Overview

Deep in the heart of the Cher, where the Loire’s gentle currents have carved centuries of history into the land, a neo-Gothic masterpiece stands sentinel—its turrets kissing the sky, its stone walls cradling secrets of the 16th and 19th centuries. This is not merely a château; it is a living poem, a sanctuary where time slows and elegance breathes.

Hidden from the world’s prying eyes, the castle emerges like a dream from a five-hectare forest, its ancient oaks and towering pines forming a cathedral of green. Here, sunlight filters through leaves in golden shards, dancing across 1173 square meters of meticulously restored grandeur. Thirty rooms—sixteen chambers of whispered confidences, seven salons where candlelight flickers against carved ceilings, and four vast reception halls awaiting laughter and champagne—unfold across four levels, each space a symphony of purpose and grace. And at its heart, a chapel stands in quiet reverence, its stained glass casting jewel-toned stories upon the flagstones below.

This is a place for gatherings that linger in memory: a wedding beneath the stars in the secluded park, a family Christmas where firelight warms the great hall, or a summer evening where the scent of lavender drifts through open windows. Yet it is also a retreat for solitude, where the rustle of leaves and the distant call of an owl become your only companions.

Just ten minutes from the charm of village life—where bakeries offer warm baguettes and cafés hum with conversation—and a mere two and a half hours from Paris, this château is both an escape and a gateway. It is a legacy waiting to be written, a canvas for a life lived in beauty, where every dawn over the Aubois valley feels like the first page of a new chapter.

For those who seek more than a home—a kingdom of quiet majesty, where the past and present entwine—this is your sanctuary.
