This historic estate presents an ideal opportunity for a large-scale hotel project. Built gradually between the 15th and 20th centuries, the property comprises five main buildings totaling 22 bedrooms and offering approximately 2,500 square meters of living space. Nestled near Chartres, a cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as the prestigious châteaux of Maintenon and Nogent-le-Rotrou, the property enjoys a strategic location. Situated in the southern Perche region, it is 10 minutes from the A10 motorway and extends over a majestic estate of approximately 42 hectares, including 23 hectares of woodland, 14 hectares of meadows, and a meticulously landscaped park. While the main structure of the estate is generally in good condition, the interiors require extensive restoration. Located on the edge of a small village, the château was built on the ruins of an earlier fortress destroyed during the Hundred Years' War. Two separate entrances provide access to the property: one, facing the village, is marked by a large wrought-iron gate leading to the former gatehouse, now converted into a spacious living room. The other entrance, opening onto the park, passes through a crenellated gatehouse surmounted by an imposing tower, nicknamed the ''water tower,'' and crosses a canal via a bridge. The buildings are arranged around a U-shaped courtyard enclosed by the Louis XVI pavilion and the outbuildings, offering breathtaking views of the park. The park itself, spanning 42 hectares, is distinguished by a monumental 200-meter terrace overlooking a verdant meadow and woodlands sheltering a variety of deciduous trees, intersected by a canal. The landscaping also includes topiary parterres of boxwood and yew, a majestic tree-lined avenue, and a one-hectare kitchen garden. The five main buildings each bear witness to several historical periods: - **The Village Pavilion**, built between the 16th and 18th centuries near the village. - **The Gatehouse or Keep**, combining elements from the 15th, 18th, and 20th centuries, linked by a medieval gallery dating from the 15th century; a residential wing was added in 1980. - **The Saint-François Tower**, dating from the 15th century. - **The Louis XVI Pavilion**, sometimes called the ''Renaissance House,'' to which is attached the La Cloche Tower, dating from the 16th century and modified in the 17th and 18th centuries. - **The outbuildings**, comprising buildings constructed between the 16th, 19th, and 20th centuries and featuring remarkable 16th-century timber frames. The location of this property is considered a major asset. Paris is only 120 kilometers away, and a motorway access point is available 16 kilometers away in the direction of the capital or 8 kilometers away in the direction of Le Mans. The neighboring town of Brou, located 8 kilometers away, offers all the necessary shops and services. Technically, the property benefits from a partial mains water supply and has a combined wastewater treatment system, including a septic tank and a connection to the public sewer system. Thus, this exceptional property combines historical heritage with potential for large-scale projects. Number of units in the condominium: 4. Average annual share of charges (estimated budget): €12,000, or €1,000 per month. The fees are payable by the seller.

2 hours from Paris and on the outskirts of Blois, a 17th century manor and its outbuildings in a wooded park. Set back from the village, the property is hidden behind large trees, away from a small road. A wrought iron gate opens onto a long driveway that winds through the woods before reaching the manor. Built in the 17th century and then altered over the centuries, the rectangular building features classic architecture, dominated by a high slate roof with four slopes. In the Louis XIII style, it is oriented northwest/southeast. The walls are plastered, and the door and window surrounds, as well as the corner chainings, are made of tuff stone. The two main facades exhibit a symmetrical composition of five bays over two levels. A wide stone cornice separates the elevations from the high slate roof, whose slopes have a slight overhang. Three gabled dormers and two zinc oculi, likely added in the 19th century, animate the roof. The side gables are topped with tall red brick chimney stacks. At the center of the main facade, facing northeast, the front door is topped with a significant heraldic pediment. Along the road, several outbuildings form a collection of structures of various sizes and periods. This includes a barn, a cottage, a caretaker's house, stables with their coachman’s quarters, as well as a vast reception hall.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Built around a central pavilion flanked by two wings, the château offers approximately 827 sqm of living space, featuring remarkable volumes and an ideal layout suited equally to a large family residence or to a hospitality or heritage investment project. The ground floor opens onto a vast, light-filled reception hall enhanced by limestone flooring and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The two wings accommodate several lounges with fireplaces, elegant reception rooms with impressive ceiling heights, and two independent kitchens, perfectly designed for family living or for event and hospitality use. The fluid circulation and multiple access points allow great flexibility of use. The upper floors provide a harmonious arrangement of bedrooms, studies, and living areas, including several suites with private bathrooms or shower rooms. Oak parquet flooring, sweeping staircases, and attic volumes further enhance the charm and authenticity of the property. The top level also offers significant additional development potential, depending on the envisioned project. The 19th-century outbuildings, totaling approximately 250 sqm on the ground, represent a major asset: offices, a former chapel, reception spaces, and attics—offering numerous possibilities for residential, professional, or tourism-related use. The estate also features a historic greenhouse, a wooden barn, a washhouse by the pond, and a tennis court in need of renovation. The 7-hectare English-style park alternates between meadows, woodland, and water features. It includes an approximately one-hectare pond fed by the Mauves River, home to waterfowl and local wildlife. Fully enclosed by walls, except for an opening onto the neighboring woods, the estate guarantees absolute privacy within an exceptional natural setting. This rare property will appeal equally to a family seeking an extraordinary place to live, rich in history and poetry, and to an investor wishing to develop a prestigious project (secondary residence, hospitality venture, events venue, institutional headquarters, or cultural project), at the gateway to one of France’s most sought-after regions.

