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.
A small, 18th-century château, listed as a Historical Monument, on the border of the Champagne and Lorraine regions. In the middle of the village, on the corner of two streets, the property is located in a small, tranquil valley, which is within immediate proximity to schools, a local shop and a bar-tobacconist’s, while, behind its stone wall and tall wrought-iron gates, it is articulated around a main courtyard extended, in the back, by an L-shaped garden featuring a swimming pool, a barn and an outbuilding. Meticulous and romantic in appearance, with a subtly integrated swimming pool, the garden has been decorated with a number of statues and stone benches, delicately placed among the wisteria and flowerbeds, whereas a chicken coop has been cleverly concealed at one end of the garden and, to the right of the courtyard, a beautiful 19th-century orangery abuts the neighbouring property and is currently used as a garage.

iad France - Gilles Billaud offers you: You are part of the most prominent businesses in the Vendée department. Whether you are the owner or tenant of your headquarters, you acknowledge that it is soulless, and you suspect your employees lack enthusiasm for going there. Imagine relocating it, not to another department with the risk of losing your best talents, but nearby, to a simply idyllic location. A castle. Nothing less than that. This castle exists. It was built in the mid-19th century in the purest neo-classical style of Napoleon III's favorite architect, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc: the Château de Puybelliard, located in the municipality of Chantonnay. Admire its height, turrets, slate roof, and elegant shape in the attached photograph. Covering nearly 900 m², it represents the unexpected workplace for a workforce of thirty to fifty employees distributed in open space across its ten finely decorated rooms, spread over two floors, with a ceiling height of 4 meters. On the ground floor, two meeting rooms, one for large events and the other for smaller group meetings, will foster group think and collective emulation among your collaborators. A dining room featuring original paneling, previously used for a gourmet restaurant, will host them at lunchtime. A provider of your choice will prepare delicious meals for them in the kitchen, which is professionally equipped for this catering function. After lunch, your employees will gather in the adjacent bar, where, while having coffee, they can prepare to return to their workstations. Those who still have time can stroll in the park or even swim in the castle's pool during the lunch break in the summer. What better way to maintain a loyal and motivated workforce and avoid the inconveniences of turnover? Your products will be stored, as you wish, on the third floor, in the cellar, or in the two former stables, one of which is built of stone and particularly elegant. Transporters can access the entrance located on the departmental road to drop off or pick up your goods. The gardener and maids will reside in two adjoining cottages, ensuring an impeccable aesthetic for the park and impeccable cleanliness inside the castle, likely to dazzle clients, partners, or investors. Your brand, announced on the main gate on Rue des Dames, will be displayed at the roundabout inside the property, in front of the castle. You might think this is an oversized project? We do not need to remind you that acquiring a tangible asset opens a depreciation period of at least ten years*: we let you imagine the considerable corporate tax savings that would follow. And if your company generates during each financial year a result of one-tenth of the price of this castle, you will somehow have reimbursed it by the end of the depreciation period, by not paying the corresponding tax amount. We also do not need to remind you that any work you undertake in the castle or its annexes to embellish it or make it more functional would also be deductible from corporate tax. This magnificent castle awaits you, for a price of 1.1 million euros. (*) Tax modifiable period depending on the nature of the equipment concerned. Agency fees are the responsibility of the seller. A valid ID will be requested during the visit, in accordance with Article L.561-5 of the Monetary and Financial Code.

