In central France, in the Bourbonnais bocage, A listed 14th- and 17th-century farmhouse château with a riding arena, lake, and meadows, on 28 ha. The farmhouse château, a listed building (Monument Historique), is laid out around a large square courtyard bordered by four ranges of buildings. Two wings of service buildings extend the south side and form an open forecourt, reached over a bridge spanning a moat. A square porch pavilion of exposed rubble stone pointed in lime, with a carriage entrance and a wooden pedestrian door, marks the access to the property. The imperial roof has slopes covered alternately in fishscale tiles and flat tiles, with a slate bell-turret above. This entrance evokes the history of the site. Through the pavilion, a keep of exposed rubble stone under Bourbonnais flat tiles comes into view along its axis. The wings of the house repeat the same architectural style, with towers and wooden galleries, open or closed. Stone dormers in the roofs and Burgundy stone surrounds to the doors and openings add to the overall architectural coherence. The house has turrets and bartizans, and a large round tower at its south end houses the chapel. A small bell-turret and a cross top the tower's roof. Around the main house, several outbuildings remain from the former agricultural use of the site: a mill, a sheep shed, a henhouse, a barn, and a kennel. Some of these buildings are now used as a stable and a garage. There is also a riding arena. The courtyard and the areas around the buildings are landscaped with gravel drives, low dry-stone walls, and lawns with potted olive trees and shrubs.

Ref.4955: Chateau with caretaker’s house and outbuildings on 16 acres for sale in the Deux-Sèvres department In the heart of the Gâtine Poitevine, in the east of the Deux-Sèvres and on the edge of the Vienne, this property enjoys an unspoilt, rolling and verdant rural setting. The area offers a particularly pleasant way of life, among hedged farmland, meadows and small valleys, while remaining well connected to the region’s main towns. The property is close to a lively village offering all the main everyday shops and services, making it equally suitable as a main residence, a family home or a venue for receptions. Saint-Maixent-l’École, Poitiers and Niort are easily reached, while the TGV station provides fast connections to Paris. The region also has many attractions: rural and historic heritage, golf courses, walking trails, the landscapes of the Gâtine and relatively quick access to the Atlantic coast. Offering approximately 339 sqm of living space, the château is arranged over three levels and retains a particularly pleasant layout, designed as much for entertaining as for year-round family life. The entrance is via a short flight of steps opening onto a hallway with old cement tiles, the true hub of the ground floor. It serves the main reception rooms, the staircase, a study, the WC, the cellar stairs and the kitchen. To the right, the spacious and authentic fitted kitchen retains all the charm of a lived-in house: Bavarian stoneware floor, exposed oak beams, fireplace and stove. It also has direct access to the park and leads to a utility room serving as boiler room and laundry. A passage then leads to the dining room, particularly bright thanks to its dual aspect. With its fine ceiling height, it features an oak parquet floor, a straight marble fireplace and two built-in cupboards. The walls, lined with velvet over padding, contribute to the room’s hushed and elegant atmosphere. Beyond it, a wide double door opens onto the large drawing room, with generous proportions, fine mouldings, a marble fireplace and many openings onto the park. One side extends into a turret, forming a more intimate and particularly bright space. From the hallway, a small study facing the park completes the ground-floor reception rooms. Nearby are also a WC with hand basin and the stairs down to the cellar. The cellar, brick-vaulted and tiled, offers several storage areas, notably for wine, and has independent access to the outside. The main staircase, made entirely of carved oak and housed in one of the château’s towers, leads to the first floor. This level is arranged around a library-billiard room, a room of character with parquet flooring and a fireplace. It serves three bedrooms. The first bedroom, of generous size, has its own bathroom with bathtub and retains a marble fireplace. The second, also spacious, has its private bathroom. At the other end of the floor is a master suite, partly set in the tower, with marble fireplace and adjoining bathroom. A separate WC and a small storage area or dressing room complete this level. The second floor has a more intimate, family feel. A landing leads to a first bedroom with fireplace and eaves storage, then to a TV lounge serving the other rooms. There are two further bedrooms, one with two windows and plenty of storage, a small study, and a bathroom with bathtub and WC. The eaves have been used to create numerous storage spaces, particularly practical in a house intended for everyday living. The whole forms a residence in which the period features – parquet floors, marble fireplaces, panelling, mouldings, cement tiles, carved staircase and turret rooms – have been preserved, while offering a fluid and comfortable layout. More than a showpiece château, this is a true family home, warm and lived-in, able to welcome many relatives and friends with ease. The outbuildings form a particularly complete ensemble, organised around the estate’s former domestic, agricultural and equestrian functions, and contribute fully to the character of the property. Close to the château, an old red-painted timber building houses the historic water reserve system. Before the estate was connected to mains water in 1975, this system supplied the property with water. Today it is an interesting testimony to the way the estate once operated. The outbuildings retain a strong equestrian identity. The former carriage house, now used as a garage and workshop, has a cement floor and is clean and functional. It leads into a very fine tack room with parquet floor, panelling and original wooden saddle racks. The former stable has