Full Description
Just 1 hour 45 minutes from Paris, in the lushious green Sologne region, we present this Renaissance château, a listed historic monument (Ismh). It is currently a magical and spacious family home of nearly 2,000 m², combining authentic character with understated elegance.
A rare opportunity on the French heritage market: this property is offered as a comprehensive, all-inclusive purchase (acte en main). The price covers everything - the château in very good condition, the guesthouse and pool, all furnishings (except a few personal items), vast outbuildings, the 17-hectare park, garden maintenance equipment, the agency fees, and notary fees. There are no additional costs. Everything is included - except your suitcases!
The main building, an outstanding example of French architecture, features numerous delightful light-filled reception rooms. There are seventeen bedrooms, eight of which are suites, as well as remarquable period details: wood paneling, rare and preserved Cordoba leather wall coverings, fireplaces in every room, and an impressive historic cold store - all within a carefully harmonized interior. The château is lovingly cared for and meticulously maintained, blending modern comfort with a deep respect for heritage.
Set slightly apart, a charming 350 m² guesthouse - designed like a large country home - provides six bedrooms, with the potential to create at least six more suites. It opens onto a hidden garden with a recently renovated pool, inviting total relaxation in a private outdoor space.
The estate also includes an elegant villa for a caretaker couple, and a huge barn housing two reception rooms, garages, and spacious attics ready for conversion.
The property is nestled in a beautifully landscaped 17-hectare park with woodlands, meadows, clearings, vegetable gardens, and a small French formal garden. It offers complete peace and privacy. A river runs along the edge of the property, where swans and ducks provide a sweet water spectacle. Walkers, dreamers, and anglers will all find a deep sense of peace here.
This exceptional property offers a way of life in harmony with its surroundings. It provides a warm, intimate setting for meaningful family moments, and is also an ideal backdrop for unforgettable gatherings.
Located just 10 minutes from all amenities in Aubigny-sur-Nère, 20 minutes from the Gien train station, and 35 minutes from the renowned vineyards of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, this gem is perfectly suited for use as a private guest estate or for events.
Please note: the property is not suitable for the reglementation of a traditional hotel project.
Owning this rare château, which has stood solidly intact for centuries, means being part of a new chapter and choosing a unique, soulful place - where history, beauty, and tranquillity continue to stand the test of time.
