A former 18th century convent, now a residence, a chateau with an indoor swimming pool and 2 hectares of grounds. Partially destroyed in 1789 during the French Revolution, the former convent was subsequently acquired by a family close to the Emperor during the Second French Empire, with the aim of remodelling and renovating the building and transforming it into a comfortable family residence. At that time, it was granted a view ordinance over the Saône by imperial decree and became a 'chateau'. The property is situated in the centre of a market town with a population of more than 3,500, overlooking part of it and boasting an uninterrupted view of the river meandering down below. A small alleyway at the end of the street leads to an impressive entrance gate. It provides direct access to a front courtyard with garage and guest parking. To the immediate left of the gate stands a former caretaker's cottage, converted into an independent gîte (guest house) bordered by an outdoor parking space. To the right of the gate, in the main courtyard, there is an old greenhouse. The rectangular main building is flanked by two wings to the west and two rows of three semi-circular stone arches to the east. The facades of the buildings are rendered and feature numerous large, paned casement windows or French windows. The wings have dressed-stone corner quoins. The main building has a traditional flat-tile gable roof, while the wings are topped by gambrel roofs clad with glazed tiles, each crowned with two ridge finials. At the rear of the chateau, behind the arches, a small courtyard opens onto the parklands, where a raised bridle path runs alongside a quiet street. The second part of the grounds, opposite the main facade, is divided into different areas. A second gate provides access to the upper section of the grounds, where a flight of steps leads down to the main house.

A magnificent Italian-style chateau built in 1877 with splendid grounds, nestled in the town of Écully in Greater Lyon. The chateau was built in 1877. Beyond a long wall, it comes into view as soon as you step through the property’s imposing entrance gate. The whole edifice is built of dressed stone. It is a replica of a Florentine villa in a Palladian style that bears all the traits of Vitruvian architecture – a building based on the golden ratio with three essential qualities: strength, usefulness and beauty. The number seven is represented in the number of rooms and windows and even in the garden where there are seven topiary shrubs. The chateau is square in shape and faces south. It is crowned with a flat roof. Its horizontal lines combine subtly with the verticality of its columns and tall Renaissance-style windows capped with triangular pediments. The building has a garden level, a raised ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. On both the facade and the rear elevation, a double flight of stone steps with two quarter turns and finely carved pear balusters lead up into the raised ground floor: on the north side, the steps take you to an entrance hall and on the south side the steps take you to a vast lounge with large windows at the end of a long gallery. You can also reach the interior via other entrances on each side and you can drive straight up to the foot of the chateau’s front steps. On the garden side, a flight of steps takes you down beyond the topiary shrubs to a vast lawn. The edifice is surrounded by its lush grounds. Its east side is edged with leafy trees that provide shade and coolness. Furthermore, its gallery with imposing columns protects the dwelling from the sun too. On the west side, woods make the property cosy. And in the garden, at the bottom of its steps, there is a large oval pond. Beyond this ornamental pond, your gaze is drawn to the splendid vista of greenery and open space that the garden offers.
