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.

A 17th-century chateau listed as a historical monument with a large outbuilding and splendid grounds looking out at the Rhône valley in France’s Drôme department. The local village was once a fief of the Poitiers-Valentinois family. It became part of the Kingdom of France at the start of the 15th century. The village had a chateau before this one. That old chateau was known as the region’s most important fortification, but it was destroyed in the French Wars of Religion. That was when a new chateau was built just outside the village, along the side of a road linking the village to the nearest town, a short distance north of it. Its location was not chosen at random: a spring lies beyond the ditches and it once filled up the property’s ponds and brought its fountains to life. A vast earthen terrace of more than one hectare is edged with embankments and dry moats. Upon it stand two fine edifices built in the style of the Italian Late Renaissance. The chateau towers in the middle of this grassy terrace. Construction of the chateau began in 1591. The edifice continued to be built during the second half of the 17th century. It is a large square-shaped structure with corner towers and a central inner courtyard. It has three levels and a floor area of over 1,300m². In front of the chateau, at the property’s entrance, stands an edifice that was built at the end of the 17th century. It is about 60 metres long and edges a road that runs along the other side of the moat. This structure is made up of a gatehouse flanked with two wings. This gatehouse controls access to the property. The whole building offers a floor area of around 450m². Together, the chateau and the gatehouse with its wings represent a splendid feat of architecture: a classic symmetrical layout going from east to west on an open, grassy terrace. Beyond this section of lawns on which the edifices stand, the grounds extend through meadows and woods over a naturally undulating area. The chateau has been listed as a historical monument since 1990 for its walls, roofing and interior decorative features.

A CHATEAU AND ITS REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BOURG-EN-BRESSE In Viriat, just a few minutes from Bourg-en-Bresse, this property is nestled within one of the region's most beautiful wooded parks. Over the centuries, this former 17th-century farmhouse has evolved into a charming château with exceptional spaciousness, now extended by a contemporary orangery that opens wide onto the landscape. With over 700 m² of living space, several double-height living rooms, eight bedrooms, and vast reception areas, the estate offers a lifestyle centered on light, nature, and family gatherings. A swimming pool, pond, tennis court, terraces, and outbuildings enhance this sense of space and openness within more than four acres of landscaped grounds. A REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY The park is one of the property's most distinctive features. Upon entering, the view opens up to centuries-old trees, expansive lawns, and rare species planted over time by a former owner who was a botanist. Giant sequoias, Atlas cedars, remarkable maples, magnolias, and linden trees compose a living landscape that evolves with the seasons. The estate offers a rare sense of depth and tranquility while remaining in close proximity to Bourg-en-Bresse and major thoroughfares. Surrounding the château, the stone terraces, pond, fountain, swimming pool, and tennis court naturally extend the living spaces outward. Here, the park does not merely accompany the residence?it becomes its very soul. SPACIOUS ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT With over 700 m² of living space spread across three levels, the château features particularly generous rooms while maintaining a seamless flow of movement. The living rooms follow one another in a warm atmosphere where light highlights the historic materials: stone, wood paneling, exposed beams, and antique flagstone and hardwood floors. Each era has left its mark with consistency. Several extensions inspired by the architecture of 18th- and 19th-century châteaux were added to the original 17th-century farmhouse before a contemporary orangery created a spectacular opening onto the park. The large reception rooms alternate with more intimate spaces dedicated to reading, relaxation, or family life. Eight bedrooms and several suites provide a discreet and elegant setting to welcome family and guests. A PROPERTY FOR ENTERTAINING, GATHERING, AND PASSING ON The estate strikes a rare balance between grandeur and the simple pleasures of life. The spacious layout allows for large family gatherings, extended stays, or weekend entertaining without ever losing the property's intimacy. The outbuildings?including the former stable converted into a garage and wine cellar?as well as the spaces still available for conversion offer various possibilities for future development, whether for hosting guests or as a vacation home. The proximity to the A40 highway, the Bourg-en-Bresse TGV station, and connections to Lyon or Geneva further enhances this convenience, making it ideal for both a primary and secondary residence. Yet the château retains that precious sense of being in a world of its own?a place deeply imbued with trees, the seasons, and the passage of time. AGENCY'S OPINION What immediately strikes one here is the balance between the château's scale and the expanse of the grounds. Rarely does a property manage to offer so much space while maintaining such a gentle and natural atmosphere. The trees, the light, and the views give the estate a quiet, almost timeless presence, just minutes from the city. BEHIND THE CENTURY-OLD TREES, A PROPERTY OF RARE PROPORTIONS

This property is ideally suited for a buyer seeking a preserved lifestyle setting, a transformation project, or a rare heritage asset close to major routes. A confidential estate combining freedom, space and potential.

