A listed 18th-century château with medieval origins, outhouses and grounds, tucked away on the hills of France’s Drôme department, in the south-east of the country. Back in the 10th century, a motte-and-bailey castle stood on this site. Over the course of the 12th and 13th centuries, this castle became a veritable fortress. Later, at the end of the Middle Ages, in was extensively redesigned. And in the 17th century it became a pleasure château. The château is rectangular in shape with an adjoining tower at each corner and a square keep that adjoins the northern elevation. It offers a 720m² floor area and has a ground floor, a first floor, a second floor and a third floor. A straight driveway runs through the grounds to the outhouses, which are set back. There is a former stable, an orangery, a barn and a woodstore. They are arranged around a courtyard.
I was trying to find an “inexpensive” château to feature today but this one is so pretty inside and out and the photos are actually decent, so I had to share. Classic château living, for €2,300,000 via Patrice Besse.
