Ref.4955: Chateau with caretaker’s house and outbuildings on 16 acres for sale in the Deux-Sèvres department In the heart of the Gâtine Poitevine, in the east of the Deux-Sèvres and on the edge of the Vienne, this property enjoys an unspoilt, rolling and verdant rural setting. The area offers a particularly pleasant way of life, among hedged farmland, meadows and small valleys, while remaining well connected to the region’s main towns. The property is close to a lively village offering all the main everyday shops and services, making it equally suitable as a main residence, a family home or a venue for receptions. Saint-Maixent-l’École, Poitiers and Niort are easily reached, while the TGV station provides fast connections to Paris. The region also has many attractions: rural and historic heritage, golf courses, walking trails, the landscapes of the Gâtine and relatively quick access to the Atlantic coast. Offering approximately 339 sqm of living space, the château is arranged over three levels and retains a particularly pleasant layout, designed as much for entertaining as for year-round family life. The entrance is via a short flight of steps opening onto a hallway with old cement tiles, the true hub of the ground floor. It serves the main reception rooms, the staircase, a study, the WC, the cellar stairs and the kitchen. To the right, the spacious and authentic fitted kitchen retains all the charm of a lived-in house: Bavarian stoneware floor, exposed oak beams, fireplace and stove. It also has direct access to the park and leads to a utility room serving as boiler room and laundry. A passage then leads to the dining room, particularly bright thanks to its dual aspect. With its fine ceiling height, it features an oak parquet floor, a straight marble fireplace and two built-in cupboards. The walls, lined with velvet over padding, contribute to the room’s hushed and elegant atmosphere. Beyond it, a wide double door opens onto the large drawing room, with generous proportions, fine mouldings, a marble fireplace and many openings onto the park. One side extends into a turret, forming a more intimate and particularly bright space. From the hallway, a small study facing the park completes the ground-floor reception rooms. Nearby are also a WC with hand basin and the stairs down to the cellar. The cellar, brick-vaulted and tiled, offers several storage areas, notably for wine, and has independent access to the outside. The main staircase, made entirely of carved oak and housed in one of the château’s towers, leads to the first floor. This level is arranged around a library-billiard room, a room of character with parquet flooring and a fireplace. It serves three bedrooms. The first bedroom, of generous size, has its own bathroom with bathtub and retains a marble fireplace. The second, also spacious, has its private bathroom. At the other end of the floor is a master suite, partly set in the tower, with marble fireplace and adjoining bathroom. A separate WC and a small storage area or dressing room complete this level. The second floor has a more intimate, family feel. A landing leads to a first bedroom with fireplace and eaves storage, then to a TV lounge serving the other rooms. There are two further bedrooms, one with two windows and plenty of storage, a small study, and a bathroom with bathtub and WC. The eaves have been used to create numerous storage spaces, particularly practical in a house intended for everyday living. The whole forms a residence in which the period features – parquet floors, marble fireplaces, panelling, mouldings, cement tiles, carved staircase and turret rooms – have been preserved, while offering a fluid and comfortable layout. More than a showpiece château, this is a true family home, warm and lived-in, able to welcome many relatives and friends with ease. The outbuildings form a particularly complete ensemble, organised around the estate’s former domestic, agricultural and equestrian functions, and contribute fully to the character of the property. Close to the château, an old red-painted timber building houses the historic water reserve system. Before the estate was connected to mains water in 1975, this system supplied the property with water. Today it is an interesting testimony to the way the estate once operated. The outbuildings retain a strong equestrian identity. The former carriage house, now used as a garage and workshop, has a cement floor and is clean and functional. It leads into a very fine tack room with parquet floor, panelling and original wooden saddle racks. The former stable has kept its original layout. Its roof has been redone and it has electricity and water points. Two loose boxes remain, each fitted with stone mangers and old hay racks. Upstairs are the former groom’s room and several spaces once used to store grain, fodder and equipment. A direct access leads to a small service courtyard. The outbuildings also include a former cowshed, a kennel, a barn, a large garage for around six vehicles, a former hayloft and a wine cellar. These various spaces offer many possibilities for use, storage