Description

A 13th-Century Château Overlooking the Isère River

Nestled at the foot of the majestic Vercors massif, the historic Château de la Sone commands a serene and elevated position above the shimmering bends of the Isère River. This rare 13th-century estate, originally conceived as a royal hunting retreat, presents a profound blend of medieval grandeur and sublime natural beauty. Its storied architecture, characterised by ancient towers, vaulted caves, and secluded courtyards, stands in harmonious dialogue with terraced gardens and sweeping ceremonial lawns, creating an atmosphere of timeless privacy and peace.

The château’s privileged vantage point affords panoramic river views that are an integral part of its character, with the light and water crafting a living tableau that shifts from dawn to dusk. Mature, ancient trees frame the property, while private pathways lead to the river’s edge and the gentle sounds of waterfalls, offering a truly immersive natural sanctuary. This is a domain designed for grand gatherings and reflective escapes, where history is felt in every stone.

Within its fortified walls, the residence masterfully balances authentic period details with discerning modern comforts. Elegant reception rooms with imposing fireplaces flow into a fully equipped kitchen and spacious living areas. The generous bedrooms ensure restful repose, while contemporary conveniences are seamlessly integrated throughout. The estate serves as a perfect gateway to the rich cultural and recreational offerings of the Dauphiné region.
