CASTLE AND ITS GROUNDS SET AMIDST A 12-HECTARE PARK

Today, I invite you to explore a spacious estate nestled in a serene, lush setting, featuring gardens and wooded grounds. A large vegetable garden, a swimming pool, and a former tennis court round out the outdoor spaces, spread across approximately 12 hectares. The small consecrated chapel adds an extra touch of serenity.
The Château de Chézal-Garnier, built in the 17th century and remodeled in 1770, forms a U-shape with its two main wings, each approximately 180 m². The northernmost section has been converted into a kitchen, pantry, laundry room, and a passageway leading to the covered terrace and cellars, which occupy the entire basement of the main building.
The latter features two entrances on the ground floor: the former servants’ entrance, which leads up to the second floor of the building (former maids’ quarters offering generous, convertible spaces), and the main entrance, which opens onto a living area of approximately 150 m² divided into a small and large living room, a library, study, and dining room on one side, and a sleeping area of approximately 50 m² on the other, comprising a bathroom shared by two bedrooms—one of which is bathed in light and has access to a terrace with a staircase overlooking the park, while the other opens onto the main courtyard.
The first floor features a sleeping area comprising four bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shower room, as well as another section where renovation has begun to create four potential additional bedrooms.

Access to the second floor is via the side entrance or the area under renovation on the first floor, and offers approximately 340 square meters of new potential for renovation, with just as much charm and character as the rest of the house, even though life there has been dormant for over a century.
The property is equipped with oil-fired central heating; some windows have been replaced with PVC ones, but most of the large windows remain single-pane wooden ones, adding character and light to the rooms—almost all of which are equally spacious, including living areas and bedrooms. The roofs have been regularly renovated, and the roof trusses are visible from the top floor (which is ready for conversion) and from all the attics in the outbuildings. The owners have chosen to preserve as much as possible of the authentic features left by the lords and noble families who preceded them: in the main house, this includes solid hardwood floors, transoms, and other woodwork, as well as moldings and cement tiles; and in the outbuildings (former stables and barns), they have been left in their original state, with careful maintenance of the roofs. The only truly modern touch added for the family’s comfort is the construction of a 10x5m swimming pool in 1995, whose equipment room is located in the former dovecote.
The southernmost outbuildings consist of former stables, now used as garages, and the chapel.

Separated from the rest of the property by attractive railings, additional outbuildings surround a caretaker’s house with an additional 97 square meters of living space, which is currently occupied. These outbuildings consist of two beautiful barns with floor areas of approximately 200 and 330 square meters, a wood shed, a chicken coop—also protected by attractive railings—and a small workshop. This second building has the following energy ratings: DPE 153C and GES 5A.
The vegetable garden and orchard occupy a generous area of approximately 5,500 m² and connect to the approximately 10-hectare wooded park, which is unfenced.

This new exclusive listing from Pierres & Demeures offers a preserved living environment that invites you to unwind. At the end of the grand avenue of chestnut trees, which splits into two leading to two distinct living areas—the château and its outbuildings on one side, and the farm buildings on the other—the property can accommodate various personal and professional projects, such as tourism or event hosting, including the use of the consecrated chapel, even though the caretaker’s quarters are not immediately available. The history of the former seigneury of Chézal-Garnier remains to be written....

Neuvy-Pailloux, located approximately 15 km from Châteauroux and 12 km from Issoudun—2.5 to 3 hours from Paris—is perfectly served both in terms of essential amenities (shops, schools, nearby golf courses) and transportation, with its train station offering several stops.
