Historic Château Overlooking The Vire River With 22 Hectares

About the Property

Perched in the hills of the Vire Valley, this historic château, dating from the 13th and 15th centuries, occupies a commanding position over 22 hectares of land. The property, with approximately 600 square meters of living space, is located in Normandy, France, and is available for purchase at a price of €1,500,000. The château is approached via a long tarmac driveway lined with horse chestnut trees, leading to a wrought-iron gate flanked by solid schist rubble columns. The surrounding landscape transitions from urban to expansive lawns, enhancing the sense of seclusion. A nearby chapel adds to the property's charm. The structure itself, built along the edge of a cliff approximately twenty meters above the Vire River, features vestiges of an imposing fortress, including a three-sided tower that houses an interior spiral staircase, and a second round tower with a distinctive pepperpot turret roof. Constructed from schist rubble stone, the château is arranged over three levels, including an attic space, and is crowned by a slate roof punctuated with hipped dormer windows. The south-facing entrance is elegantly framed by columns supporting a straight lintel and triangular pediment, while granite ashlar stone surrounds the mullion and cross-windows, adding to the architectural sophistication. Outbuildings: - Garage located adjacent to the main building. Location: - Overlooking the Vire River in Normandy, France. Price: €1,500,000 including fees (paid by the seller).
