Listed castle Chaumont (52)

Ref.4464 : French listed château for sale in Haute-Marne department. This chateau, a major building in the region, is located in Haute-Marne (52), between Champagne and Lorraine, in a rural village in the heart of the Sueurre valley, dominated by two wooded hills. From the outside, a trained eye will notice the rusticated stone gateway, where the spires of the old drawbridge are embedded. This gateway is adorned with a sculpted stone facade characteristic of the second French Renaissance. Only the pedestrian entrance is used today, while the main entrance is via the main gate through the park. Just 500 metres outside the village, there is a supermarket for everyday needs, while the town of Chaumont, with its many shops and services, can be reached in 20 minutes (24 km). The A5 motorway is half an hour away, making it possible to reach Paris in 3 hours. The nearest airports are Strasbourg (230 km), Basel-Mulhouse (250 km) and Lyon (325 km). Ideally located on the route of the abbeys and châteaux of Haute-Marne, the château offers privileged access to renowned historic sites such as the Abbaye de la Crête and the Abbaye des Sept Fontaines. Nearby, you can enjoy a 9-hole golf course at Arc-en-Barrois (48 km) and several horse-riding centres, the nearest being 15 km away. There are also plenty of tourist attractions in the surrounding area, including the Domaine des Trois Forêts (Center Parcs), Colombey-les-Deux-Églises with La Boisserie, the family home of General de Gaulle, and the Charles de Gaulle Memorial. The village's main street passes in front of the gatehouse, without generating any noise pollution, as the ground floor rooms have double windows, as was customary under Louis XV, and the bedrooms overlook the courtyard of honour, on the parkland side. Its sober defensive facade is not eye-catching, but it supports a garden level that is entirely vaulted with 16th-century ribbed ceilings. The ornamentation is a moving testimony to the Louis XV period. Add to this the superimposition of different architectural styles, from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, the century of industry, and you have a plunge into the strata of history that is sure to whet your curiosity. The gatehouse overlooking the road is no longer used. Today, the entrance is via the gravelled main courtyard overlooking the park. The façade on the courtyard side has just been professionally refurbished, adding even more splendour to this vast château with its 1,400sqm of living space. The ground floor and 1st floor offer around 740sqm of living space each, with ceiling heights of around 4.5 metres. On the ground floor, you enter through the main door into the interior of the porter's house. You will notice a mosaic with gold tesserae on the ceiling and frescoes of sea anchors. To the left is a vestibule with the start of the 1st Empire wooden grand staircase leading to the 1st floor. Following on from the vestibule is the VIP dining room, a beautiful noble space (approx. 55 sqm) with natural wood panelling, an imposing Louis XV Rococo fireplace and fine china cabinets. The ceiling features a gypsum Maltese cross. Further on, a vaulted living room with ribbed ceilings highlights an architectural feature characteristic of the Middle Ages. The parquet floors are herringbone, as throughout the château. A double door gives access to the crockery room with its stone and zinc sink. This vaulted room, now used as a reception room, leads to the 18th-century entrance hall with its white Lorraine stone staircase and wrought-iron banister by Jean Lamour, then on to the large Louis XV drawing room in the left wing. Everything here is wood panelled and richly decorated, like the frescoes of horns of plenty. There is also a beautiful Louis XV Rococo-style fireplace and double windows. The Grand Salon is extended by another salon, known as the ‘Bird Salon’, entirely panelled in Louis XV style and adorned with a white marble Rocaille fireplace. It is decorated with Restoration period furniture and a French billiard table (Charles X). The firebacks all bear the coat of arms of Guillaume Tavernier de Boullonge, treasurer of Louis XV's extraordinary war department, who had the château rebuilt in 1766. The south tower houses a toilet and a linen room with a fireplace under its barrel vault (formerly the castle chapel). From the gateway, in the centre of the main courtyard, a corridor decorated with hunting trophies leads off to the right to a monumental kitchen topped by a ribbed vault. The kitchen is the size of the château. Everything is still as it was in the 16th and 17th centuries: vegetable garden, cast-iron oven, copper fountain, collection of copperware and porcelain and, more recently, the labels of the wines that were served. On the right, as you leave the kitchen, there is a notice board used to call the servants. Once you have passed the staff dining room (designed to seat 15 people), which adjoins the kitchen, you will come to a surprisingly bright white room. This dairy, all carved stone, had to be spotlessly clean. It is richly decorated with a collection of copper and pewter (*). Further on, you come to the square north tower housing a vaulted room (here, as in the kitchen, the main dining room and the adjoining drawing room, in the old medieval main building) that served as a guard room. From here, a stone spiral staircase leads to the 1st floor. The right wing features a series of lounges