A 17th-century chateau and its 39-hectare estate listed as a historic monument 30 minutes from Lyon. Built between 1608 and 1616 on a former castle motte acquired by Jean Sève, Lyon's Receiver General of Finances, and accessible via a drawbridge, the chateau's architecture is distinctive due to its perfect symmetry. It has three storeys, with cellars and attic space in the main central part of the building. This part is flanked on either side by two wings, each topped by a hipped roof with rolled eaves, and by two projecting corner towers topped by square-based convex arched roofs, also with rolled eaves. The north and south facades of the main building have large mullioned windows with small panes, with seven windows from the ground floor to the second floor. The slate, hipped roof of the main building features three pediment dormers to the north and south - one in the centre with an arched pediment and the others with a triangular pediment. On either side, the windows on the wings and towers are the same type and height as those on the main building. The roofs are different. Some of them need renovation - those above the towers and the central building. If the building’s shape seems is surprising and the size of the wings seems modest compared to that of the central body, it is because the body houses a very large former Calvinist temple on the second floor, illuminated by seven windows on each facade. It was one of the 'fief temples' that France tolerated on its territory after the Edict of Nantes, on condition that they remained discreet. Three dormer windows to the south and north, unique because of their unusual size and their Holy Trinity symbols, were and remain, the only external sign of this on the building. A moat surrounds the chateau and the outbuildings. The property is enhanced by outbuildings such as a caretaker's cottage and a farmhouse with a swimming pool in its walled square courtyard. Lastly, a fountain consisting of a basin adorned by three marmosets from the park at Vaux-le-Vicomte stands in the centre of a circular pool, beyond a large terraced flowerbed, in front of the chateau’s south facade.

In the Beaujolais, in a dominant position with a 180° view, a castle and its cellar, an old wine estate. At the bend of a communal road, an iron gate opens onto a tree-lined cavalier path that leads to the foot of the castle, overlooking the valley and surrounding lands. A wide terrace, flat and open to the plain, encircles the building and its exposed stone bases. A second gate, located between the castle and the cellar, leads through the inner courtyard to the former farmhouse of the estate, now independent. On both sides, the gaze is drawn upwards to the glazed tile roof, reflecting the sunlight and creating a visual contrast with the simplicity of the symmetrical facades. The round corner tower links the two spaces. Beyond the courtyard, the cellar, once dedicated to production, now serves as a storage area. Rectangular in shape, it is separated from the old farmhouse by a common return.This description has been automatically translated from French.

EXCLUSIVE. Lots of character and ancient history in this medieval castle just 10 mins from the Rhône valley and the motorways. Overlooking the Chomérac valley without any nuisance, the fortress built in a park of nearly one hectare has basalt stone defense walls 160 cm high. The environment is exceptional and the view unobstructed over the Ardèche mountains. Rare in our region, the square central building is flanked by 4 habitable towers. Many remains convince us that the first stones that erected the fortified castle have existed since the time of the Roman Empire, but it was in the Middle Ages that it took the form we know today. In the 14th century, during the Renaissance, the inner courtyard was fitted out with a monumental staircase in the Italian style with 4 levels leading to the new pleasure floors. This majestic work still exists today. The attic has very good possibilities. This castrum has 3 levels of approximately 400 m2 including around twenty guest and private rooms with shower room and WC, dining rooms, lounges, kitchens, libraries, cellars, large cellars , garage. The 4 towers are fitted out. West-facing terrace of 80 m2 overlooking the park as well as a superb terrace to the North. To complete this exceptional property, 2 independent gites including a disabled person. A fully equipped reception room allows the organization of weddings and seminars. The covered swimming pool embellishes the superb park. Looted and damaged by the Duke of Montmorancy in 1628, then during the French Revolution, the castle gradually regained a certain splendor in the 20th century. It is now up to you to make it last in history.
