Mansion in Chaumont Facing a wooded park, this mansion in Chaumont embodies the elegance of the grand bourgeois residences of the 19th century. Its stone facade, landscaped garden, and open view of the valley create a setting that is both urban and bucolic, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. The generous volumes, majestic staircase, and period details?moldings, woodwork, ironwork?tell a story of craftsmanship and refinement. Here, heritage combines with the tranquility of a residential neighborhood, a stone's throw from the heart of the city and its cultural attractions. The spirit of a historic residence Upon entering, a central spiral staircase rises under a zenithal skylight, offering a first glimpse of the architecture. The house unfolds its rooms like a suite of living rooms and bedrooms bathed in light. The antique woodwork, marble fireplaces, and oak floors create a setting of rare authenticity. The recent renovation has respected the soul of the place while adding discreet comforts: gentle air conditioning, modern heating, and contemporary touches in the kitchen and bathrooms. Each space, whether dedicated to entertaining or relaxation, retains the nobility of a private mansion designed to welcome guests and preserve privacy. Here, family life fits naturally into an atmosphere of history and serenity. A garden suspended above the valley Hidden from view, the landscaped garden opens up to unexpected vistas. Behind the hedges and low walls, the view stretches out towards the valley and the edge of the forests. Two south-facing terraces invite you to prolong the seasons, enjoy lunch in the open air, or contemplate the sunsets over the Haut-Marne countryside. The mature trees, Medici sculptures, and carefully designed paths create an atmosphere that is both rural and urban. Here, the heart of the city is never far away, but nature reclaims its rights, offering a rare setting where fresh air and elegance come together. Chaumont and Haute-Marne Chaumont, a town steeped in history with a rich heritage, is best explored on foot: ancient streets, a basilica, museums, and markets bring daily life to life. All around, Haute-Marne unfolds a mosaic of forests, lakes, and fortified villages. Thirty minutes away, Langres stands with its ramparts, while the vineyards of Monsaugeonnais and the large lakes invite you to take walks and enjoy water sports. The location is strategic: close to major highways and the train station connecting Paris, Dijon, and Nancy, the house offers the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility. A bourgeois residence in Haute-Marne that allows you to enjoy the charm of a small town while remaining connected to major cultural centers.

Ref 4809: Manor house with guest rooms and a reception hall set in 7.9-hectare grounds near Troyes. This manor house is situated on the outskirts of a village, just five minutes from the A5 motorway junction, on the road leading to the charming little town of Châteauvillain. The River Aube runs alongside the property on one side, its current more brisk than tranquil. At the far end of the grounds, an old poplar grove traces fine vertical lines against the horizon. Beyond the river, the view stretches far into the distance, taking in gently rolling countryside, bordered by the wooded fringe that looms in the distance. The place exudes a delightful atmosphere steeped in bourgeois classicism, evoking those hushed Sundays of yesteryear, when customs were still carefully observed. This imposing residence, like a stone vessel moored on the banks of the Aube, is currently in good condition. It now awaits an ambitious project, in a strategic region at the crossroads of Champagne and Burgundy, on a route linking the north with more southerly horizons. This property comprises 21 rooms, including 11 bedrooms, spread across four areas within a single building, with a total floor area of approximately 850 sqm. On the left is the residential section (identifiable by the modern door). On the ground floor, it comprises an entrance hall, a dining room and a kitchen. The upper floors comprise an office in a hallway, three bedrooms and two shower rooms, as well as a master suite with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. This living area, designed as a true ‘home within a home’, is separate from the guest accommodation, as well as the garage and workshops (basketry). The area housing the guest rooms and reception opens onto a French-style billiard room, facing an elegant fireplace adorned with a carved wooden lintel. This room leads into a kitchen steeped in history, where it is said that Paul Bocuse once worked: his name appears above the door, whilst a collection of pots and pans keeps his memory alive. The tour continues, culminating in the true heart of the property: a former drawing room of remarkable proportions, extended by a veranda offering a pleasant view of the grounds. Featuring a 19th-century fireplace, this room now hosts receptions, particularly weddings. Finally, this space is equipped with separate toilet facilities for men and women, designed to accommodate large numbers of visitors. Upstairs, the first section comprises five bedrooms, two shower rooms and two bathrooms. A second section, with an atmosphere imbued with old-world charm, includes two further bedrooms and a bathroom. One of these bedrooms, a truly unique room, stands out for its four fully painted walls, creating an immersive setting where wild boars, stags and does seem to watch over the property from the early hours of the morning. Finally, a staircase leads to two attics, one of which boasts high ceilings. The third section of the building, which houses the garage, comprises two rooms with unfinished floors on the ground floor, as well as two further floors to be converted, including an attic. The fourth section comprises the old mill, known locally as ‘la vannerie’, which has retained all its equipment from the last century, as if frozen in time, ready to be brought back to life. On the ground floor, there is a large garage and a kitchen opening out onto both the grounds and a small canal designed to supply water to the mill. The upper floors offer, subject to some renovation work, excellent potential for conversion, allowing for the creation of a family home comprising up to six bedrooms, two bathrooms and two stacked attics. The outbuildings cover a total area of approximately 3,500 sqm. They comprise: A/ A garage Adjacent to the main building is a garage covering an area of approximately 500 sqm. B/ The accommodation building Covering an area of approximately 1,500 sqm, this reception and accommodation building comprises five dormitories, toilet facilities, a kitchen with a dining area and a storage space.