on the ground floor, a summer kitchen and a toilet, accessed via an exterior door leading to the courtyard of the outbuildings. In the left wing, after passing through the entrance protected by a beautiful marquise, you will discover Napoleon's bedroom upstairs. Legend has it that he spent a night here! This generously sized room has Louis XV panelling and an alcove that blend harmoniously with the furniture, fireplace and trumeau from the First Empire. This was the bedroom of Duke Decrès. A warm note emanates from the adjoining study, thanks to a pale yellow ‘bee’ wallpaper. The atmosphere here is almost ‘intimate’, despite the weight of the history it contains. It is conceivable that the maritime aspect of the Egyptian campaign was developed in this room.... Behind the alcove is a toilet and a hidden staircase leading to a servant's bedroom on the mezzanine floor. Still on the first floor, a bathroom opens onto a long corridor that leads to the Duke's bedroom, his study and a landing that opens onto a library. The Duke Decrès's sea charts add a touch of the exotic to this place dedicated to travel and exploration. You can continue your exploration by taking the corridor leading from the library to the bedroom and sitting room of the Duke of Albufera. The first floor of the south tower has two bedrooms, one with fine Louis XV panelling and an alcove, a bathroom and a toilet. Further on, on the landing of the grand staircase leading to the main entrance, you will come across an imposing studded door, sheathed in leather, which marks the passageway to the flats of Duchesse Decrès. A flat overlooking the park has been entirely dedicated to her, with a complete suite: bedroom with Louis XV panelling and white marble rocaille fireplace, back door to a dressing room (formerly a hidden passageway), study with fireplace, bathroom with wc, sitting room with Louis XV panelling and rocaille fireplace, then a panelled bedroom opening onto a small bathroom. In this intimate space, on the scale of the place, the Louis XV panelling and a back door lend themselves to the play of romantic intrigue. The same cannot be said of the flats of the Marquis de Bonnevilliers, located in the right wing. Comprising a large drawing room and a bedroom followed by a bathroom with toilet in the gallery, this suite has a more masculine feel. Other rooms, notably in the towers and on the ground floor to the north, including a summer kitchen, make up almost the entire residence. We'll stop here to leave a little more room for surprise when you discover all the rooms in this castle, of which there are more than 35. You'll need just a few minutes to find your way around this exceptional residence, which is steeped in history both large and small, with anecdotes sure to crop up and the invisible people, the servants, whose moving traces can be found in the attic.... * Furniture is not included in the sale. The outbuildings include: a bakery, a laundry room, a large barn, two stables, a tack room, an upstairs service flat, a coach house, a workshop, a cow shed, a laundry room, a hen house and a dovecote. The ceilings in the stable are recent, but the rest of the rooms are in original condition. The wood-fired boiler in the stables, overhauled in 2021, will need to be relaunched. The caretaker's cottage, built over vaulted cellars, comprises a living room with kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs. It is heated by an oil-fired boiler and has a vegetable garden with a tool shed and a kennel. At the southern end of the estate is the imposing main gate, recently restored. Let the gentle tinkling of the River Sueurre, which runs through the estate, be your guide as you enter the grounds. Following a pleasant path through the undergrowth, known as the ‘3 springs’, you will cross three bridges spanning several branches of the river. On the right is a pond with still, dark waters, contrasting with the quivering of a small waterfall downstream. An ancient gazebo, witness to a past that was also glorious, stands next to an old fishpond that was once poisoned. As you walk up the bridle path towards the château, the coolness of the tall trees will make you forget the heatwave for a moment. Others won't mind, like the squealing children who can splash about and play on the beach set up for them on the banks of the Sueurre. Further on, an ancient semi-circular open-air theatre occupies the site of the Renaissance garden bordered by two turrets and a rose garden. A dovecote, as straight as an I, acts as a mineral punctuation mark in a planted environment. The English-style park features woods (around 1.5 hectares), meadows, rivers and springs. It is enclosed by a stone wall and a wire fence. Overlooking the park, with the façade of the château in the background, are the remains of an orangery built in 1830. A sundial sits in the middle of the main courtyard. Facing the park designed in 1855 for Princess Mathilde, the estate once stretched as far as the forest, which can be seen in the distance. Copses of trees line either side of a gently sloping lawn, extended by pastoral meadows. There is not a single modern-day scar to disturb this unchanging landscape, worthy of a posthumous William Turner painting. From all the rooms overlooking the south-east façade, you'll be swept away by the view and a delightfully romantic atmosphere, filled with reveries and autumnal dawns. The total surface area of the property is 11.70 acres (4ha 73a 60ca).

