We would like to introduce you to this exceptional property in the heart of France - Loire Valley, just two hours drive from Paris. This immaculately maintained chateau in Neo-Gothic and Renaissance style, listed as a historic monument, is a testament to excellent architectural craftsmanship.
The chateau was built between 1887 and 1893, commissioned by Roger Baron Eugene and designed by the renowned architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur. It embodies a harmonious blend of neo-Gothic and Renaissance elements and is a showcase of Destailleur's unique vision and craftsmanship. The grandeur of the chateau is evident from the moment you step over its threshold.
Passing through the imposing entrance hall, boasting high ceilings with ornate moldings and magnificent chandeliers, the sense of opulence and grandeur is immediate and pervasive. From the hall one enters the main reception room, the drawing room, the chapel, the library, the chess and billiards rooms, the music room, the formal dining room and the conservatory overlooking the park. The sumptuous features include majestic fireplaces, which are period reproductions of fireplaces in the royal residences of King Francis I, as well as meticulously crafted furniture and magnificent painted ceilings. A stunning staircase, a true masterpiece in itself, leads to the three upper floors, which house an 18th-century boudoir, a bespoke dressing room, a master suite, a Chinese-style bedroom and a Gothic-style bedroom, as well as 21 bedrooms and suites with beautifully appointed bathrooms that boast particularly elegant decorative touches. The fitted basement includes a magnificent fully equipped kitchen, an excellent wine cellar, pantry, two additional kitchens, a gymnasium, utility room, coal room, a series of lifts that are designed to transport food and a remarkable system of transport trolleys.
There is a second (smaller) château in Novolouis XIII style on the estate, whose main features are brick and stone, which was built as a guest house and which could provide additional accommodation once renovated. There is also an elegant caretaker's cottage.
The perfectly maintained and enclosed grounds of 51 hectares with formal and informal areas were designed by the renowned 19th century garden architect Henri Duchêne. His expertise in creating harmonious and picturesque outdoor spaces contributed to the creation of the gardens and park, which complement the unique grandeur of the chateau. This is a truly exceptional property, both for its remarkable architectural style and for its elegant, sophisticated and timeless interior.
