The building offers more than 2,000sqm of living space on several levels and with cellars underneath. The whole is distributed by 3 staircases including a superb wooden spiral staircase in the keep. The facades of the chateau are pierced with large openings (17th century works) offering a lot of interior luminosity.

On the upper floors, numerous rooms or suites follow one another and are distributed by large corridors. The chateau is accompanied by numerous outbuildings which are in the image of the property. They include a 350 m² guest house with swimming pool, a caretaker's house and vast reception room. A unique setting, free of nuisances, in an 44 acres estate combining English-style parklands, gardens, a vegetable garden and woods crossed by bridle paths. All of this is enhanced by a pond on the river bank. 25 min from Gien, 35 min from Sancerre and only 10 min from Aubigny-sur-Nère with all amenities.