Castle Chalons-en-champagne (51)

Ref. 4306: Magnificent listed Chateau in Champagne, for sale This magnificent château is located just a few kilometers from Châlons en Champagne, in the Marne department, one of the four departments that make up the Champagne-Ardennes region. A region world-famous for its most prestigious wine, champagne! Located in a small commune of 380 inhabitants, right next to the village church. In practical terms, it's just 2 km from all the shops and services you need for everyday life. For children, there's a school bus service just outside the château. And to reach Paris by train, the station is 17 km away. XVIIth & XVIIIth century château built on the site of an ancient seigniorial house whose earliest records date back to 1264. With the evolution of time, lifestyle and taste, it has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries. In 1608, Hugues MATHE, Receiver General of Finances for the Champagne region, acquired the château and carried out major works, including the two dovecotes in the courtyard and the renovation of the main building. In 1650, he commissioned the construction of a moat around the château, and had a canal built to divert water from the nearby river. The castle's numerous drawbridges were built at this time. Hugues MATHE organized the park in parallel, calling on Jean Debar, a pupil of the talented André Le Nôtre, to design his formal gardens. In 1735, the château was purchased by François Jean-Marie MOREL, President of the Presidial Court of Châlons-en-Champagne, who restored the building from top to bottom. This date is engraved on the lintel above the entrance door. He restored the facades 'à la moderne', then added two small wings set at right-angles. Later, he carried out extensive work on the château's bridge and entrance gate. He also embellished the gardens with elegant flowerbeds, bridges and water mirrors, all embellished with attractive sculptures. Later, as a result of family alliances, the château passed into the hands of the Comtes Dubois de Riocour family. Built of chalk stone and topped with an Irish purplish slate roof, the château stands at the center of a large rectangular terre-plein surrounded by water. A footbridge spanning the moat provides access to the château's courtyard. A magnificent main gate stands at the entrance to the bridge. On either side are two two-storey square pavilions, formerly dovecotes. The château has a classic east-west orientation, ensuring maximum sunlight. The gardens are to the east and the courtyard to the west. The building is composed of a central body flanked by two wings, each of which has three storeys. Two lower, two-storey wings are attached symmetrically. These two wings are extended by two single-storey buildings framing the courtyard. This assembly creates an interesting interplay of roofs. The roofs of the two end wings are long-sloped and rise as high as the more compact roofs of the main building. Eight finials crown the building. To the north, a final two-storey extension breaks the symmetry of the château. And, at the end of this extension, a heat pump-heated swimming pool (4 x 10 meters) (64 cubic meters of water). The château and northern extension total 1,535 sqm, with a further 210 sqm of accessible undeveloped attic space and 128 sqm of non-accessible attic space in the north and south pavilions. The 595 sqm first floor is composed as follows: A main entrance with a magnificent double spiral staircase in wood and wrought-iron banisters. The vestibule's cabochon tiled floor is almost three hundred years old. On either side of this entrance are 6 large salons with wood panelling and parquet flooring in a variety of patterns (Versailles, herringbone, bâton rompu, mosaic...). The doors feature elaborate bronze fittings. They feature the Counts De Riocourt family coat of arms in the form of a crown surmounted by nine balls indicating their rank of nobility. A large, fully-equipped kitchen, 4 toilets including 2 with disabled access, numerous storerooms and anterooms. The extension comprises a large private apartment with fitted kitchen, 1 bathroom, 2 wc, 4 bedrooms, 2 offices and a laundry area. There's also a seminar area with its own independent staircase, comprising two training rooms and a breakout room. A large garage. -North pigeon house of approx. 135 sqm on three levels: fully-equipped gîte comprising living room/kitchen, two bedrooms, two shower rooms with wc. -The south dovecote is unfinished, but with some renovation work a second 135 sqm gîte could be created. The grounds cover 42 acres, divided between the courtyard, the moat, the formal garden, which the current owners are gradually redesigning to reflect Le Nôtre's original work, and the forest with its inviting paths. Water is everywhere, providing the romantic dimension sought after by the great castellan families of past centuries. The water features have a purely decorative function and contribute to the overall harmony of the design, reflecting the architecture of the château. A private parking lot near the big top and a very large parking lot with four plots for over 350 cars. The chateau is listed on the Inventaire supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques : The facades and roofs of the château, the two lower wings of the outbuildings and the two entrance pavilions; main entrance gate and gate 18s leading to the garden with its pillars; moat and bridges crossing it (cad. A 123, 125, 412): listed by order of 06/1990.

