Castle Issoire (63)

Dwelling: Near a village nestled at the foot of a hill, neighboring an unusual Forêt de la Comté classified as an environmental site, all set within the first foothills of the Livradois-Forez Regional Park, this 17th-century estate reveals itself. Loaded with history and presenting approximately 600 m² of living space over 3 levels, the castle and its outbuildings unfold around a U-shaped courtyard housing an old crayfish park, a stone fountain from Volvic, and varied vegetation. As you pass through the gate, a two-level caretaker's house, barns, and a garage are a number of outbuildings for rehabilitation, along with the interior of the building which has undergone a roof restoration. A stable and the ruins of an old house stand in close proximity. Numerous works on medium and major construction are planned to restore the shine to this place. The castle, built on a small cellar, offers substantial living volumes. The entrance, ornamented with a stone pediment, leads left to a kitchen and a large pantry, and to the right, a majestic living room of 113 m² with its library corner and numerous openings onto the park, a bedroom, and a toilet. A majestic staircase provides access to a private chapel on the mezzanine, and then upstairs to four bedrooms, an office, a shower room, and two bathrooms. On the top level, an apartment with a living room, shower room, and a bedroom adorned with painted woodwork opening onto a terrace completes another area that includes three bedrooms. Finally, under the roof of the tower, there is a final room serving as an additional bedroom. Land: Open to the valley, south-facing, with no overlooking neighbors, the estate overlooks its 5 hectares of land primarily composed of meadows and some woods. Notable is the presence of a spring and a large vegetable garden sheltered behind the barn walls. The gravel terrace, directly accessible from the living room, allows for full enjoyment of the view and the serene surroundings. Additional elements: This property, just a few minutes from ISSOIRE, allows for various potential uses, whether it be for events, tourist reception, coupled with animal hospitality, plant cultivation, or the establishment of beehives. Schools and local shops are just a few minutes' walk away. The preserved environment that has sheltered this place for almost four decades, along with the undeniable charm of these walls, will attract lovers of ancient stones, but a budget to match the necessary rehabilitation work will need to be anticipated.

Castle Veauce (03)

The largest private château in Allier, located on a rocky spur, the Château de Veauce dominates the valleys of Veauce and Guêle, a strategic site used since antiquity. Mentioned for the first time in the 11th century, it saw its first significant fortifications in the 13th century with a regular plan, circular towers, and typical defensive devices.From the 14th century onwards, it became a royal fief before passing to the Dukes of Bourbon. During the Hundred Years' War, it was an active stronghold. In the 15th and 16th centuries, it evolved into a powerful barony with numerous lands and feudal rights. It welcomed illustrious figures, including Joan of Arc according to tradition.Transformed over the centuries, the château retains traces of its medieval past but underwent significant restorations during the Renaissance and later in the 19th century under Charles Eugène de Cadier, who modernized the site, created an English landscape park, and developed the village's infrastructure. It became a local political and philanthropic figure.The estate remained in the family until 1969.Even today, Veauce embodies the richness of the feudal, military, religious, and rural history of Auvergne, while keeping alive the legend of Lucie, the ghost of the château.On over 10 hectares, the château is organized around a large courtyard of 1260 m² and includes a set of buildings: • To the north, a medieval wing flanked by two towers (including the dungeon with its entrance porch) and partially ruined, which included a stable, stables, and housing. With a ground area of 240m², it has two levels and an attic. Behind the building, a courtyard of 320m² enclosed by the ramparts served as an arena.• To the west, the so-called "stables" wing, with its roof and floors now collapsed, has a ground area of about 570m² and included two floors and an attic. It housed the laundry, stables, a shed, and the press.• To the east, the 18th-century wing is the best-preserved building of the ensemble. It has three levels plus an attic, covering a ground area of 315m² per level. On the ground floor, there is a set of salons and reception rooms as well as a small kitchen. The first floor includes several bedrooms with bathrooms. The second floor was composed of service accommodations. To the east, a large terrace of 425m² serves as the main entrance with a superb multi-level staircase. The terrace offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.• To the south, the 19th-century wing of four levels plus an attic covers 530m² on the ground. This wing also has several levels of cellars, including wine cellars with hundreds of bottle alcoves. There is also a cave carved into the rock serving as a tank supplied by a spring with abundant and crystal-clear water.The land covers over 10 hectares. It is traversed by a small river. There are two entrances to the property. The first in the village consists of a lodge and a grand gate. The second, at the eastern end of the park, also includes an old dwelling and leads to the château through a long wooded driveway over 700m long. Here, there are ancient abandoned buildings, including a mill. The park features magnificent ancient trees of various species and decorative elements such as lava stone basins.The château is listed as a partially classified Historical Monument (Monument Historique).Overall in very poor condition, the château requires urgent repairs on roofing and stabilization, with costs estimated at 2-3 million euros.