On the edge of Yvelines and Normandy, in the preserved village of Saint-Illiers-la-Ville, this castle built in 1850 unfolds its brick and plaster facades in the heart of a 4.5-hectare park. Its commanding position offers an unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside. The castle illustrates the eclectic architecture of the 19th century. Its symmetrical main façade is organized around a stone honor staircase and tall arched French doors, framed by two lateral gables. The elevations blend red brick with light plaster, punctuated by harped brick corner chains and brick-framed windows. Under the cornice, a decorative frieze with geometric motifs in polychrome adds a characteristic touch of the period. The building is topped with a high slate roof, entirely renewed, animated by dormer windows, a spire, and tall brick chimney stacks. Completely renovated in 2021, the castle offers 337 sqm of living space (407 sqm total surface) over three main levels, complemented by an attic and a basement. The ground floor is dedicated to reception: a tiled entrance opens onto two lounges and a dining room with generous volumes, extended by a 23 sqm kitchen. Parquet floors, moldings, chimney, plaster rosettes, and checkered floors create an authentic and luminous decor, served by large bays opening onto the park. The first floor hosts four bedrooms, served by a large landing and a bathroom. The second is organized around a large master suite and includes two other bedrooms, served by several bathrooms and water rooms. In total, seven bedrooms allow for hosting family and guests in rare comfort. The development potential is one of the property’s assets: the 70 sqm attic, already insulated and powered by electricity, lends itself to creating bedrooms, an office, or a leisure space without major work, while the basement offers the possibility of developing new living spaces, game room, wine cellar, gym, or spa depending on projects. All these volumes are available to support the evolution of a household or activity. The renovation combines character and contemporary comfort: pellet central heating, double-flow ventilation, air and water filtration systems, exterior lighting, electric gate, fencing, and car shelter. All technical installations needed for the creation of a pool have already been completed, leaving only the basin installation to be done. At the rear, a large stone-paved terrace with a balustrade overlooks the park and naturally extends receptions. The wooded park, planted with remarkable specimens and enclosed, provides a setting of greenery and tranquility around the residence. Just minutes from Bréval shops, the property benefits from easy access to the capital: Bréval station connected to Paris-Saint-Lazare in about fifty minutes, A13 motorway nearby. By its size, its volumes, and its location, the Saint-Illiers-la-Ville castle is suitable both for a family seeking a characterful main residence and for buyers looking for a quiet secondary residence near Normandy. Its spacious reception rooms, park, and expansion possibilities also make it suitable for a professional project, guest house, or reception venue, in an exceptional setting less than an hour from Paris.

Probably one of the most beautiful chateau in northern France, this magnificent building is located near Avesnes sur Helpe, in the heart of the Avesnois Regional Park, a few kilometers from Belgium and less than an hour from Lille and Brussels. The first traces of its eventful history date back to the 12th century, but it was around 1710 that the architect of the King's Buildings, Chevalier Pierre Bady, Lord of Aymerie, built the modern version. Heavily damaged and partially abandoned after the Revolutionary Wars, it was restored in the 19th century by its then owner, the Marquise de Nédonchel, who added an English-style park and made it her country residence. Today, remarkably restored and set in the middle of an estate of over 18 hectares consisting of woods, meadows, and ponds, it offers its character and charm to lovers of peace, nature, and space. With a living area of 2,000 m², the main body of the chateau is spread over three floors and a large basement, all served by a lift. The ground floor is dedicated to welcoming guests and entertaining, with its entrance hall, large dining room, veranda-living room, library, piano room, billiard room, and club-style lounge bar. The kitchens, the breakfast room or everyday dining room, the pantry, the wine cellar, and the technical rooms are located in the basement. The first floor is divided into four independent suites, each comprising a bedroom, bathroom, and small living room, as well as a children's suite, all arranged around a large central hallway. The second floor consists of the current owners' apartments, which open onto open-plan living areas with high ceilings, and also includes a gym, a jacuzzi, and a sauna. Outside, outbuildings and an old farmhouse offer plenty of space for conversion, as well as stables, several workshops, and a garage for storing classic cars, completing the property.

