About 1h20 from Paris near Sens in Burgundy, this 17th-century chateau sits on 60 hectares (148 acres) of land, with another 95 hectares (235 acres) of leased farmland.
Set above the Somme River near Abbeville (1h40 from Paris), this 18th-century pink-brick residence is positioned atop a series of terraces with century-old greenhouses—each nearly 100 metres (328 feet) long—among the largest in private ownership in France.
This château was built in 1910 in the style of 18th-century French neoclassicism, specifically the Château de Bellevue, which was commissioned by King Louis XV for his mistress, Madame de Pompadour.
In the Haute-Marne, a classical château has quietly changed hands — and it’s no surprise. A classical residence with intact gardens, year-round habitability, and a private island setting — and all under €1M — seldom lingers on the market.
Restoring this chateau to its former glory is no small feat, but for the right buyer, it’s a dream come true as the property has been largely untouched.
