Renaissance Château With Independent Apartment And Expansive Grounds

About the Property

A Renaissance château, originally built in the 16th century and remodeled in the 17th century, stands on a 4-hectare estate near Courpière, within the Livradois-Forez regional natural park. This property, featuring a quadrilateral layout with two round towers and two pavilions, encompasses approximately 388 m² of living space. The estate includes a pond and is situated 25 km from the A89 motorway, making it accessible while retaining its tranquil setting. The château's architecture reflects Renaissance standards, characterized by a vast terrace with a balustrade supported by three semicircular arches, overlooking a large body of water fed by the Sauvagnon stream. The current owners acquired the château in 1974 and undertook significant restoration works from 1976 to 2000, preserving the structural integrity and enhancing the interior spaces. Access is granted through a beautifully arched door leading to a covered passage with a barrel vault, which opens into the inner courtyard.
