The Property
Set high above the Aron valley between Nevers and Château-Chinon, this historic estate occupies a bend in the Canal du Nivernais. It brings together a 15th-century château, a smaller 17th-century château and a 13th-century defensive tower. The grounds extend to just over five hectares, with views across the Nièvre countryside.
The main château offers approximately 1,200 sqm and 15 bedrooms. A spiral staircase in the entrance tower leads to the principal reception rooms, including a drawing room with a painted beamed ceiling, a panelled music room and a library with Chantilly parquet. A vaulted kitchen and two dining rooms occupy the ground floor.
The smaller château offers approximately 800 sqm and eight bedrooms. Its 132 sqm vaulted reception hall has a ceiling nearly six metres high. The building also includes a hammam, a caretaker’s apartment and terraces opening onto the grounds. A heated outdoor pool lies on its western side. The medieval tower has been converted into a separate one-bedroom residence.
An English-style park gives way to woodland paths, a formal garden on the upper terrace and a contemporary water garden designated a Jardin Remarquable. The main château, outbuildings, circular tower and gardens include features protected under the Monuments Historiques listing.
