This property is an exceptional residence built in the mid-19th century by a family of remarkable historical merchants of brandy. Descended from a lineage that developed, as early as the 18th century, a recognized know-how in the production and distribution of fine spirits, this family significantly contributed to the international acclaim of its production. It was in this spirit of excellence, rigor, and success that the residence was built, an architectural symbol of prosperity and elegance, created on a long-term culture and the art of living. The building, constructed of stone and crowned with a slate roof, presents harmonious neo-baroque style architecture, characterized by its sculpted cornices, brackets, and perfectly mastered symmetry. In the heart of a vast wooded park of several hectares, planted with century-old trees and natural meadows, the property offers a setting of great tranquility.The living area is approximately 1,500 m². It is spread over three levels and includes twenty-four rooms, of which seventeen are bedrooms and fourteen are bathrooms. The reception rooms on the ground floor, bathed in light, open onto a south-facing terrace and are laid out in a row: lounges, dining room, library, office, as well as an old kitchen transformed into a fitness space.The upper floors house several elegant suites and bedrooms, while the attic contains a recreational area including a private cinema, a game room, and a relaxation lounge. The outbuildings blend harmoniously with the property and enhance its functional and prestigious character. They include two independent guest rooms, a caretaker's house with a garage and private garden, as well as a large multipurpose building dedicated to hosting receptions, seminars, or private events. A heated pool measuring 6 × 12 meters completes this rare environment, where comfort, intimacy, and elegance intermingle. The whole extends over several contiguous hectares. The outbuildings indeed allow for the possibility of creating a winery, installing stills, as well as all the necessary infrastructures for the reception, aging, and production of brandies.

With its spacious lounges, attached guest rooms, event building, caretaker's house, extensive park, and heated pool, this property represents a prestigious location and an ideal operational base for the creation of a new high-end spirits house.
