Historic Renaissance Château with Exceptional Provenance in the Heart of Touraine
Once the property of the Marquis de La Fayette—hero of the American Revolution—this extraordinary château combines noble heritage, architectural grandeur, and modern comfort. Set within 5 hectares of landscaped grounds, it is an exceptionally restored estate offering the rare opportunity to own a true piece of French history.
Originally a medieval moated castle, the current château dates predominantly from the Renaissance and 19th century. Its most striking architectural feature is the magnificent Renaissance gallery on the eastern façade—an elegant and rare element that evokes the estate’s illustrious past.
Designed for entertaining on a grand scale, the château offers a succession of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, each with tall windows and exquisite stone fireplaces. A majestic stone staircase leads to a spectacular first-floor gallery and five luxurious ensuite bedrooms. The second floor houses three further ensuite bedrooms, expansive attic space, and a games room, ideal for family living or guest accommodation.
In addition to the main residence, the estate includes three impeccably renovated houses:
- The Guest House and The Cottage: Both currently rented as high-end holiday accommodation.
- The Guardian’s House: Situated at the gate and used as staff lodging.
The property also includes a series of pristine outbuildings, offering garaging for up to 13 vehicles and a fully equipped event space with professional kitchen—ideal for private functions, weddings, or seminars.
The grounds are a highlight of the estate: a grand avenue of ancient chestnut trees, two swimming pools, a tennis court, pétanque terrain, expansive lawns, wildflower meadows, and a beautifully preserved dovecote enhance the charm and prestige of the domain.
This château offers immense potential, whether as an exceptional private residence, a prestigious events venue, or a luxury hospitality project. Rich in history and refined in every detail, it stands as a testament to France’s cultural and architectural heritage.
