Ref.4607 : In the Cher, a beautiful noble dwelling with outbuildings and swimming pool Set in the authentic, unspoilt Boischaut Sud region of the Cher department, this restored farmhouse offers a peaceful, refined setting. Surrounded by the emblematic landscapes of the Champagne Berrichonne region, with its succession of farm fields and verdant hedged farmland, the property embodies the harmony between nature and rural tradition. Sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is nevertheless ideally located, less than 5 kilometres from all the essential amenities: shops, services and a SNCF train station that takes you to Paris in just 2 hours 30. A rare combination of bucolic tranquillity and accessibility. The region offers a multitude of outdoor activities for nature lovers and sports enthusiasts. Lake Sidiailles, around twenty kilometres away, is a must for swimming, paddle-boarding, canoeing and tree-climbing in an enchanting natural setting. When it comes to heritage, the local cultural wealth is just as remarkable. The town of Saint-Amand-Montrond captivates with its medieval quarter, its impressive fort and its famous Cité de l'Or. Nearby, the Château de Meillant, a jewel of flamboyant Gothic architecture, marvels at its sumptuous gardens and refined interiors. Noirlac Abbey, a masterpiece of Cistercian art, is an invitation to contemplate and discover. Finally, the Route Jacques Cœur, a veritable Ariadne's thread of Berrichon heritage, makes it easy to explore the treasures of this exceptional region. The complex comprises a main house flanked by two single-storey pavilions. Two long wings of outbuildings, set at right angles to each other, form a charming inner courtyard, each topped by a square tower, accentuating the symmetry and character of the site. The main house, built of rendered stone with a slate gable roof, faces north-west to south-east. Spanning two stories and topped by an attic, it spans around 250 sqm of living space divided into five bays, offering a fine architectural presence. It comprises : On the ground floor, the main dwelling features an entrance hall served by a central staircase. Opposite, a billiards room leads on one side to a luminous lounge, and on the other to a comfortable bedroom with its own shower room and toilet. The west pavilion houses three bedrooms, one of which opens directly onto the terrace adjoining the swimming pool, and a shower room with WC, ideal for welcoming family or guests in a separate space. The east pavilion features a fully-equipped fitted kitchen, extended by a functional utility room. An adjoining study provides access to a remarkable private chapel, meticulously restored to give the estate a touch of spirituality and exception. Upstairs in the manor house are three comfortable bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room with toilet. A library completes this level, providing a peaceful space for reading or working. There is a vast attic above, offering additional potential for conversion. The generous outbuildings offer remarkable development potential. With a little work, they could easily be used to double the living space, opening up the possibility of numerous residential or recreational projects. The west wing, which is set back at right angles, contains former stables, cowsheds and an old chicken coop, now used as storage space. One of the rooms houses the swimming pool equipment room. Continuing on, a covered porch provides parking for vehicles, followed by a tower with a dirt floor that can be reinvented as required. The opposite building houses the boiler room, a vast barn and a second pavilion, similar in every respect to the previous one, creating a beautiful symmetry throughout the common areas. The carefully designed grounds form a real green setting around the residence. A veritable green belt, it almost makes you forget how close the neighbouring farm is. A wide variety of ornamental and fruit trees, including majestic cedars, maples, quince, apple and pear trees, give elegant rhythm to the landscape as the seasons change. A charming bower, forming a sort of plant cloister, shelters a delicate fountain. This shady corner, with its natural coolness, is a peaceful place to relax and daydream. A water feature enhances this pleasant park of more than 5 acres. Finally, there's a generously sized swimming pool (12 x 5 m). It is salt-treated and heated by a heat pump. The liner will be replaced around 2021, reflecting the rigorous maintenance carried out. Cabinet LE NAIL – Loiret - Sologne – M.

