Eleventh Century Fortified House – Overlooking the Chevrières Valley

Property Description

Nestled on the outskirts of the charming village of Chevrières (38160), only 7 km from Saint-Marcellin, stands an exceptional residence: an old medieval surveillance castle of the eleventh century, which belonged to Diane de Poitiers, favorite of King Henry II. Perched on the highest hill, near a small chapel, this place steeped in history has regained all its splendour thanks to a meticulous restoration that respects its (unclassified) heritage.

This 220 m² building of character, spread over two levels, perfectly combines the authenticity of the time with modern comfort.

As soon as you enter, you are welcomed into a large living room with a cathedral roof, equipped with a wood stove and open to a fully equipped modern kitchen. The former weapons room, converted into a dining room, is adorned with a magnificent restored fresco, an imposing library and a period fireplace with its traditional brooch system. An internal access leads directly to a 52 m² garage with mezzanine and boiler room.

The stair tower, pierced by loophole windows, leads you upstairs. It includes a 12 m² living space with mezzanine, five bright bedrooms, a large bathroom, a toilet, as well as a roof terrace offering a breathtaking view of the Vercors and the village of Chevrières.

Located on a plot of 2,646 m², the property also houses an 87 m² cellar with its old period press, a moving witness to the winemaking traditions of yesteryear.

This rare property is ideal for history buffs, nature lovers and character lovers. Perfect for families looking for authenticity or investors wishing to develop a gîte or bed and breakfast business.

Heat pump, reversible air conditioning upstairs, compliant sanitation, wood stove.

This rare pearl is waiting for you. Contact me for a visit and let yourself be seduced!