In the south of Sologne, set within a verdant landscape, this superb château lies at the heart of a historic estate whose origins date back to the 13th century. Extending over 40 hectares, the property features a swimming pool, tennis court and numerous outbuildings, including a chapel, stables, reception house, caretaker’s house, orangery, farm with poultry yard, kennel, vegetable garden, dovecote, orchard, woodland, meadows and river. THE CHÂTEAU Behind its historic façade, adorned with refined details and 19th-century towers, the château has been fully renovated. It offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere across approximately 936 m², where original proportions and architectural features blend seamlessly with a lifestyle perfectly suited to hosting family and friends. The period features — wood panelling, parquet floors, mouldings and marble fireplaces — have been carefully preserved and are of outstanding quality. Ground Floor The original oak doors open into a beautiful entrance hall dominated by the main staircase, located within one of the towers. The former hunting room is now an elegant reception area, ideally positioned between the dining room and kitchen. Filled with natural light, the dining room, decorated in the First Empire style, enjoys direct access to the terrace as well as convenient communication with the kitchen. With its wood panelling, glazed bookcases and fireplace, the library is one of the château’s most charming rooms. An intimate and welcoming space, particularly appreciated by guests. The 40 m² drawing room opens naturally onto the garden and swimming pool, with access to a guest cloakroom. First Floor The monumental staircase leads to three beautiful reception areas: the former billiard room, now devoted to leisure activities; a spacious TV room; and the grand salon, enhanced by its grand piano. This floor also comprises five large bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and boudoir. Two of them enjoy direct access to the swimming pool. One of the bathrooms could still be redesigned to better harmonise its fittings with the classic character of the adjoining bedroom. Close to the 62 m² grand salon, a second guest cloakroom and a private corridor serve the two principal bedrooms. A staircase also leads to the second floor and onwards to the upper terrace. Fireplaces are found throughout the château, some of which are still regularly used in the reception rooms. Second Floor Formerly reserved for children’s bedrooms and staff accommodation, this level now offers four light-filled bedrooms, all enjoying exceptional views over the park. Three bedrooms have already been redecorated, two of them with their own shower rooms. The fourth has a bathroom with a bathtub installed within the tower. This bedroom also benefits from direct access to the terrace. A bright corridor serves the bedrooms and leads to the former service staircase, now used as a secondary access and as access to the swimming pool. This level also includes a former bathroom converted into a laundry room, as well as a room dedicated to linen and storage. The service staircase still requires some restoration work, but there is potential to create an additional WC in this area. Attic Spaces and Potential for Further Development Above the principal bedroom annexe, two additional bedrooms provide a more independent area. Currently unheated, they share a shower room. They could function as two bedrooms or as a bedroom with a small private sitting room. They enjoy privileged access to the terrace as well as to the private staircase leading down towards the kitchen. The glazed gallery leading to the terrace remains to be restored. With appropriate insulation and beautiful wood panelling, it could once again become a particularly elegant and light-filled passageway. Above the main body of the château, the extensive attic spaces offer tremendous potential for further development. Their generous volume could accommodate additional living areas, a games room, an office or several more bedrooms. Cellars and Technical Areas Beneath the château annexe are two large cellars, together with a beautiful wine cellar. The first houses the boiler room and wood storage. The second contains the estate’s new heating system: a water-to-water heat pump installed in 2023. A water softener was also installed in 2023, completing the property’s technical facilities. These areas are entirely dedicated to the technical infrastructure of the property, while remaining easily accessible and completely separate from the living spaces. A Home Designed for Living With its reception rooms, numerous bedrooms, independent spaces, wine cellar, terraces and uninterrupted connection with the park and swimming pool, the château possesses that rare quality found in great family estates: the ability to accommodate many people without ever compromising privacy. A place where one can entertain, share, live as a family and, in turn, write the next chapter in the history of the estate. THE OUTBUILDINGS From the moment one passes through the grand entrance gate, the estate reveals a genuine stone hamlet arranged around its historic courtyard. Former stables, a carriage house, caretaker’s houses, chapel, kennel, orangery, wash house and agricultural buildings form a remarkable ensemble, rich in heritage and full of potential. The Gate Lodge At the entrance, near the smaller gate, this former house — probably once a bakery and later accommodation for the dog keeper — is currently used for storage. It could easily be converted into a caretaker’s house, an office or even a small shop. The Kennel At the centre of the courtyard, the remarkable stone kennel retains its rounded enclosure and wrought-iron gate. Above the door, a