This Restored Medieval Castle on 600+ Acres is 45 Minutes from Paris

Operated as a luxury hotel and events venue with five-star services, Château de Farcheville is one of the most significant medieval castles for sale in France. On the market with Sotheby’s International Realty France for €26,250,000 (approx. $30.58M), the property offers the rare chance to live like nobility in your own fortified estate just outside Paris.

Built between 1290 and 1304 for the Bouville family—chamberlains to King Philip IV—the castle is among the few surviving rural “open-filled” medieval fortresses in the country. It underwent a 14-year restoration under the direction of a master architect of historic monuments, with work carried out by France’s leading heritage craftsmen to preserve its 13th-century architecture while integrating modern infrastructure.

The château spans more than 64,500 square feet and includes 19 double rooms, three dining rooms, four kitchens, a 600 m² orangery, a spa, and a consecrated 13th-century chapel. A 25-metre (82-foot) indoor pool is set beneath a 19th-century Beaux-Arts–style glass and wrought-iron canopy reminiscent of the Grand Palais.

Leisure facilities are as refined as the architecture: a plush velvet-clad theater for private screenings, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a tennis court, pétanque court, and 10 hectares (25 acres) of formal gardens within 600 acres of landscaped grounds and hunting forest.

Located 45 minutes from Paris, this French château offers both private retreat and commercial potential, with permits pending for up to 40 additional suites. The listing notes potential full-year sales in the €5–6 million range, making it as viable for luxury hospitality as it is for private ownership.
