Listed castle Magny-Cours (58)

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.

Castle Sillé-le-Guillaume (72)

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.

Castle Vatan (36)

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).

Castle Bourges (18)

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.

Castle Saint-Mesmin (85)

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.

Castle Frossay (44)

Réf. 4821: 19th-century château near Saint-Nazaire and Saint-Brevin. The property is situated in Loire-Atlantique, away from the hustle and bustle, between the Loire and the Atlantic. It is very close to a village of over 3,000 inhabitants which offers all essential amenities. Marshes, hedgerows and vast horizons form a vibrant landscape, comprising remarkable protected natural areas. This landscape is punctuated by the Loire and the Martinière maritime canal, which is within walking distance of the property. Whilst enjoying a preserved environment, the property is nevertheless close to the highly dynamic economic hubs of Nantes and Saint-Nazaire, as well as the pretty Loire port of Paimboeuf. Here, you can enjoy walks or bike rides, explore along the waterways, and get involved in local community life… All of which invite you to slow down, recharge your batteries and enjoy a pleasant living environment not far from the ocean. The property is situated in a rural setting. A gate opens onto a small path leading to the château, set within wooded grounds. This residence is distinguished by its late 19th-century architecture, typical of those elegant, characterful houses inspired by the eclectic style, where classical rigour blends with decorative whimsy. The coat of arms of the former owners is visible on the triangular pediment of the façade. The perfectly proportioned façade is organised around a distinct central axis, emphasised by a slightly projecting bay. This is crowned by a richly ornamented pointed gable, a true architectural signature, incorporating brickwork patterns, geometric motifs and small arched openings, which enliven the composition. The whole structure rests on light-coloured rendered masonry, punctuated by a frame of exposed red bricks. This contrast, both understated and graphic, subtly highlights the openings, the corner ties and the horizontal bands, giving the façade a structured appearance, reinforced by the tall windows, arranged over two levels, which lend verticality and elegance. The interior covers an area of 374 sqm. The original features have been preserved, including parquet flooring, wood panelling, mouldings and ceiling rosettes. The rooms are bright. There is plenty of storage space. The cellar, which covers approximately 50% of the house’s floor area, will appeal to wine enthusiasts. On the ground floor: An entrance hall leads to a kitchen, utility room, dining room, living room, toilet and laundry room. On the mezzanine level: storage room. On the first floor, the landing leads to 4 bedrooms, a bathroom, a dressing room, a shower room, hallways and a toilet. On the second floor: the landing leads to 3 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms, a large playroom, a toilet and storage space. Top floor: a large, light-filled attic office with exposed beams. Outbuildings : A large building of around 120 sqm, with a fibre-cement roof. A small garage with a tiled roof. The estate’s grounds cover just over a hectare, offering an unspoilt natural setting. A lawn stretches out around the château, ideal for relaxation and outdoor receptions. A pond punctuates the landscape, adding a touch of freshness, in which the silhouettes of ancient trees—mighty oaks and stately cedars—are reflected. The eye wanders towards the surrounding meadows, offering a sense of space.

Castle Chateauroux (36)

A spectacular medieval chateau, restored with hotel-standard renovations, nestled in France’s beautiful Berry province. The chateau’s emblematic shape, with its tall towers and vast roofs, seems to rise up out of the landscape. The edifice was built in the 15th century. It originally had 14 towers and a keep, which made it one of the main strongholds in the region. During the French Wars of Religion, it became the property of Protestant families. Upon the orders of Cardinal Richelieu, the chateau was partly dismantled to weaken this Huguenot stronghold. Today, seven towers remain. The chateau was extensively restored in 1850 based on proposals from the famous French architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. Over the past thirty years, it has been renovated fully and masterfully. Several of its towers and even the keep have kept their original roof frames, which is truly remarkable given the changes made to the edifice over the centuries. All the elevations are made of rubble stone with pointing. The keep’s facade and the crenellations along the top of the gatehouse’s towers are made of ashlar. The keep, the main section and four of the seven towers are crowned with tall, steep slate roofs. The other towers have flat roofs, hidden behind crenellations. A series of outbuildings are grouped together and set back from the main edifice. They are arranged around several courtyards. The grounds slope down to a river. A swimming pool has been built on a grassy terrace. And a tennis court lies discreetly behind an outbuilding. From the property’s commanding position, you can admire far-reaching views of the surrounding landscape.

