A 19th-century manor and its outbuildings on a 22-hectare estate, thirty minutes from the town of Vichy in the north of the Puy-de-Dôme department. Perched up on a hill, this rectangular three-storey building is topped with a flat tile roof and flanked by a round tower on one side and a rectangular-shaped wing on the other. With grounds extending over approximately 22 hectares, its upper floors provide panoramic views of the nearby hills and the Limagne plain in the distance, while, the chateau, abutting a wooded hillside, is surrounded by large meadows below. As for the property’s reception rooms, they are located on the other side of a courtyard, behind the chateau, as are a caretaker’s cottage and various other outbuildings.

A 19th-century chateau with outhouses, a pool and 7.5 hectares of grounds facing the historical town of Lectoure in France’s Gers department. A track leading to the property leaves a small country road on the hillside. A discreet spring covered with stones marks the entrance to the grounds. The chateau’s facade appears at the end of a drive shaded by tall, old trees. The edifice enjoys absolute privacy and calm. It looks out over a valley, in isolation from the rest of the world. You can admire several stunning vistas from the property. These views stretch to the town of Lectoure, perched on its rocky outcrop. The chateau is built on a large gravel terrace with a round ornamental stone pond. The building is rectangular and has an adjoining tower in the middle of its west elevation. It has four flours that can be seen from its east side, lower down. The top floor is a loft space. The edifice offers a liveable floor area of around 800m², spread between the ground floor and the first floor, which can be seen from the south driveway. The chateau was built in 1805. It is made of dressed stone, rendered with a beige lime coating. Its facade reflects the architectural traits of its era: 14 rectangular openings are arranged symmetrically around a central bay that stands out for its dressed stone and its double door that forms the main entrance. The quoins, cornices and door and window surrounds are made of exposed dressed stone. The building is crowned with a zinc and slate mansard roof with hipped ends, punctuated with three bull’s-eye windows on its south side, three on its north side, one on its east side and another one on its west side. The grounds are dotted with age-old trees and vast clearings. This wonderful outdoor space includes an isolated swimming pool, a dovecote, an old washing place and an Italian-style garden. The style of this Italian garden goes well with the chateau’s north elevation and brings out its elegance. At a lower level, there are two large rectangular outbuildings made of rubble stone. They face each other and can be reached via a separate drive on one side.

The “Mas de la Brune”, a listed, Renaissance-style gem, its 4 ha of parklands and its gardens at the foot of the Alpilles mountains in Eygalières. At the end of a row of two-hundred-year-old horse chestnut trees, three interconnected constructions comprise the buildings on this predominantly wooded, 4-ha property. The first is the Renaissance-style manor house, known as the “Mas de la Brune”, constructed in 1572; the only building of this type, standing in the middle of the land, rising up like a nave, proudly showing visitors the prow of its watch-turret. Directly adjoining the manor, a more recent construction dating from the 18th century stands in the shade of a three-hundred-year-old lime tree. This building once housed the staff accommodation. And lastly, on the east side, where a perimeter wall no doubt once existed, a rehabilitated farmhouse is separated from the manor by a row of cypress trees. Opening on to a vast courtyard that extends behind the French formal garden, it acts as a link with the rest of the parklands, where the permanent singing of the precious water, coming down from the Alpilles Mountains via the canal of the same name, can be heard. The French Historic Monument listing, dating from the 9 August 1924, applies solely to the “Mas de la Brune”, already showing on Cassini’s 18th century map under the name of “Grand Mas”. Some say it was constructed for the consul Pierre-Bruno-Isnard, who gave it the feminine version of his surname, whilst others maintain it was for an alchemist, whose name is long forgotten. In both cases, this outstanding building, entirely constructed from Baux stone, was probably built by master mason, Gaston-Flayelle, native of the Vivarais region, who also designed the “Hôtel de Manville” in Les-Baux-de-Provence. The size of the manor house, its biblical paraphrases sculpted on the façade, like a big open book, and including the secret number of steps of its spiral stairway tend to reinforce the hypothesis of an alchemist’s home. A spacious tiled swimming pool, cleverly concealed from onlookers in a copse of laurel bushes, has been installed a good distance from the main house. And lastly, a carpark, out of sight of the manor but able to take ten or so cars, has been laid out in the shade of mulberry plane trees.

