Château en Bourgogne

A Majestic Retreat in Seclusion

Tucked in the southwest of Burgundy, not far from the Loire River, this 19th-century château offers privacy, maturity, and depth—a property surrounded by towering trees and soft sunlight, bordered by a winding river and just 1.5 hours from Paris. Accessible via a private lane and hidden behind layers of old growth, the property unfolds with quiet grace.

The château spans approximately 400 m² over two luminous levels, where original woodwork, 18th-century fireplaces, tall windows, and French doors evoke a life lived with care and elegance. A central stairwell in carved oak draws the eye upward, while secondary staircases in the tower add a touch of drama. Rooms spill one into another—library, salon, kitchen, a soaring hall, and generous bedrooms, including several with en-suite baths.

A few thoughtful highlights:

  • 9 bedrooms across upper floors
  • Grand reception rooms with period details
  • Tower access with additional rooms on the uppermost level
  • Stone cellars, machine rooms, and a wine cave
  • Private two-car garage

Outdoors, the parkland is alive with character: an avenue of maples, old oaks, poplars, a ginkgo, Italian weeping willows, and rare evergreens. The river runs along 60 meters of boundary, quietly tracing the landscape.

A compelling opportunity for anyone dreaming of a family estate, guest house conversion, or a peaceful return to slow living within reach of the city.
