On the edge of Morvan, in Nivernais, between Châtillon-en-Bazois and Château-Chinon, a fortified house from the 14th century, its outbuildings, and its estate of 17 hectares. Spanning an area of about 17 hectares, the estate is situated at an altitude of 300 meters and enjoys a continental climate. Mainly composed of fertile pastures, it has four ponds located to the south of the fortified house, aligned along an east-west axis that follows the slight slope of the land. To the north, three imposing barns, with facades made of plastered stones and roofs of traditional flat tiles, mechanical tiles, or slates, mark the entrance to the property. The residence consists of two buildings arranged at a right angle and adjoined by a square plan main tower, mentioned as early as 1443. The tower has retained its gun loopholes in its upper part, characteristic of its original defensive use. Its four-pitched roof is covered with Burgundy tiles, like the roofs of the residence, and is topped with two ridge finials while two dormer windows light up the attic of the residence. Access to the gravelled inner courtyard, located to the east of the fortified house, is through a small gatehouse whose porch is supported by two rounded arches. A more recent house, attached to the gatehouse, now houses the boiler room and a workshop. Finally, a second tower, to the south, attached to the main body of the residence, contains a spiral stone staircase. Between the two towers, the east and west facades of the dwelling, which has two levels under the roof, pierced by mainly straight openings and an oculus, are quite sober, covered everywhere except for the stone framing. Another character element contributing to the soul of the place is a contemporary garden created by the current occupants. The estate has retained its medieval appearance, and archival research has identified the presence of an ancient lordship from the first half of the 14th century.
