castles for sale Rhone-Alps, France (page 3)

The John Taylor Lyon agency is pleased to present this chateau, built in the 14th century, transformed in the 19th century by an Italian owner who wanted to give it the Loire chateau style. It then became a sanatorium, then the property of an English lady wishing to open a Bed and Breakfast. The estate had fallen into disrepair, but over the past 6 years, its current owners have brought it back to life. The architecture is unique for the region, with slate roofs maintained and tended each year, and whitewashed facades. The high windows on the facades are fitted with double-glazed, burglar-proof glass and adorned with majestic hangings. The chateau and its outbuildings meet the highest standards for events, weddings, seminars, etc. Previously unheated, the owners have installed underfloor central heating with a pellet-fired boiler. The entire estate is connected to mains drainage. The building comprises a 3-storey château with elegant reception rooms and lounges on the first floor, plus a fully equipped kitchen; the upper floors are devoted to sleeping quarters, with 13 en-suite bedrooms. The 4-storey, classically-styled mansion houses bedrooms and dormitories with different shower rooms. In all, the estate can accommodate 60 guests. The ballroom, with its delicate frescoes on ceilings and walls, imitation parquet flooring, drapes, sparkling crystal chandeliers, sumptuous Venetian mirrors and vases borrowed from the Medici style, will leave no one indifferent. Access for the disabled has been created at the rear of the building. This room can accommodate over 200 guests. The orangery features an open-plan kitchen opening onto a large living room. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Finally, a former pigeon house is being renovated with electricity and water connections. The 2-hectare park has also been redeveloped, with new trees planted for greenery and beautiful fountains and wrought-iron arbors for ambiance. A three-hundred-year-old weeping beech enthroned in the middle of the park is classified as a remarkable tree. The fountains are fed by natural springs. The estate is surrounded by a stone wall. The estate also includes a riding arena and a huge tarmac parking lot. Let yourself be seduced by the refinement of the premises and be carried away in a project combining the private with the professional, I am at your disposal to continue the work accomplished: Claire Barralon, John Taylor LYON agency, on 07 60 13 70 00, [email protected], real estate agent registered with the RSC of LYON under number 904 488 533.

A 19th century chateau with 14 5 hectares of grounds surrounded by verdant countryside in north-west Isère. This vast estate, extending over approx. 14.5ha of gently sloping, uninterrupted land, consists predominantly of woodlands. A shady driveway leads to a large gravel parking area to the north-west of the main building. It then continues towards a courtyard in front of the chateau, where the woods give way to a large clearing. A secondary path followed by a flight of steps lead to a swimming pool on a plateau overlooking the forest. On the other side, a small wooden chapel is tucked away beneath the trees. This was originally a forest house linked to an ancient 16th century Cistercian abbey. After the French Revolution, it was used as the home of the steward responsible for managing the national forest. In 1888, a local grandee commissioned the architect Joseph-Étienne Mallaval to build a substantial four-storey extension. The chateau, which has undergone several periods of construction and renovation, stands on the north-eastern edge of the grounds. Its most striking external architectural features are those dating from the 19th century. The distinct, homogenous volumes of each section follow one another cascading down to the outbuilding, reflecting the different periods in which they were built. The adobe, pebble, rammed earth concrete and clinker block facades are rendered. The roofs, clad with slate, monk and nun or flat “beaver tail” tiles are in good condition; they have all been renovated, with the exception of the roof of the 19th-century main building. Today divided into various lodgings spread over three levels, the building has a total floor area of approx. 870 m². It is currently used as tourist accommodation, benefiting from one of the most peaceful environmental areas.

An 11th century castle, its guest houses and outbuildings on a 45-ha, unspoilt, natural estate in the midst of the Trièves region. Once a stronghold house, this property includes a castle, spanning approx. 900 m² of living space, three independent, converted guest houses, spanning between 120 and 200 m² of living space, an interior, cobblestoned courtyard, numerous outbuildings, a 12x6 m swimming pool, an exercise and sauna room, a spa, a French formal garden and a vegetable garden, all in an excellent state of repair. Although the exact date the stronghold house was constructed is unknown, everything points to that fact that it was sometime around the year 1000, that is to say the early Middle-Ages. Around 1450, King Charles VII, alarmed by the plotting of his older son, the future King Louis XI, simply gave him the province of Dauphiné to govern as he saw fit under the name of Louis XI. The latter was to live there for ten years and became very popular in the Trièves region, where the stronghold house became his favourite hunting lodge and took pride in his royal visits. Up until the end of the Middle-Ages, Montmeilleur belonged to the Bérenger-de-Morges family. Their coat-of-arms is still to be found today on the entrance gateway and the monumental fireplace in the large reception room. Following a succession of leading citizens, including the Marquis-de-Langon, Montmeilleur was destroyed at the time of the French Revolution, archives were lost and the castle fell into ruin. Sold in 1841 to Constantin-Abrard, Montmeilleur remained for more than a century in the hands of this same family, descending directly through the female line and including the Thibaud-Gibbs family who undertook major renovation works around 1875. This tradition came to a halt when the son of Madame-Thibaud sold the property in 1957. In one of his imaginary constructions, “A King Alone”, a Provencal, complex novel that takes place between Lalley and Chichilianne, Jean-Giono greatly enhances his memories of Montmeilleur, where he stayed numerous times, by taking inspiration from the personality of Madame-Thibaud.
