castles with terrace for sale France (page 6)

In Southern Burgundy, at the heart of a nearly 4.7-hectare estate traversed by a stream and bordered by centennial trees, reveals a remarkable castle whose origins plunge into medieval history. Altered over the centuries, it now showcases elegant neo-Gothic architecture that enhances its heritage and gives it a majestic, timeless presence.Developing nearly 700 m² of living space, this residence has benefited from exceptional restoration, carried out with passion and respect by its current owners. Captivated by the place, they undertook considerable work to reveal all the beauty of the castle, preserve its authenticity, and offer a contemporary comfort perfectly integrated. Each intervention testifies to a rare high standard, respecting the ancient materials, volumes, and architectural identity of the place.The interiors reveal a remarkable decor, a product of several centuries of history and know-how: sculpted woodwork accented with fine gold leaf, ancient frescoes, stained glass, Hungarian-point parquet flooring, period tiles, richly adorned ceilings, and monumental fireplaces create a unique atmosphere. The decoration, subtly inspired by travels and cultures from here and elsewhere, creates a harmonious dialogue between heritage, elegance, and the art of living.Now arranged as high-end guest rooms, the castle offers vast reception salons bathed in light, a library, a refined reception area, a kitchen, and nine suites, each with its own private bathroom. The entire property accommodates clients seeking authentic and exclusive experiences while preserving the spirit of a great family home. The service areas and convertible attics open up numerous opportunities for growth.The outbuildings are a significant additional asset. Barns, vaulted cellars, workshops, exhibition space, storage buildings, and a dovecote form a coherent ensemble offering multiple possibilities: private receptions, weddings, cultural events, or the development of a tailor-made hosting activity.The landscaped park naturally extends the elegance of the castle. Clearings, meadows, and wooded spaces are organized around a stream, which accompanies walks and brings a bucolic atmosphere to the estate. Several parking areas harmoniously complete the amenities.More than a property, this castle embodies a true transmission. A rare alliance between medieval heritage, neo-Gothic elegance, and excellence in restoration, it will charm lovers of characterful homes looking for a place rich in soul. Each stone, each decor, and each object bear witness to the passion of those who preserved and enhanced it. A timeless place, destined to host a new chapter, whether as a prestigious family residence or the continuation of a high-end guesthouse activity.This property enjoys a privileged location in the heart of southern Burgundy, near Tournus, a city of art and history renowned for its thousand-year-old abbey, its rich architectural heritage, its ancient streets, its markets, and its renowned gourmet tables. Between the vineyards of Mâconnais and the Côte chalonnaise, the Saône valley, and the characterful villages, the region offers a sought-after living environment where nature, culture, and the art of living harmoniously intersect. The proximity to major roads, notably the A6 motorway, allows for easy access from the main living areas while preserving the confidential and verdant nature of the estate.Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr

At 90 minutes from Paris, at the gates of Fontainebleau, this château occupies a site that the Court of François I already prized for its tranquillity: a bend in the Seine, on the edge of the royal forest. At a time when the river connected Paris to Fontainebleau more reliably than the roads, one arrived here by boat. The vast meadows lining the banks, the natural terraces and the stone steps leading down to the water still bear witness to this today. Built in the early seventeenth century by a physician close to Henri IV, the château passed in 1710 to the Comte de Toulouse, the legitimised son of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan. An avenue linking the estate to the Palace of Fontainebleau was paved in 1726 to facilitate the visits of Louis XV, who would come here to see his great-uncle the Comte de Toulouse and share his passion for hunting. The château then passed to Louis XIV's grandson, the Duc de Penthièvre, who owned several residences in the vicinity of Fontainebleau and was especially fond of entertaining and hunting here. The estate comprises thirty hectares of woodland and meadows, with outbuildings, a kitchen garden, an orchard, and stone walls once devoted to the cultivation of chasselas, the golden table grape born of royal vine trellises in 1730 and grown along miles of walls until the last century. The property also benefits from two kilometres of private riverbank, where swimming and mooring are possible, entirely sheltered from view. The Forest of Fontainebleau enclosing the estate — its 25,000 hectares designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a Natura 2000 site — naturally extends this parkland and its protected wildlife. Remodelled in the nineteenth century, the château has preserved its original volumes, with fine ceiling heights and an eighteenth-century enfilade layout. Its large, numerous windows flood every room with exceptional natural light. Versailles parquet, terracotta floor tiles, period fireplaces and window fittings lend it the authentic charm of a historic residence. Spanning 900 m² of living space across three levels, the château comprises seventeen bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, two drawing rooms, a library, a dining room and a large fitted kitchen. Having recently undergone a complete interior renovation, it now offers all the comforts of a contemporary home. The property also includes a large 200 m² house, a pavilion, a caretaker's cottage and an extensive range of outbuildings, offering strong potential for further development, forty-five minutes from Gare de Lyon. The estate's characteristics — its size, privileged setting, proximity to Fontainebleau and easy access to Paris — are assets that open up a range of possibilities. Whether as a primary or secondary residence, the estate lends itself equally well to an investment project: the restoration of the outbuildings and dependencies paves the way for a hotel, tourism or event-hosting venture.

