About the Property

A historic 17th-century château, constructed between 1608 and 1616, set within a 39-hectare estate, listed as a historic monument, located merely 30 minutes from Lyon, France. This remarkable property, originally acquired by Jean Sève, Lyon's Receiver General of Finances, is characterized by its distinctive symmetrical architecture, featuring three storeys, cellars, and attic space, flanked by two wings and corner towers. The château's architectural elegance is evident in its large mullioned windows and slate hipped roof adorned with pediment dormers. The central body houses a significant former Calvinist temple, illuminated by seven windows on each facade, a rare remnant of the Edict of Nantes. Surrounding the property is a moat, enhancing its historical charm, while the grounds are further complemented by a caretaker's cottage, a farmhouse with a swimming pool, and a fountain featuring marmosets from the park at Vaux-le-Vicomte. Outbuildings: - Caretaker's cottage - Farmhouse - Swimming pool - Fountain - Moat Price: €4,400,000 including fees (paid by the seller). Exclusive listing by Sophie Basset-Chercot. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: https://www.georisques.gouv.fr/
