Magnificent Château with Extensive Grounds and Historical Significance
About the Property
Magnificent château built in 1800, meticulously restored in the 19th century, set within a rare 87-hectare estate in the Drôme region of historic Dauphiné. This property, featuring a striking moat and surrounded by century-old trees, offers approximately 3,000 m² of built space, including extensive outbuildings. It is located near Valence, providing convenient access to shops and services. Nestled on an island encircled by water-filled moats, this romantic medieval château reveals itself dramatically at the end of a majestic 300-meter avenue lined with plane trees. The estate, with over a thousand years of history, boasts a neo-Gothic gatehouse and a chapel, alongside extensive outbuildings arranged around two courtyards. The main structure features a grand entrance leading to a two-level hall illuminated by a vast glass roof, adorned with neo-Renaissance heraldic painted décor. The ground floor includes a large dining room, a smaller dining room with a ceramic stove, and a well-appointed kitchen with five sculleries. The first floor is accessible via a grand staircase and features a Napoléon III-style salon with a marble fireplace and a balcony overlooking the moat, along with several reception rooms and four bedrooms, some with exquisite marble fireplaces. The second floor houses a large medieval-style hall, billiards, and library, along with six additional bedrooms. The third floor contains eleven bedrooms, including two particularly fine rooms with 18th-century marble fireplaces. The extensive outbuildings encompass four independent dwellings, an orangery, stables, a dovecote, large barns, and a former silkworm farm, with a total footprint of approximately 2,700 m² over two levels. The estate is partially enclosed and free of leases, comprising mainly arable land and parkland, with a fine riding avenue leading to a rest area.
