Listed castle Courpière (63)

Located on the edge of a village near Courpière, in the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park, the estate includes a Renaissance castle, outbuildings, a pond and land for a total area of 4 ha 67 a 20 ca. The castle, built in the 16th century according to Renaissance principles and remodeled in the 17th century, is laid out as a quadrilateral surrounding an inner courtyard and flanked at its four corners by two round towers and two pavilions. Between the two towers, a vast terrace with a balustrade supported by three semicircular arches runs along the first floor. The old ditches, although dried up, are still clearly visible. A large body of water faces the terrace, fed by the Sauvagnon stream. In 1974 the current owners acquired the castle and saved it from ruin by carrying out major works from 1976 to 2000 on the main structure, the ground floor and the first floor. Access to the castle is through a beautiful pointed arch doorway leading to a covered passage with a barrel vault and then to the inner courtyard. On the ground floor: an old kitchen of 41.49 m² with ribbed vaulting and a monumental fireplace; a scullery of 5.64 m²; a square room of 13.15 m² in the round tower; a toilet of 6.58 m² with a washbasin; a 19.37 m² vaulted laundry room: sink, washing machine and fuel tank; a service spiral staircase leading to the first floor; three cellars, a workshop and the boiler room. A superb three-flight staircase with 17th-century Volvic stone arches serves the floors. On the first floor: a gallery (or armory) of 61.43 m². Three French doors open directly onto the 24 m² south-east facing terrace; a room known as the “Coat of Arms” measuring 12.38 m² with its exceptional painted decoration representing the coats of arms of the owning and allied families: Lodant, Uffan and La Fayette among others. Painted French-style ceiling. The cornice is brown and decorated with motifs and bordered by two green lines. The coats of arms are surrounded on the right by a cord and on the left by palm fronds. The lower part of the room is covered with a trompe-l'œil balustrade and the upper part is decorated with a frieze and masks in red and silver; a large, so-called “colonnaded” living room of 72.08 m². Nine massive columns with Corinthian capitals decorate the room. 18th-century wood paneling. Two French doors open directly onto the terrace; a 15.75 m² fitted kitchen in the round tower; a bathroom of 11.71 m²: two sinks, bathtub; a toilet of 0.96 m²; a blue room of 33.42 m². Superb marquetry rosette. In a niche, a faience stove. 18th-century woodwork. French-style ceiling; a corner bedroom of 31.09 m². Herringbone parquet flooring. Grey marble fireplace; an adjoining toilet of 0.65 m²: washbasin and bidet. A separate apartment has been created on the same level, accessible either from the colonnaded living room or via the service spiral staircase. It comprises: an entrance hall of 4.90 m²; a fully equipped kitchen of 4.03 m²; a dining room of 18.21 m²; a salon known as the “Muses Room” of 21.79 m². Remarkable painted coffered ceiling dating from the Louis-Philippe period. Herringbone parquet flooring; in the wall of the northeast tower, a charming oratory features a stucco decoration imitating Renaissance lambrequins and a cloudy sky with a dove dating from the late 18th century; a 4.29 m² interstitial space opening onto a balcony; a bedroom of 28.36 m². Grey marble fireplace. Herringbone parquet flooring; It is of course possible to combine the two apartments. The whole property offers approximately 388 m² of living space. On the second floor: approximately 400 m² of attic space suitable for conversion. Poplar timber frame. The roofs of the round towers were redone in 1976 and the rest has been regularly maintained. Central heating provided by two boilers. One Okofen pellet boiler dating from 2017 and an oil boiler used as a backup, dating from 2000. No energy performance certificate (DPE) as it is a listed building (ISMH). Connection to mains drainage and fibre optics. Its simple yet well-proportioned exterior, typical of the Renaissance, and the rich original features of its interior decoration justified its listing on the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments in 1991: the entire château, including the bedroom with its marquetry parquet floor, the colonnaded drawing room, the coat of arms room, the salon of the muses, and the oratory. This listing allows, under certain conditions, for obtaining subsidies and tax relief for restoration work. A large common building was erected to the west, one wing of which is adorned with 6 semicircular bays and includes: a 48 m² garage; a garage with horse stalls of 71 m². Upstairs a hayloft of 172 m²; a sheepfold of 177 m² under a barrel vault which has retained a decoration of false rib vaults which may date back to the end of the 16th century; a stable of 27 m²; a stable of 190 m². Above it, a hayloft of 190 m². A dovecote. Of the 4 ha 67 a 20 ca of the property, approximately 3 ha are free meadows. The Sauvagnon stream crosses the property, splits into two branches to form an island and feeds the pond of approximately 2,500 m². The castle is built on the edge of a peaceful village located 10 km from Courpière, which offers all shops and amenities. The A89 motorway is 25 km away. The architectural qualities make this charming castle a rare witness to the Renaissance in Auvergne and with its vast volumes, its common and its park it will be the precious residence of true lovers of heritage or the ideal place for a tourist, cultural and event activity.