A 19th-century chateau with guest accommodations, swimming pool and grounds, perched along the banks of the Saône River, 35 minutes from Dijon in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. A tall wall conceals the entire property from view, except for the tops of a few trees visible from the road. Accessible via an automatic entrance gate that opens onto a parking area, a landscaped drive – bordered on one side by the annexe with its three garages and, on the other, a verdant arbour with views of the Saône River – leads to the entrance of the L-shaped chateau, located in the middle of the property and adorned with a tower topped with glazed tiles and an exterior brick walkway. Separated from the property’s outbuilding by a gravel courtyard, the main dwelling includes ten guest accommodations, while the swimming pool and the entrance to the property’s vaulted cellars are located in front of the main façade, facing south. As for its landscaped terraced grounds, they slope down behind the chateau all the way to the Saône River, where a path provides gentle access to the landing stage and an immense space along the water’s edge.

An elegant, 19th century chateau and its outbuildings in Vendee's lowland bocage countryside on the outskirts of La-Roche-sur-Yon. A central, 200 m long alleyway, lined with oak trees, crosses 10 hectares of fields before reaching the main entrance. This is guarded by a hunting lodge and tall metal gates. A perimeter wall encloses the property. The 3 hectares of parklands, gardens landscaped in 1893 and redesigned in 2002, are planted with several trees over a hundred years old, including sequoia, ash, oak and lime trees. They also have numerous camellia, azalea and boxwood bushes. Alleyways lead to the various outbuildings of the chateau, some of which have been so well renovated that they are able to accommodate up to 40 guests. The property’s two swimming pools, one heated indoor pool and one outdoor pool, make it possible to take relaxing dips from April through until October. An orangery is but an invitation to read and relax. On the sides and in front of the chateau are the old wash-house, the bread oven and the moat, all bearing witness to its history.

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.

An isolated 14th and 17th century castle divided into four homes, in the middle of 34 hectares of land in the Dordogne area, to the northwest of Périgueux. This estate, in the heart of a rural and undulating environment, away from large and medium-sized thoroughfares, is spread out over more than 34 hectares of meadows, organic farmland and woods. The buildings, located in the centre of this land, are surrounded by parkland and boast an inner courtyard, gardens, patios and an approximately 1-hectare orchard. The property benefits from uninterrupted 360° views. It is made up of a main edifice with two wings in an L-shape flanked by an imposing 14th-century round tower where they join, a farm with its various farm buildings near to the passing road and, lastly, set slightly away from the rest, a swimming pool with a view overlooking the surrounding nature. The rubble stone and ashlar façades are mostly rendered, with mainly rectangular doors and windows, some of which have mullions and transoms, while the mainly gabled roofs are made up of half-round or flat tiles. The main entrance to the property is formed by a drive, lined with hundred-year-old trees and a long farm building, that leads to an inner courtyard closed by a gate. A secondary entrance runs alongside a lawned, shaded parking area to the west wing of the castle.

An vast 18th century mansion and its neo-Romanesque indoor chapel and outbuildings in the Essonne valley, 35 km south-east of Paris . The present mansion was re-built in a classical 18th century style on the foundations of an older edifice around 1850. Past the entrance gate leading directly to the main courtyard with a central circular lawn, the mansion comes into view. At the rear of the mansion, parklands planted with centuries-old trees provide the backdrop for a both pastoral and elegant scene that stretches as far as the river. This four-storey mansion spans approximately 1,200 m². Its slate roof, which is in excellent condition, is dotted with bullseye windows. The edifice extends out on either side of a central south-east facing front section. This houses the main entrance, topped by a wrought iron balcony whose motifs are reminiscent of the Sun King's monogram. The balcony can be reached via French windows framed by a sculpted pediment. The upper part of the front section rests on four columns topped with capitals. On each side of the entrance, two carved stone sphinxes stand guard over the estate. Each wing has a row of five windows per level. On the ground floor, thanks to the dual aspect rooms, they connect the front and rear of the grounds. At the four corners of the mansion, four square towers emphasise the symmetry of the design. Each tower features windows richly decorated with carved shells and floral motifs in the Renaissance style. The façades of the towers are framed by slender columns crowned with finely crafted capitals. The north-west façade, facing the grounds, echoes the composition of the main façade. Its central avant-corps stands beneath a bullseye window framed by two imposing gable dormers. All of the façades, as well as the slate roof, have been carefully restored in keeping with their original architectural style.