or conversion, subject to the necessary permits. The property also includes a caretaker’s house of approximately 63 sqm, with its own independent entrance through a wide gate of about 5.50 metres, practical for deliveries or for keeping the different parts of the estate independent. On one level, this house comprises a kitchen, a bathroom with bathtub and WC, a large living room with fireplace and stove, and a bedroom. It can be entered from either the kitchen or the living room. The floors are tiled and there is central heating. Part of the roof has been redone. The house has its own enclosed garden with water points, fruit trees and a former henhouse, giving it true independence from the château. An additional building, formerly used as a henhouse, has electricity. It also has an upper floor offering further potential, but requiring complete renovation. These outbuildings, well preserved in their original layout, are a real asset to the property, whether for family use or for an equestrian, caretaking, hospitality or development project. Arrival at the property immediately sets the tone. Beyond an elegant entrance gate, a long drive leads to the château, marked at its start by two stone lions that enhance the majestic character of the approach. This vista leads to the main courtyard and then to the front steps of the residence. The château stands at the heart of a fully enclosed park of approximately 7.4 acres (3 hectares), made up of lawns, paths, flower beds and very fine old trees. The park features several mature species which create true landscaped vistas and give the estate an atmosphere that is at once sheltered, romantic and very green. A former walled kitchen garden is one of the most interesting areas of the park. It has numerous water points, a pond and a working fountain, as well as an orchard. Nearby are also a summer kitchen and a small shed for garden equipment. The park is extended by an adjoining meadow of approximately 4,500 sqm. On the other side of the road, the property includes a further 7.4 acres (3 hectares) or so, partly enclosed, with a small area formerly laid out as a riding arena. This land has a captured spring, piped to a small technical building housing the pumping system that sends the water back to the estate. A river runs along the bottom of the plot. The whole thus covers approximately 16 acres (6.5 hectares), offering a fine variety of ornamental park, meadows, enclosed areas, orchard, woodland and more natural land. An old pond to be restored completes the outdoor features and offers further potential for landscaping.

A carriage ride from Paris, the Château de la Fontaine, an eternal fable. Just 35 kilometers from Paris, where the capital gradually yields to foliage and silence, the Château de la Fontaine in Auffargis emerges as a timeless interlude. Built for himself by the Parisian architect Jean-François Yvert between 1871 and 1875, the estate spans just over 1050 square meters. It stands at the heart of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Natural Park, embraced by the Rambouillet Forest, and overlooks the Abbey of Vaux-de-Cernay, a Cistercian jewel nestled in the valley. Architecturally, it echoes the Louis XIII style and the traditional brick and stone châteaux of the Île-de-France. Here, the stone does more than recount history; it whispers it, like the wind stirring through the asphodel leaves. This château is poetry, and more than that, a fable worthy of La Fontaine, where every façade and every perspective invites contemplation and reverie. Its theatrical elegance, expressed through carved woodwork, intimate proportions, and a meticulous attention to detail characteristic of the grand residences of its century, makes this jewel a true family home. A caretakers house and an outbuilding complete the ensemble. Surrounding it are 30 hectares of landscaped gardens and preserved nature, a verdant setting where the seasons unfold like a ballerina crossing the stage in an ethereal movement. Pathways trace meditative walks, clearings create moments of openness, and the entire estate seems suspended between dream and reality. An exceptional renovation, carried out with uncompromising standards, has reinterpreted the château for contemporary living without ever altering its soul. Modern comfort blends in discreetly: a wine cellar, spacious garage, heated indoor swimming pool, gym, billiard room with English bar, orangery, elevator Each a contemporary note inscribed within a perfectly orchestrated heritage composition. Five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are currently fitted, with the possibility of creating four additional bedrooms in the outbuilding. This property is an emotion, a rare address where the art of living converses with history, and where luxury expresses itself through grandeur in simplicity. Modest in scale yet radiant in spirit, this château carries within it the nobility of great houses. It invites its future custodian to continue an ancient legend patiently etched in stone, and to engrave their own, framed by the enduring word : family.

