Description of the property
Just 65 kilometers from Paris via the A10 motorway, nestled in the heart of 60 hectares of landscaped parkland, this magnificent Renaissance château embodies the grandeur and timeless elegance of French art de vivre.
Surrounded by moats and adorned with six towers and turrets, the château rises majestically amid formal French gardens enhanced by a vast ornamental pond. Built in 1543 for Étienne Poncher, Archbishop of Tours, on the site of a former medieval fortress, the property was gracefully restored in the 19th century, preserving its authentic architectural character.
Transformed in the 1980s into a five-star luxury hotel, this extraordinary estate harmoniously combines historic prestige and contemporary potential. Ideally suited for a luxury hospitality, event, or private residential project, the property offers an exceptional setting less than one hour from the capital.
Estate Highlights:
- The Main Château – Approximately 3,500 m² of living space across three levels, showcasing exquisite Renaissance details.
- The “Trianon” Pavilion – An elegant 500 m² guest residence.
- The Former Stables – “Salle des Trophées” – Perfectly suited for receptions and private events.
- The Gatekeeper’s House featuring a remarkable 14th-century stone archway.
- Additional outbuildings, complementing the ensemble.
The estate also features an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts in need of renovation, and a building permit for 17 discreet villas nestled within the forested grounds — offering a rare development opportunity within this historic setting.
A truly unique property — steeped in history, designed for the future.
Only 40 minutes from Massy TGV station (connections to Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lille) and 45 minutes from Orly Airport, this exceptional château offers a rare opportunity to experience a refined lifestyle less than an hour from Paris.
