At the border of these three beautiful central regions (Nivernais / Bourbonnais / Berry), 2 hours and 30 minutes from Paris, the vast MH castle was built on the foundations of a 16th-century enclosure closed by corner towers, one of which remains the chapel; an honor courtyard bordered by vast harmonious outbuildings. This lordship has no defensive elements in this pleasure place, which was solely designed for hunting. Hidden in a set of nearly 16 hectares of English parkland, groves, meadows surrounded by oaks and crossed by a stream, a shaded body of water, the castle offers a clear view of its own estate from its floors. Deer and does from the neighboring forests come to graze or roar peacefully in the meadow bordered by hunting forests. The castle has about twenty rooms, including large reception rooms (fireplaces, parquet floors, large bays letting in light from the park where the deer roars). Numerous tax exemption works have been carried out and can be continued despite the excellent general condition of the rooms: renovation of the floor with 7 bedrooms equipped with 6 shower rooms. Energy class: DPE not required. XVIII-century classified outbuildings: barn-stable; barn-cattle shed; staff houses (possibility of gîtes). This rare gem of classical architecture, unique in this region, has been fully respected in the charm and harmony of the original renovated elements. This castle also has an interior layout compatible with contemporary life and vast reception volumes. Its external estate, of almost 16 hectares, offers a perimeter of tranquility, augmented by the advantage of a calm region, highly accessible as it is central, and geographically varied. As a historical residence, the castle also enjoys the benefits of historic monuments, sought after for their label and their "tax exemption": if opened to the public: 40% DRAC subsidies, 25% from the General Council, and 25% from the department; the remaining 10% of the works borne by the owner being deductible from income). • Immediate proximity to hunting in private and state forests; • 2 minutes from a town with shops (markets, fairs...); 5 minutes from 3 beautiful historic towns • 2 hours and 30 minutes from Paris Historical and architectural file complete with serious references and on research mandate. https://demeure.biz/honoraires.htm Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.frThis description has been automatically translated from French.

Historic Manor House Listed as a Monument, Set Within an Unspoilt Landscaped Estate Location and accessibility Set within a peaceful and unspoilt rural environment, this distinguished historic property lies in the northern part of the Pays de la Loire region, in the department of Mayenne, close to the town of Sillé-le-Guillaume. The latter provides a full range of everyday amenities as well as a railway station offering regular services to Le Mans, reached in approximately twenty minutes. The location offers a rare balance between privacy and ease of access. Le Mans, with its TGV high-speed rail connections, is around 50 kilometres away. Alençon lies approximately 30 kilometres to the north, while Laval, which benefits from an airport, is less than an hour’s drive. An access to the motorway network can be reached in about thirty minutes, allowing travel to Paris in roughly two and a half hours. Two nearby villages offer essential local shops, including a bakery and grocery store, while the broader commercial and service infrastructure of Sillé-le-Guillaume ensures day-to-day convenience without compromising the rural character of the setting. ⸻ A discreet approach and a carefully structured natural setting The property is approached via a quiet country lane, followed by a private driveway that crosses open pastureland and gently rolling countryside. This leads to an historic entrance porch, which opens onto a spacious main courtyard forming the heart of the estate. The manor house is arranged around this courtyard, accompanied by several stone-built outbuildings positioned to the east and west, while an additional annex completes the enclosure. A secondary access road runs alongside the main residence and serves the outbuildings located to the rear of the property. Meadows extend on either side of the driveway and continue northwards into an established oak woodland, which then stretches westward. To the rear of the manor, a landscaped garden overlooks a gently flowing stream. Beyond this watercourse, two further meadows are accessed via a stone bridge, creating a continuous and harmonious estate layout. ⸻ The manor house – Architectural character Constructed of stone and rendered rubble masonry, the manor is partially built over ancient cellars. It rises over four levels, including two attic storeys, and presents a refined architectural composition typical of historic noble residences in the region. The slate roofs are pitched on two sides and punctuated by sculpted dormer windows that animate the elevations. Stone-mullioned windows rhythmically punctuate the façades, while a double-flight stone staircase leads to the principal entrance, enhancing the sense of arrival. At the rear, the main building is complemented by a series of distinctive architectural features: a square tower capped with a pavilion roof, a stair tower, and a round tower topped with a conical “pepper-pot” roof. A smaller adjoining structure, attached to the eastern side of the square tower, rises over two levels beneath a hipped slate roof. An independent cellar, accessible from the exterior, is built of small-cut sandstone masonry and is thought to date from the 11th or 12th centuries, attesting to the long history of the site. The façades and roofs of the manor, along with the low eastern wing, are officially listed as Historic Monuments. ⸻ Interior layout Ground floor The main entrance opens directly into a generous reception room combining living and dining