An elegant 19th-century chateau with outbuildings, in a 20-hectare landscaped estate, in the heart of the Berry sector’s countryside near Bourges. This chateau, erected in 1844, in the midst of an environment made up of meadows, woods and undulating countryside with remarkable viewpoints, boasts neo-classical architecture typical of the 19th century. The estate is tucked away in a haven of greenery and can be reached at the end of a driveway after passing by several outbuildings, such as a caretaker’s house, stables and an orangery. It boasts a perfectly symmetrical facade, topped by a triangular pediment, punctuated by tall windows with louvred shutters and underlined by a double stone staircase leading to the main patio.

The residence possesses ample reception volumes, which are bathed in light through the many openings, in keeping with the style of manor houses of its era. The harmonious proportions, noble materials and architectural balance bestow a sophisticated, welcoming and timeless ambiance on the edifice.

The approximately 20-hectare landscaped parkland made up of vast lawns, hundred-year-old trees and private spaces extend the warm atmosphere of the residence outside. A water feature further enhances this special setting and is an invitation to contemplation as well as calm.

The chateau discretely overlooks the estate and enjoys an uninterrupted view of the surrounding countryside. It harmoniously combines the character of a historical residence with the gentleness of remarkable parkland and the potential of a family seat or reception venue.

In addition to the caretaker’s house, the property also boasts many other outbuildings:

- The estate’s former stables.

- The equestrian facilities with ten recent, concrete looseboxes, plus pastureland, a round pen and two dressage areas.

- A former farmyard.

- A dovecote transformed into a holiday cottage.

- An orangery.

- A wooden agricultural storage building and another, covering almost 300 m².

- A recent 150-m² holiday cottage.

- A 10-metre by 5-metre swimming pool with a technical installations room and a lavatory.

- An artificial turf tennis court.
