A charming footbridge spans the river, marking the boundary of the property, yet inviting you to go and say hello to the neighbours… A bear with its arms full awaits you there, reminding you that the Risle is considered the most beautiful river in Normandy, where spotting salmonids is no mere legend…. The estate is flat, laid out in the English style, dotted with meadows interspersed with trees and wild bushes. An imposing stone balustrade invites you down to the river, lending a touch of prestige to the property, dotted here and there with pedestals supporting elegant MEDICIS vases. The property has several entrances, one of which, on the roadside, offers a glimpse of a festooned gate, supported by tall stone pillars of the finest presence. The eye is drawn into the distance towards the wooded banks of the Risle, the verdant pastures that accompany it towards civilisation; nothing can disturb the magic of the place, a magic that the centuries have preserved. The torch is waiting to be taken up…… Cabinet LE NAIL - Lower-Normandy - Mr Eric DOSSEUR : +33 (0)2.43.98.20.20 Eric DOSSEUR, Individual company, registered in the Special Register of Commercial Agents, under the number 409 867 512 .

Nestled within an unspoiled natural environment, this unique property extends across more than 41 hectares (over 100 acres) of contiguous land, with the possibility of acquiring additional parcels to increase the estate to nearly 50 hectares. A truly remarkable domain where nature reigns supreme, offering a sense of freedom, privacy, and exclusivity that has become increasingly difficult to find. Protected from any visual or noise disturbance and immersed in an atmosphere of absolute tranquillity, the estate gradually reveals itself at the end of a majestic tree-lined driveway. Framed by centuries-old trees, this spectacular approach immediately sets the tone, announcing the extraordinary character of the property and creating an unforgettable first impression. From the very first moments, a feeling of harmony and understated elegance prevails. Here, time seems to stand still. Every perspective, every opening onto the surrounding landscape, and every architectural detail contributes to an environment where authenticity, refinement, and the French art of living come together in perfect balance. At the heart of the estate stands a remarkable 16th-century château offering approximately 400 sq.m of living space. Distinguished by two elegant towers that define its iconic silhouette, the residence has undergone a complete renovation carried out with exceptional care and respect for its heritage. Rather than pursuing an ostentatious restoration, the owners chose to preserve the soul of the property, embracing a timeless and sophisticated “gentleman farmer” spirit. Noble materials were carefully selected throughout to maintain the château’s architectural authenticity while seamlessly integrating contemporary standards of comfort and functionality. Aged hardwood floors, period fireplaces, exposed timber framing, character-filled joinery, and generous volumes create an atmosphere of rare elegance where every detail reflects centuries of history. The reception areas occupy a central place in the life of the estate. From the moment one enters, the interiors impress with their balance, natural light, and refined proportions. Designed for both conviviality and sophistication, the various reception rooms offer ideal spaces for entertaining. Two beautifully appointed lounges, each with its own distinctive atmosphere, provide warm and elegant settings for gathering with family and friends. Their original fireplaces further enhance the authentic charm of the residence and invite memorable evenings by the fire throughout the winter months. The dining room serves as a true entertaining space, comfortably accommodating large gatherings and special occasions. It perfectly embodies the welcoming lifestyle that defines this exceptional property. The fully equipped eat-in kitchen forms the true heart of the home. Organized around a magnificent professional-style range cooker, it will undoubtedly appeal to gastronomy enthusiasts and passionate hosts alike. Designed as a living space in its own right, it combines functionality, authenticity, and elegance. The sleeping quarters offer outstanding comfort. Six bedrooms are harmoniously distributed throughout the château, each enjoying a peaceful atmosphere and privileged views over the parkland, woodland, and surrounding natural scenery. Four bathrooms and shower rooms complete the accommodation, ensuring comfort and privacy for both family members and guests. A spacious wine cellar further enhances the estate’s amenities. A true tribute to the art of living of South-West France, it provides the ideal setting for preserving and showcasing a collection of fine wines. Outdoors, the estate reveals its full splendour. The immediate surroundings of the château have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a variety of relaxation and contemplation areas. An elegant swimming pool with its sun terrace offers the perfect setting for enjoying long summer days while overlooking the surrounding countryside and the estate’s preserved landscapes. Among the property's most remarkable features is undoubtedly its magnificent private lake of approximately one hectare. A natural mirror at the heart of the estate, the lake brings a poetic and spectacular dimension to the property. Throughout the seasons, the changing reflections of the water interact beautifully with the surrounding woods and meadows, creating scenery of exceptional beauty and an atmosphere of complete serenity. Nature lovers will equally appreciate the estate’s rich biodiversity, where flora and fauna thrive within a perfectly preserved ecosystem. Numerous outbuildings complete this exceptional ensemble and provide considerable potential for a variety of uses. A fully renovated independent studio offers comfortable accommodation for guests or staff. A large enclosed garage of more than 70 sq.m provides ample space for parking and storage. A substantial barn presents multiple opportunities for future development, whether for equestrian purposes, events, leisure activities, or additional storage. Finally, an independent caretaker’s house with its own garage further enhances the functionality and versatility of the estate. Rare for its history, exceptional for its environment, and remarkable for its potential, this property represents a unique opportunity within today’s luxury real estate market. Only one hour from Bordeaux, it offers a perfect balance between accessibility and seclusion, heritage and nature, elegance and authenticity. A genuine retreat for those who appreciate vast private grounds, preserved heritage, and the finest traditions of the French lifestyle. - What we love: a truly extraordinary property where the elegance of a 16th-century château meets the untamed beauty of more than 41 hectares of preserved nature, complemented by a stunning private lake, numerous outbuildings, and exceptional potential to create a unique and inspiring lifestyle project.
