Cher (18) – Nérondes Canton – Approximately 12 hectares33 km from Bourges, in the heart of Berry and in the Nérondes canton, the Château de Cornusse — also known as the
Château des Templiers — represents a rare opportunity to acquire a vast heritage estate offering strong potential for hotel, events or residential development.
Set on approximately 12 hectares of wooded park with two ponds, the property comprises a coherent and well-structured built ensemble including notably:
- the Château de Cornusse, built on two floors with basement and a square tower developed over five levels,
- a caretaker's lodge,
- a manager's house,
- outbuildings and several ancillary structures,
- a former distillery,
- a landscaped wooded park,
- a water treatment plant,
- as well as an electrical transformer station ensuring technical autonomy of the site.
The ensemble is situated in a preserved natural environment, particularly suited to a boutique hotel project, heritage residence or events venue.
Since its acquisition in 2007, the current owner has invested over €1 million (excluding personal labor), notably in interior restoration of much of the building, insulation, roof repairs and installation of reversible air conditioning systems in numerous bedrooms and apartments.
The estate today constitutes a consolidated heritage asset. The estimated complementary investment of approximately €1 million corresponds mainly to a completion and operational launch phase, rather than major restructuring.
The site lends itself to diversified operations combining hotel accommodation, catering and events. It notably includes 22 existing apartments already generating recurring rental income.
Based on prudent operational assumptions, total revenue on the order of €50,000 monthly can be envisaged long-term.
Located near amenities and Bourges — European Capital of Culture 2028 — the Château de Cornusse benefits from a particularly favorable territorial context for tourism and events projects.
