Whether you are in the market for a luxury family home, or a property to serve as an events venue, there's a perfect French castle for you.
Only 45 minutes from Bordeaux and its airport, this iconic castle of southern Gironde overlooks the Garonne Valley from a natural promontory, offering a remarkable panorama and a setting full of history. Built at the end of the 15th century in flamboyant Gothic style, and owned by the same family since 1594, it develops over 1,500 m² of living space arranged around two wings in right-angled projection, punctuated with towers, including a remarkable hexagonal tower richly decorated and a tower housing a chapel. The interior volumes reveal the nobility of the place: spacious reception rooms, library, dining room, billiard room with Cordovan leather decor, as well as about thirty rooms including many bedrooms with bathrooms. The period elements—parquets, moldings, fireplaces, and woodwork—testify to its authenticity. The estate extends within a high-quality landscaped environment, mixing gardens, centuries-old trees, pools, and fountains. Significant outbuildings, totaling approximately 1,500 m², complete the ensemble: orangery, former stables converted into a reception hall, barn, 17th-century dovecote, workshop, garage, ice house… offering exceptional potential for a large-scale project. Listed as a Historical Monument (but not classified), this castle provides a rare base for a prestigious private residence, a hotel or event project. Renovation work is needed to fully reveal the potential of this unique property. Additional hectares can be purchased separately.]}]}>more

Detailed 50-page brochure available upon request. Within 60 kilometers of Paris, in the heart of Île-de-France, between Chartres, Rambouillet and Maintenon, stands one of those estates that defies time. The Domaine d'Esclimont belongs to that infinitely exclusive circle of historic properties accessible within less than one hour from the capital — a rare geographical privilege, an absolute strategic certainty. A Renaissance Architectural Jewel At the heart of a listed park spanning nearly 60 hectares, the Château d'Esclimont embodies, with sovereign elegance, the enduring permanence of French architecture at its most noble. Erected in the 16th century, remodelled in the 18th, then sublimated in the 19th by the architect Parent — who breathed into it that Renaissance spirit so revered of the era — the château stands as a living manifesto. Every stone narrates centuries of history, every façade reveals the continuity of an uncompromising architectural vision. The principal château, built across three levels above its cellars, unfolds as two wings arranged at right angles upon a square platform encircled by living moats. The reception salons preserve remarkable period panelling — silent witnesses to the grace of centuries past. The estate further comprises a 14th-century square keep, a former guardhouse crowned with a machicolated walkway and four corner turrets, a pavilion dating from 1870, its dependencies, and the château's outbuildings. The total built surface reaches nearly 4,000 m², set within an exceptional natural setting where a formal French garden and a sweeping English landscape park engage in a subtle, timeless dialogue. Water, Stone, Light — The Three Virtues of the Estate The abundance of water that flows through the domain — moats, ornamental ponds, natural mirrors — bestows upon Esclimont that suspended, almost ethereal atmosphere that only the greatest châteaux of Île-de-France can offer. Here, nature is not mere backdrop: it is an architecture in its own right, in constant dialogue with stone, amplifying the majesty of the place. Exceptional Potential for a landmark Hospitality Project Esclimont is not simply a legacy — it is an opportunity for creation, awaiting a visionary hospitality operator. Its transformation potential into a landmark French destination of the highest order is exceptional, underpinned by a validated planning permit for an ambitious hotel development of nearly 5,700 m². The approved programme includes: 50 rooms and suites distributed between the château and its elegant dependencies 27 suites spread across the estate A full wellness SPA with both indoor and outdoor pools Technical and maintenance annexes From suites within the towers of the medieval keep to character apartments in the restored outbuildings and throughout the Château itself, every space carries the promise of a singular experience — that of a distinctly French art de vivre, deeply rooted in history yet resolutely oriented toward contemporary excellence.

An 18th-century Italian-style chateau with tree-dotted grounds and a swimming pool, 50 minutes from Toulouse. The property extends over 1.5 hectares; its history spans nine centuries. It comprises a chateau consisting of an avant-corps and a prominent wing, an independent building with several vaulted rooms at its base, a terrace overlooking the parklands with a long swimming pool bordered by an annex, the caretaker's cottage of approx. 100 m² and a 1930 theatre. The main entrance is through the east gate. Framed by two high brick pillars topped by terracotta pinecones, the large automated gate opens onto a gravel courtyard providing parking for several vehicles. To the left, a path runs across a generously wooded stretch of garden, winding its way down to the lower part of the grounds. Two stone sphinxes and several terracotta putti adorn the balustrade of the first terrace. In the south-east corner of the terrace stands an independent square 15th-century lodge, parts of which are listed. Several doors to the right of the entrance provide direct access from the courtyard to the main section of the chateau. To the west of the property, a more discreet gate leads to the other part of the grounds. To the right, the elongated swimming pool is bordered by an annexe building with brick and pebble walls, a technique traditionally used in the region. A terrace hidden from view stretches out from this building. The driveway leads to a large terrace with a terracotta tile floor offering a panoramic view over the wooded valley.

Built from the 14th century onwards and remodelled in the 19th century, this exceptional estate combines history and prestige.
