Property Description

This majestic 1,500 sqm Château Directoire estate, set on 43 hectares with 26 bedrooms, equestrian facilities, a heated pool, and timeless elegance, offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern luxury in a preserved natural setting.

Step Inside the Château

Built in a bright, open style, its large windows fill the 1,500 sqm, three-floor residence with daylight and scenic vistas. It exudes timeless elegance and craftsmanship.

The ground floor has a grand entrance hall with a stone staircase, leading to a reception room with terrace access. To the left, the Salon de Chasse features a marble fireplace, tiled flooring, and velvet curtains. To the right, the Salon Directoire has Versailles parquet, a marble fireplace, and silk hangings. Near the entrance, a cosy sitting room connects to a library with wood panelling. A modern, professional kitchen completes this level.

The first floor has a billiards lounge and two corridors. One leads to a wellness area and two bedrooms with private baths and WCs; the other to four more bedrooms with en-suites. The second floor has eight bedrooms, each with a bathroom and WC, suited for family or guests.

The cellars include a climate-controlled wine cellar, staff changing rooms, sanitary facilities, a boiler room, storage, and an external exit.

Guest Houses & Outbuildings

The outbuildings enhance the estate’s functionality, charm and potential. 

  • La Maison du Jardin features three climate-controlled, hotel-style rooms, including one wheelchair-accessible, each with a private terrace.
  • The owners’ residence, constructed in 2008, spans 115 m⊃2; over two floors and includes a living room, dining area, study, fully equipped kitchen, two air-conditioned bedrooms, and a private terrace with a garden.
  • The Riders House, renovated in 2007, offers 130 sqm of rustic charm, with a large open-plan living area (kitchen, dining, and lounge), two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dressing room. 
  • La Maison du Personnel, also 130 sqm, contains five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully fitted kitchen, all designed with a warm, rustic atmosphere.

Estate and Equestrian Facilities

The estate’s 43 hectares offer a harmonious blend of nature and practicality, comprising 30 hectares of drained pastures, 10 hectares of woodland, and a 3-hectare pond, creating an ideal setting for both equestrian pursuits and tranquil country living.

The estate’s equestrian facilities are exceptional. The stables, renovated in 2005, feature 26 boxes, three tack rooms, a clubhouse, and an office, all surrounding a shaded courtyard lined with plane trees. 

The equestrian installations, constructed between 2005 and 2011, are fully equipped for training racehorses, sport horses, or for leisure riding, including two outdoor arenas (60x30m and 40x20m), a covered arena (40x20m), a 750-metre gallop track, a covered horse walker, a lunge ring, and several paddocks.

Additional information

The walled garden features a 12x6-meter solar-heated pool, a traditional garden, and an orchard with heirloom fruits. It has a private heliport and easy access to highways (A71 and A77), just 30 minutes away and 2.5 hours from Paris. Local amenities are within 10 minutes, offering privacy and convenience.

This château estate blends history, luxury and equestrian excellence; it's an outstanding opportunity for those seeking a legacy property with great potential.
