Located near the 84km 'Via Ardèche' greenway and a stone's throw from the confluence of the ARDECHE and CHASSEZAC rivers. Large historic building complex transformed over 30 years into tourist accommodation with cottages, swimming pools and reception hall. The Château, with a total living area of 1,114 m2, now offers 11 fully renovated and equipped apartments on two levels, ranging in size from 85.7 m2 for the largest to 18.5 m2 for the smallest. The ground floor comprises event spaces totaling over 340 m2, including a magnificent 136 m2 glass-enclosed reception room. The residence, with a total surface area of 602 m2, currently offers 11 apartments ranging in size from 37 m2 to 74 m2, spread over two levels. Each apartment has its own large private terrace overlooking the swimming pools, the park, and the castle. The former sheepfold has been converted into a dwelling with a large living room on the ground floor and 3 bedrooms upstairs, WC, shower room on more than 106 m2, and a large private terrace. This vast complex, which extends over nearly 2.5 hectares and offers a living area of more than 1820 m2 spread over 3 different dwellings, is above all a witness to history. From the early Middle Ages, in the 13th century, the first fortress was built on the rock of Sampzon; these were the beginnings of this magnificent castle. During the 16th century, this fortress was the result of hostilities between Catholics and Protestants, each vying for control of this stronghold. Partially destroyed during the Wars of Religion, the castle became the property of the Protestants at the very beginning of the 17th century, and the castle tower was rebuilt at that time. Numerous other works were undertaken, financed by the church and the nobility. Unfortunately, various occupations and natural erosion have left few traces of medieval occupation of the castle on the Rocher de Sampzon. Today, this castle is a large rectangular building, flanked to the south by two circular corner turrets, and in the middle of one of its facades by a square keep. The building was extended to the north in the 16th century with new living quarters, obscuring the former flanking keep. A fine rusticated watchtower located at the northwest corner was preserved. Today, Sampzon Castle remains a witness to the past, firmly rooted in its landscape. It stands proudly above the Ardèche River, bearing the marks of time, revealing all the eras it has witnessed through its blend of architectural styles, making it a truly noble and unique building. A fantastic opportunity for a tourist accommodation project, year-round co-ownership residences, or simply for personal enjoyment! A justified price of EUR1,575,000 (agency fees included).
