Not a château, but this maison de maître/bourgeois home built in 1906 in Perche, France is so full of character and elegance and grandeur (but on a totally manageable scale) I had to share. I don’t even care that the owners couldn’t have been bothered to remove the pile of crap on the dining table (big pet peeve of mine). It has 3 bedrooms on the first floor, 3 more on the second, a cellar under the entire home, a workshop, a courtyard, an outbuilding, and in the garden is a henhouse with an old dovecote. At the back of the home is green space of 2048m2. And it is €675,000 via Les Belles Maisons.
