Description
This 16th-century château for sale in Indre stands on 9 hectares near Aigurande, with 600 m² of living space and a four-stall stable block. It sits on a gentle rise in the Berry countryside of Centre-Val de Loire, looking over meadows, woodland and the valley below. The roof has been restored, the windows are double glazed and a wood-chip boiler does the heating. The rooms still waiting for work are yours to shape.
The Château: Two Floors, an Attic and a Tower
The house is arranged over two main levels, with an attic above and a basement below. Rooms are generous, ceilings are high and the windows are large, so the light carries deep into the house. You come in through a grand entrance hall. The ground floor covers about 320 m² and holds the main living room with a fireplace insert. From there you step onto a south-facing terrace, which is where morning coffee and the long view across the valley will become a habit. Next door is a formal dining room. The fitted kitchen has its own scullery, so the cooking mess stays out of sight.
The master suite is also on the ground floor, with a freestanding bath, a separate shower and a toilet. An office, a laundry room and storage space finish off this level, which makes single-level living easy.
Upstairs, about 230 m² are arranged around a wide double landing. It could be split to create two independent living areas, handy for grown-up children or long-staying guests. There is a second living room with a fireplace and a balcony, four bedrooms and several bathrooms, one with a whirlpool bath. A former kitchen and a few rooms still need renovation, so you can decide what they become.
The attic has a room of more than 40 m² and four former servants' bedrooms. They could become guest rooms, studios or a games floor. The tower can be reached from several levels and has not been renovated at all. The basement has a tack room, the boiler room and a wine cellar.
Grounds, Stables and Outbuildings
The land runs to nearly 9 hectares of meadow and mature woodland. For anyone looking at an equestrian property in France, the practical side is already there: a stable block with four stalls, a grooming area and a horse wash bay. There is also a large storage barn and a carport. One outbuilding carries solar panels.
A detached pavilion needs complete renovation. It does have a new slate roof, covered by a ten-year structural warranty, so the hard part of the shell is done. It could become a gîte, a studio or a separate guest house, subject to the usual planning permission.
Living Near Aigurande in George Sand Country
Aigurande is a small town in the south of Indre, close to the border with the Creuse. Shops and everyday services are about 4 km from the château. Châteauroux and La Châtre are each roughly 40 minutes away by car. La Châtre is the heart of George Sand country, where the novelist lived and wrote. The château itself is linked to a friend of hers and is mentioned in her correspondence, which gives the house a literary history you rarely find on a listing.
Paris is about three hours by road. That makes the house workable as a second home in France for long weekends and school holidays, as well as a base for living here full time. Berry is quiet, green and uncrowded, with winters that are cool and damp and summers that are warm. A house of this size needs regular heating and upkeep, so plan for a caretaker or a local contact if you will be away for long periods.
Buying a Château in the Centre-Val de Loire
The condition is good overall, and the major works on roof, insulation, glazing and heating are done. The remaining projects are cosmetic or creative: the tower, the former kitchen, the pavilion and some upstairs rooms. Real estate in France is sold through a notary, and the seller's fees are included in the asking price of €599,000. Natural-risk information for the property is published on the Géorisques website, and we suggest reading it before a visit.
