A charming footbridge spans the river, marking the boundary of the property, yet inviting you to go and say hello to the neighbours… A bear with its arms full awaits you there, reminding you that the Risle is considered the most beautiful river in Normandy, where spotting salmonids is no mere legend…. The estate is flat, laid out in the English style, dotted with meadows interspersed with trees and wild bushes. An imposing stone balustrade invites you down to the river, lending a touch of prestige to the property, dotted here and there with pedestals supporting elegant MEDICIS vases. The property has several entrances, one of which, on the roadside, offers a glimpse of a festooned gate, supported by tall stone pillars of the finest presence. The eye is drawn into the distance towards the wooded banks of the Risle, the verdant pastures that accompany it towards civilisation; nothing can disturb the magic of the place, a magic that the centuries have preserved.

The property is accessed via a 50m private driveway. On either side, there is an orchard and lawn, and a first outbuilding of 100m2 used as a garage and storage shed with adjoining parking. A motorized wrought-iron gate disappears, allowing you to cross a fixed bridge. Beneath your feet, the water-filled moat, fed by a stream, whispers the history of this ancient stronghold. A large, square-plan reception courtyard, in the French style, measuring 1500 m2, is bordered by three buildings: The MANOR HOUSE, approximately 210 m2, is all on one level. With a ceiling height of 3.70 m, a large entrance hall provides access to the second part of the park. On the right, an elegant 52 m2 living room, a library with alcove, toilet and shower room nestled in one of the turrets. On the left, a 29 m2 dining room separated from the kitchen by timber framing. Adjoining this is a 46 m2 master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom in the second turret; a toilet and dressing room complete this wing. Antique terracotta tiles, herringbone parquet flooring, half-timbering and beams, preserved materials. Large attic of 210 m2 above.

Pleasant town with all shops within walking distance of the property and heritage. A bit of history: This manor, mentioned as early as the end of the 15th century, originally had a defensive role. Protected by its moat and overlooking the river and its mills, it also controlled access to the town. From the 17th century onwards, it gradually lost its role as a fortified house and was transformed into a pleasure property at the beginning of the 18th century. Completely preserved during the Revolution, it passed from family to family and became the property of a deputy from Yonne in the 19th century. Still maintained and modernized by heritage enthusiasts, it is now available to you. Contact Laurent Sineau for information and visits. Diagnostics are currently being carried out.

