Located in Southern Burgundy, only 1h20 from Lyon and 2h from Paris or Geneva, discover this magnificent residence steeped in history, offering a real journey through time from the 14th-15th century to the present day. Set in a fenced and landscaped park of approximately 2,000 m², this 14th-15th century seigniorial residence offers a breathtaking view of the town, in the heart of the Charolais region.
Once the property of the Sires de la Madeleine, who gave a neighbouring plot of land to the monks in 929 to build a priory, the current castle was built in 1353, as evidenced by the mullioned windows decorated with the accolades typical of this period. Sold as a national asset during the Revolution, it also housed the local faience factory, whose 1870 kiln still stands in the middle of a lush and carefully maintained park.
Remodeled over the centuries, this exceptional residence has preserved the characteristic elements of each era. You will discover a spiral staircase, ribbed vaults, real French ceilings, mullioned windows, as well as several fireplaces, two of which are monumental, notably in the former kitchen - now transformed into a unique living room - and in the reception room. The doors carved in napkin folds, the coat of arms of the Sires de la Madeleine and the chapel transformed into a boudoir add a historical touch. One of the two original towers remains on the south side of the house, whilst the attic of the top floor (more than 150 m² (1,615 sq ft) of convertible space) is topped by a spectacular frame in the shape of an inverted ship's hull and two jacobines.
With a total surface area of 344 m² spread over two levels, this historic residence offers 5 bedrooms, including a master suite with private bathroom, 2 other bathrooms, 3 toilets, a vast reception room, a study, a laundry room, a kitchen with annexe, a hallway, a boudoir, a TV room and a reading room, as well as a winter garden. Outside, you will enjoy a chalet with a swimming spa, a huge landscaped and enclosed garden with automatic watering and lighting, various areas dedicated to relaxation and rejuvenation as well as an ornamental pond with its huge Koi carp. In a dominant position, the garden offers a panoramic view, creating an enchanting setting for the residents.
Although not listed in the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques (ISHM) nor classified as a Monument Historique (MH), the various owners of this castle have preserved its authenticity and historical character while integrating modern comfort elements: town gas heating, cast iron radiators, bay window in the leisure room, double glazing, modern bathroom and equipped kitchen among others. In terms of building security, the complex is protected by a parametric alarm and a custom-made lightning rod. Everything has been done to preserve the majestic and elegant atmosphere of this place.
Ideally located, the castle offers remarkable accessibility. Only 1h20 from Lyon and 2h from Geneva by car, and 2h from Paris by TGV, you will benefit from the local shops while being within easy reach of a very green countryside.
The possibilities offered by this exceptional residence are immense. Whether you wish to live with your family in a preserved environment in the heart of the city, create a place of relaxation and reflection for overworked COMEX/CODIR members or simply start a bed and breakfast business combining prestige and authentic charm, everything is possible in this exceptional setting.
