19th Century Château With Extensive Grounds, Pool, Tennis Court And Outbuildings

About the Property

In the south of Sologne, France, this exquisite 19th-century château, built in 1840, is set within a verdant landscape, encompassing an impressive 40 hectares. The estate features a swimming pool, tennis court, and numerous outbuildings, including a chapel, stables, and a caretaker’s house. The property is conveniently located, offering a tranquil retreat while remaining accessible to nearby amenities. This superb château, with its historic façade adorned with refined details and 19th-century towers, has been fully renovated to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere across approximately 936 m². The interior harmoniously blends original proportions and architectural features with modern comforts, making it ideal for hosting family and friends. The period features, including wood panelling, parquet floors, mouldings, and marble fireplaces, have been meticulously preserved. Upon entering, one is greeted by a beautiful entrance hall dominated by the main staircase, situated within one of the towers. The former hunting room now serves as an elegant reception area, positioned between the dining room and kitchen. The dining room, decorated in the First Empire style, enjoys direct access to the terrace and convenient communication with the kitchen. The library, with its wood panelling and glazed bookcases, is particularly charming and appreciated by guests. The 40 m² drawing room opens naturally onto the garden and swimming pool, providing a seamless connection to the outdoors. The monumental staircase leads to the first floor, where three reception areas await: the former billiard room, now a leisure space; a spacious TV room; and the grand salon, enhanced by a grand piano. This floor also comprises five large bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and boudoir, two of which have direct access to the swimming pool. The second floor, once reserved for children’s bedrooms and staff accommodation, now offers four light-filled bedrooms with exceptional views over the park. Three of these bedrooms have been redecorated, with two featuring their own shower rooms. The fourth bedroom, located within the tower, includes a bathroom with a bathtub and direct access to the terrace. The extensive attic spaces above the main body of the château present tremendous potential for further development, accommodating additional living areas or bedrooms.
