Chateau in Three Hectares of Parkland Gardens

One of the most emblematic Chateaux in the canton of Chateauneuf-sur-Loire is looking for a new owner, could it be you? We invite you to become the next master of the place, in other words, the future "Lord of Vaux". But before donning your castellan's clothes, let yourself be guided and let's discover your future domain.

It is through an avenue lined with ancient trees that you will enter the main courtyard of the castle. In front of you, the imposing and noble building entirely clad in bricks looks down on you from the full height of its still-present towers.

Built by the Bridiers family at the end of the 15th century, the Chateau de Vaux clearly imposes itself. Of the Renaissance building, only the square plan and three of the four corner towers remain, one of which has retained its slate roof.

The central living area, fitted out later, harmoniously connects the whole.

On the rear facade of the chateau, the remains of a mullioned window and the old drawbridge bear witness to the identity of the place, as does a part of the feudal moat that has been preserved.

These moving vestiges of a centuries-old past will delight those who are interested in history and architecture.

Proudly built in the heart of a magnificent estate of more than 3 hectares including a heated swimming pool and some outbuildings, the Chateau de Vaux will offer you exceptional accommodation.

You will thus benefit from nearly 500 m2 of living space including two apartments of 100 m2 each as well as an open space of more than 80 m2. You will be able to enjoy a total of 11 bedrooms of 12 to 15 m2, recently furnished, most of which benefit from a private bathroom with toilet. What can be said about the 16 m2 kitchen fitted out in one of the towers and a 95 m2 reception room (63m2 & 32m2) with a monumental fireplace as in the immense 55 m2 entrance hall.

Failing to realise a princess and prince's dream, the qualities and equipment of this rare property will undoubtedly satisfy a large family for an intergenerational home and/or many visitors in search of an unusual stay, will be able to treat themselves to an enchanting and enchanted interlude.

The Chateau de Vaux is clearly an extraordinary place, steeped in history, whose old stones whisper in the ears of attentive visitors. "Inanimate objects, do you then have a soul?" as the poet asked.

A Chateau that is "worth" being interested in for a great and beautiful life project. History lovers or heads of XXL families.