A 110-hectare hunting estate with exceptional enclosed grounds in the centre of France. Set back from the road and any other neighbouring dwellings, the estate of nearly 110 hectares, devoid of all disturbances and enclosed by 2.3-metre high fences, is mainly composed of 76 hectares of woods with a variety of different trees, meadows and five ponds ideal for hunting. As for the buildings, in the middle of the property, they are grouped around a courtyard, surrounded by meticulously maintained grounds planted with plane trees, and include a manor house, a guesthouse, two caretaker’s cottages, a reception hall and various outbuildings used for the estate’s daily operations. Completely and carefully renovated over the past 20 years, the estate’s buildings all exude exceptional quality, comfort and elegance.

In Haute-Corrèze, on the edge of a village, a 15th-century restored castle, with outbuildings and ponds, on a 73-hectare estate, more than 21 hectares of which are woods and land. The castle, whose oldest parts date back to the 15th century, was built on the probable site of a feudal motte from the 9th century. Its layout essentially follows the structure of the medieval walls, documented since the 13th century, which still organizes the site today. The north facade faces the village church and a neo-Gothic chapel of the estate built in 1898. It is integrated into the enclosing wall, which extends east and west and delineates immediate access to the property. Two gates provide access to the estate. To the northeast, the first leads to the gardens, parking areas, annex buildings, a swimming pool, and a passage to an honor courtyard. The second gate opens onto a driveway that runs along the western side of the castle to the honor courtyard. The stone facades and slates from Travassac have undergone complete restoration. The gravel honor courtyard is bordered by the two main wings, also called the "small" and "large" parts, built with three levels and arranged at a right angle. The courtyard is closed off to the south by a fortified wall that overlooks a zone of dry moats. The two wings are separated by a passageway that connects the courtyard to the back of the castle, its dependencies, gardens, and swimming pool. The small part extends along a north-south axis around a rectangular building flanked by a residential tower. The large part, oriented east-west, consists of several buildings and towers, including a spiral staircase tower and a square tower marking the angle of the right angle. To the south, an inner enclosing wall marks the transition to the estate's land and contributes to the staging of the castle, established as a belvedere. It is punctuated by stone staircases and, near the swimming pool, by a circular turret with a pepper-box roof.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 15th-century chateau, its outbuildings, grounds and swimming pool, surrounded by 21 hectares of unoccupied land, along the outskirts of the Quercy region, twenty minutes from Brive-la-Gaillarde. In the 14th century, the lands owned by the de Chabannes family were transferred to Adhémar d’Aigrefeuille, Baron of Gramat, before the de Muzac family, whose patriarch was the King of France’s sergeant-at-arms, took possession of the estate in the next century, pledging his allegiance to the Viscount of Turenne in the process. Through marriages and successive inheritances, the fiefdom was then passed down to the de Tournier family of Corrèze, followed by that of the de Materre de Chauffour family, which owned it until 1870. Left abandoned for nearly a century, the dwelling was given a new life in 1966 when a painter and his wife bought the chateau, nearly in ruins, and undertook a large-scale restoration. From the wrought-iron gate, which indicates the estate’s formal entrance, a gravel lane traverses a large swath of lawn and leads to the property’s upper patio, the latter of which skirts the southeast exterior of the oldest of the three dwellings. Faithful to the origin of its name, the dwelling is made up of two adjacent edifices, which hug the land’s natural slope: the older of the two is located above the more recent construction, whereas the two wings are partially connected via a third dwelling abutting a square tower-dovecote. The upper edifice, from the late 15th century, is made up of a rectangular structure, the western part of which was completely reassembled with original materials recovered from the rubble after 1945, while a stately hexagonal tower, with a lauze slate tile roof, juts forward into the courtyard. In addition, mullioned windows, including two corner ones behind the dwelling, cadence its exteriors, whereas, in the interior corner of the second building, in all likelihood built in the late 17th century, a circular tower, completely rebuilt in 2025, is topped with a lauze slate roof. This same dwelling also features a balcony with balusters, supported by a basket-handle arch, while a series of dormers, crowned with finials, punctate the various rooftops – long, conical, pavilion and hipped – that have been deftly blended together. Lastly, slate and barrel tiles as well as tall chimneys, gracefully coiffed, create an overall aesthetic and aerial composition, whereas the outbuildings – a Limousin-style barn and a former hunting lodge – provide the finishing touches for this remarkable and historical estate.

