A stunning medieval castle has gone on the market for £1.6 million – and it looks straight out of a fairy tale.
Chateau Chamborigaud is nestled in the picturesque Cévennes mountains of La Vernarède, France, just a two-hour drive from the popular city of Montpellier.
Built in 1575, the architectural gem stands in a semi-dominant position on the Chemin de Stevenson, surrounded by 2.4 hectares of protective parkland.

On the outside, the chateau looks like something out of a storybook, complete with a cobblestone facade, several turrets, and peaked roofs.
Inside, the home reflects old glamour, with traditional open brick walls and decorative red features, offering a perfect blend of history, luxury, and modern comfort.
The impressive pad boasts 600 square metres of interior space, including 11 bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
The centre piece of the home is the cosy living room with beamed ceilings, an open fireplace, and a hanging chandelier.
But this is just one of the several spacious living areas, including one with a 150 square metre terrace overlooking the parklands.

The kitchen connects to the formal living and dining rooms, featuring a carved stone-hood surround, a state-of-the-art Aga cooker, and a long window looking out onto the garden.
The two upper floors each house three spacious suites, as well as a flat with independent access.
The curves of the turrets and geometrical lines of the design are reflected in the shape of the interior rooms, leading to uniquely shaped rooms and attention-grabbing design elements throughout.

The 2.4 hectares of land feature beautiful landscaping with fruit trees, cobblestone paths, and a fire pit with a wooden seating area.
The pool is also surrounded by a spacious patio with plenty of room for entertaining.
The style is a whimsical homage to Medieval French architecture, featuring elements such as turrets, crooked roofs, bridges over brooks, and uneven doors and windows.
The estate enjoys a privileged location, close to amenities such as a tennis court, shops, bars, and restaurants.
The surrounding area is also full of superb walks and gastronomic activities, making it a true paradise for lovers of nature and good food.
If you fancy living like royalty, the property is currently on the market with Knight Frank for €1,950,000 (£1,660,000).
