Restored French Chateau and Country Estate in the Rhône-Alpes
The French chateau offers total privacy in a tranquil setting, nestled in unspoiled countryside in Vercors, with stunning views over the foothills of the Alps in the south-east of France.
The original structure dates back to the Middle Ages in the year 1000, with the present-day chateau rebuilt in the 19th century.
The current owners carried out an extensive 10-year restoration to bring back the original appearance of a seventeenth century residence, typical of the Vercors Massif.
In addition to incorporating authentic materials (seen in the woodwork, parquet flooring, and cut-stone fireplaces) the French chateau was also upgraded with modern amenities like economic underfloor heating.
Offering approximately 9687 sq ft of interior space, the main chateau has several elegant reception rooms and 5 ensuite bedrooms, as well as unique shower rooms located in the towers.
An enclosed cobbled courtyard provides a range out outbuildings with garages which include 3 restored, independent guest suites, a pottery atelier with oven, and a gym with sauna and an outside spa. The chateau also has a swimming pool.
Set in an area renowned for its natural beauty and rugged landscapes, the 111-acre estate comes with extensive woodland and parkland with gaming rights, and a private airstrip.
The French property for sale is less than 2 miles from the local village, 45 minutes from Grenoble, and 1.5 hours from Lyon Saint Exupery International airport.