A sophisticatedly decorated, elegant manor rebuilt in 1912 in the ‘Arts and Crafts’ style, in 1.76-hectare grounds, 50 minutes from Toulouse and its airport, close to Montauban. A dead-end lane leads to the main entrance to the estate, which is framed by two imposing umbrella pines with twisted trunks. Two ashlar pillars crowned by pyramid-shaped capitals topped with spheres stand either side of wide, grey, double-leaf, metal gates topped by railings. Once though the gate, visitors’ gazes are drawn by two fenced meadows, dotted with cedars and oaks, while a hedge hides the spaces set aside for parking. Opposite the drive, a brick fountain babbles away regularly in front of the main building in the property. The three-storey manor boasts living space of approximately 520 m² and its façades are made of pink brinks punctuated by white dressed stone or rendered stone. The roof made of interlocking tiles and formed by unique series of interlinking sections is in very good condition. The 18th-century former dowager’s manor was entirely rebuilt in the 20th century by a Dutch diplomat, who became a benefactor of the village following the floods of 1930. He drew his inspiration from the modern Arts & Crafts movement that was fashionable in northern Europe at the time. He combined the architecture of noble aesthetics with the wealth of traditional craftsmanship know-how, as demonstrated by the sculpted panelling, oak flooring and staircases, moulded or coffered plasterwork on the ceilings, Italian marble fireplaces, white Quercy stone or stained-glass windows in each room. Away from the main stoop, a clearing houses a swimming pool with light-coloured stone decking, surrounded by shrubs, flower beds and small bushes of aromatic plants. The pool’s technical facilities are housed in a nearby building. A shaded terrace stands next to the swimming pool. An orchard made up of old fruit tree varieties stretches out below to the left. Lastly, a wood occupies the edges of the entirely fenced property.

A 19th-century Palladian chateau, its outbuildings, tree-filled grounds, a swimming pool and vegetable garden, on the border of the Corrèze and Cantal departments. Seen from above, the chateau’s footprint is a reminder that it was built below the vestiges of a fortified castle constructed around 1470, which once belonged to the same family. Located on the outskirts of the village and nestled within a verdant setting, from its entrance gate, a lane skirts the grounds’ immense expanses of lawn before arriving at the chateau. Steeped in the heritage of French Palladian dwellings from the early 19th century, when Palladio’s influence was combined with local classicism, the use of carefully dressed blonde stone and the regularity of the stonework conveys the desire to make the building as durable as possible, according to a rational architectural ideal, while its white louvred shutters help lighten the chateau’s overall and impressive heft. Surrounded by a wide array of tall trees: limes, thuyas, beeches and different resinous varieties, directly opposite the chateau, several metres from the swimming pool and skirting a portion of the wall that separates the property from a private drive, a perennial flowerbed is planted with rosebushes in an array of shimmering colours. In addition, a barn, adjacent to the chateau, is used as a garage and the machine room for the swimming pool, while, set back at a distance, a small 16th-century manor house, with its own garden and a central staircase tower, abuts the grounds’ southern entrance. As for the grounds, they include a variety of different spaces, such as a vegetable garden, a piece of land zoned for construction and two grassy plots, whereas four agricultural parcels with two barns, each with 400 m², can be purchased with the property at an additional price.

