Historical Castle With Vast Outbuildings And 33 Hectares Of Grounds

About the Property

A listed historical monument castle dating from 1400, this property is set within 33 hectares of grounds in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. Originally a fortified manor house, it was expanded in the 15th century by a companion in arms and adviser to Louis XI, who constructed a sumptuous keep. The 16th century saw the addition of four wings featuring Italianate galleries, although one gallery was removed during the French Revolution, enhancing the views over the grounds. The castle is arranged around an open courtyard, flanked by three round towers and the imposing former square keep. The outbuildings, a long complex of 17th-century architecture, enclose a vast farmyard, which once housed the parish church until its relocation in the 18th century. The remains of a ditch and drawbridge indicate the former presence of a moat. The estate features a 4-hectare lake with a landing stage and hut, and the entire property is walled, with a turret at each corner. Access is provided through two high entrance gates leading to the village, with a third gate opening onto a country lane. Outbuildings: - 17th-century buildings enclosing a vast farmyard - Remains of a moat - Lake with landing stage and hut - Round towers - Square keep Price: €1,780,000 including fees (paid by the seller).
