About the Property

A unique 17th-century castle on a private island in the Bresle Valley, built in 1636 for Anne-Marie-Louise of Orléans, known as "La Grande Mademoiselle," cousin of Louis XIV. This historical estate spans approximately 8 hectares and is situated between Normandy and the Bay of Somme, only two hours from Paris. The property features a remarkable blend of preserved nature and rich heritage, entirely surrounded by a river and accessible via a private secure bridge. The castle encompasses about 500 square meters of living space, characterized by beautifully illuminated reception rooms and several bedrooms and suites, with significant potential for further development. The roof was completely restored in 2023, and the joinery was replaced in 2018. The estate's hydraulic mill, listed as a Historic Monument, covers approximately 360 square meters and retains its hydraulic wheel, offering a spectacular setting for cultural or event projects. The ground floor features a large reception hall of about 130 square meters, while the upper floors and attics present remarkable development potential. The old stables have been fully rehabilitated, now comprising a kitchen, several suites with shower rooms, and living spaces suitable for hosting guests or organizing private events.
