Description

Located in the Centre-Val de Loire region, this magnificent early 19th-century castle features classical architecture of the era (building flanked by two towers), constructed in tuffeau (traditional local stones of the Loire castles) and set on a 4-hectare property, offering 650 m² of living space, 11 bedrooms each with their own bathroom, a 5-bedroom gîte, and the adjoining caretakers' house.

The wooded park of majestic century-old Sequoias (among the tallest in France) shelters the lake and its island, the heated pool, and various animals (peacocks, swans, ducks, squirrels, etc.)...

On the ground floor, the large entrance hall leads to a lounge, a dining room, a kitchen, a library, and finally a spacious veranda. We access the upper floors via a beautiful staircase located in one of the two towers.
