EXCLUSIVE LISTING - VERY ELEGANT AND EXQUISITE EARLY 18TH-CENTURY CHATEAU 2 HOURS 30 MINUTES FROM PARIS - Jean-Baptiste Bouchardon - On a paradisiacal island in the middle of the Marne River - Enchanting gardens - 5 hectares, 6 bedrooms - Chaumont, Haute-Marne, Grand Est.
Located 2 hours 30 minutes from Paris, this remarkably elegant and refined early 18th-century chateau, attributed to the architect and sculptor Jean-Baptiste Bouchardon, stands upon an island of almost paradisiacal character in the middle of the Marne River, surrounded by an enchanting garden of rare refinement designed by Bouchardon himself in 1736. Raised to the rank of a marquisate in 1745, the chateau embodies all the refinement of the 18th century, with the particularly rare distinction that both the residence and its gardens were conceived by the same artist. Jean-Baptiste Bouchardon belonged to one of the greatest dynasties of French artists of the 18th century, many of whom worked at Palace of Versailles for the King. Restored with great taste around 1960, the property today remains in very good condition. Its exceptional garden — among the finest in the region — restored around 1970, has now reached a magnificent maturity and is occasionally opened to the public. Built in finely cut pale limestone ashlar, the architecture is characteristic of 18th-century classicism through its perfectly balanced symmetry. The chateau presents two identical façades, one facing the courtyard and the other the garden, ideally oriented east-west so that the residence is bathed in sunlight throughout the day.
