A chateau dating back to the 17th and 19th centuries with outhouses, a swimming pool and a tennis court in over 13 hectares of wooded grounds with meadows. The entrance that leads into the property is located beside a secondary road that runs along an outhouse on the property’s southern edge. There is an entrance gate in a tall wall. A square bartizan in the corner of the long outhouse keeps watch, looking down at this entrance. The complex of annexes form a U shape that lies opposite the chateau. Together, all the buildings create a courtyard in the middle of them. This court is dotted with a few trees, including palms and a silver wattle beside the chateau. The chateau has a ground floor and a first floor. It is crowned with a gable roof of terracotta tiles. An adjoining square tower with a slate roof protrudes from it, looking down over the whole complex. Exposed stonework forms its elevations, which are punctuated with rectangular windows. White dressed limestone with incrusted shells forms its quoins and its door and window surrounds. To the north-east of the chateau, there are tall trees, then a tennis court beside a meadow. Further east, there are two other houses on the grounds. They are small with roofs of barrel tiles and rendered elevations. The first of these two dwellings is a former orangery. A swimming pool lies beside it. To the north, meadows neighbour woods. And to the east, a river edges the grounds. A few walls bear witness to a stone breeding pond that was once here.