Backed by a wooded hill, with panoramic views of the Ardèche Mountains, a 16th-century Provençal castle in an 8-hectare estate. Access to the estate from the road is ensured by a large porch with stone pillars, a tiled roof, and a painted wooden gate, which opens onto a pebbled and landscaped inner courtyard. On the right side, a small French garden adorned with white roses adds refinement to the building. It is a typical castle of the 16th-century Provençal style, restored to preserve its authentic Ardèche character. Raised over two stories, one of which is convertible under the eaves, and oriented north-south, the residence features sober facades in dressed stone coated with lime, straight bays framed in white and fitted with painted wooden shutters in green, and finally, roofs with two or four panes of canal tiles bordered by three rows of tile overhangs. It is flanked by concrete terraces on the south and west. The eastern wing, connected to the castle by its northeast corner, houses a caretaker's accommodation and a loft with an orangery on two levels. Forming an L-shaped building extended by a paved terrace to the south, it displays, like the main body, the architectural characteristics typical of Provençal houses: plastered stone facades and country tiles with one or two slopes. The wing, once a stable for horses, was indeed built at the same time as the castle and later transformed into an orangery. The built complex is surrounded by a 1-hectare park, which includes trimmed hedges, a Japanese pond, a pool with views over the Payre valley, and an old tennis court. Traversed by hiking trails, a forest of oaks borders it, providing an ideal setting for nature lovers. For over 20 years, after about ten years of work, the castle has become a guesthouse with seven rooms, five of which are equipped for hosting, with private amenities. Its interior spaces blend antique furniture, delicate bedspreads, and lime-painted walls, which enhance the charm of the living areas. All roofs and the insulation of the upper floor were redone a few years ago. All windows are double-glazed.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Located 2.5 hours from Paris, in the land of Talleyrand, an entirely restored manor, its heated pool, and its garden. A poplar-lined driveway leads to the manor, surrounded by meadows and woods. Dated from the 15th century, it showcases the characteristic silhouette of typical Berry houses. The building rises over two levels, under a high roof of flat tiles. On one side, a square tower with a four-sloped roof has been recently erected, in keeping with the spirit of the main structure. On the opposite corner, a round tower topped with a pepper pot is original. A veranda connects the main body to a lower returning wing. The courtyard facade, plastered, is pierced with small window panes. A bay window with angled panes precedes the central door. The whole, currently operated as guest rooms, has been carefully restored. The pool adjoins a pavilion with a living room and kitchen, as well as a summer dining room. The park of about 1.3 hectares opens up to the surrounding countryside.This description has been automatically translated from French.

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.

In the Bay of Somme, 2 hours from Paris, a 18th-century castle of 460 m² and its 9-hectare park. The castle was built in 1790 for Pierre Fanneau de la Horie, lord of La Touche, an engineer to the King responsible for the development of ports on the Picard coast and in the Bay of Somme. He acquired the Lordship of Lanchères in 1774, the pre-existing building having been completely destroyed. The architect of this typical neoclassical residence is Antoine-Charles Aubert, who is also responsible for the Place du Palais Bourbon in Paris, as well as various buildings and private hotels that have since disappeared, including a folly in Lanchères that was located on the hill of Chaillot. The canals and the park were designed and planted around the same time. A gate opens onto a large circular grassy parterre, planted with trimmed yews. A path, also circular, allows for vehicle parking in front of the castle. Two pavilions, serving as a garage and a storage room, are located at each end of the courtyard. A little away, a chapel and a dovecote seem to guard the property while, to the west, there is a walled orchard with old greenhouses, an orangery used as a workshop, and a swimming pond. An old farmhouse located to the east adjoins the vegetative labyrinth. The estate includes a 9-hectare park, with a French formal garden (Mérimée base), orchard, pastures, woods, and canals communicating with the marsh network of Lanchères and Cayeux-sur-Mer.This description has been automatically translated from French.

