Castle Lectoure (32)

Constructed in the 15th century and redesigned in the 17th this sumptuous château was designed in the style of the Italian Renaissance. In the North of the Gers it is located a short drive away from the popular market towns of Lectoure, Fleurance and St Clar. Situated in a quiet location, down a tranquil country lane, and far from the main road, the property offers over 7 hectares of glorious parkland and an abundance of trees. The property is entirely private being both hedged and gated, with a small stream bordering the land at the bottom. The main body of the château comprises eight bedrooms, and a vast main reception/dining-room, and first floor library/reception-room. With a separate guest house. The flamboyant Italian-style first floor “loggia” – with its covered terrace and arcades overlooking the tranquil gardens is an absolute delight. With a paved pool area, 2 dovecotes, and a vast 170m2 hangar the garden is full of interest with a vast array of mature trees, roses and bushes and an orchard. This property provides a peaceful sanctuary from the world, in a location that is unique, being utterly private, and yet in the located heart of one of the most sought-after areas of SW France. Let’s look in more detail … The local area, the parkland, gardens, and outbuildings The drive by car to the property is as pleasant one. With easy access to the local market towns of Lectoure and Fleurance the property is tranquil yet easily accessible. The TGV line to Paris in Agen is under an hour away, and Toulouse international airport, just over an hour. As we leave the market towns behind, the countryside is rich and peaceful, with small country lanes cutting through emerald, green fields, where in the summer crops of sunflowers or wheat grow in an area fondly known as French Tuscany. If Gascony is the Tuscany of France, then this property offers all the joys of Renaissance Italy. Designed in pure Italian style, the property was built by a rich noble family in the 15th century. From the outside very little can be seen, as a thick natural hedge encircles the perimeter of the land. The entrance to the property is enclosed by two fine wrought-iron gates, both of which are in perfect keeping with the château and marking the entrance in style. The château is located at the end of a quiet lane that opens out onto fields, so one is not troubled by any passing traffic. The occasional hare or deer, perhaps. We enter from the side gate to the main entrance, with a view of a splendid pigeonnier or dovecote to our right. The pool nestles beside the first of the two dovecotes and is sheltered by rose-covered walls. There is a water-well with a decorative wrought iron frame on the top. Always ideal to have a source of water on the land, to keep the lovely gardens fresh and green; not forgetting the small river that runs along the bottom field. There are over seven hectares of land in total, ensuring utmost tranquility for anyone residing here. Of those seven hectares the land around the gardens, and the guest house, comprises an orchard (to the front of the guest house) neatly mown lawns, and mature trees. There is an ornamental row of topiary, and a small river at the bottom of the land. The gardens feel rich and bucolic. In an area known for its scorching hot summers, there is a freshness to the parkland, shaded by ancient boughs of the trees. The ambience here is one of lush greenery. As we turn around the chateau to the rear gardens, we catch our first glimpse of the fantastic loggia, a covered terrace with arches running the full length of the property which is purely Italian Renaissance in style; joyous and romantic with its impressive corner pavillions. The main master bedroom opens onto the loggia, offering a morning view over the gardens; a sure promise that one’s day will begin on a note of beauty and tranquility. The Chateau has a joie de vivre which one might not expect from a Medieval building. It is warm and welcoming from the outside with its mellow golden walls catching the last of the autumn sunshine. Let’s open the grand entrance door, and step inside… The main entrance to the chateau is paved in stone with a wooden staircase to the first floor. As one would expect the entrance is formal and is divided into two distinct sections with the original wooden front door at the entrance, and at the end of the hallway a second door, with the intelligent addition of a glass door that allows the light to flood into the hallway, in a way which is not traditionally medieval but certainly delightful for modern living, where one’s instinct is to let the sunshine in, and to keep the warmth inside. From the central hallway, we take a brief look at a large room which has not been restored for any other purpose than storage, but with a large opening at the far end, in a room which is interesting in so far as it is of similar size to the main reception room, and certainly offers possibilities for further development of the property’s habitable area, planning permissions permitting. The main reception/dining-room is a fantastic space for entertainment. With its quirky vaults the room is divided into two distinct sections. The first part of the room (from the central hallway) has a lovely stone fireplace where the family gather. The perfect place for a winter or Christmas gathering. The second