Sologne - Elegant château at the heart of a remarkable woodland estate

Nestled in the heart of a remarkable woodland park and adjoining a vast private forest, this sublime Sologne château embodies the art of living in all its splendour. Here, silence is a sanctuary, not an absence, but the gentle breath of a majestic, unspoiled nature.

Built at the end of the 19th century at the request of the Marquis de Dreux-Brézé, this elegant château exudes a rare refinement. Its asymmetrical façades, two square towers, a round tower, a bow window, a grand terrace and a balcony, play with light and perspective, while its interiors, bathed in natural light, breathe sophistication: ornate mouldings, wood panelling, functional marble fireplaces, original parquet floors, encaustic cement tiles… Period features have been carefully preserved, while modern amenities blend in seamlessly: four bathrooms including one with a hydrotherapy bath, a fully equipped kitchen, fibre-optic broadband and a connected alarm system.

Spanning nearly 750 m² of living space across four levels, the property offers 25 rooms including up to 14 bedrooms, generous proportions and excellent scope for further customisation. The entire property is in outstanding condition, from the slate roof down to the cellars.

The art of Sologne living extends naturally outdoors. The 1.65-hectare landscaped park, fully enclosed, blends romance and formal design: century-old trees, an orchard, flower beds, shaded pathways and evening lighting. A heated saltwater swimming pool, sheltered beneath an elegant winter-garden-style glass canopy, completes this idyllic setting.

The property also benefits from a high-quality caretaker's cottage (4 bedrooms, sleeping up to 10), in perfect condition.

Rental opportunity of a hunting ground : The 208 hectares of land adjoining the property, not included in the sale, are subject to a hunting lease available for an annual amount of €17,800. This opportunity offers the buyer the possibility of extending their domain of use and hunting across a particularly game-rich territory. A rare privilege given the space and quality of hunting on offer. And a financial opportunity not to be overlooked: the forthcoming sale of this land could allow future owners to unite the château and forest into an ensemble whose overall value would far exceed the combined acquisition cost.

Finally, the property remains remarkably well connected: Paris is 200 km away, Sancerre just 30 minutes, and the countless châteaux of the Loire Valley are close at hand.
A rare property, where heritage, nature and the good life converge.
