Castle in Alençon, France
Price: $6,346,200, 26 Bedrooms, 432 acres
Situated in Normandy, in the south of the Orne département, at the forefront of the Normandie-Maine Regional Nature Park, this elegant property enjoys a privileged rural setting, nestling between civilisation and nature.
The Ecouves forest, a natural area of more than 8,000 hectares of state-owned land, with its varied relief and expanses of centuries-old oak and beech trees, where flora and fauna live in perfect harmony; wild waterways, ponds... this is the exceptional setting that Lonray can make its own forever. A benevolent setting, a source of serenity... and well-being!
The prefecture of the Orne department, Alençon, with its 25,000 inhabitants, remains a major administrative and economic centre, with all the shops and services you need for everyday life less than 2 leagues away. As a recognised communications hub, road, motorway and rail links are just a few minutes away, providing easy access to the capital, among other places.
THE CHATEAU : Inspired by Flemish and Italian art, the château's balanced west facade comprises a massive main building in white stone, flanked by two more refined brick wings.
Walls and pilasters enhance the bareness of the surfaces and support the balconies; the very high slate roofs are enhanced by bull's eye dormers, and the quadrangular chimneys with curved pediments contribute to a lighter appearance.
The cross-headed windows are slender and high, with wooden frames, arranged in regular bays and topped with pediments or carved keys.