Castle Argenton-sur-Creuse (36)

Ref 4825: 15th-century castle and its hamlet for sale in the Berry region Located in Berry, in the Indre department, this remarkable castle captivates visitors with its distinctively medieval character. Situated in the heart of France, it is approximately 300 km from Paris via the A20 motorway, known as the Occitane, and 30 km from Châteauroux, the local town centre. For everyday amenities, the charming village of Argenton-sur-Creuse is less than ten minutes away. The site can also be reached by helicopter. A veritable fortress, the building overlooks the banks of a small river, the Bouzanne. The gently rolling surrounding landscape marks the south-eastern boundary of the Brenne, also known as the ‘Land of a Thousand Ponds’. Renowned for its unspoilt nature and designated a Regional Nature Park, this region offers numerous opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Birdwatchers come from all over the world to observe waterfowl and migratory birds, whilst hikers, cyclists and horse riders enjoy the well-maintained paths winding between the ponds. Hunting enthusiasts also find favourable terrain here, whilst respecting responsible hunting practices. On the edge of a hamlet, its privacy protected by a wall stretching nearly two kilometres, the fortress stands at the heart of its grounds. It enjoys a remarkable panorama over the Bouzanne Valley, forming a veritable natural amphitheatre where the views stretch for nearly ten kilometres. This spectacular setting had, in fact, caught the attention of Michael Jackson, who had considered establishing his French estate there in the late 1990s. The castle is one of the few largely preserved examples of 15th-century military architecture. Built of dressed stone and rubble masonry, and still partially surrounded by moats, it comprises an entrance gatehouse flanked by crenellated towers, which leads into a first, square courtyard. Two wings of the building flank this courtyard. At the far end of this courtyard, a fixed bridge leads, beneath an imposing keep, to a second courtyard. The dismantling of the curtain walls and certain towers has transformed this inner courtyard into a terraced esplanade offering views, to the north, of the wooded banks of the Bouzanne, a small river flowing at the foot of the castle. To the south of the courtyard, the main residence adjoining the keep, rising four storeys high beneath a slate roof, is defended on three of its corners by imposing towers with conical roofs and machicolations. Entering this residence at terrace level via the stair tower that leads to it, one encounters, in turn, a reception room for guests with its monumental fireplace, a study in the south tower, a former bakery converted into a billiard room, a room known as the ‘courtroom’ with a monumental fireplace, and a chapel. Via the south-east tower, there is access to the bathrooms and sauna located on the ground floor of the south wing of the courtyard. In the north-corner tower, there is a separate bedroom with a beautiful fireplace and en-suite bathroom. On the upper floors, accessible by lift: On the first floor of the main building, a semi-professional kitchen, a dining room with beautiful 17th-century wood panelling, a small green sitting room in the west tower, a large sitting room with a ceiling painted in the 18th-century style, and the executive office in the east tower. On the second floor there are seven bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and seating areas. A spacious room with high ceilings and a gallery completes the layout and is designated as the armoury. On the third floor there are eight bedrooms, each with a bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and armchairs. On the fourth floor there are six bedrooms, each with a bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and built-in seats. A library, covered by a four-part ribbed vault with voussoirs, completes the ensemble. There are numerous outbuildings. Four of these form part of the castle complex: The south wing of the square tower, spread over two floors. It houses the boiler room and a staff flat. The north wing of the square tower is dedicated to technical activities, with storage rooms, cold rooms and a large workshop. On the upper floor, three large brick-vaulted rooms could be converted into a superb reception area. A large terrace covers them. Beneath the terrace lies a vast vaulted room known as the Knights’ Hall. The other outbuildings are clustered in the southern part of the grounds, forming a sort of hamlet: The main one is the Bergerie, a large 19th-century farm building converted into a conference centre. With a total of nearly 300 sqm of living space, it houses two meeting rooms and sixteen rooms, including staff accommodation and two holiday cottages. Six residential houses, likely built in the 19th century, currently unused but weatherproofed. A garage with a covered courtyard and a charging station for electric vehicles. There is also, at the entrance to the estate, a pumping station housed in a hipped-roof building. Built on a plateau overlooking the Bouzanne valley, the castle covers just over 15 hectares (37 acres), which can be divided into: - A vast park, planted with remarkable local tree species (cedars, poplars, birches, oaks), surrounds the castle. It includes an enclosed terraced garden which is soon to be restored to its former status as a vegetable garden. Beautiful paths allow visitors to admire this remarkable example of medieval architecture from every angle. - A 12 x 6 m swimming pool, with a terrace of cut stone and changing rooms in a tower. It is situated at the foot of the north-west corner of the esplanade - To the north, a hillside woodland that slopes down to the path running alongside the river. - Finally, meadows covering an area of 3 hectares complete the estate. All furniture and operating equipment is included in the sale price.
