Historic Château With Hexagonal Tower And Wooded Grounds

About the Property

A historic château with medieval origins, built in the early Renaissance, nestled within 1 hour and 30 minutes south-west of Paris in the Loire Valley. This property, encompassing 18,800 square meters, features a distinctive hexagonal tower and wooded grounds, offering a serene retreat in France. The château presents a fascinating architectural narrative, having undergone various historical transformations. The prominent hexagonal tower, characterized by its rubble stone with limestone ashlar quoins, features three levels adorned with stone-mullioned cross windows. A grand solid wood door, framed by a stone surround with a slightly arched top, leads into the tower, which retains remnants of a late 15th-century coat of arms. The main section of the château mirrors the tower's design, with a court-side elevation that showcases exposed rubble stonework and a garden-side elevation that is fully rendered. Notable architectural elements include a conservatory adjacent to the entrance and a flight of stone steps leading to a beautifully crafted entrance door, crowned with a basket-handle arch and a sculpted pinnacle. The property is further enhanced by a round tower, the last of the original four, which has recently undergone restoration. The château is topped with a slate roof featuring gabled dormers, while outbuildings line the edge of the estate, which is enclosed by walls and fences, ensuring privacy amidst the wooded grounds.
