The estate and its parcels
The estate extends as a single block over 13 cadastral parcels, for a total area of 581 940 m², that is around 58.2 hectares. This whole brings together the main house, its outbuilding, the park and the forest estate.
The forest perimeter covers 55 hectares 96 ares and 40 centiares, of which 50 hectares 9 ares and 39 centiares are actually wooded. The area of the forest estate therefore also includes unwooded spaces and should not be equated with that of the tree stands alone.
The forest is made up of 83% broadleaf trees, mainly oaks and beeches, along with ash, sweet chestnut, sycamore maple and wild cherry. Conifers account for the remaining 17%: Douglas fir, Sitka spruce and Norway spruce.
At the edge of the woods, the timber-framed house stands in the open spaces of the park, with a view over the valley. The brick and stone outbuilding sits above the house.
Forest management is governed by a simple management plan approved for the period 2023 to 2037. The forest is also noted as PEFC certified and included within the type 2 ZNIEFF 'Vallée de la Paquine'.
The cadastral detail gives, for each parcel, its reference, its area and the zoning indicated in the local planning document. The precise references and location documents are available in the file after identification.
The exact parcel references, their area and their zoning are supplied with the complete dossier, on request from your ALEXANDRE contact.
01 / 03An old house in a landscape of woods and valleys
Close to a château, the house sits within a landscape of valleys and woods already shown on the Cassini map. This document sheds early light on the former surroundings of the estate, without specifying the origin of the present buildings.
Dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, the main house combines a stone base with timber-framed façades. The dormer windows and tall chimney shape its silhouette. Inside, the large fireplace and the exposed timber frame, open onto the mezzanine, reveal the volumes of the house.
Set above, the brick and stone outbuilding completes this rural ensemble.
The House
An entrance hall, a fitted kitchen and a sitting room-cum-dining room with bar and large fireplace. A utility room and a cloakroom complete this level.
The House
Three bedrooms and a bathroom, reached by a mezzanine opening onto the double-height sitting room, beneath the exposed timber frame.
The Outbuilding
Set above the house, the brick and stone outbuilding enjoys a more open view over the valley. It offers around 100 m² of floor space and comprises two levels. Currently used for storage, it is in need of renovation.
The ground floor
Exposed beams and professional equipment.
The kitchen is distinguished by its exposed wooden beams and joists. A painted wooden centre island organises the space, complemented by professional-type refrigerated cabinets and a worktop with sink, set on a tiled floor.

Large reception room, bar and fireplace beneath the timber frame.
The main room of the house presents itself as a reception room: a bar with an old wood finish, a brick-effect fireplace, and long tablecloth-covered tables on a terracotta tiled floor. The exposed timber frame is served by a wooden staircase leading to the mezzanine.
Hunting trophies and a carved antique cabinet make up the decor of this room, which occupies the greater part of the ground floor.
The first floor
Double height open onto the sitting room, exposed timber frame.
The mezzanine serves the bedrooms via a corridor with wide-plank solid wood flooring. A wooden balustrade opens onto the double-height space of the sitting room, beneath a roof window.

The park, the well and the forest
Around the house, the grassed areas follow the slope of the land and open the view over the valley. A path serves the buildings, while the outbuilding stands above. The treeline marks the transition between the park and the forest.
Near the house, a well of brick and stone is topped with a tall slate roof. Its arched opening, closed by a grille and surmounted by a deer's head, is a particular detail of the built ensemble.
The forest extends the park and occupies most of the estate. It is crossed by paths, one of which is a public right of way. Ponds, ditches and a former wild boar breeding enclosure are noted in the description of the estate.
