A listed historical monument castle with vast outbuildings and 33-hectare grounds in the Centre-Val de Loire region. In the 15th century, a companion in arms and adviser to Louis XI built a sumptuous keep close to the original fortified manor house. In the 16th century, his descendants had four wings added to the original structure, featuring the Italianate galleries that are the hallmark of the present-day castle. One of these galleries was removed during the French Revolution, opening up the view over the grounds, while another of these wings was completely transformed into a corps-de-logis in the 19th century. The three remaining wings are thus arranged around an open courtyard, flanked by three round towers and the imposing former square keep at the corners. Standing near to the castle, the outbuildings form a long complex of 17th-century buildings. On three sides, they enclose a vast farmyard, in the centre of which stood the parish church until the 18th century, when it was moved to the village. The remains of a ditch and a drawbridge suggest that the complex was surrounded by a moat. The grounds extend beyond the complex, crossed by the river and featuring a 4-hectare lake with its landing stage and hut. The property's 35 hectares are entirely walled, with a turret seemingly standing guard at each corner. Two high entrance gates open onto the village, one in front of the castle and the other opposite the outbuildings. A third gate provides access to a country lane running along the perimeter wall.

Ref.4934 : Beautiful neoclassical château overlooking exceptional English-style parkland, with a pond, gîte and equestrian outbuildings near Bourges In the heart of France, the property is ideally located three and a half hours from Paris and forty-five minutes from Bourges, sometimes referred to as the "capital of the Berry." The main reference town for the property, Bourges is a major city of art and history at the centre of a vibrant economic area where the aerospace and defence industries are particularly well represented. Named European Capital of Culture for 2028, its historic centre and shopping district boast outstanding landmarks such as the Palais Jacques-Cœur, a masterpiece of Flamboyant Gothic architecture, and Saint-Étienne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located a little further south, the château is well connected to the transport network by a major motorway. The A71, known as "L'Arverne," is close by, offering easy access to Paris to the north via Orléans, and to Clermont-Ferrand to the south, and beyond to Montpellier. The area surrounding the estate is known as the Boischaut Sud, a natural region covering the southern parts of the Indre and Cher departments. Here, the gently rolling plains of the Paris Basin meet the more pronounced foothills of the Massif Central. The landscapes are green, wooded or criss-crossed with hedgerows, with a discreet yet enduring charm. This is "the Berry that takes hold of you and never lets go," as described by George Sand, a native of the region. Fifteen minutes from the property, Saint-Amand-Montrond offers all the necessary amenities (shops, doctors, schools and a hospital). The town is known as France's third-largest centre for gold jewellery manufacturing, after Paris and Lyon. An exhibition venue, the Cité de l'Or, showcases this tradition, established in the late 19th century to serve the great names of the Place Vendôme. Near Saint-Amand, Noirlac Abbey, a jewel of Cistercian architecture, is another major cultural landmark in the region. And for younger visitors, Sam Parc is one of the best amusement parks in the Centre-Val de Loire region. A little further on lies Lignières, a small town well known to horse and donkey lovers. Visitors come to explore the Pôle du Cheval et de l'Âne (Horse and Donkey Centre) or to enjoy the thrill of the fine Lignières-en-Berry racecourse, which offers enthusiasts a long season of equestrian events each year (trotting, flat racing and steeplechase) from March to November. The château is approached along a long, straight drive that runs through the wooded part of the estate. Rising over two storeys plus an attic floor beneath a slate-covered hipped roof, the house is distinguished by its many windows, no fewer than seven per floor, all perfectly aligned. Light floods into this "glass house," a strikingly avant-garde design for its time. A glass canopy over the entrance further enhances this sense of lightness. On the other side, the east façade, also pierced by seven windows per floor, features a projecting three-bay central section crowned by a classical triangular pediment with an oculus. On the ground floor of this projection, three arched openings are separated by engaged Doric columns supporting a plain entablature bearing a coat of arms. Above, the three first-floor windows are topped by carved window heads that echo and embellish the motif of the Doric capital. At the foot of the façade, a balustraded terrace flanked by right-angled staircases offers an exceptional view over the English-style park and its lake below. Returning to the west façade, the house is entered through a hall with a reception area framed by paired columns, leading to the grand turning staircase that serves the upper floors; WC. On the ground floor, all the rooms interconnect in a circular sequence: a large study, a very bright drawing room with a painted ceiling and fireplace, a dining room with a Louis XIV fireplace opening onto the terrace and garden, a kitchen, a butler's pantry and a private sitting room. On the first floor, a fine landing with paired columns and light wood flooring, serving three bedrooms, each with its own shower room or bathroom, and a two-bedroom suite, one with a bathroom and the other with a shower room. On the second floor, beneath the eaves: a landing