Neo-Gothic Chateau in Normandy, France

This property is on the market for €3,990,000, listed with Emile Garcin.

The French chateau is set in 25 acres of enchanting grounds within the serene and picturesque landscape of the Eure, just 1 hour and 40 minutes away from the bustling city of Paris.

Designed by a close collaborator of the renowned Viollet-le-Duc, the neo-Gothic castle offers approximately 13,000 sq ft of living space spread over four levels, seamlessly blending modern amenities with the charm of a bygone era.

The chateau features fine reception rooms with a fireplace, beautiful parquet floors, and intricately carved panelling and doors, alongside coffered ceilings.

There are 7 bedrooms on the first floor and the second and third floors have been restored, but remain empty.

The chateau's enchanting grounds are a spectacle in themselves, featuring a river meandering through the landscape, charming bridges, and an island that adds to the property's allure.

A heated saltwater swimming pool and pool house, along with a tennis court, provide ample opportunities for recreation, making the estate an ideal retreat for both relaxation and entertainment.

The estate includes an old mill in need of restoration, a guest house (or caretaker’s cottage), outbuildings, some of which have been converted into living quarters, a kennel, and a dove cote.

Despite its secluded location in a listed hamlet, this neo-Gothic chateau is conveniently located, being just 50 minutes from Deauville, 45 minutes from Rouen, and 40 minutes from Pont-l'Évêque. This proximity to key destinations makes it an ideal retreat for those seeking a perfect blend of privacy and accessibility.
