Historic Château With 6 Bedrooms Overlooking The Goul River

About the Property

A historic château from the Middle Ages and Renaissance, set within 15 hectares of grounds overlooking the Goul River valley, located on the border of the Cantal and Aveyron departments in France. Erected in 1400, this national Historical Monument is nestled in a tranquil setting, providing a commanding view of the valley that delineates the historic boundary between Upper Auvergne and the former Rouergue province. The château's origins trace back to a simple keep surrounded by an enclosure with multiple defensive towers. Today, remnants of this era include the first keep to the west and a second tower from the 15th century to the east. The central dwelling, constructed during the Renaissance, features a southern façade adorned with mullioned windows and exquisite sculpted décor around its main entrance, complemented by an additional wing added in the 18th century. The interior layout remains largely unaltered, showcasing an immense Italianate staircase. The ground floor comprises a former lower hall, currently utilized as a dining room, a small TV room, and two kitchens. The first floor houses a former lords’ hall, a small sitting room, two bedrooms, and a shower room with lavatory. The 18th-century wing offers three adjacent bedrooms with washbasins, a bathroom, and a separate lavatory. The second floor includes the expansive “Queen’s bedroom,” a study, two additional bedrooms, and a shower room with lavatory. The third floor features an exhibition hall, a guest bedroom, former staff rooms, and an interior dovecote. A small staircase leads to the attic, which boasts impressive wooden rafters and two fireplaces, along with an oratory and the upper sections of the two towers.