Castle Marcilloles (38)

When living in a château also means imagining a place entirely your own. Just a 10-minute walk from the village and approximately one hour from Lyon, Valence and Grenoble, this elegant 19th-century château is set within two hectares of wooded grounds, offering a wonderfully private setting and an exceptional sense of space. From the moment you enter, the character of the property is immediately apparent. Exposed stone, wood panelling, high ceilings and period features reflect its history and create an atmosphere that is both elegant and timeless. Three adjoining reception rooms provide generous spaces for entertaining, hosting large gatherings or simply enjoying everyday life in a truly distinctive setting. Beyond them, the light-filled orangery opens onto the park and offers a particularly beautiful space for welcoming family, guests or visitors. The château offers remarkable accommodation, with five suites including a principal suite, together with seven additional bedrooms. This configuration allows for a wide range of possibilities: a large family residence, a second home, a guest house or a carefully considered hospitality and events project, subject to the relevant permissions and regulations. Vaulted cellars naturally complement the property and could also lend themselves to a project centred around entertaining, gastronomy or the French art of living. The former caretaker’s house, set apart from the main residence, offers further flexibility. It could accommodate guests independently, serve as a guest house or gîte, or provide additional accommodation as part of a larger project, while preserving the privacy of the main château. The two-hectare grounds form a magnificent natural setting for the property. They offer the possibility of creating a truly personal outdoor environment or, subject to the necessary permissions, hosting private receptions, intimate seminars, family celebrations or bespoke stays. The surrounding region further enhances the lifestyle on offer, with lakes, unspoilt landscapes and ski resorts providing opportunities to enjoy nature and the mountains throughout the seasons, while several major cities remain easily accessible.

Castle Montluçon (03)

Overlooking the valleys, rocky hills, forests, and spa towns from its rocky spur, this majestic stone castle, built on a Merovingian site at an altitude of 480 m, has dominated the landscape since at least the medieval period. The family descended through women from the lords of a vast estate for 400 years—whose first member was treasurer of the Duke of Bourbon—has preserved a freehold estate of 45 ha (at the center of 160 ha leased, some of which could expand the sale of this free reserve). Seventeen hectares of woods surrounding the splendid Grand Etang and its spawning ground (12 ha of water) conceal various buildings of great character amidst over 16 ha of gardens, meadows, and groves. Passing through the wrought-iron gate, one leaves the real world to enter the reverie of the 45 ha park, designed by a well-known landscape architect in Bourbonnais and Europe. Gradually, the honor avenue reveals the beauties of the ensemble one by one, appearing after each turn: forgotten is the small chalet-style house of the gardener-keeper, where the view of the immense pond emerges from majestic trees of multiple species; the original outbuildings then appear, always on the east side, remodeled in the 19th-century orangery style, with their renovated lodge, a dwelling in the same style, and the typically regional dovecote. Finally, the centerpiece of the tableau emerges, dominating the entirety of a park arranged for visual pleasure: the castle, isolated and formerly inaccessible. At the southwest corner, slightly set apart, is the farm and its 19th-century (renovated) caretaker's house, independent, at the back of the gardens still possessing their walls to which fruit trees leaned. A complete and complex ensemble, still possessing the castle, its two lodges, its lands, woods, water, and above all, no nuisance. It is undoubtedly for this silence enlivened by the songs of birds, the trees, and the pond thawing in the sun, that its melodious name has been so well found since "immemorial times." The castle, covering approximately 700 m² of floor space, is regularly maintained for its major works (original frameworks, new roofs, coatings of the two northern towers in 2026) and requires a total interior renovation, despite presenting rooms with atmospheres modified in the 19th century, under a flood of light revealing decorations worthy of the heiress of a family that also owned the Château d’Ainay-le-Vieil as well as a famous private mansion in Montluçon. The baroness married an Empire baron, who wanted to give the ancient feudal fortress and its medieval farm the splendor and comfort of the Napoleonic era. With the best orientation (southeast/northwest), this pleasure residence still offers circular towers, including that of the barbican staircase, emblazoned with the coats of arms of families from a prestigious lineage: counselor and prosecutor of the king, steward of Madame the Duchess of Angoulême, civil and criminal lieutenant in the lordship of Montluçon; general treasurer of finances in Moulins; treasurer of France; captain of vessel; marquis, gendarmerie officer, knight of the royal and military order of Saint-Louis, beheaded during the Revolution; after the Revolution, the property confiscated by revolutionaries was returned by the former steward to the new marquis, mayor of Montluçon. In 1940, the castle and its outbuildings housed around a hundred war refugees and their families. This property is not listed; all your renovation imagination can flourish here. Between Montluçon, Gouzon, and Clermont-Ferrand. Complete file available upon serious interest.

