Castle Sens (89)

1 hour 30 minutes from Paris, between Jovinien and Puisaye, located on the edge of a town with all amenities, charming and authentic SEIGNEURIE built in the 17th century, its guest house and its outbuildings in the heart of a park enclosed by moats and tree hedges of 1.9 hectares. The property is accessed via a 50m private driveway. On either side, there is an orchard and lawn, and a first outbuilding of 100m2 used as a garage and storage shed with adjoining parking. A motorized wrought-iron gate disappears, allowing you to cross a fixed bridge. Beneath your feet, the water-filled moat, fed by a stream, whispers the history of this ancient stronghold. A large, square-plan reception courtyard, in the French style, measuring 1500 m2, is bordered by three buildings: The MANOR HOUSE, approximately 210 m2, is all on one level. With a ceiling height of 3.70 m, a large entrance hall provides access to the second part of the park. On the right, an elegant 52 m2 living room, a library with alcove, toilet and shower room nestled in one of the turrets. On the left, a 29 m2 dining room separated from the kitchen by timber framing. Adjoining this is a 46 m2 master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom in the second turret; a toilet and dressing room complete this wing. Antique terracotta tiles, herringbone parquet flooring, half-timbering and beams, preserved materials. Large attic of 210 m2 above. To the right of the main house, a 120 m2 guest house comprises two entrances, four bedrooms, two bathrooms with toilets, and a small living room with a fireplace. There are also two cellars and a room housing two heat pumps (installed in 2018) and an oil-fired boiler that supplies the first two houses. On the left wing, a symmetrical 3rd building of 140 m2, comprising 6 rooms and a workshop, is just waiting for your renovation projects (artist's house, gîte or offices). Rare authentic property, having retained most of its original materials, well maintained, permanently modernized. Around the three dwellings: a large lawn of 4000 m2 behind the main house, a moat filled with water, fed by a stream, protecting the property and long avenues of ancient trees surrounding everything. 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. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr

Castle Le Lion-d'Angers (49)

Réf. 4855 : a charming castle 30 km from Angers. In Upper Anjou, this charming little château, built in the early 19th century at the behest of the current owners’ ancestors, stands on a promontory and commands a commanding view over the Oudon valley. This elegant residence immediately captivates with the purity of its lines and the quality of its setting in the heart of a beautiful wooded park, a veritable haven of greenery in which it has found its place remarkably well. Close to Angers, and not far from the market town of Le Lion d’Angers, which is a five-minute drive away, this property enjoys a favourable location between Paris and the coast, and a central position linking it to the major cities of the West: Nantes, Rennes, Le Mans and Bordeaux. Just a stone’s throw away, the Parc de l’Isle Briand is home to one of the world’s most renowned equestrian venues. It is bordered by the Lion d’Angers racecourse, which hosts several internationally recognised equestrian events each year. Quiet yet not isolated, the property captivates with both the purity of its classical style and the unobstructed views offered by the surrounding countryside. The setting is ideal for family life as well as for a refined country residence. The château’s architecture, characterised by great simplicity, reflects the style of the fine mansions of the Anjou region: a symmetrical layout, tall windows and well-balanced proportions. The eye is drawn here more to the overall harmony than to decorative elements, lending the whole building a great deal of distinction. Inspired by the Loire Valley style, it was built in local stone and tuffeau limestone to a four-storey plan with a slate roof and four bays arranged around a slightly projecting central bay, thanks to the monumental entrance portal, framed by simple pilasters supporting a moulded entablature with dentils. The particularly elegant semi-circular door is surmounted by a fan-shaped transom window that lends the whole structure a sense of delicacy and verticality. Also of note is the presence, as on the south side, of a pretty double-curved staircase on the north side. These interior spaces cover an area of approximately 400 sqm and are laid out as follows: On the raised ground floor: an entrance hall, from which a remarkable balustrade staircase rises, provides access to a series of adjoining rooms—the reception room, music room, study, large sitting room and dining room—and to a hallway leading to a kitchen and a small sitting room. These rooms are adorned with attractive decorative features, marble fireplaces, beautiful antique parquet flooring, wooden picture rails and moulded ceilings. On the first floor: a landing leads to a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom on one side, and to a gallery leading to three bedrooms, a dressing room and two bathrooms. Just like on the ground floor, you can see antique parquet flooring, attractive decorative features, marble fireplaces, wooden picture rails and ornate ceilings. On the second floor: a corridor leads to former staff bedrooms in the attic. On the basement: former service rooms used for storage and as a boiler room. Outbuildings : The property comprises the following outbuildings: 1/ A former U-shaped stable building enclosing a square courtyard to the east, with a walled rear courtyard to the west, built of local stone and tuffeau with a slate roof (recently re-roofed). It comprises several rooms used for storage, workshops and a garage, as well as two functional dwellings: The annexe: on the ground floor, a living room with a kitchen area and a staircase leading to the upper floor, plus a toilet. On the first floor, three bedrooms, a shower room and a toilet. Features include original terracotta floor tiles, simple window frames and double glazing, heating via a wood-burning insert and electric convector heaters, hot water supplied by an electric boiler, and a private sewage system in need of upgrading. The caretaker’s accommodation: on the ground floor, entrance hall with staircase leading to the upper floor, toilet, kitchen and bedroom on the same level. On the first floor, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. Features single window frames and double glazing, heating via a wood-burning stove, hot water supplied by an electric boiler, private sewage system in need of updating. 2/ Other outbuildings: sheepfold, adjoining stable, kennel and woodshed in need of renovation. A large and magnificent 16 acres of English-style parkland, featuring beautiful trees dating back several centuries (cedars, redwoods, oaks, chestnut trees, sweet chestnuts, camellias, etc.), a charming little pond and a large walled vegetable garden. There is a well on the property. One immediately feels a sense of tranquillity and harmony, as if the place naturally invites you to slow down, contemplate and savour an environment that has remained unspoilt.

