At the heart of Perche, 2h from Paris, an iconic 16th and 17th-century historical monument estate, once the fief of the Governor of Bellême, perched on a commanding hill within a registered natural site, comprises a fortified castle dominated by its keep and five towers, surrounded by moats, overlooking a 16th-century manor with three towers and a renovated wing for receptions.
The castle, with approximately 1,430 square meters of living space, features historic 18th-century salons on the ground floor, and on the upper level, eleven bedrooms with four bathrooms and a chapel. It is surrounded by various outbuildings: a manor for courtyard use, a pigeon house awaiting restoration, a caretaker’s house, a kennel, barns, and more.
The entire property, peacefully situated on approximately 42 hectar of land, including 18 hectar of woods and 14 hectar of open fields, boasts a delightful landscaped English garden enclosed by walls, featuring a beautiful orangery, greenhouses, a sheepfold, a certified cedar tree, and a pond.
The castle, in good overall condition, has undergone high-quality restoration work while preserving its historical elements (woodwork, alcoves, parquet floors, fireplaces, etc.), all while enhancing comfort with modern amenities (heat pump, thermodynamic water heaters, partial double glazing, insulation, etc.). It also offers luxury features such as a heated swimming pool, a gym, an ERP room, and exceptional views.
This estate is a rare example of a grand 17th-century castle in the Perche region, where the Grand Dauphin, shon of Louis XIV once came to hunt.