leading to a large media room, two bedrooms with shower rooms, and a large gym with its own separate shower room. On the lower ground floor, set in the raised basement: a beautiful vaulted kitchen, laundry room, boiler room, wine cellar, larder and cellars. Outbuildings : The property includes a large number of outbuildings, the main ones being: A very attractive gîte with swimming pool, set apart but enjoying lovely views over the park, comprising a living room with kitchenette and wood-burning stove, three bedrooms, a laundry room, a wheelchair-accessible shower room, and a heated outdoor swimming pool measuring 10 by 5 metres with safety fencing. A caretaker's house at the entrance to the property, in need of renovation. Of approximately 60 sqm, it comprises a kitchen, sitting room, bedroom and shower room. Wood heating. A dovecote now used as a guest house, with sitting room, kitchen, one bedroom, a chapel in the basement and a terrace. A 1970s stable block with ten working loose boxes (plus five older loose boxes in the stable building). A fine 19th-C. stable building with four garages, loose boxes and a groom's flat in need of restoration. An orangery of approximately 30 sqm, in good overall condition. Various other buildings across the property: two metal barns, a former kennel and small animal sheds, a second dovecote, a former farm building, a pigsty, a cowshed, an aviary, a woodshed and a gardener's hut. These buildings are in serviceable condition. LAND : The grounds, extending to some 51 acres in total, include a splendid 22-acre landscaped park, criss-crossed by fine paths and dotted with magnificent specimen trees. Wherever one wanders, every vista is a delight. Also within the park, a charming swimming pond of approximately 1100 sqm, with a jetty on stilts, stretches out at the foot of the house. Five acres of woodland and some 22 acres of open meadows, ideal for horses, complete the estate. A virtual tour is available on request.

Ref.4905 : Elegant 18th-C. Chateau in the Brenne region of Berry, featuring guesthouses and stables This elegant property is located three and a half hours from the capital, in the heart of the Brenne, the “Land of a Thousand Ponds.” The Brenne is a natural region renowned for its unspoiled wilderness and exceptional biodiversity, designated as a Regional Nature Park. This region offers a wide range of opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Birdwatchers come from all over the world to observe waterfowl and migratory birds, while hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders enjoy the trails winding through the ponds. Hunting enthusiasts also find ideal terrain here, provided they practice responsible hunting. La Brenne is not only a nature reserve but also a vibrant region where nature and human activity have coexisted in harmony for centuries. It is an area known for livestock farming and fish farming, whose products are integral to the local cuisine. In this regard, the Michelin-starred Maison Dallais (La Promenade restaurant) is just thirty minutes away. In this area of scattered settlements, the property, nestled in its own grounds on the edge of a hamlet, enjoys absolute tranquility just three and a half hours from Paris. Nearby, just a few minutes from the château, lies Le Blanc, a charming little town with all the necessary shops and services. Just a little further on, in the beautiful Creuse Valley, Fontgombault Abbey is home to a vibrant Benedictine community. And less than thirty minutes away, heading toward Poitou, lies the spa town of La Roche-Posay, whose waters treat the most common skin conditions. The world-famous cosmetics of the same name are produced there. Poitiers, a major regional, university, and commercial city, is the area’s main hub. It’s just over an hour away. The orientation of the house has no doubt changed over time, as it is likely that the main entrance was previously through what is now the park. Indeed, the five-bay façade on this side has been given a more prestigious treatment than its counterpart on the courtyard side. Two ornate bossages, imitating columns, frame a magnified central bay. On the ground floor, the jambs of the entrance bay take the form of fluted columns supporting a fine lintel with a crenellated cornice. One storey above, the window lintel is decorated with a similar entablature, whilst two storeys higher, a monumental dormer with a pediment and wings emphasises this ostentatious centrality. The other openings and dormer windows on this façade, with similar but simpler decoration, create a sense of alignment emphasised by a simple string course, whilst marking the boundary between the residential storeys. In contrast, the addition of a projecting section in the early 20th-C. transformed the courtyard façade—with its three bays and simplified decoration—into the main façade. At the base, a flared plinth followed by three wide steps leads the visitor to an entrance, where a flat bossage frames the two levels of windows with arched lintels, separated by a lintel in the form of an inverted entablature. Through this entrance, one enters a beautiful, very light-filled hall, providing access to the various rooms on the ground floor. To the left, a corridor leads to a small bathroom with a toilet. In the centre, it opens onto the dining room via a connecting door, aligned with the exit to the grounds. Through this double-length room, which acts as a hub connecting all the spaces, you reach the large sitting room with a beautiful Empire-style fireplace and a herringbone parquet floor, another smaller sitting room followed by a pantry, and the park. Finally, to the right of the entrance hall, a long corridor passes the staircase to reach the large kitchen with a monumental fireplace, an indoor water well and a service entrance leading to the courtyard