castle motte acquired by Jean Sève, Lyon's Receiver General of Finances, and accessible via a drawbridge, the chateau's architecture is distinctive due to its perfect symmetry. It has three storeys, with cellars and attic space in the main central part of the building. This part is flanked on either side by two wings, each topped by a hipped roof with rolled eaves, and by two projecting corner towers topped by square-based convex arched roofs, also with rolled eaves. The north and south facades of the main building have large mullioned windows with small panes, with seven windows from the ground floor to the second floor. The slate, hipped roof of the main building features three pediment dormers to the north and south - one in the centre with an arched pediment and the others with a triangular pediment. On either side, the windows on the wings and towers are the same type and height as those on the main building. The roofs are different. Some of them need renovation - those above the towers and the central building. If the building’s shape seems is surprising and the size of the wings seems modest compared to that of the central body, it is because the body houses a very large former Calvinist temple on the second floor, illuminated by seven windows on each facade. It was one of the 'fief temples' that France tolerated on its territory after the Edict of Nantes, on condition that they remained discreet. Three dormer windows to the south and north, unique because of their unusual size and their Holy Trinity symbols, were and remain, the only external sign of this on the building. A moat surrounds the chateau and the outbuildings. The property is enhanced by outbuildings such as a caretaker's cottage and a farmhouse with a swimming pool in its walled square courtyard. Lastly, a fountain consisting of a basin adorned by three marmosets from the park at Vaux-le-Vicomte stands in the centre of a circular pool, beyond a large terraced flowerbed, in front of the chateau’s south facade.
