Perched in a commanding hilltop position with extraordinary panoramic views stretching towards the Alps, this remarkable château traces its origins back to the 11th century. Remodelled during the 15th and 17th centuries and meticulously restored in recent years, the property today offers a rare blend of medieval character, refined comfort and modern functionality.

Lovingly renovated between 2009 and 2011, with further restoration works completed in 2023–2024 following the rebuilding of the principal wing, the château has been carefully brought back to life while preserving its remarkable architectural heritage.

The main east-west wing forms the heart of the residence. On the garden level, two impressive rooms include a magnificent 50 sqm family reception room, alongside guest facilities and two fascinating former dungeons that serve as evocative reminders of the château’s medieval past.

The principal living floor features an exceptional 61 sqm kitchen and dining room, beautifully designed with bespoke custom-made fittings that complement the historic architecture perfectly. Adjacent to this, a superb 51 sqm drawing room centred around a fireplace insert provides an elegant and welcoming reception space, while a 25 sqm study offers a peaceful setting for work or reading. A guest cloakroom completes this level, which also provides access to the annex wing.

Upstairs, the château offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms, including an elegant principal suite with dressing room, bathroom and shower room. Two further bedrooms share an additional bathroom and enjoy lovely natural light and countryside views.

The south wing provides further accommodation and flexibility. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, utility spaces, boiler room and a charming sitting room with antique fireplace. Upstairs are two dual-aspect bedrooms together with a shower room and additional facilities, ideal for family or guest accommodation.
