In 1567, the central part was erected, enriched with watchtowers, arrow slits, and machicolations, added by the Lord of La Motte de Chalendar to protect his family from raiders.

They embarked on a complete restoration, meticulously preserving every architectural detail. The interior reveals a harmonious blend of vaulted rooms, lounges with fireplaces, dining rooms, libraries, and luxurious bedrooms. The garden level houses functional spaces, while the first floor unveils elegant suites and spacious bedrooms. The independent tower offers a private space with a lounge, kitchen, and bedrooms. The exteriors beckon relaxation with spacious terraces, a sparkling pool, diverse gardens, a wooded park, and vineyards. This unique family residence charms with its timeless charm and exceptional character. Though private, it remains connected to the village, offering breathtaking views and easy access from the southern highway.

Mr Naud had become mayor of the Commune. The building was planned in an existing clearing, high up, with a beautiful view over the surrounding countryside.

Flanked on the north side by a massive square tower, the specificity of which is to change from a polygonal to a square plan by 'a corbelling with eight quarter round moulded projections', an impression of placid power emanates from this group of buildings, which has been freshly renovated with a degree of care rarely seen. The tower gives access to the interior via a pretty doorway topped by a lintel in the form of an embrasure, and contains a singular wooden spiral stairway. Adjacent to the large dwelling, a vast terrace topped by a slate canopy completes the balance of this building.

On the second floor and in the attic, additional volumes offer interesting potential for conversion as required. The living space is approx. 350 sqm. The property has two outbuildings: A large games room (approx. 50 sqm) is located in the extension of the living area, which is set back at right angles and can be accessed from the courtyard on the same level. On the first floor, an attic accessible via an attractive external slate staircase offers additional possibilities for conversion.

The manor house is set in beautiful English-style parklands of 4,21 acres planted with beautiful trees in the making (oak, chestnut, acacia, cedar, fruit, apple, pear, cherry, plum, quince, raspberry, redcurrant trees, etc.), and punctuated by a beautiful pond with fish. The view is unobstructed over the surrounding valleys and there is a great deal of peace and quiet in this place, which naturally gives meaning to Joachim du Bellay's famous sonnet evoking the 'softness of Angers'.