kept its original layout. Its roof has been redone and it has electricity and water points. Two loose boxes remain, each fitted with stone mangers and old hay racks. Upstairs are the former groom’s room and several spaces once used to store grain, fodder and equipment. A direct access leads to a small service courtyard. The outbuildings also include a former cowshed, a kennel, a barn, a large garage for around six vehicles, a former hayloft and a wine cellar. These various spaces offer many possibilities for use, storage or conversion, subject to the necessary permits. The property also includes a caretaker’s house of approximately 63 sqm, with its own independent entrance through a wide gate of about 5.50 metres, practical for deliveries or for keeping the different parts of the estate independent. On one level, this house comprises a kitchen, a bathroom with bathtub and WC, a large living room with fireplace and stove, and a bedroom. It can be entered from either the kitchen or the living room. The floors are tiled and there is central heating. Part of the roof has been redone. The house has its own enclosed garden with water points, fruit trees and a former henhouse, giving it true independence from the château. An additional building, formerly used as a henhouse, has electricity. It also has an upper floor offering further potential, but requiring complete renovation. These outbuildings, well preserved in their original layout, are a real asset to the property, whether for family use or for an equestrian, caretaking, hospitality or development project. Arrival at the property immediately sets the tone. Beyond an elegant entrance gate, a long drive leads to the château, marked at its start by two stone lions that enhance the majestic character of the approach. This vista leads to the main courtyard and then to the front steps of the residence. The château stands at the heart of a fully enclosed park of approximately 7.4 acres (3 hectares), made up of lawns, paths, flower beds and very fine old trees. The park features several mature species which create true landscaped vistas and give the estate an atmosphere that is at once sheltered, romantic and very green. A former walled kitchen garden is one of the most interesting areas of the park. It has numerous water points, a pond and a working fountain, as well as an orchard. Nearby are also a summer kitchen and a small shed for garden equipment. The park is extended by an adjoining meadow of approximately 4,500 sqm. On the other side of the road, the property includes a further 7.4 acres (3 hectares) or so, partly enclosed, with a small area formerly laid out as a riding arena. This land has a captured spring, piped to a small technical building housing the pumping system that sends the water back to the estate. A river runs along the bottom of the plot. The whole thus covers approximately 16 acres (6.5 hectares), offering a fine variety of ornamental park, meadows, enclosed areas, orchard, woodland and more natural land. An old pond to be restored completes the outdoor features and offers further potential for landscaping.

Hidden from view, in a green setting of more than 2.5 hectares, this sumptuous exceptional property elegantly combines the refinement of a characterful château with the authenticity of a preserved estate. It is perfectly suited to a tourist activity, with its professional kitchen, guest rooms, and two gîtes. Built around 1850, this château develops a harmonious square plan, articulated around a raised central body and two discreet wings on the garden level. The assertive verticality of the building—emphasized by four levels of windows, tall chimney stacks, and corbelled turrets known as pepperpots—gives it an imposing and perfectly balanced silhouette. Entrance to the premises is via a granite staircase leading to a sumptuous 40 m² hall. The ceiling height of 4.50 meters gives the whole a feeling of spaciousness and nobility. In the left wing, three reception rooms of 40 m², 45 m² and 22 m² follow one another, ideal for welcoming customers in a friendly atmosphere. The right wing houses the technical areas: a 38 m² professional kitchen, an office, cold rooms as well as bathrooms accessible to people with reduced mobility, all served by a corridor with refined woodwork. A superb curved staircase, adorned with an original wrought iron banister, leads to the upper floors. A second service staircase allows discreet circulation. The first floor houses four bedrooms, each with its own private shower room and toilet. Solid oak parquet floors contribute to the cozy and warm atmosphere. The second floor repeats this configuration, with four additional suites, just as elegant and comfortable. The top level offers a partially converted attic comprising two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchenette. The rest of the floor offers great potential for additional development. In the basement, an exceptional cellar: across the entire castle grounds, a long central corridor leads to nine superb vaulted rooms, entirely paved in stone, with independent exits. A space with multiple uses, combining character and functionality. The outbuildings consist of an orangery and a stable. The orangery is a beautiful building requiring restoration, made of stone and brick and roofed in slate. Its dimensions: 24 meters long and 11 meters wide. A large attic is possible. T he stable, itself, dates from 1880, made of rendered stone, comprising a central body framed by two wings. This building also requires restoration work. Its dimensions: 26 meters long and 13 meters wide. This building offers the possibility of having attics throughout. The park covers an area of approximately 2.5 hectares, partly enclosed by walls. The park has large trees of various species. There are notably two immense sequoias. Separated from the château and surrounded by ancient stone walls, two restored cottages have been built. The first cottage sleeps 6, and the second 4. A 5x10m swimming pool provides a refreshing dip. A rare location, steeped in history, perfect for creating a high-end hospitality business, this exceptional property offers a unique setting with elegance and potential.

