A 15th-century spiral stone staircase connects the different levels.

In the Perche region, a 16th century château and its 85-hectare estate. At the edge of a peaceful village, the property remains away from prying eyes but close to other homes. The estate includes a château, outbuildings, woods, and farmland. After the parish church, tall gates mark the entrance to the park, where centenarian trees stand. On one side, the brick and flint outbuildings are hidden from view. The château then appears, with its towers. Built at the end of the 15th century or the beginning of the 16th century, it is said to have served as a summer residence for the superiors of the abbey of Châteaudun. The main building has retained its original layout: a rectangular body raised over three levels and flanked by three round towers. Its living space exceeds 400 m². Facing south, it overlooks a vast wooded lawn. The architecture is distinguished by meticulous ornamentation: an alternation of brick and stone, towers topped with pepperpot roofs, mullioned windows, molded arches, and a sculpted door with pleats. Restored at the end of the 1980s, the interior today needs refreshing. Outside, the wooded land descends towards the river and a 2-hectare pond. On the other side, about 20 hectares of woods and 45 hectares of cultivated land make up a farm. The estate also includes an unused farm.

A multi-century chateau, its 15th-century gatehouse, immense outbuildings and romantic 42-hectare grounds traversed by a river, in the former Perche province. Behind its massive wrought-iron entrance gate, the chateau’s main façade is visible from the village and is arranged on either side of its former carriage entrance, the wooden door of which once opened onto a covered passageway, temporarily closed, which provided access to the courtyard, from where the property’s three-storey gatehouse with its corner turrets can be seen in all its glory. Topped with a slate hipped roof, the main chateau is also crowned with a small bell tower atop which stands a 19th-century zinc statue of a slender female figure who seems as if to watch over the village. To the north, the chateau’s main façade faces east towards the village and is extended by a wing, which is framed by two square brick towers. To the west, the chateau’s exterior, structured around its former carriage entrance and cadenced by windows protected by wooden louvred shutters, faces the topiary gardens and stands out thanks to its brick exterior, which is mirrored in the surrounding buildings. To the north of the chateau, the gatehouse stands near the Saint François tower, called such in reference to its wrap-around stone décor resembling Franciscan knotted cords. Above, bricks and white stones are topped with slate pepperpot roofs supported by stepped corbels, which are, in turn, crowned with ancient weathervanes. To the south, the gatehouse and its fairy-tale silhouette represent the centrepiece of this building complex. This ancient passageway was once the main entrance to the fortified chateau, accessible from a drawbridge that no longer exists today, but whose vestiges have been preserved. Flanked by two towers topped with slate pepperpot roofs and supported by stepped corbels, its white stone, massive towers on either side of the entrance and cross-windows are all reminiscent of the chateau of Ussé, located nearby on the banks of the Loire River. In addition, a wing with a gallery provides access to a more recent edifice adjoining a tower from the medieval enclosure. To the west, towards which the grounds extend, the Renaissance-era dwelling is a reminder of the pleasure and decadence of holiday homes in centuries past. With windows framed by richly sculpted elements on both of its floors, it has a flat tile roof, while a walkway provides access to the 'bell tower', called such due to the unusual shape of its slate roof. To the south, immense outbuildings with brick-clad exteriors are topped with slate roofs, which are, in turn, punctuated with cross-windows. Marvellously restored over the course of the second half of the 19th century using the original constructions, their style displays an understated Neo-Gothic charm. The Property’s History Although momentarily lost to the darkness of the High Middle Ages, this chateau’s history reappears during the Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453) when it was pillaged in 1420 by Thomas de Montaigu, the Count of Salisbury and General-in-Chief of the English troops on their way to laying siege to Orléans. Meticulously reconstructed sixty years later based on the fortification principles in vogue at the time, wide 'fortified' moats were created around the immense square enclosure in which the chateau was located, while water from the Foussarde River was used to fill the moats and, to the north, the water from a large pond reached all the way up to the walls of the chateau. At that time, each successive renovation used what already existed, which makes it possible, today, to see that some of the towers’ foundations have stones that appear to be older and probably date, in part, from the late 12th-early 13th century, while, the sections made out of white ashlar stone probably date from the late 15th century. From this building, which marked the entrance to this fortified enclosure, it is possible to understand how feudal architecture was able to ensure the protection of its inhabitants during attacks: the outer barrier, made up of the remains of the gates and enclosure wall built in the 19th century, allowed the residents of the village to enter and seek protection in the outer bailey, occupied at that time by the chateau’s vegetable garden and poultry population. Today, this area is occupied by the former outbuildings, stables and other elements that have now become accommodations, a portion of the topiary garden, the 'Village' Pavilion and Saint François tower, which is the only defensive tower still remaining from the original four corner towers. In addition, a second barrier provided extra protection for the seigniorial dwelling: the gatehouse’s drawbridge entrance, which is now covered by topiaries and box trees, the gatehouse itself, the western gallery rebuilt in the 18th century and a watchtower to the north. Owned by wealthy lords over the centuries, the property underwent many restorations including, specifically, one carried out by Jean Métézeau, a disciple of the architect Philibert de l’Orme (architect of the royal Fontainebleau chateau as well as the one in Anet, among many others) who was in charge of the reconstruction of the so-called 'Village' Pavilion between 1584-1586. This was then reorganised a century later by the Gramont family before a floor was added and its exteriors were redesigned in the 18th century in such a way as to better comply with the symmetry of 17th-century French classicism. The current group of buildings is therefore rather similar to what they would have looked like on the eve of the Revolution, except for the 20th-century addition and the moats, which are no longer filled with water.

