Description
Nestled in the heart of a magnificent 7-hectare park of meadows and woods, bordered by a River, near a Lake, this magnificent 17th-century manor house and its outbuildings stand out, hidden from view.
Partially listed as a Historic Monument (facades and roofs), it has been patiently and meticulously renovated by its owners, assisted by an ACMH architect and specialized craftsmen.
The buildings are constructed of granite rubble, including a remarkable staircase tower and gerbières, arrow slits, cornices, a sundial, majestic fireplaces, and a wide granite staircase. A remarkable period octagonal well, a bread oven, and standing stones complete the picture.
The property has belonged over time to illustrious owners, including Malo Corret de la Tour d'Auvergne, the first grenadier in France, whose ashes are interred in the Pantheon.
Detailed description of the property:
The Manor: South-facing, with a living area of approximately 280m², it comprises large rooms on three levels. The roof frames and thick natural slate roofing were completely redone in 1983. The exterior woodwork, interior shutters, beams, and floors are oak. The ground floor floors are made of small terracotta tiles, "in the style of the nearby Château de La Roche Jagu." The exterior foundations have been waterproofed, and the insulation is provided by double interior partitions (lime/straw clay), soundproofing of the floors, and underfloor heating on the ground floor have been installed.
Ground floor (120m²): an entrance hall, a 55m² living room with a remarkable granite fireplace, a 45m² dining room with a remarkable fireplace, a 20m² lean-to, a toilet, and a hallway with a tower staircase leading to the upper floors. A secret door provides access to the former stables.
1st floor (110m²): a landing leading to two large bedrooms, each approximately 50m², with remarkable fireplaces, a bathroom, and a toilet.
2nd floor (110m² under the attic, approximately 50m²): two bedrooms, each approximately 25m², a shower room, and a toilet.
Former Stables: Converted as a home 40 years ago, the manor house provides access to a large, bright, equipped kitchen/dining room of over 50m² and a second room of 15m² (possible storage or bedroom). The attic space of the stables could be converted (65m² floor space).
Outbuilding: A stone house with slate roofing, 40m² on two levels with a fireplace on the ground floor, is in need of renovation near the manor house. A former lean-to woodshed completes this building.
Barn: The former stone barn with slate roofing, approximately 35m², serves as a garage, boiler room (oil), oil tank, and a 4-bar pressurized water tank supplying the manor house from the natural spring. The spring water is regularly analyzed.
This remarkable property with great potential will welcome lovers of a peaceful and natural setting, old stone buildings, and history. The 7ha park also offers multiple opportunities (horses, sheep, beehive, etc.).
