Property summary
George Sand described this chateau as “paradise on earth….. vales, hills and water everything is a gift of nature” Sadly, through years of neglect, nature has somewhat taken over this magnificent property and its surrounding park of 88,700m2 (8.8 hectares/over 22 acres).
Built in 1870 this very attractive property has a square tower on the side and is charming and elegant with numerous windows and French doors to allow the beautiful light to enter each room. There is 360m² of living space on each floor on three floors.
The present owner has invested a lot of time, money and effort to bring it some way back to its former glory, leaving the cosmetic side of it to be finished. They have had numerous estimates and plans done to turn the property into an eleven bedroom, all en-suite property, keeping an extended living area with two living rooms, large dining room, library, etc. The plans and quotes are available to view when visiting the property.
The basement with its large vaulted cellars would house the scullery, the boiler room, the washroom and a games room.
The ground floor needs work throughout and includes an entrance hall, living room, dining room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, summer kitchen and bathroom.
On the first floor is a habitable apartment with two living rooms, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and wc. Also on this floor are a dining room, further kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The second floor is attic space in the eaves of around 360m2.
In the park there are some very attractive outbuildings, hangar, forge, stables garages etc. With proper planning permission these could be turned into more living accommodation if necessary.
There is no doubt that a fair amount of money and hard work will have to be spent to bring the property back to its former glory and this has been taken into account in the reasonable pricing of the property.
It is a gorgeous property full of charm and history, still filled with the presence of Madame George Sand and her entourage; perhaps Chopin or Listz played in the music room. Thorough research by the present owner offers an interesting historic of the place and the family since 1870.
It has to be visited to appreciate its true beauty and potential.