10 minutes from the center of Albi, by the Tarn river, a 16th-century château and its 3.6-hectare park. The château was built between the 16th and 17th centuries, and later a wing was rebuilt in the 19th century. Classified as a historical monument, it is linked to local history. Jean-François de Galaup, Count of Lapérouse, a famous navigator and explorer born in 1741, spent his childhood there. The residence largely retains its organization from this period. Access to the property is via a metal gate leading to a tree-lined driveway up to the château courtyard. A surrounding terrace borders the building and overlooks the meadows that slope down toward the Tarn, visible through the trees. Below, a swimming pool is set in the slope of the land, while an old nymphaeum, likely created in the 19th century and fed by a spring, is situated away from the main area. The park, of about 3.6 hectares, consists of tall trees, ornamental plantings, meadows, and wooded areas. The plots spread around the château and provide views of the river from the terrace and façades.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In the Aude area, near to the Canal du Midi, an Italian style 18th century mansion with outbuildings in 8 hectares of grounds. A drive that runs past the outbuildings adjacent to the main building leads up to the mansion. All the buildings are set out in a continual straight line, though the mansion is one storey higher than its outbuildings. It was built in 1710 under the supervision of an Italian architect and has floor-space of approximately 1,200 m². It has three storeys and its main façade is split into nine bays. The two façades, facing east and west, boast remarkably simple lines, punctuated by the perfect symmetry of the openings, which are mostly rectangular and topped with fanlight windows on the lower two levels, surrounded by stone frames and equipped with louvred shutters. The hipped roof made of half-round terracotta tiles is surrounded by a cornice which is echoed in two moulded belt courses marking each level. The outbuildings, which are all rectangular and topped with gabled roofs or a half-hipped roof, stand adjacent to the mansion, mostly on its left-hand side. They are made up of three apartments, a hangar and a barn. Lastly, the 8-hectare grounds stretch out behind the mansion up to the Canal du Midi and can be reached through a wicket gate. There are gravelled patios on either side of the buildings and there is also a swimming pool in front and slightly to the side of the mansion.

An elegant 19th century chateau, its orangery, guest houses, water feature and 8.5 hectares of grounds, just 40 minutes from Toulouse city centre . The main entrance to the estate is situated away from the main thoroughfares, and leads to an earthen esplanade bordered by a low wall protecting a cypress hedge. Braced by two fluted, rusticated columns with floral motifs, the wrought iron gate with its fine scrolls opens onto a driveway that winds through the parkland featuring centuries-old trees. To the left, perched on a small hill, the five-storey chateau overlooks the entire estate. Built on the site of a former 16th-century fortified castle, it has a four-sided slate roof. Its perron offers a view over the park and its lawn, which gently slopes towards the main entrance. To the west of the chateau, there is a dovecote with arcades and a pagoda-like flat-tile roof topped by a lantern. The remaining outbuildings are situated to the south, in the eastern part of the grounds: they comprise villas that have been turned into gîtes (guest lodgings), as well as another annexe awaiting restoration. Opposite the chateau, a water feature takes pride of place in the centre of the lawn, bordered by centuries-old trees. To the right, there is a swimming pool with pool house, followed by an orangery. The orangery is bordered by a terrace that runs along one side of the pond and preceded by a parking area. Finally, a track at the back leads to one of the estate's secondary entrances. It should be noted that the estate, which is still in activity, could be sold in the form of two companies: a SCI (non-trading property company) owning the land and a SARL (limited liability company) operating the estate, which will manage events and hospitality rentals. As a result, the property benefits from attractive tax incentives.

A 19th century chateau with 14.5 hectares of grounds surrounded by verdant countryside in north-west Isère . This vast estate, extending over approx. 14.5ha of gently sloping, uninterrupted land, consists predominantly of woodlands. A shady driveway leads to a large gravel parking area to the north-west of the main building. It then continues towards a courtyard in front of the chateau, where the woods give way to a large clearing. A secondary path followed by a flight of steps lead to a swimming pool on a plateau overlooking the forest. On the other side, a small wooden chapel is tucked away beneath the trees. This was originally a forest house linked to an ancient 16th century Cistercian abbey. After the French Revolution, it was used as the home of the steward responsible for managing the national forest. In 1888, a local grandee commissioned the architect Joseph-Étienne Mallaval to build a substantial four-storey extension. The chateau, which has undergone several periods of construction and renovation, stands on the north-eastern edge of the grounds. Its most striking external architectural features are those dating from the 19th century. The distinct, homogenous volumes of each section follow one another cascading down to the outbuilding, reflecting the different periods in which they were built. The adobe, pebble, rammed earth concrete and clinker block facades are rendered. The roofs, clad with slate, monk and nun or flat “beaver tail” tiles are in good condition; they have all been renovated, with the exception of the roof of the 19th-century main building. Today divided into various lodgings spread over three levels, the building has a total floor area of approx. 870 m². It is currently used as tourist accommodation, benefiting from one of the most peaceful environmental areas.