This magnificent historic residence, dating from 1805 and located in the heart of one of Burgundy's most prestigious vineyards near Mâcon, was recently operated as a bed and breakfast. However, it offers exceptional potential for numerous other projects. Remaining true to its original character, it has been carefully adapted to the demands of modern comfort while preserving its authenticity. Spanning approximately 670 square meters, this exceptional property has benefited from a high-quality renovation that blends elegance with contemporary amenities. Its architecture evokes the finest Tuscan villas. Upon entering, a spacious hall leads to several generously sized living rooms and reception rooms, adorned with period fireplaces and magnificent parquet floors. A remarkable stone staircase leads to the first and second floors, where the private quarters and five guest rooms are located, each with its own bathroom. The château is nestled within approximately 3 hectares of wooded parkland, graced with several century-old trees, offering a peaceful and unspoiled setting. Those seeking relaxation will enjoy a 6 x 15 meter swimming pool, spacious terraces, and beautiful lawns perfect for unwinding. Several outbuildings complete the property: a house to renovate, a garage, and cellars, offering numerous possibilities for further development. Ideally located, the estate is a prime starting point for exploring the prestigious Grands Crus of Burgundy. It benefits from excellent accessibility: 45 minutes from Lyon, 1 hour from Beaune, 1 hour 30 minutes from Geneva by car, and 1 hour 35 minutes from Paris by TGV. The A6, A36, A39, and A40 motorways, as well as the RCEA highway, are easily accessible, as is the Mâcon-Loché TGV station. This exceptional property would be suitable for a bed and breakfast, boutique hotel, private residence, or a prestigious project. A rare property, steeped in history, in the heart of a remarkable setting. Full details available upon request. The fees are to be paid by the seller.

A remnant of a prestigious past, this 18th-19th century château was once a hunting lodge frequented by kings and aristocrats. Located just 15 minutes from Narbonne, in an authentic Minervois village, it exudes timeless elegance with its 655 m² of living space. Its 12 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms blend seamlessly into a refined setting where period materials—moldings, wood paneling, and sculpted fireplaces—have been preserved. Outside, a sunlit pool, and in the basement, a hammam and a gym complete this exceptional living space. A 150 m² barn adds further potential to this outstanding property. A rare residence to discover. Contact us for an exclusive viewing.

This château, built around 1600, once belonged to the co-seigneurs of the region, establishing it within a feudal tradition where several noble families shared the rights and responsibilities of a single seigneury. This arrangement strengthened local influence and ensured collective management of the land. In the 19th century, the château became a literary retreat for Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail, who wrote parts of his famous serialized novel Rocambole here, giving the estate a unique character. The first of the current owner's lineage purchased the château as a hunting lodge, and each summer, the family from Marseille would come to stay and hunt. This ancestor was a devoted supporter of Count de Chambord, King Henri V, the last legitimate heir to the throne for royalists. This allegiance reflects the château's deep ties to French history. In 1920, an agricultural wing was added, designed by a renowned architect to form a complete farm estate. It includes a sheepfold, hay barns, several dovecotes, pigsties, kennels, a silkworm house, a washhouse, an old bread oven, vehicle spaces, a water cistern, and worker accommodations. The current owners continue to run this agricultural operation and lease the surrounding land. In the 1970s, modern comforts such as gas central heating, a new kitchen, and upgraded bathrooms were introduced. However, the original condition remains largely untouched, offering excellent restoration potential. Today, maintenance costs have become too high for the current owners, and, after seven generations, they reluctantly offer the estate for sale. Thanks to its rich past, the château and its agricultural buildings now offer a property of exceptional character, blending heritage, prestige, and authenticity, perfect for history enthusiasts and those who appreciate storied places. There are around 16 hectares of arable land, and the woods are managed by a simple forestry plan, to be continued by the buyer. With a renovation budget (for roofing, floors, plumbing, electricity, and sanitation), this property can be restored to its former splendor. This castle is located closeby a charming village of around 750 residents in the Luberon, Provence, offering a relaxed lifestyle. A bakery is just steps away, where the baker sells excellent bread, the grocery store offers local cheeses and charcuterie, and the terraces, brasseries, and restaurants under the grand plane trees provide a friendly atmosphere. The village is lively, with a post office, a nursery and primary school, a town hall, an antique store, a bistro, an inn, a pizzeria, pottery studios, and a few galleries. Nature is ever-present, with lavender fields, endless forests, the mountains behind the village, and the ochre cliffs offering breathtaking colors during each hike. The town of Apt, with shops, a high school, middle school, cinema, and restaurants, is 10 km away. The Avignon TGV station is about 1 hour 15 minutes away, and Marseille Airport is around 1 hour 30 minutes by car. Please feel free to contact me for more information and to schedule a viewing. I would be delighted to show you this exceptional property!

ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF CHALON-SUR-SAÔNE, THE ELEGANCE OF A 19TH-CENTURY ESTATE Behind a circular main courtyard lined with century-old trees, the Château de la Villeneuve reveals an instantly recognizable silhouette. Two corner turrets, a slate roof?a rarity in the region?and the balance of a symmetrical layout define the identity of this 19th-century bourgeois residence. Connected to a spectacular contemporary orangery that opens onto the grounds, the estate today combines a residence of character, an established hospitality business, and a refined lifestyle?all just a few minutes from Chalon-sur-Saône and the vineyards of the Côte Chalonnaise. 19TH-CENTURY ARCHITECTURE COMPLEMENTED BY A CONTEMPORARY ORANGERY Built at the height of the Industrial Revolution, the Château de la Villeneuve belongs to that generation of bourgeois mansions whose architecture reflected both success and a way of life. Its symmetrical layout, two corner turrets, dormer windows, ridge ironwork, and slate roof create a silhouette that is instantly recognizable in the regional landscape. A rarity in Burgundy, this roof contributes to the estate's unique character and evokes the architectural style of the grand residences of 19th-century notables. Inside, the original features naturally extend this elegance. Wood paneling, moldings, fireplaces, spiral staircases, and antique hardwood floors complement the spacious, light-filled rooms. Every detail seems to have found its perfect place, striking a delicate balance between historic character and contemporary comfort. Extending from the château, the contemporary orangery offers a new perspective on the estate. Spanning nearly 125 m², this vast glass structure interacts with the park through wide openings that blur the boundary between interior and exterior. The 60 m² wooden terrace naturally extends this light-filled reception area, designed to host everything from large family gatherings to moments of relaxation or more intimate receptions. MARGUERITE BOUCICAUT'S LEGACY IN A PRESERVED PARK The history of the Château de la Villeneuve bears the discreet yet essential mark of Marguerite Boucicaut. A native of Chalon-sur-Saône and co-founder of Le Bon Marché in Paris alongside her husband Aristide Boucicaut, she remains one of the most influential figures in 19th-century French philanthropy. It was thanks to the inheritance she left behind that the Charrier-Guérin family was able to acquire the property, permanently embedding the estate in a unique family and heritage history. This legacy continues to shape the identity of the place today. It links the château to a human journey that extends beyond the borders of Burgundy and serves as a reminder of the major role Marguerite Boucicaut played in French social and economic history. Surrounding the mansion, the historic 5,500 m² park provides a setting worthy of this legacy. Organized around a large circular main courtyard, dotted with century-old trees and open vistas, it offers a preserved landscape where greenery graces every view. The seasons are fully expressed here, amid soft shadows, lush foliage, and unobstructed views of the château's facades. This abundance of greenery gives the estate a distinctive atmosphere while maintaining close proximity to the city. A HOSPITABLE DESTINATION IN THE HEART OF THE CÔTE CHALONNAISE The Château de la Villeneuve's location is a major factor in its appeal. Situated on the outskirts of Chalon-sur-Saône, the estate enjoys quick access to shops, services, the train station, and major transportation routes. The A6 highway connects Lyon and Paris, while the vineyards of Mercurey, Rully, and Givry anchor the property in the heart of one of the most sought-after regions of the Côte Chalonnaise. This prime location directly supports the hospitality tradition cultivated over the years. The estate attracts visitors eager to explore Burgundy's wine-growing landscapes, travelers seeking a more intimate getaway, and business professionals passing through the Chalonnais region. Already successfully operating as a bed-and-breakfast?distinguished by the Clef Verte label for its commitment to more responsible tourism?the property currently generates annual revenue of approximately euros100,000 (excluding tax). Its current structure makes significant expansion of this business a realistic prospect. Hosting wellness retreats, expanding the range of accommodations, or creating new experiences centered on the local area all offer opportunities to continue the property's legacy. THE AGENCY'S OPINION The Château de la Villeneuve combines all the elements that define great estates of character: a distinctly recognizable 19th-century bourgeois residence, a contemporary orangery opening onto the grounds, a history intimately linked to Marguerite Boucicaut, a 5,500 m² historic park centered around a remarkable main courtyard, and a hospitality business certified by the Clef Verte program that is already firmly established.