Castle Dirac (16)

Built in the 18th and 19th centuries, this characterful estate features a magnificent 500 m2 château flanked by two medieval towers. Accompanied by numerous outbuildings, it is set in 8 hectares of wooded grounds on the edge of a charming hamlet, close to the dynamic city center of Angoulême.Overlooking the Natura 2000-listed Échelle valley, its charm is apparent from the moment you arrive, crossing a stone footbridge over deep dry moats, at the height of a 12th-century tower covered in ivy. The hallway instantly offers a view of the promontory terrace, suspended above the moat and underground passages that run behind the building.In contrast to the imposing, timeless exterior, the interior of the château evokes a country house on a human scale. The current owners have undertaken a sensitive and respectful renovation in a refined style, allowing the history and patina of the place to shine through, in keeping with the aesthetic of their family business: Les Petites Emplettes. The interior design approach is to let volumes and textures express themselves, enriching them with natural materials and, above all, inviting light to flow through the large windows, capturing the surrounding nature at every moment. Raised on three levels, the ground floor mainly houses north-south living rooms bathed in light. This light is reflected on the white shellstone walls, punctuated by original doors painted in a timeless green. The eclectic floors combine hexagonal terracotta tiles, speckled checkerboard tiles from the 1950s, and wide wooden floorboards.

The top level, with exposed beams, offers a panoramic view of the picturesque surrounding landscape.To the west of the château, a U-shaped farmhouse houses more than 1,500 m2 of outbuildings. These buildings, witnesses to the rural activity of yesteryear, include barns, dwellings, workshops, and stables, some of which have been renovated. On one side of the green courtyard, a spectacularly spacious barn has been converted into a multipurpose showroom and guinguette, spread over three levels and 300 m2. A magnificent, fully restored wooden frame blends harmoniously with the freshly repointed stone walls, sanded concrete floor, and contemporary steel joinery.Opposite, an outbuilding has been converted into a cottage-style gîte.

Castle Mexico City (Mexico)

English-Style Residence on Boulevard de los Virreyes Located in the heart of Lomas de Chapultepec on the iconic Boulevard de los Virreyes—one of the most exclusive avenues in Mexico—this property, known as Casa Downton, evokes the charm of medieval castles built during England’s Tudor dynasty. Spread across five levels and offering 1,142 square meters of construction in reinforced concrete and brick, the residence is defined by its spaciousness, functional layout, and privileged setting within the diplomatic district, with 24-hour municipal surveillance. High- quality materials underscore its architectural character and durability, while interior finishes in solid pine wood, classic plank flooring, built-in desks and closets, well-preserved wallpaper, and an imposing stained-glass window reflect timeless European elegance. The 516.92 square meter lot includes a flat garden that extends into protected federal land with independent access, a service hut for events and banquets, and a bathroom for guests. The covered garage accommodates up to four cars, with additional space inside the property for six more—ten spaces in total. Despite its location on one of the best- connected avenues in western Mexico City, the garden and outdoor dining terrace offer total tranquility, open skies, and verdant views reminiscent of English suburbs. A secondary formal entrance framed in hand-carved quarry stone and artisanal stained glass opens into a gracious foyer with imperial-style twin staircases. This leads to the main living area, which includes a formal double parlor, fireplace, tea or game area, and a dining room seating over 24 guests, discreetly connected to the kitchen through a hidden pantry. The kitchen features a cozy breakfast nook with garden views, a walk-in pantry, and direct access to the service areas. Also on this floor are a guest powder room and a multi-purpose underground pantry. Half a level below, a large library area includes a fireplace, sitting area, private office, and direct access to the outdoor terrace. The second floor features an expansive sitting room with kitchenette, bar, dining area, TV lounge, and private office, along with plumbing installations for an additional bathroom—perfect for transforming this space into a fully independent guest apartment. The third level houses four bedrooms. Two share a full bathroom, while the primary suite features two independent bathrooms—one with a bathtub—a spacious walk-in closet, fireplace, and enough room for a private sitting area and/or private office. This floor also includes an open office area with access to a charming private terrace. The home offers two staff bedrooms with two full bathrooms, a separate room for drivers, service staircases throughout, and four storage rooms—two interior and two on the rooftop. Lastly, a separate entrance from the garage leads to the basement level, which includes a wine cellar, full bathroom, and a generous open space ready to be converted into a game room or private retreat. This exceptional residence offers classic character, generous living space, and a unique opportunity to live surrounded by nature in one of Mexico City’s most distinguished and secure neighborhoods.
