Full Description
This stately 19th-century Château sits on the edge of a charming village near a lively town with full amenities. Surrounded by 2.5 hectares of landscaped parkland, it features a pool, two guest houses, and elegant period architecture throughout.
Inside, a grand granite staircase leads to a majestic entrance hall, flowing into a formal dining room with intricate woodwork and parquet floors. Three reception rooms, one with a stylish bar, offer refined entertaining spaces. The right wing includes a paneled corridor leading to a spacious kitchen, office, utility room, and guest facilities.
A sweeping wrought-iron staircase ascends to eight en suite bedrooms across two floors, all with oak floors and estate views. The attic offers two more bedrooms, a bathroom, and space for further conversion (STPP). Below, a vast vaulted cellar spans the entire footprint of the Château.
Outbuildings include a charming orangery and 1880s stables—both ripe for restoration. Two restored stone guest pavilions provide additional accommodation: one with 2 bedrooms, the other a studio with mezzanine. A 10x5m pool completes the picture.
The English-style park, enclosed in parts by old stone walls, is planted with mature trees including redwoods and oaks. A separate orchard hosts figs, mirabelles, apples, and peaches.
A rare blend of history, charm, and potential.
