Neo-Renaissance Tudor-Style Château With 9 Bedrooms And 6.4 Hectares

About the Property

A Neo-Renaissance Tudor-style château, built in 1889, stands at the end of a path winding beneath the trees in France. This distinguished property encompasses 6.4 hectares and features a rich history, having changed hands four times since it was originally gifted as a wedding present. Upon entering, one is greeted by a stained-glass window depicting the patron as a knight, leading to a grand staircase adorned with carvings of a lion and a dragon, motifs that recur throughout the residence. To the left, the sitting room boasts five bay windows, while the dining room, warmed by an oriel window, showcases Hungarian-patterned parquet flooring. The billiard room retains its original upholstery and coffered ceiling, complemented by four-metre-high ceilings and eleven fireplaces, with tapestries that have remained undisturbed. The upper floors house nine bedrooms arranged around the landings, with four on the first floor and five on the second, featuring red marble and pitch pine parquet flooring alongside modern bathrooms. The basement contains the old kitchen, complete with red and white cement tiles, a fireplace, a dumbwaiter, and access to an underground passage. Notably, two secret passages are known, with a third remaining hidden, and local legend suggests a treasure awaits discovery. The grounds extend over 6.4 hectares, featuring a meadow to the south, woods to the north, and a swimming pool nestled in a clearing. The property is free of gravel and tarmac, allowing for a natural landscape where deer may occasionally be spotted. Additionally, an adjoining manor house dating from 1510, complete with outbuildings, stables, and a riding arena, is available, offering an extra 2.4 hectares connected to the château by a stone staircase beneath the trees. Price: €1,700,000 including fees (paid by the seller). Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: https://www.georisques.gouv.fr/
