L'ETRAT, Rhône, Address available on request

In a dominant position, this beautiful family estate overlooks parklands planted with trees and landscaped by Lyon landscape architects Luizet-Barret. Most of the grounds are enclosed by walls. This 17th century chateau built of dressed stone is built over cellars and comprises 3 stories of living accommodation and attics, totalling 680 m² (6,767 sq ft). 
The sober, classical façade with its triangular pediment was built in 1914. Visitors enter the reception room via the staircase in the centre of the building. On one side is a lounge that can be converted into a bedroom, and on the other is a second lounge and dining room. The ground floor features a second side entrance, with a separate bathroom and toilet, a large kitchen opening onto a west-facing terrace, and a pantry, boiler room and laundry room. The rooms on the ground floor are circular. 
A majestic stone spiral stairway with handrail and wrought iron railings leads up to the first floor, with 5 bedrooms including 3 suites, a bathroom and a chapel. The chapel has a separate entrance leading to a flat with lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. To the rear, there is also access to a second flat, reserved for the household staff and in need of renovation.
The grounds have a double garage, a heated saltwater swimming pool and a well. The estate is heated by an oil-fired boiler and has its own sewage system. 
Let yourself be seduced by this estate, with its wrought ironwork, mouldings, wood panelling, parquet floors and marble fireplaces in a verdant setting, 10 minutes from Andrézieux Bouthéon aerodrome and one hour from Lyon.
