castle for sale Saint-Flour, France

A listed castle and its formal French garden surrounded by 5 ha of grounds in a town of art and history in the Cantal region. The property is accessed via a pleasant, tree-lined village road. The castle and the surrounding buildings are of volcanic stone, forming a remarkable ensemble. The property is walled on the village side, and therefore hidden from prying eyes. Some architectural and natural elements can be made out from a distance, such as the squinch turret on the main house and the tall trees. The castle borders the perimeter wall of the property. A formal French garden stretches out in front, like a carpet of greenery. The tennis court to the east of the castle and the swimming pool to the west are protected from view by groves of trees. The parklands, which extend over more than 5 hectares next to the chateau, include magnificent trees and beautiful coniferous species.
