listed castle for sale Magny-en-Vexin, 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. This unique estate, perfectly secluded in a verdant setting, embodies the rare combination of historical beauty and modern comfort. An ideal location to envision a prestigious hospitality project, or simply to experience château life in a bucolic and unspoiled setting.

CHATEAU BUILT FROM THE 15TH TO THE 20TH CENTURY, 120 KM FROM PARIS IN THE PERCHE REGION - Exceptional charm and character - 5 main buildings - 18 bedrooms - 2,500 m² built area - Southern Perche - 8 km from the A10 motorway exit - 20 hectares - Structural shell in good condition, interior fully requiring restoration. Fully listed Historic Monument. On the edge of a small village in the Perche region, 120 km from Paris and 8 km from the motorway, this chateau of exceptional charm consists of 5 main buildings dating from the 15th to the 20th century, on the site of a former chateau burned during the Hundred Years' War. There are two entrances. The first, on the village side, is through a tall and long wrought-iron gate leading to the former gatehouse residence, now converted into a grand salon. The second entrance, on the park side, passes through a tall crenellated gateway dominated by the imposing “water chateau” tower. The impressive richly decorated medieval gatehouse quickly appears after crossing the bridge spanning the canal, followed by the other courtyard buildings. The heterogeneity of this ensemble reflects the long history of the estate. The original square medieval chateau surrounded by moats was burned in the first half of the 15th century by the Earl of Salisbury, commander-in-chief of the English troops, while on his way to lay siege to Orléans. Rebuilt at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, the remaining parts of this medieval chateau are the gatehouse known as “Le Donjon” and the Saint-François Tower. This medieval chateau was incorporated in the 19th century into the ensemble formed by the other buildings through the destruction of one of its sides and the filling in of part of the moats connecting it to the “new” chateau. The main body of the current chateau is composed of 16th-, 17th-, and 18th-century buildings. A first pavilion forming a gatehouse residence attached to a gallery was built at the end of the 16th century and remodeled in the second half of the 17th century with the addition of two small pavilions. This ensemble was raised by one additional floor in the 18th century. The enclosure of the gatehouse residence to create a grand office gave it its final appearance. These buildings, together with the Louis XVI pavilion and the other outbuildings, form a U-shaped courtyard overlooking a splendid 20-hectare park, notably featuring a large 200-meter-long terrace overlooking a vast meadow on one side and separated from a woodland of beautiful mature deciduous trees on the other side by a canal. The park also includes sumptuous boxwood embroidery gardens and yew topiaries, as well as a grand avenue and a one-hectare vegetable garden. 5 main buildings: 1 - The “chateau” closest to the village square, known as “Le Pavillon du Bourg”, 16th, 17th, and 18th century. 2 - The gatehouse known as “Le Donjon”, 15th, 18th, and 20th century. A 15th-century gallery, and a residential section built in 1980 connected to an 18th-century tower. 3 - The Saint-François Tower, 15th century. 4 - The Louis XVI pavilion known as the “Renaissance House” and its tower known as “La Cloche”, 16th century, modified in the 17th and 18th centuries. 5 - The outbuildings, 16th–19th–20th century. Superb 16th-century timber frameworks. Location: -120 km from Paris, motorway access 16 km toward Paris, 8 km toward Le Mans. -8 km from Brou, shops and services.