or the park. On the first floor, the first half-level comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom. The next half-level is organised around a long, light-coloured wooden corridor, in the 18th-C. style, which leads to three bedrooms and a study on the right, and a bedroom with a shower on the left. The latter is situated in the front section of the house, above the entrance hall. As shown on the plan, the first bedroom on the right has an en-suite bathroom, the second has a separate toilet, and the third has a shower room. Walk-in wardrobes have been fitted within the thickness of the walls. On the second floor, in the attic, the floor previously reserved for staff remains to be converted. The total living area is approximately 400 sqm. In the attic, the former servants’ quarters cover a total area of 134 sqm. The property comprises two main outbuildings: two wings of outbuildings flanking the main house. In the left-hand wing, there are four garages with a large loft space above, as well as a holiday cottage on two levels covering approximately 70 sqm. This cottage features a large living room with a fireplace, a kitchenette and a shower, and two bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower. Outside, a private terrace, an outdoor seating area and a barbecue area complete the property. In the right-hand wing is a large and beautiful old stable block with five stalls and three separate brood mares’ stalls. There is also a 140 sqm gîte on two levels, in need of restoration. Beneath this wing is a cellar housing the main house’s boiler room, its water tank and a utility room. The other outbuildings include the old, empty towers, a pole shed, a building known as a ‘bergerie’ (sheepfold) now used as a storeroom, and several small roofed structures. The grounds, covering an area of 5.3 acres, surround the property on three sides. At the rear of each wing, a meadow provides the necessary open space, whilst the wooded park, which features some fine trees and charming, shady groves, extends its green space to the west of the property.

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 near to Blois A17th-century manor with outbuildings in wooded parklands,. The property stands outside the village and is hidden behind tall trees, away from a small country road. A wrought-iron gate opens onto a long drive running through the woodland up to the manor, which was built in the 17th century and altered as the centuries passed by. The Louis XIII style rectangular residence boasts classical architecture dominated by a tall, hipped slate roof and is oriented northwest to southeast. Its rendered facades are punctuated by tuffeau stone window and door surrounds as well as quoins. Both of the main facades boast a symmetrical layout with five vertical rows of windows on two levels. A large stone cornice separates the elevations from the tall slate roof, which is slightly sprocketed at its base. It is also punctuated by three gable dormers and two bullseye windows lined with zinc, most likely added in the 19th century. The gable walls at each side are topped by tall red brick chimney stacks. In the centre of the main facade, facing northeast, the entrance door stands beneath a large pediment bearing a coat of arms. Alongside the road, several outbuildings form a series of constructions varying in size and period of origin. They include a barn, a cottage, an estate keeper’s house, stables with coachman’s lodgings and a vast reception room.

Near Orléans, in the heart of the Loire Valley, discover this character château set within a preserved environment imbued with serenity and authenticity. Easily accessible from Paris, the property offers a rare lifestyle setting where time seems to stand still, at the heart of a landscaped park shaped by light, water, and abundant nature. 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.

Ref.4947 : Charming chateau and outbuildings with commercial potential in the Sancerre region Situated in the heart of the Pays Fort, in the north-eastern part of the Cher department, where Sologne, Sancerrois and Giennois meet, the property occupies an elevated position on the outskirts of a charming village renowned for its character. Set high above the surrounding countryside, the château enjoys uninterrupted 360-degree views, offering an exceptional panorama free from any disturbance. The village offers a peaceful quality of life while remaining within easy reach of essential amenities. Everyday shops, supermarkets, restaurants, schools and healthcare facilities can be found within approximately fifteen minutes in Sancerre and Saint-Satur. The town of Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire, around thirty minutes away, provides a wider range of administrative, medical and commercial services. Perched on its iconic hilltop, Sancerre is renowned for its picturesque streets, internationally acclaimed wine estates and gastronomy. The region is particularly celebrated for its exceptional wines, the famous Crottin de Chavignol goat’s cheese, and a rich culinary tradition supported by numerous local producers. The property also benefits from excellent transport links. The A77 motorway, connecting Paris with Nevers, is readily accessible, allowing Paris to be reached in just over two hours. The railway stations at Cosne-sur-Loire and Tracy-Sancerre provide regular services to Paris-Bercy and the national rail network, facilitating both everyday travel and weekend stays. Thanks to the quality of its surroundings, the reputation of its terroir and its excellent accessibility, the property offers all the qualities required for an elegant family residence, a characterful country retreat or a high-end hospitality venture in one of the most attractive areas of the Centre-Val de Loire region. This charming château, built of rendered