Finally, the estate was sold on October 3, 1737 for 131,000 livres to Jean-Baptiste Berset, son of a wealthy banker. This gives the castle its present appearance: a vast main building with seven bays connects two remaining pavilions of the manor of Hautefort; the elegant eighteenth-century facades bear its coat of arms. On one of the pavilions of the north facade (sloping roof), there is a large spire of ridge representing Judith (Judith and Holofernes)

The chapel, dedicated to Our Lady of Deliverance, was renovated in 1762 as evidenced by the date on its northern part.

Hauterives will remain in this family until 1975. The descendants of Berset kept the castle through Fitzgerald and Montalembert . The castle remained abandoned for 30 years before being restored in 2007.

Today, a majestic alley leads you to the entrance gate with its dry moat on both sides. The central floral design of boxwood and roses in the main courtyard has been reproduced identically from a photo dating from 1924. The elegant XVIIIth century façade of Hauterives with seven bay windows bears the arms of the Berset. This charming castle is framed on the left by the old stables converted into a beautiful reception room and the beautiful dovecote of the sixteenth century, on the right by the chapel and its pretty campanile; the guardian's house and a pavilion, both XVIIIth are located a little further.
At the back of the castle, the stairway will allow you to discover a sumptuous garden terrace wall. This one embellished with several hundred roses and boxwood seduce you by its symmetry characteristic of French gardens. A wide avenue of plane trees and a central well (depth of 27.85m) protected by a beautiful pavilion add to the charm of the place. Come relax there!