Réf. 4855 : a charming castle 30 km from Angers. In Upper Anjou, this charming little château, built in the early 19th century at the behest of the current owners’ ancestors, stands on a promontory and commands a commanding view over the Oudon valley. This elegant residence immediately captivates with the purity of its lines and the quality of its setting in the heart of a beautiful wooded park, a veritable haven of greenery in which it has found its place remarkably well. Close to Angers, and not far from the market town of Le Lion d’Angers, which is a five-minute drive away, this property enjoys a favourable location between Paris and the coast, and a central position linking it to the major cities of the West: Nantes, Rennes, Le Mans and Bordeaux. Just a stone’s throw away, the Parc de l’Isle Briand is home to one of the world’s most renowned equestrian venues. It is bordered by the Lion d’Angers racecourse, which hosts several internationally recognised equestrian events each year. Quiet yet not isolated, the property captivates with both the purity of its classical style and the unobstructed views offered by the surrounding countryside. The setting is ideal for family life as well as for a refined country residence. The château’s architecture, characterised by great simplicity, reflects the style of the fine mansions of the Anjou region: a symmetrical layout, tall windows and well-balanced proportions. The eye is drawn here more to the overall harmony than to decorative elements, lending the whole building a great deal of distinction. Inspired by the Loire Valley style, it was built in local stone and tuffeau limestone to a four-storey plan with a slate roof and four bays arranged around a slightly projecting central bay, thanks to the monumental entrance portal, framed by simple pilasters supporting a moulded entablature with dentils. The particularly elegant semi-circular door is surmounted by a fan-shaped transom window that lends the whole structure a sense of delicacy and verticality. Also of note is the presence, as on the south side, of a pretty double-curved staircase on the north side. These interior spaces cover an area of approximately 400 sqm and are laid out as follows: On the raised ground floor: an entrance hall, from which a remarkable balustrade staircase rises, provides access to a series of adjoining rooms—the reception room, music room, study, large sitting room and dining room—and to a hallway leading to a kitchen and a small sitting room. These rooms are adorned with attractive decorative features, marble fireplaces, beautiful antique parquet flooring, wooden picture rails and moulded ceilings. On the first floor: a landing leads to a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom on one side, and to a gallery leading to three bedrooms, a dressing room and two bathrooms. Just like on the ground floor, you can see antique parquet flooring, attractive decorative features, marble fireplaces, wooden picture rails and ornate ceilings. On the second floor: a corridor leads to former staff bedrooms in the attic. On the basement: former service rooms used for storage and as a boiler room. Outbuildings : The property comprises the following outbuildings: 1/ A former U-shaped stable building enclosing a square courtyard to the east, with a walled rear courtyard to the west, built of local stone and tuffeau with a slate roof (recently re-roofed). It comprises several rooms used for storage, workshops and a garage, as well as two functional dwellings: The annexe: on the ground floor, a living room with a kitchen area and a staircase leading to the upper floor, plus a toilet. On the first floor, three bedrooms, a shower room and a toilet. Features include original terracotta floor tiles, simple window frames and double glazing, heating via a wood-burning insert and electric convector heaters, hot water supplied by an electric boiler, and a private sewage system in need of upgrading. The caretaker’s accommodation: on the ground floor, entrance hall with staircase leading to the upper floor, toilet, kitchen and bedroom on the same level. On the first floor, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. Features single window frames and double glazing, heating via a wood-burning stove, hot water supplied by an electric boiler, private sewage system in need of updating. 2/ Other outbuildings: sheepfold, adjoining stable, kennel and woodshed in need of renovation. A large and magnificent 16 acres of English-style parkland, featuring beautiful trees dating back several centuries (cedars, redwoods, oaks, chestnut trees, sweet chestnuts, camellias, etc.), a charming little pond and a large walled vegetable garden. There is a well on the property. One immediately feels a sense of tranquillity and harmony, as if the place naturally invites you to slow down, contemplate and savour an environment that has remained unspoilt.

A stone staircase leads to a large wooden door which opens in to an expansive hall which highlights many of the architectural features of the château.

In total the ground floor area is about 290m2 and this is replicated on the first floor which also has 5 rooms which require upgrading. The second floor attic is also extensive and would need some configuring as no rooms currently exist and the roof structure is visible.

The parkland around the château extends to around 2 hectares and is laid mostly to lawn with numerous mature trees providing shade and perspective to the natural vista.

Just 6 km from amenities, the château is located in a village in the heart of Lower Ardèche, already Mediterranean in its climate and landscapes. This peaceful region, on the edge of the Cévennes, offers a rare natural setting, with forests, plains, and vineyards, all bathed in Mediterranean light. The estate, in a single block, extends over 19.3 hectares, providing a preserved environment and great tranquility. This Renaissance château, whose origins date back to the 14th century, was transformed at the end of the 15th century into a true château of pleasure, with its south-facing façade, numerous mullioned windows with interior wooden shutters, and a corbelled tower to the west. Its central hexagonal tower houses a spiral staircase that lends rare elegance to the whole. The property is partially listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments (ISMH). With 550 m² of buildings, including 400 m² of living space, the château offers: - A large living room with exposed beam ceiling and adjoining library, as well as two additional reception rooms. - Two kitchens, including a vaulted summer kitchen on the ground floor, recently refurbished, as well as the main kitchen with adjoining dining room. - Seven bedrooms, including a master suite with Versailles-style parquet flooring and an antechamber. - Four magnificent fireplaces, stone floors, terracotta tiles, and period parquet. - A secondary access via a stone walkway connecting the second floor to a private parking area on the estate grounds. - Four vaulted cellars and partially convertible attics complete the property. The property also includes the possibility of a self-contained private apartment, featuring a spacious living room with open-plan kitchen and fireplace, a bedroom, a shower room, toilets, and a utility room. An ideal setup for welcoming guests in style or providing comfortable accommodation for staff. The exterior is equally remarkable: three vast successive Italian-style terraces with panoramic views, the first of which shelters a covered area with barbecue, an old bread oven, and a basin ready to be brought back to life. On the grounds, a magnificent period dovecote/pigeon tower recalls the estate’s history and authenticity. The panoramic view over the Cévennes plain, facing due south, is simply spectacular! Our opinion: This château is truly without equal in the region: a characterful residence of rare authenticity, carefully restored with exemplary modern comfort. Its Renaissance influence is clearly perceptible in the elegance of its architecture, while offering high-quality features in an exceptional natural environment. A property for true heritage lovers, seeking a primary or secondary residence that is almost turnkey, with strong patrimonial value and a preserved, peaceful, and inspiring setting.

