Medieval Castle With Towers And Swimming Pool Overlooking The Ardèche Mountains

About the Property

A medieval castle built around the year 1000, this property boasts a rich history and character, set within a park of nearly one hectare. Located just 10 minutes from the Rhône Valley, it offers unobstructed views over the Ardèche mountains. The fortress features impressive basalt stone defensive walls standing 160 cm high and is distinguished by its square central building flanked by four habitable towers. The castle's architecture reflects its evolution over centuries, with origins tracing back to the Roman Empire. In the 14th century, during the Renaissance, a monumental Italian-style staircase was added to the inner courtyard, enhancing its grandeur. The property encompasses three levels of approximately 400 m², comprising around twenty guest and private rooms, dining areas, lounges, kitchens, libraries, and cellars. The four towers are fully fitted, and the estate includes a west-facing terrace of 80 m² and a superb northern terrace overlooking the park. Additionally, the property features two independent gîtes, one of which is accessible for disabled individuals, and a fully equipped reception room suitable for weddings and seminars. A covered swimming pool enhances the charm of the park, which has been gradually restored to its former splendor after suffering damage during the French Revolution and at the hands of the Duke of Montmorency in 1628.
