castles for sale Picardie, France (page 2)

Nestled in a meander of the Nonette, the property slopes gently down from the access road to the river. In the 17th century, the estate was part of the royal domain of Chantilly. Rebuilt in the 19th century, it combines the prestige of a historic site with the modern comforts of a warm family residence. Its spacious reception rooms enjoy spectacular views. Its landscaped gardens offer vast lawns shaded by century-old trees, an invitation to meditation as much as to celebration. The grounds also feature a tennis court, paddock, meadow and horse stalls. The outbuildings comprise a suite of three charming stone pavilions. They respectively house a janitor's cottage, an independent office and an additional room to be converted. On the courtyard side is a recently restored chapel and a covered garage for three vehicles. The vast 17th-century vaulted cellars bear witness to the age of the château's basements, and provide valuable storage space for wine lovers.

A jewel proudly dominating the Somme, on the edge of a charming village, this elegant residence is built on the foundations of an ancient medieval fortress. It is nicknamed 'The Little Versailles' or the 'Folie de Buissy,' after its builder. An imposing wrought-iron gate glimpses at the visitor the proud line and majestic extent of the castle, classified as a Historic Monument. The park of nearly twenty hectares frames the building with a vibrant green setting. Between Abbeville and Amiens, less than two hours from Roissy-Charles De Gaulle Airport, and one hour from Le Touquet, bordered by the Somme, this estate is a timeless haven of peace.
