Château Bourges 500.0 Sqm 6 Bedrooms

A rare neo-classical residence inspired by Northern Europe.
In the heart of unspoiled countryside, at the meeting point of Berry and Bourbonnais and only 2h30 south of Paris by motorway (exit 16 km away), lies an exceptional property, seldom seen on the market.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this château benefits from a particularly advantageous fiscal framework, with up to 90% subsidies for restoration work on protected areas, the remainder potentially deductible from taxable income.

Owned by the same family for over 700 years, the estate is deeply rooted in the history of Bourbonnais. Built around 1730 on the foundations of a former feudal motte, it was the home of the Cadier family, one of the region’s oldest lineages, in service to the Dukes of Bourbon as early as 1286.
In the 19th century, the château was enhanced with major architectural features: a double-revolution grand staircase, a Palladian-style vestibule, and gardens designed by the architect Lalos.

Constructed in polychrome brick typical of the region, the building captivates with its symmetrical façade crowned by a triangular pediment. Its circular towers blend French classicism with influences from Northern Europe, giving the ensemble a distinctive architectural identity.

Inside, the château offers generous living and reception spaces. It includes six bedrooms and suites, each with its own bathroom, adorned with 18th‑century decorative elements. The reception rooms—spacious salons, an Italian-inspired dining room, and an office with period woodwork—provide impressive volumes.

The estate also includes a remarkably preserved chapel, a dovecote, large noble stables, a 200 m² reception hall, and several additional dwellings.

Facing south, the park extends toward a pond, within landscaped grounds featuring century-old oaks, plane trees, chestnut trees, and meadows suitable for horses or fallow deer.
