Ref.4341: Beautiful property for sale in the french Centre area. On the borders of the Sologne and Pays-Fort Sancerrois regions, in the department of Cher, stands the silhouette of this beautiful 19th-century masterpiece. Strategically located in the centre of France, it is within easy reach of the capital (185 km), the first ski resorts (Clermont-Ferrand, 230 km) and Switzerland (Geneva, 410 km). More locally, towns such as Aubigny sur Nère have all the shops and services you need. The town also has a bread depot. The pleasant town of Aubigny sur Nère boasts a rich historical past, as evidenced by its castle, which earned it the name of ‘City of the Stuarts’. It was in 1421, following a Franco-Scottish victory at the Battle of Baugé, that the Dauphin, the future King Charles VII, donated the seigneury of Aubigny to Lord John Stuart of Darnley to thank him for lending him a helping hand. Later, his descendant Robert Stuart built the castle that bears his name, which today houses the Auld Alliance Interpretation Centre. This handsome castle, with its imposing stance, reveals living spaces that are human in scale and easy to use. Facing north-south, it comprises a central body built of brick and dressed stone chainwork topped with a slate gable roof, flanked on either side by two symmetrical pavilions of the same style. With almost 900 sqm of living space, the castle comprises two stories over a basement, with an attic that can be converted as follows: Ground floor: a vast hallway of approx. 60 sqm with 3.8 m (9.9 ft) high ceilings leads to a dining room with a fireplace to the east, followed by a lovely, luminous kitchen. To the north is a study and to the west, a billiards room and a lounge. A dressing room, wc and two stairwells (main and secondary) complete this first level. On the first floor, a long corridor leads to 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms or shower rooms, some with wc. Attic above. Full basement with games room, fitness room, cinema room, boiler room, laundry room, swimming pool room, woodshed and storage space. The outbuildings: To the south-east of the château, with private access, a house of around 300 m² offers interesting potential. Now divided into 3 dwellings, it is currently being renovated: A first flat on the ground floor with a large living room, utility room and bathroom. A second flat on two levels with a living room with open-plan kitchen, utility room and toilet on the ground floor, and 4 bedrooms, a bathroom and toilet on the first floor. A third and final flat on the first floor with a living room and open-plan kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a shower room with toilet. To the north is a large hangar of approx. 300 m² used as a garage, which could also be used for other projects. Finally, to the east, an 11x5 m heated chlorine swimming pool with a pleasant pool house equipped with a kitchenette/bar, sanitary facilities and a terrace promises pleasant moments of relaxation. In a quiet, discreet setting, in the heart of 32 acres of grounds, the château enjoys a dominant position with uninterrupted views over the countryside. To the south of the chateau is a beautiful English-style parkland, perfectly maintained and planted with numerous trees of varying species. To the north, a forest has been converted into a racetrack and a young plantation of 1,000 vines completes this homogeneous ensemble. All of this forms a natural ring around the château, separating it from the neighbouring cereal crops and meadows and giving it all the privacy expected of such a residence.

A manor with holiday cottages, reception rooms, all fully renovated, in landscaped grounds, 15 minutes from Blois, in the middle of the countryside. This vast complex of buildings, set in an enclosed park covering 8 hectares, has recently undergone a complete and high-quality restoration. The Renaissance manor, which is dominated by its staircase tower, has retained its original character. Set perpendicularly, there is a long series of outbuildings housing three holiday cottages. A barn has been converted into a reception room, as has a nearby modern, glazed greenhouse with a roof. Two other holiday cottages complete the considerable accommodation capacity of this property. The swimming pool to the rear is set in a fenced in area. Slightly further away, exhibition spaces have been created in glazed metal modules. They form a modern cloister, which could easily be repurposed, particularly for receptions. The grounds are partially enclosed behind high walls and towers, of which the walls are listed as a historical monument. The wooded grounds include shaded trails.

