Historic 14th Century Château With Moats And Expansive Grounds

About the Property

A historic 16th-century château, featuring a drawbridge and water-filled moats, is set within expansive grounds of over 5 hectares in a picturesque Burgundy village, approximately two hours from Paris. Originally constructed in the 14th century by the lords of Baulches, the château underwent significant transformations in the late 16th and 18th centuries, resulting in an impressive 18th-century monument that stands today. The property is closely associated with the Arnaud de Châteauvieux family, who were lords of the château. The château is approached via a wide bridal bath leading to a Calvary, surrounded by a circular lawn and encircled by a drive for vehicle access. The fortified gatehouse, restored to its former glory, features a tall gate that opens into the court of honour, flanked by pavilions and landscaped with pruned yew trees. The moats, supplied by a natural spring, enhance the property’s charm, while a stone patio and a bridge adorned with ornate gates provide access to the grounds. A pond, originally part of the château's design, has been transformed into a swimming pool, complemented by a stone deck embellished with sculpted figures and antique statues. The grounds also feature a wooden chalet housing a sauna, a chapel, and an orchard with greenhouses and beehives. A caretaker’s cottage and several garages, capable of accommodating approximately fifteen vehicles, are situated in a semi-circular courtyard, ensuring ample space for staff and visitors alike.
