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.

On the second floor, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a workshop/laundry room, and a large room ready for conversion. A large cellar.

Réf. 4661 : Monumental castellan ensemble in Berry, near a renowned sanctuary In the historic province of Berry, within the Indre département, we present an impressive castellated ensemble located at the meeting point of two distinct natural regions: the Champagne Berrichonne and the Boischaut Nord. The former is a gently undulating landscape of open plains dedicated to cereal cultivation, stretching between the Indre and Cher départements. The latter, with more pronounced relief, is characterised by woodlands and hedgerows, interspersed with streams feeding into the nearby River Indre. Paris lies 280 km to the north, and Tours less than 100 km away. Châteauroux, the local administrative centre, is under 30 km from the estate and offers all the amenities and services of a mid-sized town, including a station on the Paris–Toulouse rail line and access to the A20 motorway. For day-to-day needs, the small town of Buzançais is less than a ten-minute drive. The region also enjoys considerable appeal from a tourism perspective. The Val de l’Indre Golf Course is just 11 km away, while the Brenne Regional Nature Park—also known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes—is only slightly further afield. The European Route d’Artagnan, dedicated to equestrian tourism, passes directly by the château, which is fully equipped to accommodate both horses and riders. Most notably, the property lies just minutes from the Marian sanctuary of Pellevoisin. Following a recent decision by the Vatican and a full renovation of its facilities due for completion by 2026, the sanctuary is expected to attract a significant increase in pilgrim visitors in the coming years. The history of the château is closely linked to the Brillac, or Brilhac, family, who are believed to have acquired it through marriage around 1300. At the end of the 15th century, Charles de Brillac, Master of the Household to King Louis XII, rebuilt the old medieval fortress. The new château he had constructed is characteristic of a transitional period. It retains the appearance of a medieval castle with ostentatious military architecture (keep, machicolated towers), while its layout already reflects that of a pleasure residence. Later, from 1636 onwards, another lord of the estate, Jean Phelyppeaux, seigneur of Buzançais and Palluau, added significant outbuildings forming a U-shape around a lower courtyard. Finally, after 1830, the De Lamotte family transformed the château’s south wing into a modern three-storey residence, with floors dedicated respectively to service, reception, and family life. This is how the castle complex appears to us today. The property comprises a group of buildings where the château proper can be distinguished from the outbuildings. The château includes a listed section with a keep and two round towers with conical roofs and a machicolated walkway. The keep rises over five floors and is flanked at the corners by three watchtowers and a stair tower. The first floor is a vast hall with ribbed vaulting. The upper floors each feature a large room of around 80 m² with monumental fireplaces. The central tower, known as the Brillac tower, has four floors, the top three each containing a room of approximately 40 m², with monumental fireplaces. The last tower has two levels of bedrooms, one of which includes an antechamber and a bathroom. These three towers are connected by two galleries on two levels. On the ground floor, peristyles with flamboyant Gothic-style decoration. On the upper level, one open arcaded gallery and one enclosed gallery with monumental fireplaces. The 19th-century residence is a long, classically styled building with two main floors, flanked by towers. The ground floor includes the service areas: a large stone-paved kitchen, a vestibule with staircase and mezzanine, and various small rooms. The first floor, divided by a fine cross hallway, is a reception area with a large wood-panelled drawing room, a small salon, and a study. The top floor is an intimate living space with a library, four bedrooms, dressing rooms and antechambers, and two bathrooms. Each floor of the residence has approximately 220 sqm of living space. Outbuildings: The outbuildings offer nearly 3,000 sqm of available space, mainly grouped within a long 17th-century structure arranged in a U-shape around the lower courtyard. Built over two levels, including an attic floor, the building is roofed with traditional flat clay tiles. The attic is lit by gabled or mill-style dormer windows with triangular pediments. The various sections comprise: -A corner pavilion, roofed in slate and converted into a caretaker’s house of approximately 150 sqm of habitable space. -The so-called 'Eastern Outbuildings', featuring the entrance porch to the village and large rooms fitted out as a local history museum. -At the corner, a bread oven and a three-storey round tower with a conical roof and adjoining spiral stair turret. -The 'Northern Outbuildings', an extensive wing including: A communal kitchen for around 60 people; Five bedrooms accommodating between 1 and 11 guests, each with an individual shower room; A refectory or banquet hall; A secondary dining area known as the 'Arcade Room'; Two small kitchens; Communal WCs and showers. -A corner pavilion containing a two-room apartment awaiting conversion. The 'Western Outbuildings', housing: A central heating plant; A workshop; A tack room; Stables and storage areas. Separated from the western outbuildings by a second arched gateway leading into the estate is a 19th-century barn with large timber doors, roofed in slate and currently used for storing agricultural vehicles. Additional features on the estate include: -A mill housing a 19th-century micro hydroelectric power station. -A charming lakeside pavilion, in need of restoration. -A large timber storage barn. The estate extends over a total area of 35.7 hectares and is entirely enclosed by a perimeter wall measuring approximately 2.5 kilometres in length—an exceptional feature. The grounds are criss-crossed by paths that divide the property into several distinct zones: Ten hectares of arable land, currently under direct cultivation. A large horse paddock of just over 2 hectares, located to the rear of the western outbuildings. An enclosed field of 3.5 hectares. -A pond of slightly more than 3 hectares, complete with its own pavilion. -A reference orchard featuring several varieties of quince trees. -An avenue lined with eight apple trees. -Meadows and pastureland.

