Réf. 4740 : Charming 18th C. house for sale in Berry region The property is located at the heart of one of those Berry villages so dear to George Sand. It lies approximately 300 km from Paris, in the Indre département, more precisely in the southern Boischaut, a gently undulating bocage landscape. Châteauroux, the area’s principal town, is less than 30 minutes away, while all essential shops and day-to-day services are available locally. The region is known as the Land of George Sand, as it was her beloved homeland and an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The house itself may even have welcomed the author during her visits, as it once belonged to one of her close friends. Hard-working in winter, the region becomes decidedly festive in summer. Nohant, George Sand’s former residence, attracts more than 30,000 visitors each year, in addition to the 10,000 music lovers who attend the renowned Chopin Festival annually. The year 2026 will be marked by numerous cultural events celebrating the 150th anniversary of the author’s death. Yet it is not only literature that enchants visitors. The surrounding countryside is a perfect example of peaceful and picturesque rural France, ideal for walking, cycling or horse riding. It is, quite simply, a region where life is particularly enjoyable. Facing the street, the residence is set slightly back behind a low wall opened by a simple and elegant gate. Over two storeys, seven evenly aligned window openings per level lend the façade a dignified and harmonious appearance, beneath a hipped roof clad in local flat slate. This tasteful simplicity conceals a complex of buildings forming a substantial residence, whose true scale is only revealed upon entering the courtyard through the side gate. Arranged around this enclosed courtyard are, first, the main house at the rear, followed by a lower return wing at right angles, now entirely occupied by the cathedral-style kitchen. The rear of a former bread oven adjoins it, while at its northern end a building on a raised base—undoubtedly older—houses the guest accommodation. Opposite, a long building encloses the courtyard. In the absence of precise knowledge of its original function, it is referred to as the barn. The main house offers approximately 335 sqm of living space. On the ground floor of the main house, a sequence of interconnecting rooms comprises, in order, the panelled drawing room, the staircase hall, the dining room, the study, and a spacious bathroom. On the courtyard side, a corridor serves all of these rooms, in addition to a guest WC, and also provides access to the cathedral-style kitchen. This is extended by a room used as a pantry, utility room and boiler room, together with a fine wine cellar, both located in the basement of the guest house. On the first floor, a landing arranged as a sitting room provides access, on one side, to a spacious bedroom with dressing room, antechamber and shower room. On the other side, it leads to a self-contained studio comprising a kitchenette, a shower room and a small terrace. A corridor, symmetrical to that on the ground floor, extends into a gallery overlooking the generous volume of the cathedral-style kitchen. On the second floor, a charming, rustic landing leads to a large attic bedroom with its own bathroom. An adjoining attic space could, if desired, be converted to create an additional bedroom. Outbuildings : The two outbuildings offer generous volumes, the conversion of which into leisure areas has transformed the ensemble—main house and outbuildings—into a spacious and highly comfortable residence. The guest house comprises a single large room with a kitchenette, a shower room, and a mezzanine bedroom. This gîte offers approximately 38 sqm of living space. The barn includes: - an Orangery, a vast cathedral-style reception room of approximately 103 sqm, filled with natural light through large windows overlooking the garden and featuring a bar counter, a terrace, and a substantial fireplace—ideal for convivial evenings; - a wellness area with jacuzzi, hammam, and shower room with WC; - a superb 61 sqm cinema room, fitted with professional equipment, available as an optional purchase; - a storage room. The garden is a highly private haven, where carefully chosen plantings create a distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere. Palms, topiary shrubs, a pond, a narrow canal and a small pavilion—ideal as a charming tea house—coexist in perfect harmony. Behind the kitchen, a more intimate landscaped area serves both as an enclosed terrace and as a summer sitting room, providing a cool and pleasant retreat during the hottest days.

Tucked away in a lush green valley, in the Berry countryside so dear to George Sand, lies a place seemingly untouched by time: a 12th-century former Cistercian abbey, listed as a Historic Monument, whose buildings and surviving remains tell the story of nearly nine centuries of history. Set within an unspoilt natural environment and crossed by a small river, the property extends over more than 4 hectares of parkland, meadows and gardens, partly enclosed by old stone walls. From the moment one arrives, its charm is undeniable: ancient stonework, traditional roofs, century-old trees, courtyards and gardens come together to create a setting of remarkable authenticity. The former Prior’s House forms the main residence. It comprises eight rooms, including five bedrooms, and retains precious traces of its past: the former cloister gallery, wall paintings, arrow slits and historic architectural features. These details give the property that rare and distinctive atmosphere found only in houses deeply rooted in history. Nearby, the former monks’ refectory, measuring approximately 130 sqm, has been restored and converted into a guest house. A former henhouse, now transformed into a studio, together with several outbuildings barns, garage, cellar and boiler room complete the estate. The property has already benefited from significant restoration work, but now awaits a new owner to continue and complete its restoration. It will appeal to someone with a genuine appreciation for architectural heritage, whose ambition is not to transform the property, but rather to reveal its full potential while preserving its unique identity. For this former abbey is far more than simply a property. It is a place with a soul, a history and a presence of its own a heritage to live in, preserve and pass on to future generations. Located just 10 minutes from a town offering all amenities, and along the historic Way of Saint James to Santiago de Compostela, this is a rare opportunity for those with a passion for historic architecture, ancient stone and properties steeped in history.AI-enhanced photography no alteration to the property’s features

