Property Description
The historic Château du Bérouze is located at the entrance to the village of Samoens. It is set within private, stone walled gardens on more than an acre of flat land and enjoys all round mountain views. Inside, the château features lofty French ceilings, tall windows, open fireplaces, oak, stone and quarry tiled floors, ceiling height cupboards and library shelves and exposed stonework.
The main accommodation in the château is on the ground and first floors of the building and on the top floor is a massive attic space with a 10m high peak. The total floor area is approx 1000m2 (500m2 habitable), including the attic and cellar floors. The accommodation includes: huge double salon, 2 further reception rooms, 6-9 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, billiard room, kitchen with rayburn, dining room, 2-storey attic space and vaulted cellars. Within this accommodation, off the vaulted stone staircase leading to the first floor, is an apartment which can be completely self-contained by simply closing a hallway door.
Outside, in the well-stocked, landscaped gardens there is a swimming pool, lily pond, mazot (traditional Savoyard storage building) and even a small moat. There is also a 3-storey barn, providing an opportunity for further development.
The chateau has been featured in a number of design magazines and recommended by The Guardian, Daily Telegraph and Alistair Sawdays 'Special Places to Stay in France'.