Réf. 4866: Charming château near Avallon (Yonne) – ideal for a hotel business The château is situated in the Yonne department, in Burgundy. It lies at the heart of the Morvan Regional Nature Park, between the towns of Avallon and Vézelay. The château is set in the rural, rolling countryside typical of the Morvan, at an altitude of around 230 metres, in the midst of extensive wooded grounds. This location provides a peaceful, leafy natural setting, ideal for nature and heritage tourism. It is an excellent base from which to explore the treasures of southern Yonne and the Morvan. The main tourist attractions nearby are: The Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene in Vézelay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The historic town of Avallon. The natural landscapes of the Morvan Regional Nature Park. The Chapel of Saulce-d’Island, a remnant of a former Templar and Hospitaller commandery. Numerous hiking trails, horse riding routes and Burgundian heritage sites. Two architectural periods thus coexist: a section dating from the 15th century, comprising a rectangular main building flanked by a rectangular tower at the front and a round tower at the rear; and two projections on the façades, one of which connects to the late 18th-century extension, consisting of a large rectangular structure with numerous windows, the east gable of which features two round towers. The corner buttresses are made of stone, as are the window towers. The roofs of the main buildings are covered with flat tiles; the roofs of the towers are slate. They are regularly maintained. The façades are covered with an old lime render. The current owners have converted this château into a commercial venture comprising, to date, around 25 rooms, flats and holiday cottages. A restaurant was in operation. The chateau covers an area of approximately 1,500 sqm: The ground floor (with 3-metre-high ceilings) comprises a reception room, a dining room (45 sqm) with a large stone fireplace, a professional kitchen, storerooms, a private flat (80 sqm), a lounge/billiard room and bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. French windows provide direct access to the grounds. From the double-length hall, a stone staircase leads to the first floor, which is the main floor, with a ceiling height of approximately 3.5 metres. To the right is a large, double-length reception room of approximately 70 sqm, featuring a French-style ceiling painted with decorative motifs; the walls are entirely panelled in late 18th-century woodwork, and the floors are laid with parquet. The rest of this first floor has been entirely converted into around ten bedrooms and bathrooms. They have retained their original features, such as marble or stone fireplaces, parquet or terracotta tile floors, and partial or full panelling. The numerous windows flood the space with light. The second floor comprises a dozen bedrooms and bathrooms. The 18th-century section is partly in the attic. Here too, certain original features have been preserved. In the 15th-century section, a third attic floor houses a 45 sqm seminar room and four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Beautiful exposed beams are visible. Outbuildings : They cover an area of approximately 500 sqm. They are situated on the north side of the courtyard. The first brick buildings were formerly stables; the central section has a first floor and could be converted into a self-contained flat. The second building is certainly older. It is more imposing and comprises a ground floor housing, amongst other things, a workshop and various utility rooms, and an upper floor partly converted into a holiday let. They are in good visible condition. These buildings offer potential for further development. The grounds cover 21 acres of which approximately 6.2 hectares are landscaped as a park. The main entrance is through a large wrought-iron gate leading into a spacious courtyard serving all the buildings. An old entrance on the south side opens onto a majestic avenue of chestnut trees, aligned with the château. From this avenue, one emerges onto a vast expanse of greenery, flanked on either side by meadows offering stunning views of the countryside and the foothills of the Morvan. There are some beautiful trees on the grounds. There is a small pond near the outbuildings. The whole property is idyllic, charming and completely free from any nuisance.