Ref 4825: 15th-century castle and its hamlet for sale in the Berry region Located in Berry, in the Indre department, this remarkable castle captivates visitors with its distinctively medieval character. Situated in the heart of France, it is approximately 300 km from Paris via the A20 motorway, known as the Occitane, and 30 km from Châteauroux, the local town centre. For everyday amenities, the charming village of Argenton-sur-Creuse is less than ten minutes away. The site can also be reached by helicopter. A veritable fortress, the building overlooks the banks of a small river, the Bouzanne. The gently rolling surrounding landscape marks the south-eastern boundary of the Brenne, also known as the ‘Land of a Thousand Ponds’. Renowned for its unspoilt nature and designated a Regional Nature Park, this region offers numerous opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Birdwatchers come from all over the world to observe waterfowl and migratory birds, whilst hikers, cyclists and horse riders enjoy the well-maintained paths winding between the ponds. Hunting enthusiasts also find favourable terrain here, whilst respecting responsible hunting practices. On the edge of a hamlet, its privacy protected by a wall stretching nearly two kilometres, the fortress stands at the heart of its grounds. It enjoys a remarkable panorama over the Bouzanne Valley, forming a veritable natural amphitheatre where the views stretch for nearly ten kilometres. This spectacular setting had, in fact, caught the attention of Michael Jackson, who had considered establishing his French estate there in the late 1990s. The castle is one of the few largely preserved examples of 15th-century military architecture. Built of dressed stone and rubble masonry, and still partially surrounded by moats, it comprises an entrance gatehouse flanked by crenellated towers, which leads into a first, square courtyard. Two wings of the building flank this courtyard. At the far end of this courtyard, a fixed bridge leads, beneath an imposing keep, to a second courtyard. The dismantling of the curtain walls and certain towers has transformed this inner courtyard into a terraced esplanade offering views, to the north, of the wooded banks of the Bouzanne, a small river flowing at the foot of the castle. To the south of the courtyard, the main residence adjoining the keep, rising four storeys high beneath a slate roof, is defended on three of its corners by imposing towers with conical roofs and machicolations. Entering this residence at terrace level via the stair tower that leads to it, one encounters, in turn, a reception room for guests with its monumental fireplace, a study in the south tower, a former bakery converted into a billiard room, a room known as the ‘courtroom’ with a monumental fireplace, and a chapel. Via the south-east tower, there is access to the bathrooms and sauna located on the ground floor of the south wing of the courtyard. In the north-corner tower, there is a separate bedroom with a beautiful fireplace and en-suite bathroom. On the upper floors, accessible by lift: On the first floor of the main building, a semi-professional kitchen, a dining room with beautiful 17th-century wood panelling, a small green sitting room in the west tower, a large sitting room with a ceiling painted in the 18th-century style, and the executive office in the east tower. On the second floor there are seven bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and seating areas. A spacious room with high ceilings and a gallery completes the layout and is designated as the armoury. On the third floor there are eight bedrooms, each with a bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and armchairs. On the fourth floor there are six bedrooms, each with a bathroom or shower room, some featuring monumental fireplaces and built-in seats. A library, covered by a four-part ribbed vault with voussoirs, completes the ensemble. There are numerous outbuildings. Four of these form part of the castle complex: The south wing of the square tower, spread over two floors. It houses the boiler room and a staff flat. The north wing of the square tower is dedicated to technical activities, with storage rooms, cold rooms and a large workshop. On the upper floor, three large brick-vaulted rooms could be converted into a superb reception area. A large terrace covers them. Beneath the terrace lies a vast vaulted room known as the Knights’ Hall. The other outbuildings are clustered in the southern part of the grounds, forming a sort of hamlet: The main one is the Bergerie, a large 19th-century farm building converted into a conference centre. With a total of nearly 300 sqm of living space, it houses two meeting rooms and sixteen rooms, including staff accommodation and two holiday cottages. Six residential houses, likely built in the 19th century, currently unused but weatherproofed. A garage with a covered courtyard and a charging station for electric vehicles. There is also, at the entrance to the estate, a pumping station housed in a hipped-roof building. Built on a plateau overlooking the Bouzanne valley, the castle covers just over 15 hectares (37 acres), which can be divided into: - A vast park, planted with remarkable local tree species (cedars, poplars, birches, oaks), surrounds the castle. It includes an enclosed terraced garden which is soon to be restored to its former status as a vegetable garden. Beautiful paths allow visitors to admire this remarkable example of medieval architecture from every angle. - A 12 x 6 m swimming pool, with a terrace of cut stone and changing rooms in a tower. It is situated at the foot of the north-west corner of the esplanade - To the north, a hillside woodland that slopes down to the path running alongside the river. - Finally, meadows covering an area of 3 hectares complete the estate. All furniture and operating equipment is included in the sale price.

The building is flanked by two towers. The entire structure is crowned with a steep roof covered with flat tiles for the main house and slate for the four-sided tower. The other tower, circular, rises two levels and is topped with a conical slate roof. Many openings are protected by painted wooden shutters. To the south and west of the manor, four outbuildings with simple volumes and two-pitched tile roofs recall the estate's former agricultural vocation. Two of them are converted into housing and a guesthouse, while the other two are used as storage or workshops. The entire manor is surrounded by moats, some of which still hold water. The estate covers approximately 22 hectares in one piece, consisting mainly of meadows, a nearly 6-hectare wood, and a pond.This description has been automatically translated from French.