part of the room is used as a dining-area. There are large windows to the gardens in both the reception and dining areas. At the far end of the room, a doorway leads into a tower area, with a pleasantly Medieval feel to it, where there is a downstairs cloakroom and lavatory. The kitchen sits a little way apart from the dining-room, for ease, and has recently been completely refurbished. This is a warm and inviting room, with ample space for a breakfast table, and tasteful modern units. From the kitchen a doorway opens onto the loggia. This utterly charming terrace offers views onto the gardens from between the arches and is a delightful place to sit in the shade on a scorching hot summer’s day. Upstairs There are two wings to the first floor, set from a central staircase. Two of the bathrooms are built into the quirky corner pavilion towers. The master bedroom and the study both open onto the charming loggia. From the master bedroom you can steal a view of the morning from between the arcades of the first-floor loggia, take coffee outside on a warm private terrace area, or fall back to sleep watching the light muslin curtains flutter between the arches. This is a room in which the imagination can take flight! Also on the first floor, there is a deliciously private library, which is provides a tranquil retreat from the downstairs reception-rooms. With its rows of bookshelves, and cinema area, this is a lovely private room, where the owners can escape when the house is full of guests. One of the upstairs bedrooms is currently used as a private study but could also be used as an extra bedroom. With a total of eight bedrooms and four bathrooms on the two upstairs wings of the house, we note that each room is blessed with high volumes, tall windows, far-reaching views and many period features which have been preserved. The current owners have carried out an extensive scheme of works since they first moved in, and a vast majority of all the rooms have been recently redecorated or refurbished. The kitchen is brand new. The oil fuel boiler has just been replaced and we have noted the clever installation of the thick glass doors on the lower level that ensure the spacious ground-floor living area is snug throughout the winter months. This property is now welcoming throughout all four seasons and is in an excellent state of repair. The gardens are also immaculate and must work has been carried out to regain parts of the plot that had become overgrown. The Guest House With two bedrooms, a central reception room/kitchen and bathroom, the guest house is set well apart from the house, by the orchard, and is a decided advantage to this property either for lettings or for family and friends.

Listed castle Chateauroux (36)

Ref.3866 : Listed french castle for sale in the centre of France. We're in the south of the Indre département, in the Centre-Val-de-Loire region. Just 300 kilometers from Paris, this mighty château is located in the southern part of the ancient province of Berry, an inexhaustible source of inspiration for George Sand, the world's best-known French writer. On the edge of one of these small Berrichon villages, the château sits at the center of a wooded park, protected from view by curtain walls and imposing 15th-century towers. On arrival, its austere appearance is a reminder of its military origins. This impression fades, however, once you reach the main staircase on the opposite façade. The fortress, which has become a pleasure residence over the centuries, is more welcoming without losing any of its grandeur. Surrounding this exceptional property, the countryside is beautiful, authentic and peaceful. This is the Boischaut Sud region, with its hedgerows, deep forests, sunken lanes, black ponds and countless legends. The small town of La Châtre is less than a ten-minute drive away. A fair town in the Middle Ages, then a frontier town between “grande gabelle” and “petite gabelle” countries, its prosperity is reflected in the beautiful townhouses in the center of town. Today, La Châtre is a dynamic town which, by combining tourism, industry, services and local commerce, offers residents of the surrounding area all the essential amenities. The region is industrious in winter and festive in summer. Nohant, 2km away, was once the home of Georges Sand. It attracts over 30,000 visitors a year, in addition to the 10,000 music lovers who attend the renowned Chopin Festival every year. Barely 8 km away, Le Son Continue, a festival inherited from the meetings of luthiers and master ringers that long took place at our château, also attracts some 10,000 people every year. And there's more to discover... This impressive château has retained its fortress-like appearance. In the 15th century, it took the form of a keep with an inner courtyard, defended by imposing round towers at all four corners. Restoration in the 19th century resulted in the loss of the north-east tower and the two adjoining sides. Now open to the light, with its high walls and forest of roofs reaching for the sky, it is as imposing as ever. Surrounded by curtain walls and towers that tell the story of nine centuries of history, it's a true castle. The grand staircase on the east side of the house leads via a large terrace (400 sqm) to the raised first floor. This comprises a vestibule with monumental listed fireplace, billiard