The basement houses two vaulted cellars totalling 70 m². The 1.9-hectare landscaped park, planted with remarkable trees, directly surrounds the château and ensures its privacy, featuring a swimming pool, a well and a spring. Just a short walk away, on the other side of the path, over 5.7 hectares of woodland and meadows extend the estate and frame the horizon.