A carriage ride from Paris, the Château de la Fontaine, an eternal fable. Just 35 kilometers from Paris, where the capital gradually yields to foliage and silence, the Château de la Fontaine in Auffargis emerges as a timeless interlude. Built for himself by the Parisian architect Jean-François Yvert between 1871 and 1875, the estate spans just over 1050 square meters. It stands at the heart of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Natural Park, embraced by the Rambouillet Forest, and overlooks the Abbey of Vaux-de-Cernay, a Cistercian jewel nestled in the valley. Architecturally, it echoes the Louis XIII style and the traditional brick and stone châteaux of the Île-de-France. Here, the stone does more than recount history; it whispers it, like the wind stirring through the asphodel leaves. This château is poetry, and more than that, a fable worthy of La Fontaine, where every façade and every perspective invites contemplation and reverie. Its theatrical elegance, expressed through carved woodwork, intimate proportions, and a meticulous attention to detail characteristic of the grand residences of its century, makes this jewel a true family home. A caretakers house and an outbuilding complete the ensemble. Surrounding it are 30 hectares of landscaped gardens and preserved nature, a verdant setting where the seasons unfold like a ballerina crossing the stage in an ethereal movement. Pathways trace meditative walks, clearings create moments of openness, and the entire estate seems suspended between dream and reality. An exceptional renovation, carried out with uncompromising standards, has reinterpreted the château for contemporary living without ever altering its soul. Modern comfort blends in discreetly: a wine cellar, spacious garage, heated indoor swimming pool, gym, billiard room with English bar, orangery, elevator Each a contemporary note inscribed within a perfectly orchestrated heritage composition. Five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are currently fitted, with the possibility of creating four additional bedrooms in the outbuilding. This property is an emotion, a rare address where the art of living converses with history, and where luxury expresses itself through grandeur in simplicity. Modest in scale yet radiant in spirit, this château carries within it the nobility of great houses. It invites its future custodian to continue an ancient legend patiently etched in stone, and to engrave their own, framed by the enduring word : family.

A listed medieval chateau, redesigned in the Renaissance, chapel, school and workshop, set in nearly 3 hectares of grounds, 40 minutes from Besançon. On the outskirts of the village, overlooking the fields, the chateau occupies a central position within the estate, on the site of a former 11th-century fortified castle that no longer exists. The south-western section consists of a tower and an entrance porch, where traces of the former 15th-century drawbridge are still visible. The courtyard facade was built in 1570 for Antoine d’Oiselay by the architect Hugues Sambin; both of whom were local figures. A major renovation project carried out in the early 19th century by the architect Marnotte on behalf of the de Magnoncourt family gave the complex its current layout, notably involving the raising of the roof and the creation of new interior fittings. The murals in the reception room date back to the 1980s and were painted by pupils at an art school. The building has an L-shaped layout, with a round medieval tower to the south-west and a square tower to the north-east. An outbuilding is situated to the north and is connected to it via a vestibule on the lower level. The building, comprising six storeys, includes a semi-basement housing cellars and the former kitchens, as well as an attic on the top floor. Built in the 1970s, the three-storey annexe was intended to be a school. Its converted loft houses a former cinema.