areas. This central space is also accessible via a secondary entrance located within the stair tower, allowing for fluid circulation. From here, access is provided to a study, a kitchen housed within the square tower, and a corridor with guest facilities leading to the round tower. The lower level of this tower has been converted into a unique wellness area, comprising a bathroom, sauna, fireplace, and vaulted ceiling. The kitchen connects to an adjoining service room used as a pantry and boiler room. Throughout this level, the property retains a wealth of period features, including monumental granite fireplaces, stone window surrounds, and paneled wooden doors fitted with original ironwork, some crowned with carved stone decorations. Stained glass panels remain in the upper sections of the windows. Floors are largely laid with terracotta tiles, and ceilings feature exposed timber beams. ⸻ First floor A stone spiral staircase leads to the first floor, which includes a bedroom and a shower room located within the round tower, complete with a fireplace and separate toilet. A first-floor sitting room provides access to a second bedroom located in the square tower, followed by a corridor leading to an additional shower room, separate toilet facilities, and a third bedroom. This level is distinguished by large fireplaces with painted granite surrounds. One partition wall features a decorated beam adorned with painted cartouches depicting geometric motifs, floral arrangements, and stylised landscapes characteristic of 17th-century ornamentation. Terracotta floors and exposed beams continue throughout. ⸻ Second floor The staircase continues to the upper level, where a landing gives access to a bedroom in the round tower, featuring a painted fireplace, historic wood panelling, and a ceiling with radiating timber beams. A water point adjoins this room. A separate landing leads to two further bedrooms, a bathroom, independent toilet facilities, and a storage room. An additional bedroom, located in the square tower, benefits from a substantial stone and brick fireplace. A series of interconnected attics, totalling approximately 41 sqm, link the upper levels of the main house and both towers. Exposed roof timbers offer further potential for adaptation, subject to the necessary permissions. ⸻ Outbuildings Several stone-built outbuildings with slate roofs are arranged around the main courtyard. To the east, a two-storey former agricultural building offers approximately 240 sqm of floor space. Stone-paved floors and original feeding racks remain in place, reflecting its historic use. It is currently arranged as a workshop, with a large upper-level hall. To the west of the courtyard, a second outbuilding extends over roughly 220 sqm across two levels, including attic space, and is presently used for storage and as a granary. To the rear of the manor, a large open-sided barn supported by two stone pillars provides approximately 117 sqm of ground surface, with a ridge height of 8.75 metres. ⸻ Grounds and landscape The estate combines structured gardens, open pastureland, and mature woodland into a cohesive and serene environment. The access drive, lined with apple trees, leads to a grassed courtyard centred around a mature lime tree. Surrounding paths are planted with roses, trees, and shrubs of varied species. Below the manor, a medieval-inspired garden overlooks the stream. It is arranged into enclosed green “rooms” bordered by hornbeam hedges and enhanced by box and yew topiary. One section is dedicated to medicinal plants, accompanied by the gentle sound of running water. The meadows, reached via a stone bridge, extend to the north and south-west of the property. They are framed by hedgerows and winding watercourses, while the oak woodland borders the land to the north and continues westward, completing this rare and harmonious historic estate.

Located in a small municipality in the Indre department, the property is about 35 kilometers from Châteauroux, 30 kilometers from Vierzon, and 2 hours and 30 minutes from Paris. It includes a castle, a caretaker's house, farm buildings, and predominantly wooded land, complemented by a recreational park. The Castle was built in two parts, as the central part burned down in the 19th century. The main building is a quadrangular construction with two levels, each pierced by three bays. It is topped with a high hipped roof. The tower has three levels, the last of which is illuminated by a hanging dormer window, surmounted by a triangular pediment. On each side, but oriented differently, are two wings. Their roofs, in the Mansard style, combining tiles and slates, indicate that these parts are older. The exteriors were renovated a few years ago, as were some of the roofs. The castle rises on two main levels (excluding the attic). The ground floor includes the main living rooms (three lounges, a dining room), a technical area with the kitchen, pantry, laundry room, and a sleeping area with a bedroom and a bathroom. The first floor has 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The bedrooms are comfortable and warm, mostly with a washbasin. A staircase provides access to the unconverted attic. Several dependencies complement this property. On the right of the Castle, a long building was constructed in the early 20th century, which now houses the caretaker's apartment, divided into a living room, kitchen, and three bedrooms on two levels. Then, a relaxation area with a large living room on the garden level and two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Finally, there is an old saddlery. The land consists of a 28-hectare forest massif, mainly populated by cedars undergoing conversion to regular coppice, managed under a Simple Management Plan (PSG). The rest of the property includes a leisure park. EPC: F/E Price HAI: €695,000 (net seller price: €660,000 - fees of 5.3% including VAT borne by the purchaser).