The oldest parts appear to date back to the 15th century, including the stair turret. The most significant alterations carried out by the architects Dumont and Lafargue in the 1900s modified many of the openings and introduced disparate volumes while preserving the stylistic unity: that in vogue at the end of the 15th century, as well as the unity of the lozenge-shaped decorations common in the Sologne region, achieved either through the interplay of brick colors or by incorporating bands of tufa stone.

Located just 2 km from the center of Azay-le-Rideau, in the heart of one of Touraine’s most sought-after tourist areas, this château—built in 1909—has remained in the same family since its construction. The property offers approximately 1,060 m² of living space and a total floor area of nearly 2,000 m². Renovated in 2013, the château is in excellent condition and retains a particularly interesting interior layout, where spacious volumes and period features play a central role. Generous proportions set the tone right from the entrance. A remarkable staircase serves the upper floors and facilitates a fluid flow between the various reception and living areas. The château comprises 17 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, along with two kitchens and two dressing rooms. Highlights include two formal reception rooms, each exceeding 70 m² and boasting ceilings 5.60 meters high. Their spaciousness, décor, and well-preserved architectural details all testify to the home's distinctive character. The construction was notably innovative for its time, featuring double glazing and original pocket doors—details that are quite rare for a property built in the early 20th century. Outside, the château opens onto a park offering lovely vistas. A large south-facing terrace provides a natural extension to the reception rooms, allowing residents to fully enjoy the surroundings. A swimming pool complements the leisure facilities, while a former tennis court could be restored to use. An independent pavilion of approximately 130 m²—currently in need of complete renovation—offers further potential for use as a guest house, a separate residence, or a space for a future business venture. Despite its size, the property enjoys a well-balanced location: a peaceful setting that is not isolated, situated in the immediate vicinity of Azay-le-Rideau and the Loire Valley's main attractions. The renovation also placed particular emphasis on energy efficiency. The château boasts an impressive energy performance rating for a property of this scale, thanks notably to the installation of heat pumps and a thermodynamic water heater. Two gas boilers also provide heating for part of the château, while the pavilion has its own dedicated gas boiler. With its spacious interiors, numerous bedrooms, and layout, this residence is ideally suited as a large family home—whether for primary or secondary use. It also lends itself perfectly to a high-end hospitality venture, such as a bed and breakfast. A property of real character—distinguished as much by its architecture and spaciousness as by its excellent state of preservation—located just minutes from the center of Azay-le-Rideau in the heart of Touraine.

Eight centuries of history have shaped this castle without ever erasing its medieval identity. Behind its walls and towers, this former fortress reveals a succession of decors and layouts, from the guard room to the Second Empire apartments. A unique architectural heritage, set in a 27-hectare estate, which today awaits a new life.Located at the borders of Bourbonnais and Berry, about twenty minutes from shops and services, the estate includes a castle of approximately 850 m² of living space, numerous outbuildings, and a large romantic park. The whole, partially classified as a historical monument, requires important restoration work.The history of the site dates back to the late 12th century, when a watchtower was built under the reign of Philip Augustus. By the 14th century, it became the keep of a powerful fortress, surrounded by ramparts, corner towers, and deep moats. Part of this defensive system remains visible, notably the passages fitted into the thickness of the walls, which once allowed movement shielded from view.Over the centuries, the fortress became a pleasurable residence. Reception rooms open onto gardens, and new decors enrich the interiors. Under the Second Empire, a spectacular transformation gave it its current silhouette, with high slate roofs and the neo-Gothic crown of the keep, whose design is attributed to Viollet-le-Duc.Inside, the guard room, chapel, spiral staircases, sculpted fireplaces, frescoes, and antique parquet flooring testify to these different eras. The succession of monumental spaces and more intimate rooms reveals the architectural richness of the castle.The outbuildings, some dating back to the 18th century, include former service buildings and a large hall once intended for receptions.Surrounding the castle is a romantic park of 27 hectares, composed of meadows, gardens, and woods. Plane trees, giant sequoias, and centenarian trees accompany the views of the fortress. A basin, two sculpted lions, and the remnants of a former pleasure garden recall the refinement of the place, while a vast meadow uncovers the imposing silhouette of the castle.Today, this property offers an ambitious restoration project.

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.

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.