A stone staircase leads to a large wooden door which opens in to an expansive hall which highlights many of the architectural features of the château. A 2m wide stone staircase dominates and it shows the height of the building. Double doors open into a generous formal dining room which also houses a pool table.

Castle Angouleme (16)

Located 15 minutes from Angoulême, a city of art and history, and the TGV train station, this charming and characterful little castle has remained in the same family for centuries. Standing next to a charming Romanesque church and a splendid lime tree, from the top of its rock, it overlooks a wooded and hilly valley : the view is splendid and breathtaking. It is nestled in a green setting, while the village and all shops (butcher, bakery, and convenience store open 7 days a week) are a one-minute walk away. The property is also close to many hiking trails. The owners have taken great care to restore their property while respecting its character. The floors have been preserved (terracotta tiles, rammed earth, and forged nail-worked floors). You will journey through the ages, from prehistory (a cave and its silos carved into the rock below), through the medieval and classical periods, to the romantic 19th century. Built in the 13th century, then modified in the 15th and 18th centuries, the castle offers on the ground floor a kitchen with a terracotta floor, a dining room with a wooden floor and fireplace, an entrance hall with a terracotta floor with a main wooden staircase and rammed earth floor. This room gives access to a shower room with a small bedroom above, as well as a first boiler room with an oil and wood boiler. You then enter the music room with a wooden fireplace, on parquet flooring with Persian walnut paneling. At the end of the hallway with terracotta tiles, a bedroom has been converted into the old kitchen, revealing a superb fireplace with a rotisserie and a hexagonal terracotta floor. The hallway also gives access to a shower room and a second boiler room with an oil boiler. From the courtyard, another entrance on a stone slab, with a wooden service staircase, and a WC at the end, gives access to a small apartment comprising a bedroom on the ground floor (the Blasons bedroom) and a bedroom on the mezzanine, as well as an adjoining shower room with WC, and a private courtyard. On the first floor, the wooden landing opens onto a red bed bedroom with parquet flooring and a fireplace, along with a large bathroom/shower/WC with ship's-deck parquet flooring. Above the vestibule, a library corridor with wooden flooring leads to a living room with oak flooring and a fireplace. The staircase in the tower is used as a cabinet of curiosities and provides access below to a study. On the other side of the corridor, a dining room converted from a former bedroom, with parquet flooring and a fireplace, features a small kitchen and an adjoining bathroom. A corridor with stairs leads to a bedroom with wooden flooring and a fireplace, and to a medieval bedroom with wooden flooring and a fireplace, with a private bathroom and WC, also accessible via the service staircase. The second floor contains the attic, a bedroom, a bathroom, and another room. The castle's roofs are very recent (from 2011 to 2018), and the tiles are all fixed to prevent the roof caps from slipping. The barns benefited from the same precautions during the renovations in 2018 and 2023. The sanitation system is to be redone, with the possibility of connecting to the communal network. A charming old sheepfold could inspire many projects (yoga room, guest house, etc.). Comprising approximately 100 sq.mt of living space on one level, it features a large living room with an open kitchen (53 sq.mt), two bedrooms, a laundry room, a bathroom/shower room, and a separate toilet. Many outbuildings allow for the realization of beautiful projects: barns on the sheepfold side, and a garage and a barn on the church side. The romantic garden features a beautiful masonry swimming pool (13.50 x 4.50), built in 2012 and heated by a Zodiac heat pump. The gray liner is new (June 2024) and of superior quality (90° thickness), with glass and chlorine filtration. Nearly 14 hectares of woods and meadows surround the property. Note the presence of a well and a 60 m³ rainwater tank. Not far from Angoulême, this property is 10 minutes from a shopping area (Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, etc.), while the nearest shops are within walking distance. Sale price including fees : 1,166,000 euros. Buyer's fees. Fee : 6 % VAT of the price excluding fees. Sale price excluding fees : 1,100,000 euros. Energy class : E. Climate class : D.

