Derrière Les Arbres Centenaires, Une Propriété Aux Volumes Rares

CASTLE AND ITS REMARKABLE PARK AT THE GATES OF BOURG-EN-BRESSE In Viriat, just minutes from Bourg-en-Bresse, this property reveals itself behind one of the most beautiful wooded parks in the region. Over the centuries, this former 17th-century farmhouse has become a characterful castle with rare volumes, now extended by a contemporary orangery widely open to the landscape. With over 700 m² of living space, several through-living rooms, eight bedrooms, and vast reception areas, the estate offers a lifestyle focused on light, nature, and family gatherings. A swimming pool, pond, tennis court, terraces, and outbuildings extend this feeling of space and openness in the heart of more than four landscaped hectares. A REMARKABLE PARK AT THE CITY’S EDGE The park is one of the property’s strongest signatures. From the entrance, perspectives open between century-old trees, large lawns, and rare species planted over time by a former owner who was a botanist. Giant sequoia, Atlas cedars, remarkable maples, magnolias, and lindens create a living landscape that evolves with the seasons. The whole offers a rare sense of depth and calm while remaining in immediate proximity to Bourg-en-Bresse and major roads. Around the castle, stone terraces, the pond, fountain, swimming pool, and tennis court naturally extend the living spaces outdoors. Here, the park does not just accompany the residence: it becomes its soul. RARE VOLUMES FILLED WITH LIGHT With over 700 m² of living space spread over three levels, the castle features particularly generous volumes while maintaining true fluidity of movement. The living rooms follow one another in a warm atmosphere where light reveals the old materials: stone, woodwork, exposed beams, old tiling, and parquet floors. Each era has left its mark with coherence. To the original 17th-century farmhouse were added several extensions inspired by 18th and 19th-century castle architecture before a contemporary orangery created a spectacular opening onto the park. Large reception rooms alternate with more intimate spaces dedicated to reading, rest, or family life. Eight bedrooms and several suites allow for hosting family and guests in discreet and elegant comfort. A PROPERTY TO HOST, REUNITE, AND PASS ON The estate achieves a rare balance between grandeur and quality of life. The volumes allow for imagining large family gatherings, extended stays, or weekend receptions without ever losing the intimacy of the place. The outbuildings, the former stable converted into a garage and wine cellar, as well as spaces still available for development, offer various possibilities for evolution around hosting or vacationing. The proximity to the A40 motorway, Bourg-en-Bresse TGV station, and connections to Lyon or Geneva further enhance this ease of use, whether as a primary or secondary residence. Yet the castle retains that precious feeling of being elsewhere. A place deeply inhabited by trees, seasons, and time. AGENCY OPINION What immediately strikes here is the balance between the castle’s volumes and the vastness of the park. Rarely does a property offer so much space while maintaining such a soft and natural atmosphere. The trees, light, and perspectives give the estate a silent, almost timeless presence, just minutes from the city. Johann BARDEY (EI) Commercial Agent - RSAC Number: - .