Castle Dirac (16)

Built in the 18th and 19th centuries, this characterful estate features a magnificent 500 m2 château flanked by two medieval towers. Accompanied by numerous outbuildings, it is set in 8 hectares of wooded grounds on the edge of a charming hamlet, close to the dynamic city center of Angoulême.Overlooking the Natura 2000-listed Échelle valley, its charm is apparent from the moment you arrive, crossing a stone footbridge over deep dry moats, at the height of a 12th-century tower covered in ivy. The hallway instantly offers a view of the promontory terrace, suspended above the moat and underground passages that run behind the building.In contrast to the imposing, timeless exterior, the interior of the château evokes a country house on a human scale. The current owners have undertaken a sensitive and respectful renovation in a refined style, allowing the history and patina of the place to shine through, in keeping with the aesthetic of their family business: Les Petites Emplettes. The interior design approach is to let volumes and textures express themselves, enriching them with natural materials and, above all, inviting light to flow through the large windows, capturing the surrounding nature at every moment. Raised on three levels, the ground floor mainly houses north-south living rooms bathed in light.

Listed castle Grilly (01)

In the heart of the Pays de Gex, just minutes from Geneva International Airport, Château de Grilly embodies more than two thousand years of history. Built on the site of an ancient Roman military fort dating from 45 BC, the castle and its grounds have been carefully restored since the 1990s. The castle has been partially listed as a Historic Monument since 1987. The castle offers 518 sqm of living space, arranged over two floors and two towers, with generous reception areas and seven bedrooms. It retains valuable architectural features: period fireplaces, coffered ceilings, a dressed-stone staircase, carved surrounds and traces of its defensive past. On the uppermost level, a floor area of approximately 200 sqm beneath a remarkable, carefully restored centuries-old roof structure offers the possibility of creating up to two additional apartments. Architectural plans are available upon request. The castle roof has been completely renovated, particularly with regard to waterproofing and insulation, representing a major heritage asset. The configuration of the two towers also makes it possible to consider converting them into two separate, independent dwellings. On a 2,019 sqm plot with courtyards and garden, an independent 83 sqm caretaker’s house comprising two bedrooms provides additional space that could be used for staff accommodation or a rental project, subject to the necessary works. Another major advantage: an approved building permit allows for the construction of a residential building comprising four high-end apartments on the site of a former Gessian farmhouse. Designed with respect for the heritage setting, the project provides for approximately 705 sqm of declared floor area and twelve parking spaces. Overall, the estate has potential for nine apartments, including the outbuilding, in addition to the castle’s principal living spaces arranged over two floors. The additional conversions envisaged within the castle do not yet have approved authorisations. An architect has nevertheless already studied these possibilities. E&V reference: W-04C8FI The castle estate is not subject to an Energy Performance Certificate (DPE) due to its protection as a Historic Monument. A technical file relating to the buildings is available upon request. Sale price: €5,200,000 Transaction fees of 4% including VAT, payable by the seller. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr.