Castle Joyeuse (07)

Just 6 km from amenities, the château is located in a village in the heart of Lower Ardèche, already Mediterranean in its climate and landscapes. This peaceful region, on the edge of the Cévennes, offers a rare natural setting, with forests, plains, and vineyards, all bathed in Mediterranean light. The estate, in a single block, extends over 19.3 hectares, providing a preserved environment and great tranquility. This Renaissance château, whose origins date back to the 14th century, was transformed at the end of the 15th century into a true château of pleasure, with its south-facing façade, numerous mullioned windows with interior wooden shutters, and a corbelled tower to the west. Its central hexagonal tower houses a spiral staircase that lends rare elegance to the whole. The property is partially listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments (ISMH). With 550 m² of buildings, including 400 m² of living space, the château offers: - A large living room with exposed beam ceiling and adjoining library, as well as two additional reception rooms. - Two kitchens, including a vaulted summer kitchen on the ground floor, recently refurbished, as well as the main kitchen with adjoining dining room. - Seven bedrooms, including a master suite with Versailles-style parquet flooring and an antechamber. - Four magnificent fireplaces, stone floors, terracotta tiles, and period parquet. - A secondary access via a stone walkway connecting the second floor to a private parking area on the estate grounds. - Four vaulted cellars and partially convertible attics complete the property. The property also includes the possibility of a self-contained private apartment, featuring a spacious living room with open-plan kitchen and fireplace, a bedroom, a shower room, toilets, and a utility room. An ideal setup for welcoming guests in style or providing comfortable accommodation for staff. The exterior is equally remarkable: three vast successive Italian-style terraces with panoramic views, the first of which shelters a covered area with barbecue, an old bread oven, and a basin ready to be brought back to life. On the grounds, a magnificent period dovecote/pigeon tower recalls the estate’s history and authenticity. The panoramic view over the Cévennes plain, facing due south, is simply spectacular! Our opinion: This château is truly without equal in the region: a characterful residence of rare authenticity, carefully restored with exemplary modern comfort. Its Renaissance influence is clearly perceptible in the elegance of its architecture, while offering high-quality features in an exceptional natural environment. A property for true heritage lovers, seeking a primary or secondary residence that is almost turnkey, with strong patrimonial value and a preserved, peaceful, and inspiring setting.