A listed medieval chateau, redesigned in the Renaissance, chapel, school and workshop, set in nearly 3 hectares of grounds, 40 minutes from Besançon. On the outskirts of the village, overlooking the fields, the chateau occupies a central position within the estate, on the site of a former 11th-century fortified castle that no longer exists. The south-western section consists of a tower and an entrance porch, where traces of the former 15th-century drawbridge are still visible. The courtyard facade was built in 1570 for Antoine d’Oiselay by the architect Hugues Sambin; both of whom were local figures. A major renovation project carried out in the early 19th century by the architect Marnotte on behalf of the de Magnoncourt family gave the complex its current layout, notably involving the raising of the roof and the creation of new interior fittings. The murals in the reception room date back to the 1980s and were painted by pupils at an art school. The building has an L-shaped layout, with a round medieval tower to the south-west and a square tower to the north-east. An outbuilding is situated to the north and is connected to it via a vestibule on the lower level. The building, comprising six storeys, includes a semi-basement housing cellars and the former kitchens, as well as an attic on the top floor. Built in the 1970s, the three-storey annexe was intended to be a school. Its converted loft houses a former cinema.

Château de Roquefoulet — A Palladian Residence near Toulouse History: Built in 1818 for Jean-Claude de Champreux, Marquis d’Altenbourg, Château de Roquefoulet is a Palladian residence inspired by the great Italian villas. Its architecture, defined by harmonious proportions, symmetrical façades and an abundance of natural light, represents a distinctive example of the architectural heritage of the Lauragais. Partially listed as a Historic Monument, the château retains many of its original architectural features and decorative elements. Between 2015 and 2020, Roquefoulet underwent a complete restoration, carried out with the involvement of heritage architects, master craftsmen and specialist companies. The guiding principle was to preserve the character and elegance of the residence while introducing the standards of comfort expected today. Location: Set in the heart of the Lauragais, the property is located less than 30 minutes from the historic centre of Toulouse, with shops and everyday amenities just a few minutes away. Nearby, Lake Thésauque and its leisure facilities also provide access to a range of outdoor and water-based activities. Setting: The estate extends over approximately 11 hectares, offering a private and preserved environment. Surrounding the château is a landscaped park designed in the 19th century in the tradition of English landscape gardens, with sweeping lawns, long perspectives, wooded areas and centuries-old trees. Atlas cedars, a century-old linden tree and a collection of rare species form a genuine botanical heritage. In recognition of the quality of this ensemble, the estate was awarded the “Ensemble Arbre Remarquable” distinction in 2019. The Property: The château offers more than 1,500 sq m of living space, with generous proportions while retaining the warmth and intimacy of a private residence. Upon entering, the grand hall and its monumental double staircase immediately establish the character of the house. Several reception rooms, a dining room, library, study and semi-professional kitchen form the principal living spaces. The upper floors accommodate nine air-conditioned bedrooms and suites, overlooking the park and combining historic features with contemporary comfort. A wellness area with hammam and massage room, together with a wine cellar, completes the main residence. At the entrance to the estate, an elegant independent caretaker’s house overlooks the gates and provides separate accommodation for staff or guests. Set apart from the main residence, a fully glazed, air-conditioned reception pavilion of more than 500 sq m provides an elegant setting for weddings, private receptions, seminars or retreats, while preserving the privacy of the château itself. Less than thirty minutes from Toulouse, Roquefoulet brings together the architecture of a grand Palladian residence, a preserved landscaped heritage and the comfort of a contemporary restoration, set within eleven hectares of parkland and grounds.