Ref.4845 : In the Heart of the Berry Region, a 15th–17th C. Château with Park, Moat and Outbuildings Just three hours from Paris by motorway, southern Boischaut is a region that combines the gently rolling plains of the Paris Basin with the foothills of the Massif Central, which feature a more rugged terrain. This natural region, covering the southern parts of the Indre and Cher departments—that is, the former province of Berry—is primarily devoted to cattle farming. The landscapes here are therefore green and often dotted with hedgerows, possessing a discreet yet enduring charm. It is “Le Berry, which takes hold of you and never lets you go” as described by George Sand, a native of the region. The area is ideally situated in the centre of France, close to two major motorways: the A20 ‘L’Occitane’, linking Brussels and Paris to Toulouse on the one hand, and the A71 ‘L’Arverne’, providing access to Clermont-Ferrand and, beyond that, Montpellier from the capital. Chateaumeillant, La Châtre and Saint-Amand-Montrond, small towns full of character with a rich history, are located near the château. The first is known for its high-quality vineyards, the second lies at the heart of the ‘Pays de George Sand’, with its many events, and the third, dubbed the ‘City of Gold’ as it is France’s third-largest centre for gold jewellery production, is often associated with Noirlac Abbey, a marvel of Cistercian architecture situated nearby. Finally, for younger visitors, Sam Parc, also located in Saint-Amand Montrond, is one of the best amusement parks in the Centre region. Just a little further on, Bourges is a major city of art and history, making it a natural choice to become the European Capital of Culture in 2028. You’ll love strolling through its historic and shopping centre, between the Palais Jacques-Cœur, a masterpiece of Flamboyant Gothic architecture, and Saint-Etienne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the capital of the Berry region, Bourges is not just an open-air museum. The city lies at the heart of a vibrant economic region where the aerospace and defence industries are particularly well represented. The château is approached by way of a fixed bridge spanning the former moat, its entrance symbolically guarded by a tower. Beyond lies a splendid esplanade upon which the residence reveals itself as a classic 17th-century manor house adjoined by a remarkable medieval keep flanked by two towers, one of which contains a staircase turret. The manor itself rises over three storeys, including an attic level beneath a hipped roof clad in flat tiles and crowned with two lead finials along the ridge. At the north-eastern corner of the roof stands a purely decorative brick échauguette. The principal façades, oriented east to west, display elegant rows of windows adorned only with subtly projecting sills. On the eastern elevation, a remarkable wrought-iron and glass veranda inspired by the Art Nouveau style occupies the centre of the building. On this same façade, to the south, stands a neo-Gothic stair tower. To the north of the manor, a narrower and lower rectangular structure provides the connection between the northern tower and the keep. The northern tower, imposing in mass, rises over three levels beneath a conical roof. The keep itself is square in plan and surmounted by a pavilion roof clad in flat tiles, its ridges embellished with ornamental lead finials. At its south-western corner stands a staircase turret capped with a conical roof. Defensive openings remain visible at several points throughout the structure. Upon entering the manor house, one finds on the ground floor a through entrance hall leading, to the right, into a vast drawing room with fireplace, illuminated by windows opening onto both sides of the building. At the far end of the entrance hall lies access to the neo-Gothic stair tower, while to the left are the dining room, opening onto the veranda, and a small ancillary room serving as a secondary kitchen. Proceeding along the corridor and still to the right are a return staircase ascending to the upper floor, a lavatory, a small artist’s studio, and, beyond a few steps, a spacious kitchen with adjoining laundry room and pantry. This kitchen enjoys a terrace to the east and an exit onto the arrival esplanade to the west. The return staircase leads to the first floor, where a broad corridor gives access to four bedrooms, three with shower rooms and one with a bathroom. At approximately one-third of the corridor’s length stands a wooden staircase ascending to the attic floor, formerly used as servants’ quarters. At the second third, a landing provides access to an independent lavatory and to the neo-Gothic stair tower. Returning northwards, the corridor passes an independent lavatory featuring the remains of an archway, before narrowing as it enters the connecting building. It then opens onto a large bedroom with bathroom and continues towards the keep’s grand hall, an impressive room with generous ceiling height, illuminated to the north and south by stained-glass windows with window seats. A monumental fireplace bearing the arms of the Boissieu family, still in working order, lends great distinction to the space. A narrow passageway gives access to a charming study located within the northern tower. A short corridor then leads to the stair turret and up to the second floor of the keep, where one first encounters a long storage room, formerly the château’s fruit store, before entering a vast hall with fireplace and windows fitted with stone seats, currently used as a billiard room. The staircase continues upwards to magnificent attic spaces beneath a timber framework shaped like an inverted ship’s hull. Beneath the keep lie a former wine storehouse and a wine cellar. The outbuildings are, for the most part, grouped together in a large U-shaped complex, comprising a tack room, a shed, a stable used as a garage, a four-room flat (including three bedrooms) used as a guest house, a very large cowshed, a donkey stable and a number of small outbuildings. The property is in fairly good visible condition. In the grounds, there is a beautiful greenhouse-orangery that could be used as a reception room, in good visible condition. The grounds, covering a total area of 8.5 acres, are shaped like an isosceles triangle. The château and outbuildings are situated at the base of the triangle, whilst the park, criss-crossed by several beautiful avenues, occupies the rest. An interesting feature of the site is that the moats and water ditches form an enclosure separating an ‘inner park’ – an English-style garden, beautifully landscaped and well-maintained – from an ‘outer park’, which is more natural in character and features a pretty pond. A small bridge and a footbridge allow visitors to move from one area to the other. This layout lends the whole site a distinct romantic charm.
