castle with terrace for sale Douvrend, France

There are places that seem suspended outside of time, where every stone tells a story and nature reigns supreme. In the heart of the Pays de Bray, where the hills are adorned with meadows and hedgerows, a discreet path leads to an avenue lined with centuries-old trees. Little by little, the outside world fades away. No more neighbors, no more overlooking neighbors, only birdsong, the wind rustling through the branches, and the feeling of entering a secret, entirely unspoiled domain. It is there, surrounded by fields stretching as far as the eye can see, that a 17th-century château stands, flanked by its two towers. Behind its stone and brick façade, typical of the region, the residence has gracefully weathered the centuries. Carefully restored, it has preserved the authenticity of its architecture while embracing modern comforts. Inside, the magic is immediate: a majestic antique staircase winds its way up four levels, the original parquet floors bear the patina of time, monumental fireplaces warm the reception rooms, and light plays across the delicate woodwork. With its 350 square meters of living space, the château lends itself equally well to family life and the art of entertaining. Spacious reception rooms open onto the park, eight bedrooms are spread across the floors, some with their own bathrooms, and a large attic room invites relaxation or convivial gatherings. In the basement, superb vaulted cellars recall the property's prestigious history. Just a few steps away, a second architectural ensemble unfolds, perfectly designed for welcoming and entertaining. Around a charming courtyard are grouped a renovated farmhouse in the purest Norman tradition, a former barn transformed into a guest house, as well as a reception hall and a covered courtyard for celebrating grand events. This private hamlet forms a self-contained space, preserving the owners' privacy while offering exceptional potential for creating a high-end guesthouse or an exceptional hospitality venue. The estate also includes several Norman outbuildings, such as workshops, a woodshed, garages, and a gatehouse requiring complete restoration. Below, a 17th-century fountain and wash house, listed as Historical Monuments, have stood silent witnesses to a rich and glorious past for centuries. Just five kilometers away, the small spa town of Forges-les-Eaux offers shops, a casino, restaurants, a golf driving range, and lakeside walks. Nearby train stations and motorway access provide easy connections to Rouen, Dieppe, Amiens, Paris, and Beauvais International Airport, located an hour's drive away.

Overlooking the splendid natural site of the Somme Valley, this 18th-century masterpiece with its highly refined symmetrical brick-and-stone architecture, inspired by a landmark 18th-century architectural treatise, rises atop a series of monumental south-facing terraces sheltering some of the largest private greenhouses in France, stretching 100 meters in length. The 18-hectare classical and romantic landscaped park is bordered for 1 km by the river and includes a 5-hectare lake dotted with small peninsulas. The chateau, flooded with light throughout the day thanks to its East-West orientation, features sumptuous sequences of salons and bedrooms adorned with painted and gilded rococo woodwork housing original paintings by Jean-Baptiste Huet, creating an enchanting décor enhanced by the magnificent south-facing views over the valley from the salons. The architecture of the chateau, of remarkable virtuosity, presents a classical symmetry reminiscent of the architecture of the Hôtel de Biron, now the Musée Rodin in Paris, completed in 1737. The architect Charles-Étienne Briseux began the chateau in 1733 and published the plans in his work “L'Art de bâtir les maisons de campagne” in 1743. Pierre de Buissy, son of the original patron, completed the interior decoration around 1763. His portrait by Joseph-Siffred Duplessis is held in the Ottawa Museum and is currently featured in a major exhibition in Carpentras under the direction of the Louvre. It is said that the splendor of the chateau originated from a youthful romance he allegedly had at Versailles with Adélaïde de France, daughter of Louis XV, and that he wished to receive her at his chateau in order to marry her.   Inside, after ascending the grand central staircase, the ground floor, flooded with light all day long and lavishly appointed, is arranged around an oval stone hall decorated with antique-style pilasters and a black-and-white cabochon floor. It opens onto an exceptional dining room with 18th-century painted wood paneling decorated with vegetal motifs and adorned with two oil-on-canvas paintings on the theme of Love by Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745–1811), whose works are displayed in the world's greatest museums, including the Louvre, the MET in New York, and the V&A in London. The ground floor continues with the gilded salon featuring white-and-gold woodwork with dual exposure, decorated with a beautiful marble fireplace, followed by the spectacular Zodiac Salon, flooded with light from triple East, South and West exposures and offering sumptuous views over the valley. It is decorated with 12 zodiac sign paintings, a marble fireplace, large double interior doors, and Versailles parquet flooring. A magnificent staircase with faux-marble painted walls and a wrought-iron banister leads to the upper floors. A sumptuous oval bedroom decorated with floral painted woodwork and paintings by Jean-Baptiste Huet, with a marble fireplace. A library with superb decorative features.
