It is topped with a high hipped roof. The tower has three levels, the last of which is illuminated by a hanging dormer window, surmounted by a triangular pediment. On each side, but oriented differently, are two wings. Their roofs, in the Mansard style, combining tiles and slates, indicate that these parts are older. The exteriors were renovated a few years ago, as were some of the roofs. The castle rises on two main levels (excluding the attic). The ground floor includes the main living rooms (three lounges, a dining room), a technical area with the kitchen, pantry, laundry room, and a sleeping area with a bedroom and a bathroom. The first floor has 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The bedrooms are comfortable and warm, mostly with a washbasin. A staircase provides access to the unconverted attic. Several dependencies complement this property. On the right of the Castle, a long building was constructed in the early 20th century, which now houses the caretaker's apartment, divided into a living room, kitchen, and three bedrooms on two levels. Then, a relaxation area with a large living room on the garden level and two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Finally, there is an old saddlery. The land consists of a 28-hectare forest massif, mainly populated by cedars undergoing conversion to regular coppice, managed under a Simple Management Plan (PSG). The rest of the property includes a leisure park. EPC: F/E Price HAI: €695,000 (net seller price: €660,000 - fees of 5.3% including VAT borne by the purchaser).

In the 19th century, the château was enhanced with major architectural features: a double-revolution grand staircase, a Palladian-style vestibule, and gardens designed by the architect Lalos. Constructed in polychrome brick typical of the region, the building captivates with its symmetrical façade crowned by a triangular pediment. Its circular towers blend French classicism with influences from Northern Europe, giving the ensemble a distinctive architectural identity. Inside, the château offers generous living and reception spaces. It includes six bedrooms and suites, each with its own bathroom, adorned with 18th‑century decorative elements. The reception rooms—spacious salons, an Italian-inspired dining room, and an office with period woodwork—provide impressive volumes.

Ref.4798 : Medieval castle and 16th-C. noble dwelling, listed as a Historic Monument, with outbuildings and 8.22 acres in Anjou Set in a peaceful setting in the heart of the Layon Valley, this remarkable medieval castle forms part of a landscape typical of southern Anjou, where vineyards and valleys intertwine. Situated between the old village and the River Layon, it enjoys a location that is both central and secluded, reflecting the pivotal role it once played in the local community. Close to the business hubs of Angers and Cholet, and within easy reach of Saumur, the property offers excellent accessibility whilst retaining the charm of a preserved rural setting. The Layon Valley, renowned for its landscapes and vineyards, offers a sought-after lifestyle, ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the heritage of the Anjou region. The numerous surrounding vineyards contribute to the region’s economic and cultural vitality, whilst the paths and roads criss-crossing the hillsides invite you to go for a stroll. A few shops and services are within walking distance (bar-restaurant, nurses’ practice, winegrowers), and the nearest amenities are located about ten minutes away in a small neighbouring town. The property now offers an interesting heritage base, suitable for a residential or development project, in an area appreciated for its relaxed lifestyle and authenticity. All that remains of the medieval castle, dating from the 12th and 15th centuries, is an imposing square keep overlooking the valley and the ruins of its original seigneurial layout. The main tower was built on a four-storey plan with a slate roof and features spacious rooms whose opulent furnishings for the time suggest that powerful lords once resided here.