room, dining room with monumental fireplace, second vestibule leading to the second entrance, vast kitchen with staircase to the wine cellar and large boiler room, two wc's, laundry room, On this level alone, there is 200 sqm of living space. A double staircase leads up to the second floor, which includes a suite of three adjoining reception rooms totalling 130sqm under 5m of joist height; also a chapel and, after half a floor, an apartment comprising an anteroom, a study-library, a large bedroom with fireplace, bathroom, wc and dressing room. On the second floor, three other prestigious apartments with en-suite bathrooms, the first comprising an anteroom, a bedroom with monumental fireplace, a study and an embroidery room, the second a bedroom with monumental fireplace and en-suite bathroom, and the third a bedroom, dressing room and study with monumental fireplace. Various other rooms and passageways through walls up to 2 meters thick. Finally, in the attic, a 300sqm leisure room with two fireplaces, a games room with hearth, a map room, a bedroom with bathroom and access to the watchtower, a staff apartment with 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom. The total area is 1460 sqm. The layout, volumes and architectural features are exceptional, as are the quality of the door frames and other fittings. The careful restoration undertaken by the current owners is commendable. Hungary Point parquet floors, marble bathrooms, monumental armorial fireplaces, polychrome chapel, friezes, cleverly concealed doors and much more. It all leaves a very strong impression. Only half of the entrance châtelet remains, and the drawbridge has disappeared with it. However, the 15th-century dwelling, in the flamboyant Gothic style, is still there. It is a comfortable 6-room annex house, currently rented out as a gîte. Heating is provided by the château's own boiler. Extending from this long building are an office, tavern, stable and saddlery. At the far end, another converted tower forms the corner of the quadrangle. Upstairs, probably a former garrison dormitory with a series of monumental fireplaces. Fluids are distributed here, on standby. And here and there, you'll still find loopholes, a latrine, a stunner, a fire hydrant, for the traces of history are very present in these buildings, little transformed over the centuries. In the east tower, a 3-storey room, gunloft and spiral staircase. This complex covers a total area of 1,200 sqm, of which 300 sqm have been restored.  Opposite, a very interesting 15th-century gallery, punctuated by columns with leafy capitals, partially embedded in the masonry. What was undoubtedly a rare pleasure gallery is now an agricultural building waiting to be restored to its former glory. An enclosed park of 5.80 acres (2.35 hectares), planted with large ornamental trees, probably reconstructed and laid out with paths towards the end of the 19th century. The park and surrounding walls offer complete privacy. Vegetable garden with part orchard (cherry, apple, walnut, pear).

Castle Falaise (14)

Ref.4627 : Beautiful chateau with estate of 425 acres in Normandy. Overlooking the steep meanders of the River Orne, the morning mist dissipates under the first rays of the sun, revealing the contours of a place steeped in history, born more than five centuries ago in the heart of Normandy. Out of time and away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, the château blossoms in a setting of unspoilt nature, typical of Norman Switzerland, offering peace and serenity. Just a few kilometres away, the towns of Argentan and Falaise offer shops and services. Easy access by road and rail, just 2 hours from Paris. Invisible to the eye, the château is revealed at the end of a majestic avenue of hundred-year-old lime trees, retaining all the magic of its appearance. THE OUTBUILDINGS : 1) THE CHAPELS: The chapels are located around a hundred metres south of the château. The main chapel was built in 1900 by Georges de Séguin on a hillside overlooking the Orne valley. It is built entirely of granite, in a neo-Gothic style. It has a slate roof (a complete overhaul is required, for which an estimate has been drawn up). The archangel Saint-Michel watches over the destiny of this consecrated chapel, which has witnessed many family ceremonies. There is a vault in the basement. Adjacent to the main chapel is the current sacristy and the former chapel, which dates back to the 15th century and features a façade enhanced by a flamboyant mullioned bay window with period stained glass. Most of the windows are period, except for those in the choir, which were rebuilt after the war by master glassmakers from Chartres. 2) THE COMMONS: Facing each other on either side of the secondary entrance, 2 long stone buildings with flat tile roofs house the logistical facilities on one side and the Calvados-related activities on the other. These outbuildings date from the 17th century. a) WESTERN outbuildings: An elegant kennel, a stone shelter, a storage room, a workshop (former tack room), a tack room with saddle racks and bridle racks. Access to the first floor with, on the right, a former 4-room dwelling awaiting renovation; on the right, a huge attic. Carriage house. Stalls for 4 horses. 