An 18th-century château, part of which is classified as a Historic Monument and almost 13 hectares of grounds near Guéret, in the Creuse department. As you leave the village in the direction of Aubusson, a gate with pilastered sides crowned by an entablature with a projecting cornice marks the main entrance to the property, which adjoins the former gatehouse, which has now been converted into a gite.

An 18th & 19th century manor house set in 2 8 ha of grounds with a pond and old moat, in eastern Creuse, not far from the Puy-de-Dôme department. Set between a dry moat on one side and a pond on the other, which together form the predominant part of the boundaries of the 2.8ha property, the manor house dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries. It still stands on the raised site of the original stronghold. After crossing a fixed bridge with wrought iron grille and pedestrian gate, a driveway leads across a lawned, tree-lined esplanade to the manor house and the outbuilding located on one side. The two buildings are rectangular in plan, with roofs of flat tiles topping exposed and lime-pointed coursed granite masonry walls. The windows have louvered and plain shutters, their surrounds and the corner quoins are of dressed stone. To the rear, a lawn stretches down to the lake, which can be glimpsed through the foliage.
