listed castles for sale Lorraine, France

A small, 18th-century château, listed as a Historical Monument, on the border of the Champagne and Lorraine regions. In the middle of the village, on the corner of two streets, the property is located in a small, tranquil valley, which is within immediate proximity to schools, a local shop and a bar-tobacconist’s, while, behind its stone wall and tall wrought-iron gates, it is articulated around a main courtyard extended, in the back, by an L-shaped garden featuring a swimming pool, a barn and an outbuilding. Meticulous and romantic in appearance, with a subtly integrated swimming pool, the garden has been decorated with a number of statues and stone benches, delicately placed among the wisteria and flowerbeds, whereas a chicken coop has been cleverly concealed at one end of the garden and, to the right of the courtyard, a beautiful 19th-century orangery abuts the neighbouring property and is currently used as a garage.

Iin the footsteps of Joan of Arc, a 16th-century, former small village castle, listed as a historical monument. The property is located in the centre of the village, opposite the church, overlooking the plain. It is the result of joining two buildings built with lime rendered rubble stone. The first one stands alongside the street and was probably a former farming outbuilding. It has two storeys and a finely crafted corner bracket, four windows, three bullseye windows and a wooden garage door. Standing perpendicularly next to it, the residence’s front facade overlooks a gravelled courtyard, while there is a patio to the rear, a garden and slopes planted with fir trees, while shrubs and fruit trees stand against the southern gable end. The property also possesses a single-storey outbuilding, situated next to the former farm outbuilding, topped with a roof of interlocking tiles. The entirety of the main residence, the facade and roof of the outbuilding, the courtyard area and the boundary wall including a period gate are all listed as a historic monument.
