Great views
This magnificent castle is a medieval fortress paired with a leisure chateau, conveniently located halfway between Valence and Grenoble in the Isère department. Access to the property is exceptionally easy, and its secluded setting, with no opposite neighbours, ensures complete privacy and tranquillity.
The current owners have lovingly renovated this exceptional property, recreating a warm and inviting atmosphere while preserving the authenticity and historical charm of its ten centuries of history. The castle stands proudly on a rocky peak above the Isère River, impressing with its architectural grandeur: corner turrets with glazed roofs, machicolations, a drawbridge, dry moats, and monumental chimneys.
Surrounded by a 5-hectare park with century-old trees and a beautifully manicured French garden, the property also features a swimming pool, river, ponds, and a waterfall. Partly listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments, the castle enjoys a charming environment enhanced by the sounds of numerous springs.
Once you cross the old drawbridge, you'll feel protected by the moats and cliffs while enjoying breathtaking views of the Isère River and the Vercors mountains. The entire estate would make a remarkable film set.
Inside, the main building offers approximately 300 square meters per level, with two more significant attic levels that can be converted. The ground floor features two spacious living rooms (90 sq.m and 42 sq.m), a huge kitchen and dining room, bathrooms, and an office. The first floor boasts six large bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a chapel adorned with 17th-century frescoes.
Two large towers, one partly fitted out (65 sq.m room), complete the ensemble, along with two vaulted cellars and four levels awaiting further development. A rare feature for a fortified castle, the large openings made in the 17th century ensure that all rooms are bright and enjoy perfect exposure from sunrise to sunset.
Outside the castle, an independent house has been completely renovated and transformed into a gîte (85 sq.m) for four people. It includes a garage (12 sq.m), an office (15 sq.m), a WC (10 sq.m), a storage room, and a cellar. Several other annexes could also be restored.
This rare property offers a unique blend of history, luxury, and natural beauty, making it an ideal retreat or a stunning backdrop for special events.