Designed by a French architect in close collaboration with the French Heritage Authorities (*Architectes des Bâtiments de France*), the project fully respects the site's architectural and historical identity. The approved development provides for the creation of four exceptional apartments, each occupying an entire floor and benefiting from generous living areas: * Garden level: 4-room apartment of 139.86 sq.m with private garden * First floor: 5-room apartment of 204.60 sq.m with terrace * Second floor: 5-room apartment of 196.33 sq.m with terrace * Attic level: 3-room apartment of 118.55 sq.m with terrace Each residence will benefit from private cellars, storage facilities, dedicated parking spaces, and a shared bicycle storage room. The completed architectural ensemble will create a harmonious estate where heritage and contemporary living meet with elegance. The Roman tower, remarkable roofs, chimneys, staircases, and listed historical features give the property a rare and authentic character. This unique property offers several possibilities: a prestigious private residence, a heritage enhancement project, or a high-end residential development in one of the most sought-after locations in the Pays de Gex. An exceptional opportunity for lovers of historic properties, discerning investors, and heritage enthusiasts wishing to bring an ambitious real estate project to life in a setting steeped in history. The granted building permit and the extensive studies already completed provide developers and investors with an immediately actionable project, offering significant time savings on both administrative and heritage approval processes.

The estate includes a castle, three converted outbuildings, a reception hall, an outdoor swimming pool, and a chapel. The entire estate is now organized for hosting weddings, family stays, and private events. The accommodation capacity is sixteen rooms, with a total living area of 960 m². The buildings are situated within a 25-hectare park, where the walking paths lined with streams reveal the natural richness of valleys, woods, and ponds.

Castle Aubigny-sur-Nère (18)

Ref.4341: Beautiful property for sale in the french Centre area. On the borders of the Sologne and Pays-Fort Sancerrois regions, in the department of Cher, stands the silhouette of this beautiful 19th-century masterpiece. Strategically located in the centre of France, it is within easy reach of the capital (185 km), the first ski resorts (Clermont-Ferrand, 230 km) and Switzerland (Geneva, 410 km). More locally, towns such as Aubigny sur Nère have all the shops and services you need. The town also has a bread depot. The pleasant town of Aubigny sur Nère boasts a rich historical past, as evidenced by its castle, which earned it the name of ‘City of the Stuarts’. It was in 1421, following a Franco-Scottish victory at the Battle of Baugé, that the Dauphin, the future King Charles VII, donated the seigneury of Aubigny to Lord John Stuart of Darnley to thank him for lending him a helping hand. Later, his descendant Robert Stuart built the castle that bears his name, which today houses the Auld Alliance Interpretation Centre. This handsome castle, with its imposing stance, reveals living spaces that are human in scale and easy to use. Facing north-south, it comprises a central body built of brick and dressed stone chainwork topped with a slate gable roof, flanked on either side by two symmetrical pavilions of the same style. With almost 900 sqm of living space, the castle comprises two stories over a basement, with an attic that can be converted as follows: Ground floor: a vast hallway of approx. 60 sqm with 3.8 m (9.9 ft) high ceilings leads to a dining room with a fireplace to the east, followed by a lovely, luminous kitchen. To the north is a study and to the west, a billiards room and a lounge. A dressing room, wc and two stairwells (main and secondary) complete this first level. On the first floor, a long corridor leads to 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms or shower rooms, some with wc. Attic above. Full basement with games room, fitness room, cinema room, boiler room, laundry room, swimming pool room, woodshed and storage space. The outbuildings: To the south-east of the château, with private access, a house of around 300 m² offers interesting potential. Now divided into 3 dwellings, it is currently being renovated: A first flat on the ground floor with a large living room, utility room and bathroom. A second flat on two levels with a living room with open-plan kitchen, utility room and toilet on the ground floor, and 4 bedrooms, a bathroom and toilet on the first floor. A third and final flat on the first floor with a living room and open-plan kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a shower room with toilet. To the north is a large hangar of approx. 300 m² used as a garage, which could also be used for other projects. Finally, to the east, an 11x5 m heated chlorine swimming pool with a pleasant pool house equipped with a kitchenette/bar, sanitary facilities and a terrace promises pleasant moments of relaxation. In a quiet, discreet setting, in the heart of 32 acres of grounds, the château enjoys a dominant position with uninterrupted views over the countryside. To the south of the chateau is a beautiful English-style parkland, perfectly maintained and planted with numerous trees of varying species. To the north, a forest has been converted into a racetrack and a young plantation of 1,000 vines completes this homogeneous ensemble. All of this forms a natural ring around the château, separating it from the neighbouring cereal crops and meadows and giving it all the privacy expected of such a residence.

