THE PROPERTY
Set within more than 12 hectares of preserved parkland and woodland near Châteauroux, this remarkable château offers a rare combination of history, privacy and exceptional potential in the heart of Centre-Val de Loire.
Dating from the 17th century and subsequently remodelled in the 18th century, the château retains a wealth of period features that give the residence its distinctive character. Original parquet floors, wood panelling, mouldings, fireplaces and cement tiles are complemented by generous proportions and elegant reception spaces.
Approximately 386 m² of living space is currently arranged across 18 rooms, including six bedrooms, several salons and reception rooms, a library, dining room, office and service areas. Around 150 m² are devoted to formal and informal reception spaces, creating an impressive setting for both private living and entertaining.
The château also offers significant scope for further development. Approximately 340 m² on the second floor remain to be converted, with the possibility of creating around four additional bedrooms. This considerable volume provides the future owner with the opportunity to expand the accommodation while preserving the historic character of the property.
The château is offered as a substantial renovation project, allowing its next custodian to restore and modernise the interiors according to a personal vision.
ESTATE & GROUNDS
The château sits at the heart of an estate extending to approximately 12.28 hectares, including around 10 hectares of parkland and woodland.
A long tree-lined avenue leads through the grounds, opening onto a peaceful landscape of mature trees and natural spaces. The property includes a substantial potager and orchard of approximately 5,500 m², offering both practical and ornamental possibilities.
The outdoor amenities include a 10 x 5 metre swimming pool and a former tennis court, while the surrounding woodland and open grounds provide an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquillity.
Together, the scale of the land and the variety of its landscapes create an estate that feels both intimate and expansive. A private countryside setting with the character and infrastructure of a historic French domain.
OUTBUILDINGS & ACCOMMODATION
A remarkable collection of outbuildings surrounds the château, adding considerable character and flexibility to the estate.
The property includes two substantial wings of outbuildings, former stables, several garages, a workshop, an historic dovecote, wood store, poultry house and two large barns of approximately 200 m² and 330 m² respectively.
A consecrated chapel adds a particularly distinctive element to the estate, while a separate 97 m² caretaker's house provides independent accommodation.
These buildings offer considerable scope for restoration and repurposing, subject to the necessary permissions. Their scale and variety could support additional accommodation, guest facilities, leisure spaces, working areas or other uses depending on the future vision for the property.
With its combination of historic architecture, extensive land and substantial ancillary buildings, the estate lends itself equally to a private family residence or to a carefully considered hospitality or events project, including a guest house, boutique hotel, private retreats, seminars or receptions.
THE SETTING
Located in the heart of Centre-Val de Loire, the château enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining conveniently connected to the surrounding towns and services.
Châteauroux is approximately 15 km away and Issoudun around 12 km, providing access to railway connections, shops and everyday amenities. Paris can be reached in approximately 2 to 3 hours.
The setting offers the balance increasingly sought by those looking for a historic country residence: complete privacy within extensive grounds, yet without sacrificing accessibility to regional centres and essential services.
A property of genuine character and considerable potential, the château presents an opportunity to restore a historic residence and its wider estate into a highly individual private retreat or an exceptional hospitality destination.