Castle Bayeux (14)

Located between Bayeux and Caen, 15 kilometers from the sea, this 19th century castle is nestled in the heart of a charming village in the Bessin region. It offers a living space of 466 m2 and all the current comfort. The park of 7000 m2 shelters several outbuildings. Built around 1870, the castle stands out with its neogothic architecture. High stone walls and a large portal barely hide its richly worked façade. Many elements seem to testify to an esoteric construction - a symbolic account of the search for the philosopher's stone. The monumental stone staircase, the stained glass windows, the woodwork, the parquet floors and the period fireplaces give charm and authenticity to this singular residence. The castle benefits from all the modern comfort. The roof, the windows and the heating system are recent. The high ceiling of about 3 meters makes it an easy to heat house. The numerous windows bring clarity and light. Several rooms have a triple aspect. The layout is rational and balanced. On the first floor, the entrance hall with its stone staircase distributes, on the one hand, a reception room and a living room, and on the other hand, a dining room, a kitchen and an office-library. The second floor includes six bedrooms, a bathroom with bath and shower, and a separate toilet. On the second floor, which is partially attic, there are seven rooms of various sizes as well as a shower room and a bathroom. The basement (or garden level) was used by a previous owner as a restaurant. It consists of an entrance on the same level as the garden, connected to the first floor by a stone staircase, four rooms, a kitchen opening onto the garden and a checkroom with toilet. The park is planted with majestic trees: sophora, pine, white chestnut, purple beech... A circular driveway leads around the house and to the outbuildings: an orangery with an adjoining chapel, a vast garage and a pavilion. Thanks to its location and size, this chateau is suitable for multiple uses, such as a large family home, a luxurious guest house, a reception area, or for the exercise of a professional activity. It is ideally located to enjoy the charm of Bayeux, the activities of Caen or the pleasures of the sea.

Castle Tours (37)

In the Indrois valley, in southern Touraine, a carefully restored strong house from the 15th century, its park and pool. Away from the hamlet, hidden behind trees, the residence and its outbuildings present a homogeneous ensemble. Around it, the park forms an area partly wooded. All around, it is the countryside. Organized around a courtyard, the castle was completely restored in the 1980s. The facade of the main dwelling is dominated in its center by a square tower occupied by a spiral staircase. All the exterior walls are in exposed stone. Large windows, both single and double, are complemented by stone mullions. Their surrounds and supports are made of stone and granite. All the frames have been replaced with oak, featuring leaded glass panes, sometimes colored green or yellow. Inside, the floors of all rooms are paved with old terracotta tiles. All the walls are plastered, and the ceilings are in the French style, with exposed beams. Six monumental stone fireplaces with powerful jambs bear witness to the antiquity of the place. The building is flanked on one side by a small house and on the other, at a right angle, by a lower wing of outbuildings. A barn, also at a right angle, closes off the back of the courtyard. Pigsties and the enclosing wall complete the fencing. Thus sheltered and organized around a well, the ensemble is accessible from a large gate. The back facade of the dwelling is flanked at both ends by square towers. Powerful buttresses frame the central door. All the buildings share the exposed stone of their facades and the flat tiles of their roofs.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle Limoges (87)

