The Château
Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, the castle comprises a central building flanked by two wings linked by a vaulted gallery — an architectural composition of perfect harmony and proportion.
Currently offering around 400 m² of living space across two main floors (with a third to renovate), the château retains its period authenticity, from waxed parquet and oak beams to monumental fireplaces and stone staircases.

- A discreet bathroom is tucked within the thick stone walls.

First Floor:

Second Floor:
Identical in volume to the first, this level remains untouched — a magnificent blank canvas for restoration or additional accommodation.

The Outbuildings
The estate also includes several structures of note:
- Caretaker’s House with barn and vegetable garden (potential for modernisation or conversion to offices or a medical practice).
- Large Two-Level Barn with electricity, currently used for vehicle storage (classic and racing cars).
- Two 16th-Century Pavilions, perfect for artist studios or reading rooms.
- Old Mill and other smaller dependencies offering further potential.

The Grounds
Surrounding the château are formal French gardens complete with fountains, a mirror pool, and an ornamental pond, set amidst mature woodland ensuring total privacy.
The estate also includes fenced pastures, ideal for horses or small livestock, and long tree-lined drives enhancing the château’s noble approach.

A Living Heritage

Lived in with devotion since 1995, the château now awaits new custodians to continue its story — whether as a family residence, cultural restoration, or hospitality project.
Each stone, each vaulted archway, speaks of centuries past, offering a unique opportunity to preserve and inhabit a piece of French history.
