Castle Étampes - 9 bedrooms - 650m²

Ref 4945: Château with numerous outbuildings for sale in the Loiret, near Étampes

This remarkable property is situated in the north of the Loiret, on the borders of the “Beauce Riche” and the Juine valley, just 65 kilometres from Paris, and benefits from the strong appeal of the Île-de-France region.

The estate is just 20 minutes from Étampes, with its railway station served by the RER C, among other services, and around one hour from Paris by road. Malesherbes station, served by the RER D to Paris-Gare de Lyon, is another rail option.

Everyday shops and services are available nearby, less than 5 km away, while Pithiviers, around 20 minutes away, offers a wider range of shops and services. The village also retains its local amenities, including a bakery and weekly market.

This location offers a private and peaceful setting while remaining well connected to Paris and the main road network. Nearby, the landscapes of the Juine valley, the estates and châteaux of Essonne and the Loiret, and the region’s characterful villages make this a particularly desirable setting for a family home, a country retreat or an investment property.

Set on a north–south axis and occupying an elevated position above a small valley, the château is arranged in an elegant T-plan. Its architectural composition combines a main section of exposed dressed stone with two side towers whose rendered façades are finished in a salmon hue and framed by dressed-stone quoins. The whole is crowned by slate roofs punctuated with dormer windows.

The main house comprises a lower-ground floor, a raised ground floor, a principal floor and a converted attic level. The façades are punctuated by generous windows, with horizontal string courses marking the different floors and lending the building a pleasing architectural symmetry.

A broad, masonry-lined dry moat, planted with fruit trees, surrounds the courtyard. This feature, which is central to the character of the estate, bears witness to its history and recalls the property’s defensive origins.

From the courtyard, the raised ground floor is reached via an imposing double straight-flight external staircase with an elegant stone balustrade. This leads to a spacious landing, also bordered by a balustrade, which forms the château’s formal entrance.

With approximately 650 m² of living space, the château is arranged as follows:

**Raised ground floor:** Accessible from the lower-ground floor or directly from the inner courtyard via the monumental staircase, this floor is centred around an attractive entrance hall leading to the reception rooms.

To the left, a remarkable drawing room features a Versailles parquet floor, wall panelling and a marble fireplace, and is complemented by a billiard room.

To the right, the entrance hall leads to an elegant music room of around 35 m², with a ceiling height of 3.50 m, exposed painted beams and a wooden fireplace. A modern fitted kitchen, a library of around 25 m² that also serves as a study and features herringbone parquet, and a dining room of around 30 m² complete this floor. A WC and service staircase complete the layout.

The first floor, reached via the main staircase in the far half of the entrance hall, has a landing leading to a sitting room of around 26 m² and five bedrooms, each with its own shower room and WC, providing comfort and privacy for residents and guests.

**Attic level:** Partly converted, this floor offers four additional bedrooms, a bathroom and a WC.

A spacious attic provides an opportunity to admire the building’s remarkable roof frame and offers further potential, depending on the intended project.

**Lower-ground floor:** This floor has a spacious corridor leading to the former kitchens, which retain their distinctive cabochon-tile flooring, as well as a utility room, an indoor well, a fruit store, a pantry and a boiler room.

This floor also includes a former vaulted cellar with a fireplace and bread oven, as well as a wine cellar. A staircase connects it to the upper floors.

Harmoniously arranged at the four cardinal points of the estate, the numerous outbuildings offer a wide variety of uses and scope to enhance the property and provide additional facilities alongside the main residence, whether for a residential, heritage or events project.

The outbuildings comprise:

A/ A caretaker’s house

B/ The miller’s house

C/ The former mill

D/ Two elegant pavilions

E/ The service buildings

F/ A dovecote

G/ A barn

**A/ The caretaker’s house**

To the west, close to the main entrance, the caretaker’s house provides independent accommodation in need of updating. The ground floor comprises a sitting room, a kitchen, a bedroom and bathroom facilities, with two further bedrooms and a shower room upstairs. The building has gas heating supplied by a tank. The slate roof is in serviceable condition. The windows are timber-framed double glazing, with PVC windows upstairs, while the ground floor retains single-glazed windows.

**B/ The miller’s house**

Situated to the north of the château, in a setting below which a small river flows, the miller’s house has its own independent access from the public road. The ground floor comprises a kitchen, a WC with utility area and a sitting room. The first floor has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a WC, while the second floor offers three bedrooms, a shower room and a WC.

The house has mixed wood and electric heating, single-glazed timber windows and an independent drainage system. Its slate roof is in serviceable condition.

**C/ The former mill**

The former mill is one of the estate’s most distinctive buildings. Built of rendered rubble masonry, it retains its oak roof frame as well as components of the former wheel mechanism.

It includes a barn of around 80 m², various rooms and service areas, and a spacious room of around 115 m² on the first floor, above which is an attic level of the same area. The slate roof, approximately thirty years old, is in serviceable condition.

This ensemble offers a particularly appealing setting for a guest house or events project.

**D/ The two elegant pavilions**

South of the château, a terraced lawn enclosed by retaining walls is flanked by two elegant pavilions. The first houses a former dovecote, in which bathroom facilities have been installed. The second provides a small, independent home comprising a sitting room, a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom and a WC.

**E/ The service buildings**

This remarkable range of service buildings stands opposite the two pavilions, together forming a courtyard that marks the boundary with the neighbouring property. The neighbouring property owns part of this building, but this arrangement does not detract from the estate’s private and peaceful character.

The range includes numerous cellars, storage rooms, garages and workshop areas. Two spacious areas of around 100 m² and 90 m² offer particularly interesting potential, with some work, for the creation of reception or event spaces.

**F/ The dovecote**

To the east of the estate stands one of its most remarkable structures: an imposing dovecote, now without its roof, which retains around 3,500 nesting boxes.

This exceptional number bears witness to the importance and extent of the former seigneurial estate and gives the building genuine heritage value.

**G/ The barn**

A barn measuring approximately 11 × 10 m completes this fine ensemble.

**LAND**

The estate extends over approximately 12 hectares of land, entirely enclosed by walls totalling almost 2 kilometres in length. Remarkably well preserved and maintained, these walls are an exceptional heritage feature and provide the property with highly sought-after privacy and seclusion.

South of the château, within this protected enclosure, a spacious terraced lawn bordered by stone retaining walls offers remarkable views from the château.

Below, it gives way to an orchard with plum, cherry, apple and pear trees, as well as fig trees, and a kitchen garden, accessible via an elegant double-flight stone staircase.

The succession of terraces, walls and plantings creates a structured and harmonious landscape, whose geometric lines and vistas make for an elegant and delightful setting.

To the east, a swimming pool area blends naturally into the park, next to a small woodland that provides shade and privacy.

The rest of the park unfolds in a more natural, wooded setting, crossed by a river fed by several substantial springs. The presence of these flowing waters, combined with the variety of landscapes, gives the estate a distinctive geographical and scenic character and contributes greatly to its rarity.

With its varied spaces, the estate is well suited to use as a principal residence or country retreat, and also offers scope for developing an events business.
