Aerial photography gives a general idea of the estate, showing harmoniously the architecture of both "grand siecle" and the graceful forms of the Restauration period (1814-1830).
The main building of the chateau is named the Mansard Pavilion due to its recognizable roof structure.
The estate is entirely walled as shown above and on next page, and is made of:
1. the chateau itself, a fortified 8th century farmhouse which was improved along the centuries, especially in the early 1800's by a Napoleon Army retired general who added the Mansard Pavilion to the original farmhouse structure.
2. the tower built in the mid-19th century which by itself made a wonderfully romantic, liveable two bedrooms with full bathroom guest house; the stables, garages and henhouses.
3. a newly rebuilt manor with all modern facilities, which is ready to be finalized in terms of finishing touch, paint colors and other accessories to match the taste of its new owners. That structure in located on the estate, on the upper right section of next page map. Photos are available by clicking here. The manor is made of five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, 1 study, 3 terrasses, 2 logias, a grand room with a monumental fireplace, 1 kitchen, 1 dining room, 1 living room, 2 garages, one very large antique arched ceiling cellar.
4. a five bedroom, two full bathrooms independent house that can be rented or used by guardians. The house is located between the stables and the main garages.
Each of these above three structures -chateau/tower, manor and house- is fully independent of the other two in terms of heating (all having their own oil/wood burning furnaces), water supply (all have their own well), and water/waste treatement (each structure has its own septic system which released 100% pure water into the local stream far away from the property's wells).