rubble stone with dressed-stone quoins, is crowned by an elegant double-pitched slate roof. Its origins are believed to date back to the 15th century. The property subsequently underwent several alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries, giving it the harmonious appearance it retains today. The building is arranged around two distinct sections, suggesting different phases of construction. The principal building extends over seven bays and two storeys, topped by an attic level illuminated by handsome dormer windows. On its south-western side, a projecting square tower adds distinction, lending the château an elegant and well-balanced silhouette. The pedimented dormer windows, topped with decorative finials, reflect traditional French architecture with Neo-Gothic influences. Their tympana are adorned with raised pointed arches forming delicate decorative niches, while small carved corbels emphasise the cornice and further enrich the architectural composition. Facing north-east and south-east, the château offers approximately 350 sqm. of living space arranged over three levels, with generous proportions and an interior layout well suited to a family residence of distinction. On the ground floor, an entrance hall features a quarter-turn staircase, notable for its elegant wrought-iron balustrade and exotic hardwood handrail. A passageway with a cloakroom is located beneath the staircase. To the right, a sitting room opens onto a charming small library. To the left, a spacious sitting room of approximately 40 sqm. is particularly appealing for its warm atmosphere, with its fireplace, herringbone parquet flooring and wall panelling. This is followed by a kitchen with stone flooring and a range cooker, as well as a gallery providing a link to the tower. The latter houses a dining room, a utility kitchen and a storage area. On the first floor, a landing leads to four bedrooms, each with its own cloakroom, and a bathroom with WC. An independent apartment also occupies this level, comprising a bedroom, a sitting room with fabric-covered walls, and a bathroom with WC. The second floor comprises several rooms formerly used as staff quarters. A large room of approximately 55 sqm. of floor area, insulated and plastered, offers excellent potential for further conversion, with the finishing works still to be completed. A study also completes this level. A small vaulted cellar provides ideal wine storage. The property as a whole retains the authenticity of a historic residence, with traces of its past still perceptible throughout. OUTBUILDINGS : Located to the west of the property, the outbuildings enjoy a discreetly sheltered setting, protected by a belt of vegetation that preserves the château’s privacy while creating a natural separation between the private areas and the reception facilities. Currently devoted to an events business, they form a particularly harmonious ensemble, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal. The centrepiece of this group of buildings is undoubtedly the former orangery, a rendered rubble-stone building beneath a mechanically tiled roof, arranged around a U-shaped plan. Its imposing central arched opening, framed in black wrought iron, forms the building’s true visual focal point. Elegant and inviting, it naturally draws one into the space and gives the property a distinctive identity. The orangery provides approximately 220 sqm of reception space, complemented by an adjoining area of around 90 sqm comprising a professional kitchen, sanitary facilities and a dedicated children’s area. The building has undergone a complete restoration to create a characterful reception venue and is in apparently good structural condition. It is equipped with an alarm system, benefits from an individual septic system installed in 2022, and complies with the applicable regulations for public-access establishments (ERP, 5th category). LAND : The estate extends over approximately 32 acres, comprising parkland, meadows and woodland, offering a remarkable variety of landscaped settings. Immediately surrounding the château, open spaces elegantly alternate between carefully maintained lawns and more natural areas, deliberately managed through differentiated maintenance practices to encourage and preserve biodiversity. This subtle balance between cultivated and more natural areas creates a remarkable interplay of perspectives, particularly evident in aerial views, where a harmonious landscape composition of open and enclosed spaces unfolds. The park forms a veritable arboretum, home to a wealth of remarkable species, some of which are several centuries old. Among the most exceptional specimens are 27 giant sequoias, together with various varieties of cedar, including Cedar of Lebanon, Atlas cedar and Himalayan cedar. The estate also features rarer species, such as the tree fern Dicksonia, further contributing to the site's distinctive botanical character. Near the reception areas, the landscape becomes more formal. The gardens, more structured and meticulously maintained, are reached through a magnificent hornbeam arch extending several metres, leading into this distinctively elegant setting. A little further on, a walled orchard of approximately 5,000 sq.m. provides an intimate and secluded space. Centred around a fountain and enhanced by two historic wells, it creates a beautifully balanced landscape. To the north of the property, the woodland introduces a wilder, cooler dimension. These varied landscapes contribute greatly to the identity of the estate, offering a succession of distinct atmospheres throughout the seasons. The elevated position of the property further enhances its appeal, with sweeping views extending across the surrounding valleys and reinforcing the remarkable sense of space and seclusion that characterises this exceptional estate.
