Elegant 17-19th centuries chateau 30 mins. from Nevers

This property is located 2.5 hours from Paris, in Burgundy, 30 mins. from Nevers and its railway station, 6 km (3.75 miles) from all shops and services. It features a 17th century chateau, enlarged during the 19th century, with a large outbuilding, on 13 ha (32.2 acres) of grounds with gardens, woods, 3 springs, a small river, a small pond, a tennis court and a swimming pool.

The back side of the chateau was built during the 17 and 18th centuries with some prior inner details.

The chateau was built during the 17th century, modified during the 18th and enlarged in the 19th century. It is made of stone with a slate roofing, offers 2 levels and partially converted attics and more than 900 sq. mt. (9,684 sq. ft.) of total space (c.a. 600 sq. mt. - 6,456 sq. ft. of living space). It is in very good general condition (roofing; wiring and plumbing renewed) and benefited from recent inner renovation works.

The eastern side of the chateau: the 19th century part with 2 hexagonal towers.


The southern side opens onto the grounds and the ancient drive leading to the chateau.	The main entrance.

The second wing, built before, features a dining room (probably dating from the 18th century), a large equipped kitchen (probably built during the 17th century) with stone floor and ancient stone fireplace, a secondary kitchen with a baker's oven, a laundry room and a secondary staircase.
