Historic Castle Complex With Cottages And Swimming Pools In Southern Ardèche

About the Property

A historic castle complex dating back to 1600, situated within 2.5 hectares in the Southern Ardèche region of France. This expansive property features a total living area of 1,823 m², comprising a main château with 11 fully renovated apartments, multiple swimming pools, and a reception hall. Located near the confluence of the Ardèche and Chassezac rivers, it is a mere stone's throw from the renowned Chauvet Cave and the Via Ardèche greenway. Sampzon Castle, originally established as a fortress in the 13th century, has evolved through centuries of conflict and reconstruction, particularly during the Wars of Religion. The current structure, characterized by a large rectangular form with two circular corner turrets and a square keep, reflects a blend of architectural styles that narrate its storied past. The castle's living quarters were expanded in the 16th century, and a preserved rusticated watchtower adds to its historical significance. The interior of the château offers a magnificent glass-enclosed reception room of 136 m², alongside event spaces totaling over 340 m². The residence features 11 apartments ranging from 37 m² to 74 m², each with private terraces overlooking the park and swimming pools.
