This French château is on the market for €5,250,000 listed with Kretz Family Real Estate.

Nestled in the idyllic landscapes of Normandy, France, this meticulously restored 18th-century château is a living testament to the architectural opulence of a bygone era.

Originally built in 1735, the property showcases the quintessence of Regency period design, with a symmetrical façade, two-level white stone construction, and a distinctive Mansard roof.

The 11-bedroom château seamlessly blends classical aesthetics with contemporary comfort, complete with guest apartments and an indoor swimming pool.

Notable period details include a dining room adorned with an eagle-embellished stone fireplace and a music room featuring Rocaille woodwork in waxed oak.

The North wing features a stylish gallery-turned-kitchen, while the South wing houses a billiard room and an impeccably preserved Baroque chapel.

Beyond the main residence, the estate's outbuildings date back to the 16th century and include a half-timbered dovecote, pigeonry, and stables adorned with wooden sculptures.

Set within 50 acres of private grounds, the meticulously landscaped park seamlessly integrates formal elements, including 2 km of box hedges, with expansive rolling sections.

Just 1 hour and 40 minutes from Paris and 45 minutes from Deauville.
