Historic 17th Century Château With 39 Hectares And Unique Features

About the Property

A historic 17th-century château, listed as a historic monument, set within a 39-hectare estate, located just 30 minutes from Lyon in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Built between 1608 and 1616 on a former castle motte acquired by Jean Sève, Lyon’s Receiver General of Finances, this château showcases distinctive architecture characterized by perfect symmetry and a moat that surrounds the property. The château rises majestically with three storeys, cellars, and attic space, flanked by two wings and crowned by two projecting corner towers. The north and south façades feature large mullioned windows, while the slate hipped roof is adorned with pediment dormers. Notably, the second floor houses a large former Calvinist temple, a remnant of the Edict of Nantes, discreetly illuminated by seven windows on each façade. Unique dormer windows bearing Holy Trinity symbols serve as the only external indication of this historical significance. The estate is enhanced by several outbuildings, including a caretaker's cottage and a farmhouse, which features a swimming pool within its walled courtyard. A fountain, adorned with three marmosets from the park at Vaux-le-Vicomte, graces the circular pool in front of the château’s south façade, complemented by a large terraced flowerbed. Outbuildings: - Caretaker's cottage - Farmhouse - Swimming pool - Fountain - Moat Price: €4,400,000 including fees (paid by the seller). Exclusive listing by Patrice Besse.
