Perched on the heights of the Old Village, overlooking in all its splendor the Valence plain and the confluence of the Rhône and Drôme rivers, this exceptional estate reveals itself as a journey through time. Built at the end of the 11th century by the bishops of Valence and later reinterpreted in the 17th century, this unique architectural ensemble masterfully combines the nobility of its medieval origins with the boldness of a carefully executed contemporary renovation.
The estate extends over 870 m² of living space in the heart of a large wooded park of nearly 8,000 m², fully enclosed to ensure absolute privacy.
The main building features a magnificent stone and lime facade, flanked by a square tower and a round tower with a pepperpot roof, totaling about 620 m² of living space.
From the entrance, the atmosphere is theatrical: the ground floor houses four major rooms classified as Historic Monuments for their sumptuous period murals painted with mineral pigments. These exceptional decorations interact with spectacular volumes, solid wood French-style ceilings, and ancient fireplaces.
The upper floors, renovated in a distinctive style, contain bright enfilade living rooms as well as spacious, cozy sleeping areas. Characterful suites combine herringbone parquet floors, patinated wood paneling, and bathrooms with sleek designs.
Exploring the castle’s secret corners, the magic continues and transports us through time. Along a flight of stairs, one discovers an ancient stone vegetable garden here, a monumental fireplace there, which likely once hosted numerous roasted venison and other spit-roasted meats for noble banquets.
The estate also includes exceptional outbuildings that enhance outdoor living: - A former orangery transformed into an independent suite with a bathroom and private jacuzzi. - A charming small chapel adding historical soul to the property. - A long swimming pond elegantly integrated into the park for gentle summer days.
Completely independent yet perfectly integrated, a second house of 250 m² over two levels ideally complements the property. Fully renovated in a bold contemporary style, it features an independent entrance and a large double garage opening directly onto the street. Inside, this modern home offers, among other things, a spacious living area bathed in light from a skylight and warmed by a suspended central fireplace, a modern kitchen with a central bar, and a beautiful bedroom nestled under an original masonry vault.
Whether for an intergenerational family project, a high-end hospitality activity, or a pure creative space, this place of absolute expression will captivate aesthetes seeking uniqueness, history, and vast spaces.
