Restored Chateau in Central France
The historic chateau is set in the heart of its 101 acre estate near the cities of Bourges and Vierzon, just 2 hours from Paris.
The property was commissioned for the Marquis de Bozas and built from 1893 to 1897 by French architect Albert-Félix-Théophile Thomas, one of the architects of the Grand Palais in Paris.
Built as a grand residence dedicated to hunting with hounds, the facade of the chateau is early 17th century in style, with the chateau flanked by the former stables and orangerie, creating a cour d'honneur at the front of the property.
The rear of the chateau has a monumental staircase, which leads to a terrace overlooking the formal gardens and fountain, inspired by Versailles.
Inside, the historic chateau has been reimagined by a renowned American interior designer to enhance classic period details.
The 52-room property is composed of several grand reception rooms on the ground floor, with 18 bedroom suites spread across the grand chateau, with an elevator and 2 service staircases.
The estate is complete with a caretaker’s house, a chapel, and an outbuildings with 3 additional apartments.