A local path runs alongside the wooded area on one side, whilst the park is bordered on the other by the River Aube. The park's appeal lies today - and will lie even more so in the future - in the refreshing atmosphere and the enjoyment the river offers on fine days.

RIVER CHARM AND HOSPITALITY POTENTIAL ON THE BANKS OF THE AUBE MANOR HOUSE NEAR CHAUMONT On the banks of the River Aube, a former 15th-century mill, converted into a country house in the 18th century, boasts architecture that blends seamlessly into the landscape. Light-coloured stone, balanced volumes and outbuildings form a complex structured around a park of around eight hectares. Water frames the views and creates a constant dialogue between the building and nature. The interior layout reveals a structure suited to various uses, encompassing existing living spaces, areas dedicated to hospitality and spaces waiting to be reimagined. AN INTERIOR STEEPED IN HISTORY In La Ferté-sur-Aube, the walls preserve the memory of the original mill, evident in the depth of the spaces and the flow of the rooms. The living areas flow seamlessly into one another, accommodating both daily life and larger gatherings. The bedrooms, including several suites, form part of this continuity. One part of the house offers the privacy of residential use, whilst another lends itself to accommodation. Other spaces, still in the making, provide a foundation for future development, hinting at additional fittings depending on the projects envisaged. Further along, certain spaces reveal a more distinct purpose. A former professional kitchen, designed to orchestrate shared moments, evokes the past presence of renowned chefs. Not far away, a reception room continues this theme, allowing one to imagine gatherings, celebrations or communal occasions. More discreet, the mill's former machinery stands as a unique witness. It introduces an almost scenographic dimension, where the site's technical heritage can become a backdrop for more unexpected experiences or uses. The site suggests as much as it structures, leaving room for gradual appropriation, somewhere between habitation and project. THE PARK AS A REFUGE Outside, the estate stretches across meadows, mature trees and a natural riverside. The park, covering around eight hectares, forms an open landscape, ideal for a variety of uses, from simple leisure to outdoor hospitality activities. The outbuildings, already partially restored, are arranged around the manor house and extend its presence. Barns, former dormitories and ancillary buildings form a structured ensemble, offering additional spaces to be utilised as required. A tennis court completes the ensemble and contributes to the estate's welcoming atmosphere. Amidst stone, water and vegetation, the site maintains a balanced rhythm, allowing for a harmonious blend of private life and hospitality. A TERRITORY TO EXPLORE At the heart of a still-unspoilt region, between the vineyards of Champagne and the great forests of northern Burgundy, La Ferté-sur-Aube sets a slower, almost suspended pace. In the immediate vicinity, the National Forest Park encompasses one of the largest protected forest areas in Western Europe, offering an immersion in unspoilt nature. The landscapes alternate between deep forests and the hillsides of Champagne. Just a few minutes away, the Côte des Bar invites you to discover a lesser-known vineyard, whilst Burgundy extends the horizon. Let's imagine a day that begins in the tranquillity of the surrounding woods. Morning light streams through the rooms, accompanying a shared breakfast. Later, the roads lead to the vineyards, the cellars open, and the traditions are passed on. The afternoon brings us back to the estate. Our pace slows in the park or the neighbouring woods, as we observe and breathe in the air. In the evening, the spaces come alive again; a table is set, the place buzzes with activity, giving way to more intimate moments or larger gatherings. In this spirit, the place welcomes as much as it inspires. It becomes the setting for stays, gatherings or celebrations, underpinned by a direct relationship between nature, architecture and use. AGENCY'S VIEW This manor house in Laferté-sur-Aube offers a clear distinction between living space and project space. A former mill converted into a residence, it is situated in a sought-after setting between Champagne and Burgundy, in the immediate vicinity of a preserved natural area. Its layout, enhanced by spaces dedicated to hospitality, gastronomy and more unique uses, allows for a variety of projects, ranging from residential to hospitality, within a fluid and evolving approach to the site.

A chateau, a chapel and vast outbuildings on 17 ha of predominantly wooded land in the Champagne region. Not all the impressive buildings composing this property can be glimpsed through the monumental, wrought iron gates. First comes an admirable chapel, standing like a candle whose glow would bless the serenity of the premises. Next comes the chateau, a vast white building standing amidst the grasslands that conceal seven constructions, including a Cistercian barn.
