Nevers, Burgundy 58000

A residence of elegance and history, between classical architecture and art of livingRooted in a forest setting shaped by the centuries, this castle embodies the culmination of a dialogue between history, nature and civilization. Built on the traces of an old feudal motte, then transformed over the years, it now offers the accomplished face of a classical residence shaped in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in a rare harmony between seigniorial heritage and the taste of the Enlightenment.A balance and measurement architectureIn contrast to the pomp of Versailles, this aristocratic residence asserts a restrained elegance. Its rigorously symmetrical plan, its peaceful faade, its avant-corps topped by a triangular pediment: everything here expresses the noble restraint of an era when grandeur was no longer imposed by demonstration, but by harmony.The main body, flanked by two low wings, mixes French classicism with Nordic accents: polychrome bricks, circular towers, elongation of volumes. This subtle crossover is the work of an enlightened architectAn art of living inspired by order and lightThe interior organization respects a legible hierarchy, designed to combine representation and intimacy. From the vestibule, a monumental staircase leads to the first floor, while the performance spaces flow smoothly: ceremonial room, company room, dining room. The first floor alternates between intimacy and reception: antechambers, boudoirs, cabinets, up to the vast bedrooms upstairs. The service wing, the pantries, the galleries and the secondary rooms extend this discreet coherence of a castle designed as a complete organism, at the service of a refined art of living.A majestic estateThe castle is part of a building complex of rare coherence, structured around a vast courtyard of one hectare. The outbuildings, stables, sheds, barns and dwellings use the vocabulary of the main house, in a soft version. Nothing is superfluous, everything is authentic.The whole evokes an estate in its fullness: a place of management, hospitality, life, designed in a logic of noble and elegant self-sufficiency. The traces of the Second Empire, discreet but sensitive, recall the golden age of great hunts and social receptions.An inspired park, between underlying regularity and newfound freedomOpposite the castle, a fifteen-hectare landscaped park extends the architecture lesson in the language of landscape.Open lawns, rare trees, a pond, an avenue of chestnut trees: here, the landscape is contemplated as much as it is crossed. Nature is no longer domesticated, it dialogues. The horse's step, the breath of the wind, the light on the foliage prolong the silence of the stones.Agency fees included of 5.86% TTC to be paid by the buyer. Price excluding fees 1 750 000 .