A 19th-century chateau with outhouses, a chapel and a lake, nestled in 30 hectares of grounds in the south of France’s Touraine province. The seigneurial home that was built here on the ruins of a medieval mansion, of which no vestiges remain, was endlessly redesigned until it collapsed in 1860. In 1890, the decision was made to rebuild the edifice on the site. A renowned architect, Louis-Alfred Trolliet, a specialist in the reconstruction of chateaux, was entrusted with this task. He was responsible for the edifice you can see here today. Trolliet was nicknamed ‘the Viollet-le-Duc of the Berry province’ in a nod to the famous 19th-century French architect Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc who restored many medieval monuments. Trolliet won his spurs as a leading figure of the Troubadour style in French architecture with his restoration of the Château de Romefort in the town of Ciron. To rebuild the present property, he did not adopt the Troubadour style but rather the style of the Loire Valley chateaux that was also in vogue at the time. Trolliet opted for a long rectangular dwelling crowned with tall hipped roofs of slate tiles recalling the Château de Chenonceau and the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau. The grand edifice comes into view once you have gone through the entrance gate and made your way up the long central drive punctuated symmetrically with topiary box shrubs neatly clipped into cones. The château faces east and west. Its main section has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The adjoining square tower has a third floor in its roof space. The symmetrical elevations are rendered and punctuated with large small-paned windows fitted with wooden louvred shutters that are painted sky blue. Gabled dormers punctuate the roof of the main section and that of the square tower. Beyond the château, the drive crosses dense woodland on this estate, which covers around 30 hectares and includes a 1.2-hectare lake. Trolliet also decided to build two large lodges as foreparts of the château exactly opposite it. These two buildings are rectangular. They have a ground floor and a first floor. A third lodge stands at a right angle to one of them. This third structure has an eclectic style and recalls a train station. On the south side, a circular dovecote with a cone roof of terracotta tiles adorns the grounds. On the east side, there is a heated swimming pool. Behind the outhouses, a secondary entrance leads to a gravelled car park. Lastly, on the north-west side, there is a private lake. In the middle of this lake there is a small tree-dotted island.

A chateau made of tuffeau stone, with outhouses, a swimming pool, a tennis court and almost 4.5 hectares of grounds, just a few minutes from the city of Tours. From a narrow one-way road, an iron gate between two tuffeau stone pillars leads onto a driveway. This drive runs through a wood to a parking area beside a vast lawn. On one side stands the south-facing chateau. The first references to the edifice date back to the 15th century, but the chateau in its current form dates back to 1720. The chateau was severely damaged in the Second World War, but was later rebuilt. It is made of tuffeau stone. The edifice has a central main section with a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. This main section has a huge triangular pediment with a bull’s-eye window in the middle. It is crowned with a hipped slate roof. On the garden side, the roof has four arched dormers with volute ailerons. And on the other side, there are three gabled dormers facing the inner courtyard. On the south side, a flight of steps leads up to a broad terrace edged with finely crafted stone balusters. The east wing is made of rubble stone coated with rendering. It has a ground floor and a first floor in the roof space. The roof is a mansard slate roof. On its garden side, this roof is punctuated with dormers that are identical in style to those on the main section’s roof. On its courtyard side, it has two dormers with triangular pediments between two arched dormers. The other windows of the east wing are of different shapes and sizes and are fitted in tuffeau stone surrounds. A large covered entrance area with a paved floor leads to the inner courtyard. Opposite, there is a west wing: a single-storey structure made of tuffeau stone. Its facade is punctuated with three wooden double doors. This wing has a three-slope slate roof. At the back, the inner courtyard is framed between two wings. This outdoor space extends, over different levels, across a terraced garden up to two small towers: a chapel and a former dovecote. The grounds cover almost 4.5 hectares. They are dotted with trees of different varieties. Paths lead to the swimming pool and outhouses on one side and to a tennis court and a small log cabin on the other side. There are several bubble-like treehouses in the trees.