A rare neo-classical residence inspired by Northern Europe. In the heart of unspoiled countryside, at the meeting point of Berry and Bourbonnais and only 2h30 south of Paris by motorway (exit 16 km away), lies an exceptional property, seldom seen on the market. Classified as a Historic Monument, this château benefits from a particularly advantageous fiscal framework, with up to 90% subsidies for restoration work on protected areas, the remainder potentially deductible from taxable income. Owned by the same family for over 700 years, the estate is deeply rooted in the history of Bourbonnais. Built around 1730 on the foundations of a former feudal motte, it was the home of the Cadier family, one of the region’s oldest lineages, in service to the Dukes of Bourbon as early as 1286. In the 19th century, the château was enhanced with major architectural features: a double-revolution grand staircase, a Palladian-style vestibule, and gardens designed by the architect Lalos. Constructed in polychrome brick typical of the region, the building captivates with its symmetrical façade crowned by a triangular pediment. Its circular towers blend French classicism with influences from Northern Europe, giving the ensemble a distinctive architectural identity. Inside, the château offers generous living and reception spaces. It includes six bedrooms and suites, each with its own bathroom, adorned with 18th‑century decorative elements. The reception rooms—spacious salons, an Italian-inspired dining room, and an office with period woodwork—provide impressive volumes. The estate also includes a remarkably preserved chapel, a dovecote, large noble stables, a 200 m² reception hall, and several additional dwellings. Facing south, the park extends toward a pond, within landscaped grounds featuring century-old oaks, plane trees, chestnut trees, and meadows suitable for horses or fallow deer.

Ref 4828: Château and outbuildings for sale in the Vendée The property is situated in the heart of the Vendée bocage, considered one of the most striking landscapes in the Vendée. This region, often compared to the English countryside, is characterised by its rolling hills, fields bordered by hedgerows, forests, rivers and charming sunken lanes. Nestled in a peaceful, green setting, the property nevertheless benefits from its proximity to the lively town of Pouzauges, just 8 km away. The town offers a friendly atmosphere, numerous events organised throughout the year and a particularly vibrant community life. Finally, the famous Puy du Fou site, a major tourist destination welcoming nearly three million visitors each year, is just 25 km away. Access to the château is via a pleasant country road running alongside the property’s wall. Once through the gate, a gravel path leads to a picture-postcard view of the surrounding rolling countryside. The south façade of the château opens fully onto this landscape. Thirty-five metres long, it comprises an elegant glass roof housing a spacious conservatory, a small pavilion, a central section punctuated by five bays of windows, and a large pavilion. This varied composition lends the whole a harmony imbued with simplicity and charm, enhanced by the window frames and corner string courses highlighted with brickwork. The various sections, spread over one, two or three storeys, are topped by a slate roof, punctuated in the centre by three dormer windows. On the north side, the château adopts an L-shaped layout, featuring a vast west-facing façade with four bays of windows, overlooking the woods. Access to the property is possible either via the south terrace or via the small pavilion on the north side. The double doors of the small pavilion open onto a hall with a remarkable ceiling height of around 5 metres. To the left of the hall is the conservatory, to the right the sitting room, and opposite, a study. The conservatory is a vast, open-plan room spanning the full width of the château. It enjoys exceptional natural light thanks to a metal glass roof with small panes, resting on a wooden base and rising to the full height of the north, east and south façades. Completely renovated, this glass roof highlights an elegant cement tile floor laid in a black-and-white chequerboard pattern. To the right of the hall, the sitting room, featuring a cabochon stone floor, opens onto the south-facing terrace through three tall windows. It offers a warm atmosphere centred around a moulded white marble fireplace. The tour continues with a bright dining room, ideal for hosting large gatherings, featuring a cement tile floor decorated in the 19th-century style, mouldings and a fireplace. Finally, the library captivates with its grey-blue panelling covering the walls from floor to ceiling. It benefits from three south-facing windows and a double window to the west, offering superb views of the woods and the surrounding countryside. A contemporary, recently fitted and fully equipped kitchen harmoniously completes this property. There are two staircases leading to the upper floors: the main staircase from the living room, and a second staircase located in an adjoining hallway. The main staircase leads to a landing on the first floor, which opens onto three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms or bathrooms. The secondary staircase leads to a corridor on the first floor, which opens onto three bedrooms, with a bathroom and a shared shower room. The second floor is accessed via the main staircase. A landing leads to four bedrooms and a bathroom. The château therefore has ten bedrooms. The outbuildings comprise: A/ A guest house, fully renovated, with a lovely south-facing garden. It comprises a living room, a dining room with an open-plan kitchen, a study and a toilet. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. B/ A building of approximately 200 sqm comprising four separate areas, including a garage with space for two cars. The old roof is in a serviceable condition. The property also features a small barn, a kennel and stables. The estate covers approximately 5.6 hectares (13.83 acres), divided harmoniously between meadows and wooded areas. To the south, a vast meadow stretches out in front of the property, dotted with ancient trees, whilst charming paths wind through the woods, inviting you to take a stroll. Below the château, a meadow is home to two ponds fed by a stream, lending the whole setting a peaceful and bucolic atmosphere. The pool area has been laid out out of sight, behind a stone wall, thus preserving its complete privacy within a natural setting. The 22 x 8-metre pool is unheated and features a salt treatment system installed in 2024. The property also includes a former tennis court.
