castle for sale Joigny, France

In Yonne, halfway between Chablis and Auxerre, a renovated 18th-century castle, its outbuildings and common areas are set within a park of over 7 hectares. The estate, which is all in one piece, covers approximately 7 hectares. It consists of meadows and wooded sections. Three accesses serve the estate, one of which leads to a parking area for the current clientele's vehicles, where accommodation and dining are offered. The castle, in a neoclassical style, is located to the south, while the outbuildings and common areas, which are more rustic in appearance, are to the north, facing each other and separated by a walled courtyard that is grassy, with shrubbery and trees. While the castle was built in the 18th century, the outbuildings date from the 19th century. The façades of the various buildings are mostly made of rubble or dressed stone and plastered, except for those of the common areas, which are made of exposed stone; the openings are predominantly straight or have a low arc, with their frames in brick or dressed stone; finally, the roofs, punctuated with dormers, skylights, and chimney stacks, are almost all covered in flat tiles from the region, or slates for three slopes that cover the castle, in various shapes. The castle dwelling, with its two levels under the eaves, and the three other habitable outbuildings (formerly a dovecote, longhouse, and farm), each raised by one floor, underwent a complete renovation in the 2010s.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Pleasant town with all shops within walking distance of the property and heritage. A bit of history: This manor, mentioned as early as the end of the 15th century, originally had a defensive role. Protected by its moat and overlooking the river and its mills, it also controlled access to the town. From the 17th century onwards, it gradually lost its role as a fortified house and was transformed into a pleasure property at the beginning of the 18th century. Completely preserved during the Revolution, it passed from family to family and became the property of a deputy from Yonne in the 19th century. Still maintained and modernized by heritage enthusiasts, it is now available to you. Contact Laurent Sineau for information and visits. Diagnostics are currently being carried out.
