The Property
Set in the beautiful countryside of southern Berry, just 300 km from Paris and less than ten minutes from the vibrant market town of La Châtre, this remarkable château stands at the centre of an enclosed park, protected by ancient curtain walls and imposing medieval towers.
Dating back to the 12th century and extensively rebuilt in the 15th century, the château has witnessed nine centuries of French history. Once a mighty fortress, it gradually evolved into an elegant country residence while preserving its powerful medieval character. Carefully restored and modernised between 2010 and 2012, the property now combines historic grandeur with modern comfort.
The château offers exceptional reception spaces, prestigious private apartments and magnificent architectural features throughout, including monumental fireplaces, a polychrome chapel, fine parquet floors and beautifully preserved period details. The upper levels include a vast leisure room beneath the roof and additional guest and staff accommodation.
The estate also benefits from substantial outbuildings, including a beautifully restored 15th-century annex house currently operated as a gîte, former stables and service buildings, a remarkable medieval gallery and numerous historic spaces offering further potential.
Set within 2.35 hectares of private parkland with mature trees, a vegetable garden and orchard, this exceptional property enjoys complete privacy and benefits from a thriving hospitality business, attracting visitors from across Europe and guests attending the renowned Chopin Festival in nearby Nohant.
Listed as a Historic Monument, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Berry's most remarkable medieval estates.
