CHÂTEAU IN THE PAYS BOURBONNAIS 
   Character residence ~ ready to move in    

Currently, four en suite guest rooms in the château are offered to bed and breakfast guests,
 and the outbuildings include a guest house, garages and several sheds.
 There is a sparkling swimming pool as an added amenity. 
 The enclosed park of 2 acres is landscaped with century-old trees,
 beautiful allées and a small pond fed from a natural source.

The estate is located above a delightful village with historical ties to the Bourbon dynasty and whose history is closely associated with the nearby Cluny Abbey.  In fact, the commune was named the "great Romanesque sanctuary of Auvergne".   Museums, gardens, annual exhibitions and fairs, and excursions to the magnificent priory, which houses the remains of two abbots of Cluny as well as a Duke of Bourbon, attract many tourists each year.  There are public events in April, May, July, September and November each year.

Those interested in architecture will not only appreciate the beautiful château and the fine church and priory [photo left], but can explore the nearby countryside to visit a vast array of examples of Romanesque architecture.  It is an excellent income property with many attractions for visitors including over 500 castles in the region, the spa town of Vichy to the south. and Nevers on the Loire River to the north in nearby Burgundy.

If you are interested in receiving more information about this property including the price or to schedule a visit, please contact info@franceonyourown.com.  We will be happy to assist you.  We understand that agent's fees will be paid by the sellers.

The château not only provides private accommodations for its resident owners, but it offers two double guest rooms, one twin guest room and two suites, all with en suite bathrooms, as well as a formal dining room, finely-detailed classical French interiors, exquisite stained glass and other unique attributes.  The château is in excellent,  move-in condition.  The total capacity of the château, cottages and longère is 40 persons.  [Photo of Orangerie at left.]

Nearby are many tourist attractions, including the historic city of Nantes (a half hour drive from the Château and two hours from Paris via TGV), Le Logis de la Chabotterie (historic castle of the Vendéen War) fishing, hunting, museums, son et lumière spectacle at Puy de Fou, the seaside resort of St Jean-de-Monts,  La Roche-sur-Yon,  the Île de Noirmoutier, and the Marais de Challans.