Castle Montanges (01)

What appealed to me about Château de Montanges as a hospitality project was the combination of a place that leaves a lasting impression on visitors and an established business already in operation. Its setting, architecture and period features give it a distinctive character that guests can appreciate from the moment they arrive. The estate currently provides tourist accommodation and lends itself to exclusive hire, particularly for weddings and family gatherings. The bedrooms, reception rooms, parkland and swimming pool provide a solid foundation for continuing the business and developing your own offering. I particularly liked the way the spaces complement one another: welcoming interiors where guests can gather, and outdoor areas suited to a ceremony, a cocktail reception or time spent by the pool. Stone staircases, vaulted ceilings and traditional French beamed ceilings all contribute to the experience of staying here. Set in approximately 3.6 hectares of grounds, the château also includes separate accommodation, offering the possibility of living on site while running the estate. Access from Valserhône and Geneva allows the property to appeal both to local guests and to visitors travelling from further afield. The established business provides a starting point for continuing the current activity. The hospitality business is available to purchase for €40,000, with the furniture available for €60,000. The outbuildings and attic spaces offer potential for additional accommodation or services. Further projects have also been explored within the grounds, with initial steps taken to support their development. Whether you are considering a bed and breakfast, exclusive stays, weddings or corporate gatherings, I would be pleased to discuss your project and introduce you to the estate’s current facilities, its operations and its potential.

Located in the Bay of Somme, 10 minutes from the Pointe du Hourdel and about 25 km from Abbeville International Airport, this castle, built in 1790 for Pierre Fanneau, the King's engineer in charge of developing the ports of the Picardy coast, constitutes a rare heritage and is particularly suitable for an exceptional tourism project.

An old farmhouse (an 80-meter-long building requiring restoration), which could be converted into seven dwellings, completes the ensemble to the east, while to the west, a walled orchard shelters an orangery, former greenhouses, and a swimming pool. The castle's layout, with its numerous reception areas and bedrooms, naturally lends itself to various projects: prestigious guest house, exclusive tourist residence, event rental or privatization of the estate, private stays, retreats, receptions or even the organization of cultural and family events. With a total surface area of approximately 490 m2 , the château offers generous living spaces: on the ground floor, covering approximately 217 m2, there is a cloakroom, a central entrance hall, a corridor, and a large kitchen equipped with oak storage units. The kitchen connects via double doors to the living room and an adjoining study.

This level also includes an en suite bedroom with a small sitting room and bathroom, a dressing room, a laundry room and a guest toilet.

Castle Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne (19)

In the Midi corrézien, within the Dordogne valley A manorial château, its outbuildings, and nearly 14 ha of land. Two stone pillars frame the entrance gate. Beyond it, a drive runs alongside a garden in front of the château's north facade, then reaches the outbuildings and parking areas. A tower in need of restoration stands to one side of the path. A second access on the east side of the property leads to a departmental road. At an altitude of some 250 m, the château overlooks meadows and wooded hillsides. The first traces of this former manorial house date from the 11th century. Built on the foundations of a medieval complex, the château has undergone several alterations over the centuries. It has a nearly rectangular plan, local-stone walls, and slate roofs. Windows with stone surrounds punctuate the facades in a regular layout, some with simple mouldings, others with carved motifs or ogee lintels. A polygonal tower with a five-sided roof stands on the north facade. Its entrance is a Gothic door with a moulded pointed arch, topped by a heraldic shield. The building has four levels above cellars and a combined footprint of over 630 m². The outbuildings are grouped near the château around a large barn of around 300 m² built above a cowshed of the same size. They also include three lean-tos and several structures for animals: a kennel, a henhouse, and a rabbit hutch. The gardens around the buildings have lawns, flowerbeds, ornamental trees, and fruit trees, among them walnuts, along with a few vines. An orchard adjoins the landscaped areas near the château. Beyond lie the estate's meadows and wooded areas, and one of the parcels has a pond.