Ref.4860 : Comfortable 19th-C. château overlooking the Cher Valley, just a few minutes from Bourges The property is less than three hours from Paris and a quarter of an hour from Bourges, a major city of art and history at the heart of a thriving economic region where the aerospace and defence industries are particularly well represented. The site is ideally situated in the centre of France, close to two major motorways: the A20 ‘L’Occitane’, linking Brussels and Paris to Toulouse on the one hand, and the A71 ‘L’Arverne’, providing access to Clermont-Ferrand and, beyond that, Montpellier from the capital. We are in the Champagne-Berrichonne region, and more specifically in the Cher Valley. The north-flowing river winds its way through the gently rolling plains of what is still part of the Paris Basin, in a charming valley dotted with small villages. Set apart from one of these villages and situated on high ground, the property enjoys a remarkable view and absolute tranquillity. The key city for this property, Bourges, is a town whose long and rich history naturally made it a prime candidate to become the European Capital of Culture 2028. While we await this year packed with artistic and cultural events, we’ll enjoy strolling through its historic and shopping centre, between the Palais Jacques-Cœur, a masterpiece of Flamboyant Gothic architecture, and Saint-Etienne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And for fans of French-language music, the Printemps de Bourges has been the festival not to be missed for fifty years. And then, the Sologne region isn’t far away either, nor are the vineyards of Reuilly and Quincy, Berry wines as remarkable in red as in white, traditionally associated with the Loire Valley vineyards. In short, a region where life is good. The château comes into view at the end of a tree-lined driveway some 250 metres long. Built on three levels, including a basement, it has a slate roof. With a square, classical appearance in keeping with the Romantic era, it is flanked to the north and south by two towers with conical roofs, the slates of which have been cut to form a fish-scale pattern. The entrance is on the east side, where only two storeys are visible. The façade features a beautiful arrangement of windows adorned with ornate grilles for the front door and the ground-floor windows; balustrades in the same style decorate the windows on the first floor. The attic is lit by elegant bull’s-eye dormer windows. The opposite façade, to the west, follows the same architectural layout but on a grander scale. The windows are arranged in a straight line across the three storeys of the main building and the towers. The dormer windows, three instead of two, are similar to those on the east façade. Entering via the ground floor, one finds a beautiful entrance hall with a white marble floor featuring cabochon inlays, a pattern repeated throughout the entire level. At the far end, a niche decorated with perspective effects; to the right, a cloakroom with a toilet, then, further on, a first reception room with a beautiful Louis XIII-style fireplace featuring an insert. Next, a beautiful suite of rooms including a study in the north tower, a very light-filled lounge overlooking the valley, a dining room with its monumental Louis XIV-inspired fireplace, and a second study in the south tower. Beyond the dining room, a utility room and a large, well-equipped kitchen. The first floor is accessed via a winding staircase featuring a wrought-iron banister in the same design as the gates and railings. A beautiful landing leads to a bedroom-library with remarkable oak panelling, a master bedroom with an adjoining study, bathroom and dressing room, two adjoining bedrooms with their own shower room in the south tower, and finally a bedroom with its own shower room. Returning to the ground floor, a staircase from the entrance leads down to the garden-level basement. This comprises a spacious living room with a kitchen area. This room opens onto the large terrace and the superb swimming pool, situated slightly below. There is also a bedroom with a study and a shower room, and a laundry/plant room for the swimming pool. Access from this level leads to the cellars, including a wine cellar on gravel. In the attic, a vast open-plan space of approximately 180 square metres; insulated and fitted with water and electricity connections, it is just waiting to be converted. OUTBUILDINGS : The outbuildings include a 10 x 5-metre swimming pool, treated by electrolysis, and four main buildings: - A barn converted into a reception hall meeting public access standards, with a warming-up room and toilet facilities suitable for people with reduced mobility. Above this 115 sqm hall, a space of equivalent size could be converted. - An annexe with 104 msq of living space, comprising 2 or even 3 bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, bathroom and shower room. At the rear, a kennel. - A stable block comprising outbuildings, stables and workshops. A shed used as a garage and woodshed. - The annexe and reception hall make it possible to start a commercial activity without delay. LAND : The grounds, covering a total area of 58 acres, consist of a landscaped, wooded park of around 4 hectares, as well as woods and clearings converted into meadows. These well-maintained meadows cover an area large enough to accommodate horses or ponies. The woods, for their part, give this property its character. With their density and cool shade, they form a contrast to the open, light-filled park that serves as a setting for the château. Containing some very fine specimens of local tree species, they cover most of the grounds. Beautiful bridleways make it easy to explore them, whether for a romantic stroll or to reach the adjoining woodland. The latter, covering an area of around 150 hectares, is home to a rich and diverse array of wildlife that is easy to spot.