2 garages (3 cars). Field brick floors - 4.15 m high. b) SOUTH COMMONS: These are entirely reserved for the production and ageing of the estate's calvados, with the brandy cellars housed in two spacious rooms. A third room is used for ‘dry materials’. Calvados production is based on 35 hectares of apple trees. Only part of the orchard's production is kept to be pressed, then distilled, aged and blended. This production has been sized to enable the annual marketing of 5,000 very top-of-the-range boxes of calvados over fifteen years old. These calvados carry the protected Crèvecoeur brand and are sold in France and abroad. One employee carries out all the tasks associated with the winery. The employee has his own accommodation, dating from the time of Henri IV, located on the gable end of the outbuildings. Built over two and a half storeys, the ground floor comprises two large rooms and a kitchen. A bedroom with bathroom/wc is on the first floor. A second bedroom can be accessed from the gable end of the adjoining outbuilding. 3) DWELLING HOUSE: This house, built in the 19th century, is situated in the extension of the west outbuildings. It is built of stone with a slate 4-slope roof and comprises 3 stories as follows: Ground floor: veranda / large living room / kitchen / wc. 1st floor: 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. 2nd floor: a bedroom and a convertible attic. This house is currently being renovated and will be the future home of the estate's caretaker. 4) THE GUARD'S TOWER: Built in the 15th century, this tower resembles a dovecote and is located on the west side of the outbuildings, close to the caretaker's house. Built of jointed stone with a flat tile roof and topped with an elegant pepperpot dome, its overall appearance is imposing, an impression that is borne out by the 1.20 m thick walls. It has 2 levels with a diameter of 9 m. This watchtower houses a water softening station (limestone). 5) FARM BUILDINGS: These are located slightly below the cellars and are used mainly for cider-making and logistics on the estate: The first room houses the cider vats. A vast canopy houses the farm equipment. A barn (15 x 7m). A workshop. A bread oven. 6) GARDENER'S HOUSE: set back to the west of the castle, with no facing building. Stone house with slate roof, built over 2 stories as follows: Ground floor: kitchen/lounge/dining room/wc. First floor: 2 bedrooms/bathroom. Good general condition - recent door frames. There is a vegetable garden opposite. 7) THE ORANGERY: Before the war, this was the winter home of the château's orange trees, a few of which are still kept in vats in the west outbuildings. Since then, it has been used as a workshop by the gardener. 8) THE POULAILLER: adjoining the gardener's house, it provides shelter for 2 vehicles. 9) THE WOODEN SHELTER: located at the foot of the château, restored in the early 1960s, it can be used to store wood or garden furniture. 10) THE STABLE: A pointed stone structure with a wooden ridge (approx. 7 m x 7 m), used for storing fodder or as a stall, situated in the large gardens to the rear of the château (7 m x 7 m). It has a wonderful view down towards the Orne. It would be perfect as an artist's studio. 11) LES NAUDIERES: Farmhouse situated on the other bank of the River Orne with a dwelling house, 2 large barns (16x7 m), another barn (23.5x9.5 m) used as storage for farm equipment. A small house (6.5x5m) used for hunting meals. The ‘Naudières’ dwelling is currently under a residential lease. 12) LA SCIERIE: Main dwelling (10x5m), small adjoining house, large barn (22x7m), on the water's edge, adjoining the dwelling. Other buildings in the extension (20x5.80m). The exceptional beauty of this estate is implicitly linked to the quintessence of its setting. Set in a dominant position on an unspoilt site, the château enjoys total protection in the heart of its 170 hectares. The drive up to the château is majestic and almost endless. No less than 800m of tree-lined driveways lead to the first lawns, revealing the first towers of the building, in the heart of a park laid out in the English style, where each of the many species sets a charming scene. It was at the end of the twentieth century that the current owners realised the need to redesign the park, with the aim of opening up the vistas around the château so as to make the most of the many views from the site. The four cardinal points were thus embellished, offering lawns and meadows to the north and east, the chapel and the meandering Orne to the south, and the elegant outbuildings to the west... The estate stretches over a number of espaliered plateaux, all converging on the wild, sloping banks where the Orne flows for some 7 km right through the heart of the property. A fishing ground of rare quality. The nature of the soils is balanced and harmoniously thought out. The château boasts: around 4 hectares of adjoining parkland; organic, high-stem apple orchards covering 33 hectares; meadows, fallow land (66 hectares uncultivated) and woods (47 hectares) complete the setting with around 20 hectares of additional land, including 7 hectares under lease. The estate is not subject to any easements or nuisances, whether visual, olfactory or auditory. Thanks to the presence of a rich endogenous fauna, the estate has a roe deer hunting plan, which is carried out in a respectful and measured manner, thanks to the family or friendly spirit that prevails on the few days dedicated to this activity.
