Château often rhymes with work. But not here. “There is no work to be planned», assures Jean-Luc Boizard, real estate agent at Safti in charge of the sale of a 20-room castle over 1,400 square meters, located 30 minutes from Deauville (14) and 2 hours from Paris. The current owner lived in the premises for 23 years and has continually improved the condition of the castle. The paintings are clean, the parquet floor is in good condition. The gardens which extend over 39 hectares are very well maintained, with well-trimmed groves. “The owner has managed to modernize the property whilst retaining the charm of yesteryear.», assures the real estate agent.
The castle, which dates from the 15th century, has a dovecote, a hunting lodge, a caretaker's house, not forgetting the stable, the guest house and the neo-Gothic funeral chapel. A billiards room and a gym will entertain buyers. And the cherry on the cake, an indoor swimming pool completes the property. In total, the castle has 20 rooms.
Nearly 4 million euros
Today, the owner wishes to sell his main residence, the castle having become too big for him. His many children have left the nest and he wants to part with this property which requires a lot of maintenance. “At his age, he is reducing his sail», summarizes Jean-Luc Boizard. And all the more so since the owner has another smaller castle, on a human scale. The lord has no particular requirements regarding the profile of the buyer who will be interested in his property, but he is looking for someone who will love this residence as he loved it and who will continue to maintain it with passion.
A person who will therefore have the means to acquire it and ensure that it does not deteriorate. This buyer could either be an individual or a large company that would like to turn it into a charming hotel. Whatever their profile, the buyer will have to pay 3,870,000 euros to move into this prestigious castle. “This castle beautifully preserved close to Pont-l'Évêque and Deauville is a witness to the evolution of architectural styles and uses of castles in Normandy, passing from the function of a medieval fortress to that of a classical noble residence, then to that of a heritage space and family», concludes the real estate agent.
