Property Description

Perched 500 metres above sea level with a south-facing orientation, this exceptional château commands breathtaking panoramic views of the valley below while offering a lifestyle of unparalleled serenity. Just 2 kilometres from a well-equipped village, it provides the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience, making it an ideal retreat or a prestigious venue for luxury hospitality.

Accommodation in the Château

The 750 sq.m château itself is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, where history, elegance, and modern comfort meet.

On the ground floor

On the ground floor, a grand 200 sq.m space unfolds with a bar, library, office, lounge, dining room, and a small kitchen, each room graced by a crackling fireplace. A 60 sq m veranda extends the living space, while a 100 sq m vaulted cellar, dating back to the 16th century, adds a touch of medieval charm.

On the first floor

The first floor mirrors the ground floor’s generosity with 200 sq.m of refined living space, featuring six en-suite bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and fireplace, along with a laundry room and sauna for ultimate relaxation. 

On the second floor

The second floor offers an additional 200 sq.m, housing five en-suite bedrooms and a second laundry room, ensuring ample space for guests or family. 

The Attic Space

The 150 sq.m attic, ripe for conversion, presents endless possibilities, whether as extra living space, an artist’s studio, or a private sanctuary.

The Guest Houses

The main guest house (200 sq.m) is a self-contained haven, complete with a spacious dining room, kitchenette, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, dressing room, garage, and cellar. Two additional 50 sq.m houses, including a charming "Press House" with its own kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, offer extra accommodation or staff quarters.

Outside

The estate is a harmonious blend of nature and grandeur. A 2-hectare walled park, enclosed by ancient stone walls and an automatic gate, sets the stage for outdoor elegance. The terraces are a spectacle in themselves, 1,000 sq.m of paved space adorned with statues of the Four Seasons, a basin, and majestic stone lions, complemented by a 100 sq.m orangery and an additional 100 sq.m terrace, perfect for al fresco dining or evening gatherings.

The Pool Area

At the heart of the estate, a heated 19 × 8 m swimming pool invites relaxation, surrounded by a 300 sq.m tiled sun deck and a 15 sq.m pool house with WC. For sports enthusiasts, a private tennis court offers recreation, while the asphalt driveway and private road ensure smooth access to this secluded paradise.

Outbuildings

The outbuildings further enhance the estate’s versatility. Two grand reception halls (300 sq.m total) provide ample space for events, while an 80 sq.m hunting lodge, perched with commanding views, features a lounge with fireplace, kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom, ideal for intimate retreats.


The estate is a rare gem, whether as a prestigious private residence, an exclusive boutique hotel, or a venue for unforgettable events.
