About the Property

A 16th-century château with 18th-century outbuildings set within 4 hectares of grounds overlooking the Forez plain, located just 15 minutes from Saint-Galmier, France. This elegant property, constructed in 1500 on the foundations of an 11th-century structure, features a striking façade of light ochre stone that glows warmly in the setting sun. The estate includes formal gardens, a main courtyard, and a variety of outbuildings, all contributing to its refined character. Upon entering through the large gates at the end of a country road, one is greeted by a French-style formal garden that leads to the main courtyard, dominated by the imposing château. The property is adorned with a rectangular tower at each corner and a round tower to the south, enhancing its architectural grandeur. A wide stone staircase leads to a second formal garden, where large topiaries encircle a circular pool with a central fountain, creating a serene atmosphere. The château itself rises three storeys, with the first two levels fully completed, offering ample space for luxurious living. To the east, a monumental fountain is flanked by a two-flight staircase, providing access to the upper parkland, which is bordered by two typical 18th-century lodges. The estate also features a long barn of approximately 300 m², which runs alongside the north façade of the château, enclosing the main courtyard.
