Historic and bucolic charm on the banks of the Aube
Manor house near Chaumont
On the banks of the Aube river, an old 15th century mill that became a manor house in the 18th century reveals its homogeneous architecture and generous volumes. Blond stones, discreet turrets and outbuildings form a refined composition, enhanced by a landscaped park of nearly 8 hectares. Behind the classic facades are fireplaces, old parquet floors, wall paintings and openings to light. A place to live, welcome and share, it embodies a bourgeois residence near Chaumont where history and contemporary comfort meet. Family residence, high-end hospitality project or reception area, this manor house of character combines a noble atmosphere and rare potential, in a strategic geographical location, between Champagne and Burgundy.
An interior inhabited by history
The stone walls preserve the memory of a mill that became a residence. Behind the old doors, the rooms follow one another in a wide rhythm: eleven bedrooms including several suites, large living rooms where fireplaces punctuate the space, parquet floors and old tiles bringing the warmth of a living material. The interior organization reflects the versatility of the place: one side designed for family life, another dedicated to guest rooms, and a last one offering volumes to be restored. On each level, the volumes offer generous perspectives, allowing you to imagine both the conviviality of everyday life and the reception of guests who have come to seek the charm of a Manor near Chaumont.
The park as a refuge
Outside, the residence extends into a park of nearly 8 hectares, bordered on one side by the Aube river. Between a gravel driveway, a wooden terrace and outbuildings organised around the manor house, the whole exudes harmony. The landscaped garden offers the softness of a drawn nature, between shadow and light. The rehabilitated outbuildings, barns and dormitories complete the main house. Their potential remains immense: workshops, additional rooms or reception areas. At the back, a tennis court recalls the convivial vocation of the place. Between stone, water and vegetation, this estate retains a real balance, both open and intimate, capable of welcoming families, friends or guests.
A territory to explore
Between Langres, Troyes and Chaumont, Laferté-sur-Aube is nestled at the crossroads of the Haute-Marne forests and the Champagne hillsides. Here, the landscape alternates green valleys and wine-growing horizons. The river accompanies the life of the village, reinforcing the bucolic character of a preserved environment. The region appeals to both nature and culture lovers: hiking, golf in Arc-en-Barrois, medieval heritage in the neighbouring towns, Champagne roads a few kilometres away. The geographical position, close to the A5, places the manor halfway between Paris and Dijon. A strategic location that offers the tranquility of a village and the accessibility of a dynamic territory.
