Elegant 18th Century Château With 15 Hectares Of Grounds

About the Property

An elegant 18th-century château with annexes, set within 15 hectares of grounds, located in central France, near Bourges and the Menetou-Salon vineyards. Built in 1700, this property showcases classical architecture typical of grand French homes from the latter half of the 18th century. The estate features a symmetrical plan with a central section flanked by two pavilions, enhancing the south-facing façade. The château's raised ground floor, noble first floor, and second floor beneath a remarkable mansard slate roof contribute to its stately presence. The roof is adorned with triangular-pediment dormers, bull’s-eye windows, and imposing chimney stacks, all of which enhance the elegant form of the edifice. The refined façade, complemented by tall casement windows, allows for an abundance of natural light, while the dressed stone window surrounds, stringcourses, and quoins underscore the quality of its design. A grand central flight of steps leads to the main entrance, emphasizing the symmetry of the structure. Slender turrets at the edges add a picturesque dimension, reflecting embellishments likely added in the 19th century. Surrounding the château is a classically inspired garden featuring geometric flowerbeds, well-structured paths, and carefully designed vistas, illustrating the harmonious relationship between the architecture and its landscaped grounds. This property stands as a characterful haven, embodying the timeless charm and residential heritage of 18th- and 19th-century France. Price: €1,250,000 including fees (paid by the seller).