In Berry, a spectacular restored fortified castle, with its hotel-level amenities. The iconic silhouette of the castle, with its tall towers and vast roofs, seems to spring from the landscape. The whole structure was built in the 15th century. Originally, the castle had 14 towers and a keep, making it one of the main fortresses in the region. During the Wars of Religion, it changed hands between Protestant families. By order of Richelieu, it was partially dismantled to weaken the Huguenot stronghold. Today, seven towers still remain. Deeply restored in 1850, on the advice of the famous architect Viollet-le-Duc, the castle has undergone a complete and very careful rehabilitation over the past thirty years. Several of its towers and even the keep retain original frameworks, which is remarkable given the transformations that occurred over the centuries. All walls are made of rough stone coated to show the stone. The facade of the keep and the crenellated parts of the entrance gate towers are made of cut stone. The keep, the living quarters, and four of the seven towers are topped with high slate roofs, with steep slopes. The other towers have flat roofs concealed by a crown of crenellations. A little away from the building, outbuildings are grouped around several courtyards. The park descends towards the river. The swimming pool has been set up on a grassy terrace, and the tennis court is discreetly sheltered behind an outbuilding. The commanding position of the estate offers an extensive view of the surrounding landscape.This description has been automatically translated from French.

EXCLUSIVE. Just 45 minutes from Paris, in the Vexin Regional Natural Park, on the border between the Val d'Oise and Yvelines departments, this 17th-century château sits on a preserved estate of over 23 hectares and includes numerous outbuildings, offering an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking authenticity. The property is cohesive and adaptable, particularly well-suited to heritage, residential, tourism, or business projects. The château, spanning approximately 800 square meters, is spread over three levels, each boasting impressive ceiling heights of nearly 4 meters and numerous windows that provide exceptional natural light, rarely seen in buildings of this size. The ashlar façade combined with brickwork and the Mansard roof are characteristic of the 17th and 18th centuries. Bathed in light thanks to its four-way orientation (primarily northwest and southeast), the château offers idyllic views of the estate's park, its beautiful working fountain, the pond, the swimming pool, and, in the distance, the bridle paths. The Seraincourt estate belonged to Jean de Valliquerville, and the château hosted Ninon de Lenclos, a writer and celebrated courtesan at the court of Louis XIV, as well as gatherings of numerous writers and intellectuals of the 17th and 18th centuries. At the end of the 17th century, it was sold and remodeled for the Choppin family, lords of Seraincourt. It remained in the family for over 200 years before becoming the former home of Pola Negri, a silent film actress of the early 20th century and a friend of Charlie Chaplin. Lightning struck the château in 2012, causing a fire and significant damage. Under the supervision of an architect from the French National Heritage Service, the roof, framework, ceilings, and windows and frames of the second floor were restored, and the château was made watertight. Today, it awaits renovation and interior design according to the intended use of its future owner. Many exceptional features from different periods remain: parquet floors (Versailles and herringbone), Burgundy stone, marble, terracotta tiles, moldings, woodwork, fireplaces, and more. While maintaining a human scale, like a beautiful, light-filled bourgeois residence, the château offers very spacious rooms. On the ground floor, there is a large entrance hall, a double living room, a library, two dining rooms, a kitchen, a serving hatch, and a separate toilet. On the first floor, a beautiful wooden staircase leads to five or six bedrooms, a dressing room, two bathrooms, and a separate toilet. The second floor opens onto a large room that can accommodate up to five bedrooms, and two more are located in the top-floor tower. In the basement, two large cellars are accessible via the service staircase, which also serves the upper floors. The castle is accompanied by a set of outbuildings in very good condition and with various well-utilized activities: The former barn houses a 200m2 reception room (with a catering kitchen and a sanitary block with 3 toilets) extended by a 100m2 courtyard and a 100m2 covered area, allowing the organization of unique events. The former hunting lodge of over 300m2, now a fully renovated and decorated gîte, can accommodate 24 people (8 bedrooms and one family room, each with its own shower room and WC) with a living/dining room and a kitchen area on the ground floor allowing for the service of breakfasts and the table d'hôtes. The owner's stable, spanning over 350m2, houses an animal shelter which manages the stable's upkeep. It comprises 24 stalls, including 6 outdoor stalls, a lunge ring, a competition arena with a perfectly level and draining surface, and staff accommodation. Finally, the current owner resides in a beautiful farmhouse (310m2 of living space and over 500m2 of total floor area) comprising, on the ground floor, former stables housing various garages and storage areas.