In Berry, a spectacular restored fortified castle, with its hotel-level amenities. The iconic silhouette of the castle, with its tall towers and vast roofs, seems to spring from the landscape. The whole structure was built in the 15th century. Originally, the castle had 14 towers and a keep, making it one of the main fortresses in the region. During the Wars of Religion, it changed hands between Protestant families. By order of Richelieu, it was partially dismantled to weaken the Huguenot stronghold. Today, seven towers still remain. Deeply restored in 1850, on the advice of the famous architect Viollet-le-Duc, the castle has undergone a complete and very careful rehabilitation over the past thirty years. Several of its towers and even the keep retain original frameworks, which is remarkable given the transformations that occurred over the centuries. All walls are made of rough stone coated to show the stone. The facade of the keep and the crenellated parts of the entrance gate towers are made of cut stone. The keep, the living quarters, and four of the seven towers are topped with high slate roofs, with steep slopes. The other towers have flat roofs concealed by a crown of crenellations. A little away from the building, outbuildings are grouped around several courtyards. The park descends towards the river. The swimming pool has been set up on a grassy terrace, and the tennis court is discreetly sheltered behind an outbuilding. The commanding position of the estate offers an extensive view of the surrounding landscape.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Ref 4825: 15th-century castle and its hamlet for sale in the Berry region Located in Berry, in the Indre department, this remarkable castle captivates visitors with its distinctively medieval character. Situated in the heart of France, it is approximately 300 km from Paris via the A20 motorway, known as the Occitane, and 30 km from Châteauroux, the local town centre. For everyday amenities, the charming village of Argenton-sur-Creuse is less than ten minutes away. The site can also be reached by helicopter. A veritable fortress, the building overlooks the banks of a small river, the Bouzanne. The gently rolling surrounding landscape marks the south-eastern boundary of the Brenne, also known as the ‘Land of a Thousand Ponds’. Renowned for its unspoilt nature and designated a Regional Nature Park, this region offers numerous opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Birdwatchers come from all over the world to observe waterfowl and migratory birds, whilst hikers, cyclists and horse riders enjoy the well-maintained paths winding between the ponds. Hunting enthusiasts also find favourable terrain here, whilst respecting responsible hunting practices. On the edge of a hamlet, its privacy protected by a wall stretching nearly two kilometres, the fortress stands at the heart of its grounds. It enjoys a remarkable panorama over the Bouzanne Valley, forming a veritable natural amphitheatre where the views stretch for nearly ten kilometres. This spectacular setting had, in fact, caught the attention of Michael Jackson, who had considered establishing his French estate there in the late 1990s. The castle is one of the few largely preserved examples of 15th-century military architecture. Built of dressed stone and rubble masonry, and still partially surrounded by moats, it comprises an entrance gatehouse flanked by crenellated towers, which leads into a first, square courtyard. Two wings of the building flank this courtyard. At the far end of this courtyard, a fixed bridge leads, beneath an imposing keep, to a second courtyard. The dismantling of the curtain walls and certain towers has transformed this inner courtyard into a terraced esplanade offering views, to the north, of the wooded banks of the Bouzanne, a small river flowing at the foot of the castle. To the south of the courtyard, the main residence adjoining the keep, rising four storeys high beneath a slate roof, is defended on three of its corners by imposing towers with conical roofs and machicolations. Entering this residence at terrace level via the stair tower that leads to it, one encounters, in turn, a reception room for guests with its monumental fireplace, a study in the south tower, a former bakery converted into a billiard room, a room known as the ‘courtroom’ with a monumental fireplace, and a chapel. Via the south-east tower, there is access to the bathrooms and sauna located on the ground floor of the south wing of the courtyard. In the north-corner tower, there is a separate bedroom with a beautiful fireplace and en-suite bathroom. On the upper floors, accessible by lift: On the first floor of the main building, a semi-professional kitchen, a dining room with beautiful 17th-century wood panelling, a small green sitting room in the west tower, a large sitting room with a ceiling painted in the 18th-century style, and the executive office in the east tower. On the second floor there are seven bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and seating areas. A spacious room with high ceilings and a gallery completes the layout and is designated as the armoury. On the third floor there are eight bedrooms, each with a bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and armchairs. On the fourth floor there are six bedrooms, each with a bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and built-in seats. A library, covered by a four-part ribbed vault with voussoirs, completes the ensemble. There are numerous outbuildings. Four of these form part of the castle complex: The south wing of the square tower, spread over two floors. It houses the boiler room and a staff flat. The north wing of the square tower is dedicated to technical activities, with storage rooms, cold rooms and a large workshop. On the upper floor, three large brick-vaulted rooms could be converted into a superb reception area. A large terrace covers them. Beneath the terrace lies a vast vaulted room known as the Knights’ Hall. The other outbuildings are clustered in the southern part of the grounds, forming a sort of hamlet: The main one is the Bergerie, a large 19th-century farm building converted into a conference centre. With a total of nearly 300 sqm of living space, it houses two meeting rooms and sixteen rooms, including staff accommodation and two holiday cottages. Six residential houses, likely built in the 19th century, currently unused but weatherproofed. A garage with a covered courtyard and a charging station for electric vehicles. There is also, at the entrance to the estate, a pumping station housed in a hipped-roof building. Built on a plateau overlooking the Bouzanne valley, the castle covers just over 15 hectares (37 acres), which can be divided into: - A vast park, planted with remarkable local tree species (cedars, poplars, birches, oaks), surrounds the castle. It includes an enclosed terraced garden which is soon to be restored to its former status as a vegetable garden. Beautiful paths allow visitors to admire this remarkable example of medieval architecture from every angle. - A 12 x 6 m swimming pool, with a terrace of cut stone and changing rooms in a tower. It is situated at the foot of the north-west corner of the esplanade - To the north, a hillside woodland that slopes down to the path running alongside the river. - Finally, meadows covering an area of 3 hectares complete the estate. All furniture and operating equipment is included in the sale price.
