Historic 17th Century Château With Moat And Formal Garden

About the Property

A historic 17th-century château, classified as a historic monument, set within a 17-hectare estate featuring a moat and formal gardens, located two hours from Paris in the Champagne region. The property encompasses approximately 1,069 square meters of indoor space and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape, making it a remarkable example of its era. The château, likely constructed on the site of a fortified manor house, first appears in records dating back to the 13th century. An avenue of lime trees leads to the rectangular area encircled by the moat, where the château stands proudly. The original drawbridge has been replaced by a stone bridge, and the entrance is framed by two charming dovecotes. The formal French garden, created in the 17th century and once among the finest in the region, is currently undergoing redevelopment, which includes a parking area for 350 vehicles adjacent to a vast meadow. Two successive terraces provide access to flowerbeds bordered by hornbeam hedges, while two water mirrors reflect the building, the pond, and the cross canal fed by the Guenelle river, which runs alongside the wood.
