We offer for sale a charming 19th-century château, a true haven that combines classical elegance with modern comfort. 

This property wonderfully blends the history and charm of a bygone era with a living environment that invites relaxation and conviviality. 

The architecture of this historic estate, defined by understated elegance and rare sophistication, is inspired by 17th-century French mannerism and refined through the interpretation of the Second Empire. The château presents itself like a grand pleasure pavilion, with a façade framed by two side projections that form an honor terrace. Corner quoins and stone window frames lend an aristocratic touch, while the dormer windows with triangular pediments and the slate roof in the “à la Mansart” style add undeniable majesty to the building. 

Inside, elegance continues with oak and poplar flooring, marble fireplaces, wood paneling, paneled doors, and finely sculpted cornices. The ground floor features an entryway leading to two spacious salons, a library, a kitchen, a laundry room, and restrooms, all connected by a hallway with arcades. On the upper floor, you’ll find a large landing, four generous bedrooms, as well as bathrooms and showers. The second, simpler upper floor follows the same layout and also offers a landing, four bedrooms, and a large shower room.

The château is surrounded by a vast terrace, ideal for potted plants, especially citrus trees, and bordered by a balustrade leading to a lovely esplanade – perfect for outdoor meals during the sunny months. The park, beautifully landscaped with chestnuts, oaks, and Lebanon cedars, is a true green paradise. These trees, planted at the time the château was built, thrive in the “between light and shadow” style, truly reflecting the spirit of the Belle Époque.

The château is in impeccable condition, offering the best of both worlds: the authenticity of a fascinating era combined with modern comfort. Just 25 minutes from the nearest beaches and 30 minutes from a stunning golf course, it’s ideal for both a second home or year-round living. A preferred location for those seeking tranquility, charm, and history.
