Salbris, Centre-Val de Loire 41300

Detailed 50-page file on request. This magnificent chateau built in the late 19th century for the Marquis de Dreux-Brézé is set in peaceful leafy grounds bordering a vast privately-owned forest. Featuring an asymmetrical façade, two square towers, a round tower, a bow-window, a wide terrace and a balcony, it offers about 750 sqm of living space on floor floors including superb living and reception rooms, an equipped kitchen, four bathrooms and up to 14 bedrooms. Beautiful period features include working marble fireplaces, original parquet flooring, mouldings and cement floor tiles. The ensemble is in excellent condition, from the slate roof-tiles to the cellars. Fiber optics, alarm. Frances Sologne regions art-de-vivre is omnipresent in the extensive and entirely enclosed and floodlit grounds which boast centennial trees, flowerbeds, an orchard and shady paths. A heated salt-filter swimming pool with an elegant canopy completes the picture. The property also includes a perfectly maintained 4-bed caretakers house with a capacity for 10. 208 hectares of well-stocked adjacent land (not part of the sale) are available for rental for a reasonable annual tariff. The forthcoming sale of this land could allow future owners to unite the château and forest to create an ensemble whose overall value would far exceed the combined acquisition cost. 200 km from Paris, 30 minutes from Sancerre and a short distance from the Loire Valley chateaux.