Castle Les Epesses (85)

Ref 4864: Stunning château and outbuildings for sale in the Vendée The château is situated in the Vendée bocage, in the eastern part of the department, in a hilly region renowned for its unspoilt rural landscapes, featuring hedgerows, meadows and small woods. It occupies a strategic location, at the junction of the Vendée, Maine-et-Loire and Deux-Sèvres departments. The flagship tourist attraction of Puy du Fou, which attracts over 4 million visitors a year, is less than 20 kilometres away. This part of the Vendée’s ‘haut-bocage’ has seen growing interest in its heritage over the past twenty years, thanks in particular to the cultural tourism generated by Puy du Fou and the search for character properties offering accommodation potential. A typical small town is located approximately 2 kilometres away. This town has a surprisingly dense commercial network for a municipality of around 5,500 inhabitants. The property is in a quiet location with no immediate neighbours. The approach to the estate is a sight to behold. Once you pass through a beautiful wrought-iron gate, guarded by a statue, the path winds its way between rhododendron beds and majestic, centuries-old trees. At the top of the hill, you reach the château. Set on a hilltop, it displays perfect neo-medieval symmetry. It is organised around a rectangular main building flanked by four hexagonal towers at the corners. The fortress-like effect is now accentuated by the lower roofs, which were once high, slate-covered hipped roofs. Inside, the château was renovated some thirty years ago. Imposing neo-Gothic panelling in light oak has been fitted throughout the rooms. From the large windows, there are unobstructed views of the grounds, the ponds and the surrounding countryside. The rooms are spacious and very light. The ground floor opens onto a spacious, double-height entrance hall, showcasing an elegant staircase in light wood. This level comprises a living room with a fireplace, a dining room also featuring a fireplace, a library with a fireplace, as well as a kitchen and its utility room. Each of the towers houses a characterful room, offering additional spaces full of charm. This level also features a guest toilet, an additional room that can be fitted out as required, and the start of a second staircase leading to the upper floors. On the first floor, a spacious landing running the length of the floor, featuring a sitting room, a fireplace and remarkable stained-glass windows, leads to all the rooms. This level comprises a spacious bedroom with its own bathroom and toilet, a second large bedroom with a fireplace and its own bathroom, as well as a very large bedroom which also has its own bathroom and toilet. It also features a more intimate bedroom with its own shower room and toilet, another bedroom with a fireplace, a separate toilet, and a room on a half-level, accessible via the second staircase, which serves as a cloakroom and storage area for staff. The second floor comprises a spacious open-plan area that can be fitted out to suit the needs and plans of its future occupants. Featuring a concrete slab floor, high ceilings beneath a steel roof structure and a slate roof, this space offers particularly attractive potential for development. A full basement, accessible from both inside and outside, completes the property. The property features numerous outbuildings, including seven self-contained dwellings. A/ 5 self-contained dwellings (former stables) To the right of the château stands a long building whose architecture blends perfectly with that of the main house. Formerly stables, with a large entrance porch running through them, this complex now comprises five apartments. Each comprises a kitchen, a living room, a toilet, two or three bedrooms, and one or more bathrooms or shower rooms. Renovation work is required, particularly regarding the door and window frames. At the far end of the building, a smaller dwelling offers interesting potential for restoration and requires a complete refurbishment. B/ A detached house of approximately 81 m² completes this complex (property 6). C/ An elegant 19th-century-style caretaker’s house, situated at the entrance to the property, benefits from a recently replaced roof and a modern drainage system (property 7). D/ A charming chapel, in good overall condition, retains a beautiful stone vault and distinctive stained-glass windows. Several other outbuildings enhance the estate: a utility room, a wash house, a greenhouse, a storage building and a covered courtyard. Set in the tranquillity of an estate spanning over 11 hectares, the park harmoniously unfolds a series of carefully composed landscape views. Within this unspoilt natural setting, wooded areas, vast meadows and wooded zones follow one another. The estate comprises around 1.5 hectares of woodland and nearly 9 hectares of open meadows, offering a sense of space and breathing room. The remarkable species of trees that dot the park bear witness to its history and character: majestic Lebanese cedars, sumptuous purple beeches, monkey puzzle trees… Two ponds enhance this natural setting, whilst a river runs through the property. There is also the option to purchase an additional property situated at the rear of the outbuildings, comprising various farm buildings in need of renovation, a residential house, land and a private driveway, covering a total area of 1 hectare, 61 ares and 32 centiares.