ENCHANTING 18TH-CENTURY CHATEAU IN PERFECT CONDITION IN A REGIONAL NATURAL PARK 1H40 FROM PARIS - Museum-quality 18th-century interior decoration - 18 hectares - Monumental greenhouses 100 meters long - Private 5-hectare lake - Riverbank - Abbeville, Somme. Overlooking the splendid natural site of the Somme Valley, this 18th-century masterpiece with its highly refined symmetrical brick-and-stone architecture, inspired by a landmark 18th-century architectural treatise, rises atop a series of monumental south-facing terraces sheltering some of the largest private greenhouses in France, stretching 100 meters in length. The 18-hectare classical and romantic landscaped park is bordered for 1 km by the river and includes a 5-hectare lake dotted with small peninsulas. The chateau, flooded with light throughout the day thanks to its East-West orientation, features sumptuous sequences of salons and bedrooms adorned with painted and gilded rococo woodwork housing original paintings by Jean-Baptiste Huet, creating an enchanting décor enhanced by the magnificent south-facing views over the valley from the salons. The architecture of the chateau, of remarkable virtuosity, presents a classical symmetry reminiscent of the architecture of the Hôtel de Biron, now the Musée Rodin in Paris, completed in 1737. The architect Charles-Étienne Briseux began the chateau in 1733 and published the plans in his work “L'Art de bâtir les maisons de campagne” in 1743. Pierre de Buissy, son of the original patron, completed the interior decoration around 1763. His portrait by Joseph-Siffred Duplessis is held in the Ottawa Museum and is currently featured in a major exhibition in Carpentras under the direction of the Louvre. It is said that the splendor of the chateau originated from a youthful romance he allegedly had at Versailles with Adélaïde de France, daughter of Louis XV, and that he wished to receive her at his chateau in order to marry her.   Inside, after ascending the grand central staircase, the ground floor, flooded with light all day long and lavishly appointed, is arranged around an oval stone hall decorated with antique-style pilasters and a black-and-white cabochon floor. It opens onto an exceptional dining room with 18th-century painted wood paneling decorated with vegetal motifs and adorned with two oil-on-canvas paintings on the theme of Love by Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745–1811), whose works are displayed in the world's greatest museums, including the Louvre, the MET in New York, and the V&A in London. The ground floor continues with the gilded salon featuring white-and-gold woodwork with dual exposure, decorated with a beautiful marble fireplace, followed by the spectacular Zodiac Salon, flooded with light from triple East, South and West exposures and offering sumptuous views over the valley. It is decorated with 12 zodiac sign paintings, a marble fireplace, large double interior doors, and Versailles parquet flooring. A magnificent staircase with faux-marble painted walls and a wrought-iron banister leads to the upper floors. A sumptuous oval bedroom decorated with floral painted woodwork and paintings by Jean-Baptiste Huet, with a marble fireplace. A library with superb decorative features. A small hall, WCs, and a winter garden provide access to the outbuilding wing. On the first floor, four bedrooms with bathrooms, some decorated with white-and-gold woodwork, two salons with wood paneling including a particularly beautiful rotunda salon, a small dining room, a kitchen, and an office with a dumbwaiter. On the second floor, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a workshop/laundry room, and a large room ready for conversion. A large cellar.   In the outbuildings with their superb symmetrical 18th-century architecture: a magnificent and large chateau kitchen with rustic décor of beams and joists, terracotta tile flooring, stone sink, marble worktop, ceramic tiles, and monumental fireplace. A workshop. An independent studio: kitchen, bedroom, bathroom. A large ground-floor “museum” room in the former orangery. Two large car garages. A caretaker's house. A large barn, former stable, former cowsheds, and a dovecote. A large independent house in good condition, with two garages.   Enclosed parkland of 189,081 m² with numerous stabilized pathways. A lake of more than 5 hectares. 1 km of riverbank along the Somme River, recently restored and in excellent condition. Superbly maintained gardens with a wide variety of flowers and roses. Three south-facing masonry terraces overlooking the Somme River.
