Elegant 18th Century Château With Reception Spaces And Expansive Grounds

About the Property

An elegant 18th-century château, built in 1700 and set within approximately 14 hectares, is located in the serene environment between Bourgogne-du-Sud and Haut-Beaujolais, France. This property, while not classified as a historic monument, offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern potential, featuring expansive reception spaces suitable for events accommodating up to 500 guests. The château's architecture is typical of the 18th century, constructed on the site of an ancient motte-and-bailey castle. The northeast façade opens onto a courtyard bordered by detached buildings surrounding a fountain basin, while the southwest façade boasts a beautiful Saint-Point stone terrace with unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. The interior comprises large living rooms adorned with marble fireplaces and herringbone parquet floors, approximately ten bedrooms, seven bathrooms, vaulted cellars, and a caretaker’s apartment. Notably, significant renovation work is required to restore the château to its former glory. The reception area includes flexible adjoining rooms, such as an orangery with exposed stone, designed to provide elegance and convenience for various events. The property also features an independent stone house of 133 m², which includes a living room, separate kitchen, four bedrooms, a bathroom, a shower room, and a toilet. Additionally, there is a second independent stone house of 80 m², which requires renovation. The estate encompasses 13.7 hectares, including four hectares of parkland with ponds and lakes, and eight hectares of free pasture. A 3,000 m² walled vegetable garden adds to the charm of the grounds, which also present the possibility of creating an ultralight aircraft runway and a golf practice area. Price: €1,250,000 including fees (paid by the seller). Exclusive listing by Paul Parker Properties.