Rf.4722 : French 18th C. chateau for sale in Haute-Vienne department. The Briance Valley is a protected site in the Haute-Vienne department of Limousin. The river winds its way through a rural landscape where deciduous woods on the slopes alternate with bocage meadows and low-lying pastures, poplar groves on the banks, and cultivated fields on the flatlands and hillsides. This is the home of the famous Limousine cattle breed: the Pôle de Lanaud, with its renowned restaurant, is just a few minutes from the property. This corner of the countryside is less than 20 km from Limoges, a city of art and history. Known for its long tradition of porcelain manufacturing, the capital of Limousin is a dynamic city with a large student population, a renowned university hospital, and one of the world's leading companies in the field of electrical equipment (Legrand). Limoges-Bénédictins train station, listed as a Historic Monument for its architecture combining Art Nouveau and Art Deco, allows you to reach Paris or Toulouse in three and a half hours. Limoges Bellegarde airport, half an hour from the château, has regular flights to Lyon, London, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, and the Midlands. This proximity between town and country explains the abundance of castles and manor houses found in the Briance Valley. The oldest were built by the powerful Viscounts of Limoges or by the abbots of Solignac, an important abbey on the Via Lemovicensis route to Compostela. The more recent ones, such as the property on offer, were designed as pleasant residences for the upper middle class of Limoges, who loved, and still appreciate, this charming and peaceful setting just a stone's throw from the city. Set apart from a hamlet, the chateau is a building of classical proportions flanked by two round towers with conical roofs. In the center, a detached pavilion houses the entrance and stairwell. It is topped by a portico broken by a monumental pediment dormer with a domed roof. On the opposite side, the south facade features a perfect alignment of windows on a straight facade framed by slightly protruding wings. Chain molding and bossages reinforce the impression of symmetry, which extends up to the domed dormers lighting the attic. Covered in slate, the hipped roof of the main building, like that of the entrance pavilion, is topped with a metal ridge. To the north again, a three-step staircase leads to the front door, a side door with a wooden tympanum and a protruding doorframe. From there, the ground floor comprises an entrance hall, an office with a toilet and shower, a storage room/cellar, a kitchen, a dining room, a double living room, and a library. On the same level, the towers house a bar with neo-Gothic decor in one and a boiler room in the other. With high ceilings, these two rooms occupy two levels. On the first floor : 4 large bedrooms with their own bathrooms. On the second floor : a long hallway and five beautiful bedrooms with bathrooms, one of which has a shower room and sometimes a dressing room. Two of these bedrooms are located in the towers. Under the eaves: a large open space ready to be converted. The property has a total living area of approximately 700 sqm. The outbuildings include: The Orangery, probably built in the 19th century, is the main outbuilding. On the first floor, a fully equipped reception room can seat up to 60 people. A second floor, under the eaves, is in need of restoration. Separately, the modern garage with cellar can accommodate two to three cars and the equipment needed to maintain the property. Finally, the swimming pool (12.5 x 4.5 m) is at the center of a true wellness area with its terrace and pool house equipped with a sauna. The park, covering an area of approximately 5.55 acres (2.25 hectares), forms a sort of uneven diamond shape, with its corners roughly pointing to the cardinal points. At its center, with their facades facing south, the castle and its outbuildings stand on a vast, well-kept, flower-filled lawn. All around, tall trees shelter the castle and its guests from view and noise. The land slopes very gently, but without reaching it, towards the Roselle, a tributary of the Briance. A tennis court, shaded by trees, marks the southern tip, while the wooded western side borders an invisible railway line.

Castle Agen (47)

Réf. 4733: Listed chateau for sale, near Agen, in Lot-et-Garonne. In the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne department, between Bordeaux and Toulouse and just 30 minutes from Agen. Overlooking the vineyards and close to both the canal and the River Baïse, the estate enjoys a peaceful and unspoilt setting, within easy reach of Casteljaloux (a renowned spa town), Nérac (a former royal seat) and Agen, the prefecture. The château and its park form an ancient castral village, the origins of which date back to the 10th century. The site is of considerable heritage interest, containing the ruins of the former administrative centre as well as several 18th century follies, created when the grounds were laid out as an Anglo-Chinese garden. The south façade of the château is organised around a 16th century octagonal tower, which houses the principal staircase providing access to the various floors. More prominent on the north side, the two towers flank a perron where balconies adorned with wrought-ironwork are still visible. Approximately 800 sqm are arranged over four levels in a largely similar layout, each accessed from the central spiral staircase, allowing for a half-level configuration. The lower level contains vaulted cellars with earth floors, matching the footprint of the floor above, as well as a former warm-air heating system. The easily accessible attic allows for inspection of the roof structure and timber framework, as well as the work carried out on them. The ensemble’s distinctly medieval silhouette, still remarkably legible, makes it an important architectural landmark and a valuable witness to the region’s Gascon past. Outbuildings : The outbuildings, of approximately 250 sqm and located close to the château, have also benefited from preservation measures. Arranged at an angle, their current entrances allow for use as barns and garages. Nearby, the bell tower of the former parish church now forms a chapel housing painted ceilings and Renaissance-period sculptures. The grounds extend over approximately 11 hectares. Near the buildings lies an open area that once accommodated a kitchen garden and a swimming pool. Beyond this space, bordered by an old stone wall, the wooded park — planted with cedars and century-old oaks — contains various remnants of former follies, as well as an ornamental bridge, an icehouse and an old pavilion, all accessible via small paths traced through the vegetation. The following parts are listed on the Inventory of Historic Monuments : The painted ceilings of the first-floor bedrooms: listed by decree in 1991. All non-listed parts of the château, together with the entire estate — both built and non-built areas — including the outbuildings, the former church and the remains of the former upper village, the kitchen garden and its structures, the fishpond and its dependencies, the bridge, and the whole of the large park with the hunting pavilion, the icehouse and the remains of the château’s former follies: registered by decree in 2015. This property is a historic monument (allowing fiscal tax cuts if you pay taxes in France).

