Description
17th-century castle in Haut Beaujolais The THIBAUD VENET IMMOBILIER agency group is delighted to offer you this exceptional estate, a majestic 17th-century castle. Nestled in Haut Beaujolais, a few kilometers from Lac des Sapins and 65 km from Lyon, this family home has been renovated while preserving its old-world character. It is a true living witness to history, having welcomed prestigious families and personalities over the centuries. History: The estate, first mentioned in a deed of sale in 1509, became the property of a notable family in 1621. The latter transferred the property at the beginning of the 19th century to another family, who lived there until 1830. After several changes of ownership over the centuries, the estate was acquired in 1945 by a religious organization for retirement and rest, a use it retained until the end of the 1960s. In 1970, a new family acquired the property with the aim of restoring the estate and restoring its former character. Following the death of one of the heirs, the estate became the property of her two grandchildren, who now manage it. Description of the property: This prestigious estate consists of a Maison de Maître and several outbuildings, all extending over a magnificent 1.7 hectare park, offering a peaceful and preserved atmosphere. The main buildings date from 1621 and are organized around a paved courtyard.
