84-ha listed historic estate – 17th-century château, prestigious event venue and exceptional hotel potential

Engel & Völkers exclusively presents a listed historic estate of 84 hectares: a 17th-century château built on an ancient feudal mound, embodying nearly a thousand years of French history and heritage. Dominated by a 12th-century medieval tower and its water-filled moat, the site offers an architectural presence of rare intensity. The classical château, built under the Gouffier family, Marquises of Carabas, forms part of a prestigious historical lineage associated with the legend of Puss in Boots. The main château offers approximately 2,600 m² of living space, complemented by a keep of around 600 m², providing exceptional volumes and significant conversion potential for a very high-end hotel or residential project. The estate is already operated as a prestigious events destination, hosting weddings, upscale receptions and private events, confirming its natural vocation as a place of hospitality and entertaining. The park, laid out in the tradition of French formal gardens, comprises ornamental gardens, a vegetable garden, an orchard and an arboretum, punctuated by remarkable outbuildings such as the orangery, the dovecote and the pavilion, reinforcing the site’s multifunctional character. Fully listed as a Historic Monument, the estate combines heritage protection, existing operations and strong development potential, offering an ideal base for expanding an events business or creating a destination hotel project. Its rare layout allows flexible use, from intimate receptions to large-scale events. An exceptional asset completes this property: the possibility of helicopter access, enhancing its exclusive and discreet character. A living heritage asset, already recognized, combining history, prestige and strategic value-enhancement potential, intended for clients seeking exceptional places with a strong identity.
