DESCRIPTION

EXCLUSIVITY OF THE AGENCY COMPTOIR IMMOBILIER de France

BETWEEN AUBENAS AND ALES - ARDECHE PLEIN-SUD - NEXT TO THE GROTTE CHAUVET AND THE PONT D'ARC.

Close to the 84 km "Via Ardèche" greenway and a stone's throw from the confluence of the ARDECHE and CHASSEZAC rivers.

Large historic building complex converted over 30 years ago into tourist accommodation with gîtes, swimming pools and function room.

With a total living area of 1,114 m², the Château now offers 11 fully renovated and equipped flats on 2 levels, ranging in size from 85.7 m² for the largest to 18.5 m² for the smallest. The ground floor features more than 340 m2 of event space, including a magnificent 136 m2 glassed-in reception room.

With a total surface area of 602 m², the Résidence now offers 11 flats on two levels, ranging in size from 37 m2 to 74 m2. Each flat has a large private terrace overlooking the swimming pools, park and château.

The former sheepfold has been converted into a home with a large living room on the ground floor and 3 bedrooms on the first floor, WC, shower room over 106 m2, and large private terrace.

This vast complex, which extends over almost 2.5 hectares and offers more than 1,820 m2 of living space spread over 3 different dwellings, is first and foremost a witness to history.

As far back as the early Middle Ages, in the 13th century, the first fortress was built on the rock of Sampzon, and these were the beginnings of this magnificent château.

During the 16th century, this fortress was the result of hostilities between Catholics and Protestants, with both sides fighting over the stronghold.

Partly destroyed during the wars of religion, the castle became Protestant property at the very beginning of the 17th century, and the castle tower was rebuilt at that time. Numerous other works were undertaken, financed by the church and the nobility.

Unfortunately, the various occupations and natural erosion have left few traces of medieval occupation of the castle on the Rocher de Sampzon.

Today, the castle is a large rectangular dwelling, flanked on the south by two circular corner turrets, and in the middle of one of the facades by a square keep. New dwellings were added to the north of the building in the 16th century, drowning out the previously flanking keep. A fine bossed watchtower in the north-west corner has been preserved.

Today, Sampzon castle remains a witness to the past, anchored in its landscape. It towers above the River Ardèche, proud of its marks of time, revealing all the eras it has passed through through its mix of architecture, making it a noble and unique building in its own right.

A great opportunity for a tourist reception project, year-round co-ownership residences, or simply to treat yourself!
