A former priory from the 13th century, listed as a historical monument and nestled in the Morvan regional nature park in Burgundy. Saint-Jean-des-Bonshommes priory was a monastery that was part of the Order of Grandmont. It was built at the start of the 13th century where an antique sanctuary once stood. Anséric VI, Seigneur of Montréal, ordered construction of the edifice. The monastery underwent the French Wars of Religion in the 16th century. And in 1772, when Pope Clement XIV disbanded the Order of Grandmont, it was made available to the diocesan archbishop. Following the French Revolution, the monastery was sold as national property in 1791 and became a family property up to 1846 when it was damaged by a fire that destroyed most of the monastic buildings. The church, however, survived this fire. In 1880, it became a source of stones as building material, rather like an open quarry. Moved by this fate, a learned society acquired the edifice in 1905, requested that it be listed as a historical monument and set about restoring the edifice. The remaining church is characteristic of the architectural principles of the Order of Grandmont. It is the most imposing edifice in this monastic complex. It has a plain elevation without a door, a single nave and a closed chancel, beneath a brick barrel vault that stretches to a half-dome above an apse with three windows. The chapel’s elevations are made of different stones. The lower ones, evenly sized, are neatly carved blocks and the upper ones, raw rubble stones, lie where the vault rises up. The apse is ornamented outside with four elegant built-in columns. The remains of the monastic buildings have been preserved, including the cloister arches, the elegant arcades of the chapterhouse and part of the walls of the pantries and refectory. The church has a roof of barrel ties, with conical tiles for the apse, made in a local tile factory.

Particularly rare, this complex has retained its three original buildings, characteristic of a Romanesque commandery of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, later the Order of Malta: the chapel, listed as a Historic Monument since 1907, the commander's residence, and the tithe barn, whose facades and roofs are also listed as Historic Monuments. Such preservation is exceptional and confers upon the property a historical, architectural, and heritage value of the highest order. The chapel houses a remarkable medieval mural depicting Christ in Majesty in its apse. Two splendid Renaissance dormer windows in the east façade of the Commander's House, adorned with the sculpted coat of arms of Claude d'Ancienville, cupbearer to Francis I and Commander of Malta at Villemoison around 1530, attest to the estate's historical significance. The house is complemented by an elegant 16th-century stone stair tower and extended by a former farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, offering approximately 400 square meters of living space. Carefully restored, the property now comprises nine main rooms, including five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two shower rooms. It successfully combines the charm of period architecture with contemporary comfort. The grounds also include an outdoor swimming pool, several outbuildings, and extensive grounds. The tithe barn, with a footprint of approximately 100 square meters beneath a remarkable old timber frame, presents particularly interesting volumes and offers significant potential for development. The chapel, which remains consecrated, also offers the possibility of hosting weddings, concerts, or cultural and heritage events, in accordance with applicable regulations. This property would be equally suitable as a prestigious family residence, an exceptional second home, or a cultural or event-based hospitality project that showcases a rare historical heritage.

Nestled in the heart of a vast wooded park, entirely private and free from any disturbance, the Commanderie de Villemoison is a heritage property of remarkable authenticity. It lies within a verdant valley crossed by a stream, supplied by a natural spring and a Roman well sealed with lead. Exceptionally rare, the estate has preserved its three original buildings, characteristic of a Romanesque commandery of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, later the Order of Malta: the chapel (listed as a Historic Monument since 1907), the Commander's residence, and the tithe barn—formerly the refectory and dormitory of the monk-soldiers—whose façades and roofs are listed. Such preservation is outstanding and endows the property with exceptional historical, architectural, and heritage value. The chapel houses a remarkable medieval wall painting depicting Christ in Majesty in the apse, recently restored with the support of the DRAC (Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs). Two magnificent Renaissance dormer windows on the eastern façade of the Commander's residence, adorned with the carved coat of arms of Claude d’Ancienville—cupbearer to King Francis I and Commander of Malta at Villemoison around 1530—attest to the estate’s historical significance and evolution over the centuries. The residence is complemented by an elegant 16th-century stone stair tower and extended by a former farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, offering approximately 400 sqm of living space. Carefully restored, the property now comprises nine principal rooms, including five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two shower rooms. It successfully combines the charm of period architecture with modern comfort, allowing immediate occupancy. The attic, notable for its superb inverted ship-hull timber frame, as well as the room at the top of the tower, offer significant conversion potential. The grounds also feature an outdoor swimming pool, several outbuildings, and extensive land. A meadow of approximately two hectares, with the option to acquire additional acreage, offers numerous possibilities, particularly for equestrian use or animal facilities. The tithe barn, with a footprint of approximately 100 sqm beneath an impressive historic timber frame, offers striking volumes and considerable development potential. The chapel, still consecrated, also allows for the organisation of weddings, concerts, or cultural and heritage events, subject to applicable regulations. This property is ideally suited as a prestigious family residence, an exceptional second home, or a hospitality, cultural, or event-driven project highlighting rare historic heritage. The property is located just 6 kilometres from Cosne-sur-Loire, offering all shops and services. The A77 motorway is accessible at the same distance, providing access to the outskirts of Paris in approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Cosne-sur-Loire train station offers regular connections to Paris-Bercy in around two hours. As a protected Historic Monument, the estate may, subject to current legislation and administrative approvals, qualify for tax advantages on certain works, as well as grants or support from the DRAC for conservation and restoration projects. Heritage authorities are particularly attentive to the continued enhancement of the Commanderie de Villemoison. Conventual complexes that have preserved their medieval layout, original buildings, and such an unspoiled natural setting have become exceedingly rare. The Commanderie de Villemoison therefore represents a unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional heritage property spanning nearly nine centuries of history. As a property protected under the Historic Monuments Act, the estate may, subject to applicable legal provisions and administrative approvals, qualify for tax benefits on certain types of work, as well as grants or assistance from the DRAC for conservation and restoration projects.