Castle Aiguillon (47)

A partly restored 18th-century dwelling and 16th-century lodge surrounding their courtyard, set in grounds of around 4 ha with swimming pool, spring and stream in Lot-et-Garonne. The property forms a group of buildings including a rectangular manor house centred on its inner courtyard, surrounded by grounds of approx. 4 ha comprising mixed woodland, meadows and a small valley, and featuring a renowned spring. Beyond the boundaries of the estate, the surroundings might seem rather unattractive to some - given the presence of greenhouses and farm buildings. However, these structures are forgotten as soon as you follow a long driveway lined with majestic umbrella pines and enter the heart of the property. Built over the course of several centuries, the dwelling is made up of a number of different sections and interconnected inside and out. The dressed stone building is predominantly one storey high, with one section comprising two upper floors above a garden level. It includes an 18th century main building, a 16th century lodge and a former winery, following on from one another harmoniously. They are arranged around an enclosed courtyard with a central well, which is accessed from the outside via a porch. While the residence has undergone many alterations since at least the 16th century, it has recently been partially restored to continue its long history. All the buildings have been re-roofed: the 18th-century dwelling with slate and monk-and-nun tiles, the 16th-century pavilion with flat tiles and the winery with monk-and-nun tiles. In addition, a new micro wastewater treatment plant, a drainage system around the buildings, a new mains drinking water supply and electrical wiring up to the entrance to the property have been installed. Finally, the surrounding area has also been cleaned up.

Castle Limoges (87)

Nestled like a hidden treasure in the rolling countryside just fifteen minutes from Limoges, this gorgeous 18th-century château, originally constructed in 1740 during the illustrious reign of Louis XV, radiates timeless elegance. Thought to have been initially designed as a hunting lodge, the estate was magnificently expanded a century later, graced with the addition of two impressive towers at its grand façade. Legend surrounds this enchanting property; stories suggest it was presented to its unnamed owner by Napoleon III, the last emperor of France, prior to his imprisonment for a failed coup. This alluring tale finds substance in the form of a remarkable, elaborately carved six-metre oak panelled chimney breast in one of the towers—an exquisite masterpiece, crafted in the opulent style of the era. Impeccably restored, curated, and furnished to the highest standard, the château offers unparalleled versatility. Its extensive, secluded grounds feature a magnificent orangery and ten sumptuous bedrooms. For recreation and relaxation, you'll discover a professional-grade tennis court, an inviting outdoor swimming pool, a luxurious jacuzzi and sauna chalet, a spacious garage and workshop, and even a tranquil zen garden—perfect for moments of peace and reflection. Upon crossing the threshold, guests are immediately enveloped in a sense of grandeur, indulgence, and privacy, with expansive entertaining spaces, welcoming bolt-holes, and private bathrooms for each refined bedroom. Whilst currently used as a private residence, the estate is perfectly suited to serve as a glamorous holiday retreat for celebratory gatherings, or a hospitality business enterprise. The château is located on the edge of a small village in the heart of the countryside, yet just about five minutes from a bakery and twenty minutes from a hospital, a major city, with national train connections and a European airport. This is an opportunity to acquire a magnificent castle, exceptionally decorated and finished, versatile, already renowned, and to personalise it to your taste. Whether envisioned as a boutique spa escape, an intimate hotel, or an exclusive venue for events and weddings, the château’s adaptability invites limitless possibilities for those seeking a life of sophistication and refined leisure.
