Baroquer manor near Chaumont - 12,35 acres baroque garden, Haute-Marne

Exclusive Listing by Denniel Immobilier – 2.5 hours from Paris 
An elegant and exquisite early 18th-century château, attributed to renowned architect and sculptor Jean-Baptiste Bouchardon (1667-1742), located on a stunning island in the heart of the Marne River. Surrounded by a magical, enchanting garden, this exceptional property offers 5 hectares of land and 6 bedrooms. 

Property Features: 
This château, established as a marquisate in 1745, exudes the grace and refinement of the 18th century. The property uniquely blends architectural elegance with its beautifully designed gardens, both crafted by Bouchardon. The structure showcases classic 18th-century light limestone ashlar architecture with balanced symmetry, highlighted by two identical facades—one facing the courtyard and the other the garden. These facades are ideally oriented east-west, ensuring that the château is bathed in sunlight throughout the day. 

The ground floor offers magnificent views of the garden through large windows in each room. The space includes a spacious entrance hall, a stunning gallery with original woodwork, a grand living room with a marble fireplace, and a formal dining room, all elegantly designed. The kitchen, utility room, winter dining room, and beautiful library lounge with oak paneling add to the château's charm. The property includes 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 3 toilets, and additional rooms such as a dressing room and linen room. 

The garden level features a winter garden facing the river, multiple workshops, a large car garage, a vaulted wine cellar, and more. The large attic space of approximately 350m² offers potential for conversion.

Gardens & Grounds:
The 18th-century French garden designed by Bouchardon in 1736 is an architectural masterpiece, with symmetrical paths, topiary yews, boxwood, and hedges. To the west, the contemporary garden includes Bouchardon's grand arcades, a medieval dovecote, an orchard, vegetable garden, and an open-air theater. The stream along the property borders a pavilion with stone pilasters, creating an idyllic setting.
