17th Century Château with Gatehouse and Grassy Terrace Overlooking the Rhône Valley

About the Property

A 17th-century château listed as a historical monument, this property is set within splendid grounds overlooking the Rhône Valley in the Drôme department of France. Construction of the château began in 1591 and continued during the second half of the 17th century. The estate encompasses 10,000 m², with an impressive indoor area of 1,680 m². The château, a striking example of Italian Late Renaissance architecture, is a large square-shaped structure with corner towers and a central inner courtyard. Its classic symmetrical layout commands attention from its elevated position on a vast earthen terrace of more than one hectare, edged with embankments and dry moats. At the entrance to the property stands a gatehouse, built at the end of the 17th century, which measures approximately 60 meters in length and controls access to the estate. This edifice is flanked by two wings, contributing to the architectural harmony of the property. The grounds extend through meadows and woods, offering a naturally undulating landscape that enhances the estate's charm. The château has been recognized for its architectural significance and has been listed as a historical monument since 1990, encompassing its walls, roofing, and interior decorative features.