Réf.4802 : Chateau listed as a Historic Monument and its small chateau in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre The château is situated in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre region, between Nevers and Château-Chinon, on the outskirts of a small town of 900 inhabitants. Formerly the seat of a major medieval seigneury, the town developed on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Aron valley. The Nivernais Canal forms a loop within which the estate is situated. The Aron flows below. It is built on high ground and enjoys a magnificent view over the Nièvre countryside. The Morvan Regional Nature Park is nearby, a preserved natural area. The château is a 30-minute drive from Nevers and a 2 hour 40 minute drive from Paris. There is an aerodrome in Nevers, and a helicopter can land in the château grounds. The property comprises a 1,200 sqm château and a smaller 800 sqm château. THE CHATEAU : The château is built on a rectangular plan, over four storeys, with a slate gable roof. On the south-west façade, one can make out a former imposing chapel, now connected to the interior of the château, covered by a hipped roof, with two large pointed-arch windows. The main entrance is situated in the centre of a tall, projecting tower, spanning six storeys, topped by a hipped roof and housing a listed spiral staircase. The north-west façade, overlooking the terrace, is rendered in lime, featuring numerous mullioned windows in the larger sections and high-set dormer windows. The window frames are made of limestone. The south-east façade, offering a beautiful view of the Nièvre countryside, also features numerous windows, some of which are in a more classical 17th-C. style. A two-storey turret links the former chapel to the château. On the second and third floors there are twelve bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and wardrobe, ranging in size from 12 to 51 sqm. Beneath the roof of the former chapel lies a large 50 sqm study featuring a beautiful roof structure shaped like an upturned ship’s hull. Throughout the château, there are numerous preserved and restored architectural features, including floors, fireplaces, wood panelling, ceilings, and more. The interiors are very harmonious, of high quality, and perfectly respect this historic residence. THE SMALL CHATEAU : This is a 17th-C. building that originally housed outbuildings and large double-height stables. It has a rectangular layout over three storeys, plus an attic, and is covered with a slate Mansard roof. The main façade on the north-west side features a slight projection at its centre, with a pediment at the top, as well as at the ends, framed by stonework. The façades are lime-plastered. The interior surface area of the small château is approximately 800 sqm. THE 13TH-C. DEFENCE TOWER : This military defence tower has been converted into a self-contained flat. On the ground floor is a living room featuring antique terracotta tiles and a French-style ceiling. The tower contains various works by the designer and sculptor Pierre-Marie le Jeune, including a striking metal fireplace. A small kitchen has also been fitted out. Upstairs, there is a beautiful bedroom with a ‘sculpted bed’ and a glass ceiling revealing the magnificent roof structure, as well as a very contemporary bathroom with a glass bathtub. LAND : The park covers just over 12.3 acres. Around 1830, the landscape architect LAVENNE de CHOULOT designed an English-style park. It is through this park that one enters the estate. Heading south, we pass through a woodland with beautiful bridle paths that lead us to the edge of the Canal du Nivernais. From there, skirting the defence tower via a stone tunnel, we reach what was once the old kitchen garden, situated below the château’s terrace. Under the impetus of the current owners, this former kitchen garden has been transformed into a contemporary garden which has been awarded the ‘remarkable garden’ label. Water features have been created, resembling shattered fragments in which the sky and the château’s façade are reflected. Magnificent undulating rows of boxwood evoke the Nivernais bocage. This remarkable garden is bordered by a private canal running parallel to the Canal du Nivernais. Finally, a small French-style garden has been created on the upper terrace between the château and the 13th-C. tower. The views are magnificent, both from the lower garden towards the chateau terraces and from the upper gardens towards the Aron valley and the landscapes of the Nivernais countryside. This château is a truly historic family estate. Its size, location, surroundings, gardens and history make it a truly exceptional property. The high-quality restoration, which has been carried out with respect for the site’s history, means that a large family could move in immediately. The separation between the main château and the smaller château opens up a wide range of possibilities for activities without causing any disturbance. The development of an events business—such as conferences, corporate conventions, seminars, or private events like weddings, receptions, birthdays, etc.—is entirely feasible. It would also be possible to consider creating a hospitality (hotel) business. Finally, there is an opportunity to purchase additional land and buildings, subject to a price offer.

This 19th-century château is located on the banks of the Loire River, in a village with a regional train station offering connections to the TGV high-speed rail station, 25 minutes from Angers. The property benefits from direct access to Paris and Bordeaux, as well as to the train stations and airports of Angers and Nantes, two major economic and academic hubs in western France. The south-facing château rises four stories, all accessible by elevator. Its tufa stone façades, neo-Gothic dormer windows, and four corner pepperpot roofs attest to its refined architecture, fully restored between 2006 and 2008. Inside, the ground-floor reception rooms retain their herringbone parquet floors, marble fireplaces, and ornate ceilings. The upper floors offer fifteen bedrooms, distributed among them within the château's four turrets. Beyond its historical significance, this property offers a truly functional workspace.