tufa-stone bas-relief depicts two hunting dogs, a reminder of the estate’s historic sporting and hunting vocation. The recently cleared paved courtyard is now surrounded by roses, lavender and perennial plants. The Caretaker’s House On the other side of the kennel, this independent house comprises a kitchen, living room with an original wood-burning stove, bathroom and, upstairs, two bedrooms, a shower room and a large additional space. An exterior covered area provides parking for several vehicles or storage for firewood. The Coach House The former carriage house contains three garages on the ground floor, one of which could be converted into a reception room, yoga studio or event space. Upstairs, four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms surround a large living area with an open-plan kitchen and fireplace. The building enjoys views over the park and dovecote, as well as a private garden with a barbecue area and pétanque court. The Seigniorial Chapel Probably built in the 15th century, or possibly earlier, the chapel retains numerous reminders of its long history. An inscription dated 1546 above the door bears witness to the exceptional age of the site. The Stables and Agricultural Buildings The stables have retained their four original stalls and four loose boxes. The initials of the de Lestang family can still be seen on the tiles above the feeding troughs. Beyond them are a hay barn, former dairy, laundry room with bread oven, potato store and former cowshed. Part of the roofing has already been restored; the roof of the former cowshed still requires work. The entire complex offers remarkable equestrian potential, with the possibility of additional boxes, an arena within the courtyard and paddocks in the surrounding meadows. The Orangery Located beside the vegetable garden, the former orangery has been converted into a charming independent residence comprising two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and living area. Its large windows overlook the river and the octagonal dovecote. Upstairs, a generous space remains to be converted and could accommodate additional living areas and a terrace. The Wash House Beside the river, the former wash house retains its two fireplaces and traditional architecture. With its central water channel, it could become a unique little retreat in the heart of the estate. The Garden House Finally, in the middle of the vegetable garden, the small 19th-century garden house adds a final touch of charm to this remarkable ensemble. More than simply a collection of outbuildings, this is a genuine historic hamlet, offering its future owner a multitude of possibilities: accommodating guests, working, entertaining, developing an equestrian activity or simply bringing each building back to life at its own pace.

Built at the end of the 19th century, in the heart of the Loire Valley, this remarkable 558 m2 property elegantly overlooks a landscaped park of over 4 hectares, beautifully planted with century-old trees. Transformed into a hotel in the 1980s, the property was also the last home of Mme Donnadieu, mother of the writer Marguerite Duras. A true witness of the Belle Époque, this pleasure castle has retained all the elegance of its original architecture, as well as the timeless charm and refined atmosphere that characterize this period. From the entrance, a vast hall distributes large reception rooms offering remarkable brightness, enhanced by their carefully preserved period architectural elements and opening onto the park. A superb solid wood staircase leads to the upper floors, where fourteen generously sized bedrooms unfold, each with its own private bathroom and offering magnificent views of the wooded estate. The service areas harmoniously complete the ensemble with a professional kitchen, a laundry room, a boiler room, cellars, a lounge, several bedrooms, and a bathroom, allowing for both hotel operation and an exceptional family residence. Within the park, an independent guardian's house of 160 m2 accommodates three bedrooms and a family suite, providing additional accommodation potential. It also has a private apartment consisting of a lounge, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, three bedrooms, and an attic. Surrounded by preserved nature, this property forms a rare ensemble, steeped in serenity, where heritage, space, and numerous development possibilities combine to bring all projects to life. Just 15 minutes from Blois and Amboise, in the heart of the prestigious landscape of the châteaux of the Loire, this estate offers an ideal balance between the tranquility of a green environment, proximity to shops, and quick access to the train station.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Fabulous 15th-century castle fully restored on a 100-hectare enclosed forest estate. Built in 1475 at the initiative of Sir François de Gebert, the castle was erected on the site of a 13th-century fortress, of which only a cylindrical tower and remnants of a surrounding wall remain today. Marshals, captains, and marquises succeeded each other until 1865 when the Marquis de Moges and his wife undertook significant restorations. It then became an orphanage, then a Family House, before becoming a hotel restaurant and today a private estate. No disturbances, the castle is at the center of its enclosed forest estate of 96 hectares, twenty minutes from Tours, with motorway access and all amenities 5 km away. The castle: ground floor: an entrance, two large living rooms, one with a large period fireplace, professional kitchen, office. Floors: 13 suites with private bathroom and toilet. A sumptuous restored chapel. Numerous outbuildings including a magnificent orangery totaling 15 bedrooms and bathrooms. A caretaker's house.
