Nevers, Burgundy 58000

A residence of elegance and history, between classical architecture and the art of living Rooted in a forested setting shaped by the centuries, this castle embodies the culmination of a dialogue between history, nature, and civilization. Built on the traces of an ancient feudal motte and transformed over the ages, it offers today the complete face of a classic residence shaped in the 17th and 18th centuries, in a rare harmony between seigneurial heritage and the taste of the Enlightenment. An architecture of balance and measure In contrast to the pomp of Versailles, this aristocratic residence asserts a contained elegance. Its rigorously symmetrical plan, its serene faade, its advanced body topped with a triangular pediment: everything here expresses the noble restraint of an era when greatness was no longer imposed through demonstration, but through harmony. The main body, flanked by two low wings, blends French classicism with Nordic accents: polychrome bricks, circular towers, and elongated volumes. This subtle crossbreeding signifies a work of an enlightened architect. An art of living inspired by order and light The interior organization respects a readable hierarchy, designed to combine representation and intimacy. From the vestibule, a monumental staircase leads to the upper floor, while the reception spaces flow fluidly: grand salon, company salon, dining room. The upper floor alternates intimacy and reception: anterooms, boudoirs, cabinets, leading to the spacious bedrooms upstairs. The service wing, kitchens, galleries, and secondary rooms extend this discreet coherence of a castle conceived as a complete organism, serving a refined art of living. A majestic estate The castle is part of a built ensemble of rare coherence, structured around a vast honor courtyard of one hectare. The outbuildings stables, sheds, barns, and accommodations adopt the vocabulary of the main house, in a gentle variation. Nothing is superfluous here; everything is authentic. The whole evokes an estate in its fullness: a place for management, reception, and life, conceived in a logic of noble and elegant self-sufficiency. The traces of the Second Empire, discreet yet perceptible, recall the golden age of great hunts and social receptions. An inspired park, between underlying regularity and regained freedom Facing the castle, a landscaped park of fifteen hectares continues the architectural lesson in the language of the landscape. Open lawns, rare trees, a body of water, an avenue of horse chestnuts: here, the landscape is contemplated as much as it is traversed. Nature is no longer domesticated; it engages in dialogue. The hoofbeat of the horse, the breath of the wind, and the light on the foliage extend the silence of stones. Fees included of 5.86% VAT at the purchaser's expense. Price excluding fees 1, 750, 000 .