Ref.4341: Beautiful property for sale in the french Centre area. On the borders of the Sologne and Pays-Fort Sancerrois regions, in the department of Cher, stands the silhouette of this beautiful 19th-century masterpiece. Strategically located in the centre of France, it is within easy reach of the capital (185 km), the first ski resorts (Clermont-Ferrand, 230 km) and Switzerland (Geneva, 410 km). More locally, towns such as Aubigny sur Nère have all the shops and services you need. The town also has a bread depot. The pleasant town of Aubigny sur Nère boasts a rich historical past, as evidenced by its castle, which earned it the name of ‘City of the Stuarts’. It was in 1421, following a Franco-Scottish victory at the Battle of Baugé, that the Dauphin, the future King Charles VII, donated the seigneury of Aubigny to Lord John Stuart of Darnley to thank him for lending him a helping hand. Later, his descendant Robert Stuart built the castle that bears his name, which today houses the Auld Alliance Interpretation Centre. This handsome castle, with its imposing stance, reveals living spaces that are human in scale and easy to use. Facing north-south, it comprises a central body built of brick and dressed stone chainwork topped with a slate gable roof, flanked on either side by two symmetrical pavilions of the same style. With almost 900 sqm of living space, the castle comprises two stories over a basement, with an attic that can be converted as follows: Ground floor: a vast hallway of approx. 60 sqm with 3.8 m (9.9 ft) high ceilings leads to a dining room with a fireplace to the east, followed by a lovely, luminous kitchen. To the north is a study and to the west, a billiards room and a lounge. A dressing room, wc and two stairwells (main and secondary) complete this first level. On the first floor, a long corridor leads to 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms or shower rooms, some with wc. Attic above. Full basement with games room, fitness room, cinema room, boiler room, laundry room, swimming pool room, woodshed and storage space. The outbuildings: To the south-east of the château, with private access, a house of around 300 m² offers interesting potential. Now divided into 3 dwellings, it is currently being renovated: A first flat on the ground floor with a large living room, utility room and bathroom. A second flat on two levels with a living room with open-plan kitchen, utility room and toilet on the ground floor, and 4 bedrooms, a bathroom and toilet on the first floor. A third and final flat on the first floor with a living room and open-plan kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a shower room with toilet. To the north is a large hangar of approx. 300 m² used as a garage, which could also be used for other projects. Finally, to the east, an 11x5 m heated chlorine swimming pool with a pleasant pool house equipped with a kitchenette/bar, sanitary facilities and a terrace promises pleasant moments of relaxation. In a quiet, discreet setting, in the heart of 32 acres of grounds, the château enjoys a dominant position with uninterrupted views over the countryside. To the south of the chateau is a beautiful English-style parkland, perfectly maintained and planted with numerous trees of varying species. To the north, a forest has been converted into a racetrack and a young plantation of 1,000 vines completes this homogeneous ensemble. All of this forms a natural ring around the château, separating it from the neighbouring cereal crops and meadows and giving it all the privacy expected of such a residence.
