Historic Château Overlooking the Vire River

About the Property

Perched in the hills of the Vire Valley, this historic château, dating from the 13th and 15th centuries, is set within 22 hectares of land. The property boasts a commanding position overlooking the Vire River and is located on the outskirts of Saint-Lô, France. The estate encompasses approximately 600 square meters of living space, with ten bedrooms and ten bathrooms, making it a substantial residence. The château's entrance is approached via a long tarmac driveway lined with horse chestnut trees, leading to a wrought-iron gate supported by solid schist rubble columns. The structure itself is a remarkable blend of medieval fortifications and later architectural developments, featuring vestiges of an imposing construction alongside a wing built at a right angle to the main body. The edifice is constructed from schist rubble stone and rises over three levels, including an attic space. The façade is characterized by a slate roof punctuated by hipped dormer windows, while the south entrance is framed by columns supporting a straight lintel and triangular pediment. A three-sided tower houses an interior spiral staircase, topped with a triangular dormer featuring an oval oculus. A round tower with a pepperpot turret roof adds to the architectural interest, complemented by granite ashlar stone surrounds on the windows.
