Full Description


From the moment you arrive, the majestic 19th-century wrought-iron gate and long tree-lined driveway reveal the grandeur of this noble estate, discreetly nestled in a lush, tranquil park.
Dating back to the 14th and 18th centuries, this historic property offers a rare combination of timeless elegance and gentle rural living. The 6-hectare grounds include a 2-hectare park with centuries-old trees, cultivated land, and a pasture ideal for horses or other animals. A natural spring and well provide water, while a charming stream crosses the land, spanned by two stone bridges.
The main façade of the maison de maître faces due south, adorned with large stone-framed windows and a rare architectural feature: a gnomonic sundial. In spring, majestic climbing roses bloom across the front, offering a spectacular welcome. The grand double-leaf oak entrance door, typical of 18th-century aristocratic homes, opens into a spacious central hall paved with traditional terracotta tiles.
To the right, a beautiful salon with alcoves to the left, a large office. To the rear, overlooking the garden and pool, are a second living room, a drawing room, a generous family kitchen with dining area, and a laundry room with WC.

Attached to the main house is a consecrated chapel with painted vaulted ceiling and a sculpture of the Virgin and Child under a Saint-Jacques shell. It connects internally to the kitchen and also opens via grand double doors to the garden and pool area. Beside it, the sunlit orangeriecurrently an artist's studiocan easily be returned to its original purpose or used as a winter garden.
Extending from the main house is the west wing, once staff accommodation, now fully and elegantly renovated while preserving its original stone walls, framework, and distinctive bell tower. It has its own private entrance and can function independently. Inside: a dining room with a rare 18th-century walnut fireplace, a salon with a stunning Regency-era fireplace, a kitchen, and pantry. Upstairs are two large bedroom suites, each with its own Italian-style shower room and Wc. The wing opens to a private stone-paved terrace and enclosed gardenideal for al fresco dining, framed by star jasmine and bougainvillea, creating a secret garden feel in summer.

Notable features include a decorative wooden eave, stone arch windows, and custom-made wrought iron frames. The current owners have partially renovated the ground floor to create a stylish showroom for their art.
