7.4 acre estate at the foot of the Vercors mountains between the Provence and Dauphine
Location
Near to Valance and at the crossroads of Lyon (St-Exupéry airport 60 minutes away) and Grenoble (Grenoble Saint-Geoirs airport 40 minutes away) activity centres, this amazing property is not far from the A43, A41, A7 and A49 motorways and 20 minutes away from a TGV train station with direct links to Marseille (45 minutes) and Paris (2h15).
Description
A meeting place for hunting during Gallo-Roman times, the property saw its first foundations at the end of the 15th / beginning of the 16th century when descendants of the lords from the Dauphiné region decided to build an imposing Stronghold House.
The perfect restoration and absolute comfort of this vast dwelling that has existed down through the centuries and currently consists of 20.000 sq ft of living space, is astonishing.
The main building contains some wonderful reception rooms (guard room, music room, 1,453 sq ft meeting room, etc.) embellished with some interesting decorative features (17th century painted ceilings, mullioned windows, vaulted cellars).
A caretakers’ cottage and guest house (6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, hammam and sauna) together with loose boxes and vast garages encircle the inner courtyard and its fountain.
Wooded parklands and gardens with a tower converted into a chapel.
Our opinion
Situated in the foothills of the Vercors mountains, this impressive building has some large, cleverly laid out reception areas to complement its warm and cosy interiors. A splendid, perfectly maintained, luxurious estate.
