Ref.4498 : Chateau and its outbuildings for events in the Indre department
Less than 250 km south of Paris, Champagne Berrichonne is a land of gently rolling plains between the departments of Indre and Cher. Predominantly devoted to cereal growing, the region also boasts top-quality wine production, with the Reuilly and Quincy crus.
The region is ideally located in the centre of France, at the crossroads of the major motorways linking Brussels and Paris to Toulouse, and Geneva to Nantes via the Loire Valley.
Here, travellers will discover an open space dotted with châteaux and small towns with half-timbered houses, such as Issoudun, Vatan and Mehun-sur-Yèvre, the kingdom's short-lived capital.
Not far away, Bourges is a city of art and history, but also the centre of an economic area where the aeronautics and defence industries are particularly well represented. You'll love wandering around its historic shopping centre, between the Jacques-Coeur Palace, a masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic architecture, and Saint-Etienne's Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On the way back, a stop at one of Reuilly's wine cellars will give you the opportunity to organise a pleasant wine-tasting evening in the château's salons.

At the end of a long driveway lined with lime trees, a majestic black pine stands symbolic guard at the entrance to the estate. Behind it, the estate adopts the traditional U shape, with the Château and its outbuildings to the west, the guest house to the south and the former stables, still known as the Longère, to the east.
The château has two storeys plus attic space and a four-sided slate roof decorated with gabled dormers with pinnacles. This square building is flanked on the courtyard side by a square tower with a gable roof. In the centre of the facade, an entrance staircase adjoins a round, unfinished staircase tower, topped by a neo-Gothic machicolation and conical roof. Beyond this tower, the building runs perpendicular, with no continuity. This pseudo-wing ends in a projecting apse on the parkland side. On the opposite side, a simple round tower with a conical roof marks the south-west corner.
Adjoining the south side of the castle is a lower, zinc-roofed, single-storey building with attic space illuminated by gambrel dormers. These are the Communs, the living areas of which communicate with the castle, forming a single unit.

Back at the chateau's entrance stairway, the ground floor is accessed via a luminous entrance hall that leads on the left to a cloakroom with toilet and a corridor that runs alongside the study to the kitchen and then to the other utility rooms in the outbuildings (laundry room, boiler room, storeroom, storeroom). Back in the entrance hall, you pass into the large billiards room and then, on your left, into the dining room with its private sitting room in the tower or, on your right, into the large apsidal sitting room followed by its small music room. From the entrance, you can also reach the grand straight staircase leading to the first floor.
On the first floor, a parquet flooring corridor leads to five vast bedrooms, barely interrupted by a sitting room. Each bedroom has a bathroom with toilet, and some have a shower room. The corridor ends with the service staircase. This leads down to the kitchens, or, on the intermediate level, to the communal floor with its television lounge and three bedrooms, all similarly equipped.
Climbing back up the back staircase, you finally reach the second floor of the château, where you will find the vast meeting room, with its useful 50 sqm, a relaxation room and two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and toilets. All of this is under high attic ceilings.
The château's basement also contains a vast wine cellar under brick vaults and gravel. A tasting room has been installed here.

Outbuildings :
- The guest house, used as a gîte and restored in 2000, has a sitting room with wood-burning stove, a library, a modern kitchen, a shower room, a bedroom and a very large bathroom.
- La Longère has two flats and various sheds. The first, which is used as a gîte and whose ground floor was restored in 2020, comprises a living room with wood-burning stove, a modern kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom and, upstairs, a bedroom with bathroom. The second floor features a large lounge and, upstairs, two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.
Adjoining the farmhouse, but out of sight, is a large awning for storing wood and maintenance equipment.
- The Spa, installed in the 2000s, is a building that opens onto the grounds, with a large Jacuzzi on the ground floor and an upstairs office room that could be converted into a gym.
- The Coupole de réception, set a little way away from the château, has a reception room that can accommodate up to 200 seated guests, a professional warming room, a cloakroom, APMR toilets and a compulsory fire reserve. Tables and chairs are available for sale as an option.
- An open shed of around 100 sqm, hidden behind the farmhouse, can accommodate three cars or maintenance equipment.

The park covers around ten hectares and is a sort of large island in the middle of the Champagne berrichonne plains. Surrounded by this wooded area, more than 500 metres from the first houses, the property is not overlooked and is ideal for organising events without constraints.
The driveways running through the grounds are bordered by groves of Austrian black pines, while a large green square can be seen on the west side, offering a beautiful view from the gravelled terrace.
All this gives the property a vast yet intimate character, typical of the aristocratic residences of the Romantic period.
