Stunning 19th Century Château With Extensive Estate And Amenities

About the Property

A distinguished 17th-century château, constructed in 1661 on the foundations of a 14th-century manor, set within a sprawling 29.75-hectare estate in Valençay, Centre-Val de Loire. This property, encompassing approximately 930 square meters of living space, features a private location with convenient access to local amenities and is situated about one hour's drive from Tours. The château is composed of a centrally positioned three-storey structure flanked by two substantial outbuildings. The ground floor boasts an entrance hall with ceilings exceeding three meters, an oak staircase, an office/library, three spacious reception rooms, and a professional kitchen with internal access to an independent two-storey apartment. The first floor accommodates eight bedrooms, along with six bathrooms/shower rooms and a small kitchen. The second floor features a studio apartment and six additional bedrooms, each with its own bathroom/shower room, as well as further bedrooms and bathrooms located on the upper floor of the tower. The two-storey outbuildings opposite the château have been refurbished and modernized, providing versatile spaces including a computer/work room, storeroom, classroom, cloakrooms, a consecrated chapel, and seminar rooms. Additional outbuildings include a laundry and archives, a boiler room, a tractor hangar, a workshop, and a circular “pigeonnier.” The “Lake House” to the north of the château features a licensed bar, lounges, and accommodation above, along with a separate meeting room. The estate is bordered by country lanes and roads, with approximately half of the land comprising a beautiful forest, offering scenic walks and paths. A picturesque lake of approximately 1.2 hectares lies behind the Lake House, home to swans, while an 8x4 meter swimming pool is conveniently located at the rear of the château. The formal entrance drive is gated, leading through a park adorned with lawns and ornamental trees. Price: €1,390,000 including fees (paid by the seller). Exclusive listing by Cabinet Le Nail.
