Description
Naturally protective and elevated, the setting conveys an immediate sense of seclusion and stability, deeply soothing.
The origins of the site date back to the late 13th century. Initially a fortified rural establishment, it gradually evolved into a structured seigneurial ensemble, whose architecture retains a clear and legible record of its successive transformations. Corbelled échauguettes, terraces following the natural contours, the addition of a tower, and later alterations from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries together form a coherent silhouette, faithful to its history and free from artifice.
The château offers approximately 600 sqm of living space arranged over several levels. The interior layout is organised around a spiral staircase with wooden steps, preserved in a remarkable state of integrity, a major feature of the keep and an essential testimony to its patrimonial significance.
Generous volumes, remarkably thick walls and a deliberately subdued atmosphere reflect the essence of medieval architecture, where stone defines both space and rhythm.
Around the main building, the outbuildings are arranged around an enclosed courtyard, forming a clear and balanced ensemble.
Former stables, now converted into a caretaker’s house, together with additional outbuildings, structure the organisation of the estate.
Extending the seigneurial ensemble, an ancient chapel historically linked to the site continues the narrative of the property and lends it a rare symbolic and patrimonial dimension.
A dovecote, a wood store and the remains of an old windmill punctuate the grounds, recalling the organisation of a place that was once self-sufficient.
Preserved during the French Revolution, the château underwent a complete restoration in the 20th century under the supervision of a Chief Architect of Historic Monuments.
The property is listed in the French Inventory of Historic Monuments, with partial classification, attesting to the recognised heritage value of the ensemble.
The parkland, extending over just over three hectares, surrounds the château in a preserved natural environment, without excessive isolation.
Everyday amenities are only a few minutes away. A golf course can be reached in approximately 25 minutes. Regional and international airports, offering regular connections to Paris and major international hubs, are accessible in just over an hour.
A property of character, rare for its architectural coherence, history and setting, offered in a spirit of discretion and transmission.
