Nestled in the heart of a large, wooded park, sheltered from prying eyes and all disturbances, the Commandery of Villemoison is a heritage property of rare authenticity, situated in a verdant valley crossed by a stream and fed by a spring and a Romanesque well. 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. As a listed Historic Monument, the estate may, subject to current legal provisions and administrative authorizations, qualify for tax benefits on certain works, as well as subsidies or support from the DRAC (Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs) for conservation and restoration projects. Les honoraires d'agence sont à la charge de l'acquéreur, soit 2,92% TTC du prix hors honoraires.

Tucked away in a lush green valley, in the Berry countryside so dear to George Sand, lies a place seemingly untouched by time: a 12th-century former Cistercian abbey, listed as a Historic Monument, whose buildings and surviving remains tell the story of nearly nine centuries of history. Set within an unspoilt natural environment and crossed by a small river, the property extends over more than 4 hectares of parkland, meadows and gardens, partly enclosed by old stone walls. From the moment one arrives, its charm is undeniable: ancient stonework, traditional roofs, century-old trees, courtyards and gardens come together to create a setting of remarkable authenticity. The former Prior’s House forms the main residence. It comprises eight rooms, including five bedrooms, and retains precious traces of its past: the former cloister gallery, wall paintings, arrow slits and historic architectural features. These details give the property that rare and distinctive atmosphere found only in houses deeply rooted in history. Nearby, the former monks’ refectory, measuring approximately 130 sqm, has been restored and converted into a guest house. A former henhouse, now transformed into a studio, together with several outbuildings barns, garage, cellar and boiler room complete the estate. The property has already benefited from significant restoration work, but now awaits a new owner to continue and complete its restoration. It will appeal to someone with a genuine appreciation for architectural heritage, whose ambition is not to transform the property, but rather to reveal its full potential while preserving its unique identity. For this former abbey is far more than simply a property. It is a place with a soul, a history and a presence of its own a heritage to live in, preserve and pass on to future generations. Located just 10 minutes from a town offering all amenities, and along the historic Way of Saint James to Santiago de Compostela, this is a rare opportunity for those with a passion for historic architecture, ancient stone and properties steeped in history.AI-enhanced photography no alteration to the property’s features

In Burgundy, in the land of Colette, 2 hours from Paris, a Belle Époque seaside villa on just over 1 hectare. Along the marked paths, hedgerows appear, an open landscape animated by many paths lined with shrubs, ponds, forests, and small hills. A varied and hilly countryside, where small peaceful roads wind through. A double wrought iron gate marks the entrance to the park, from where direct access from the road leads to a curved driveway that unfolds in a loop in front of the house, placed in the center, then extends towards the outbuilding at the back; a second independent access serves a parking area that can accommodate up to ten cars. The forest borders the property. An old well remains, which could be reused. The villa is said to have been built during the Roaring Twenties at the initiative of a wealthy Mexican for a woman close to him. Local tradition reports that he arrived by chance at the station of Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye before acquiring the land. The main entrance is distinguished by its ancient columns supporting a niche, a pear-balance balustrade, and a door topped by a segmented glass semicircular transom. Oriented to the southwest, built on a basement and raised to three levels, the building adopts an asymmetrical composition. Its main volume, coated in a light shade, is topped with a two-sided slate roof, punctuated by dormer windows. A square tower, slightly out of alignment, sits at one corner and features a covered belvedere. The facade is rhythmized by large arched windows on the ground floor, extended by a continuous balcony on the upper level, protected by an elaborately wrought metal railing. On the first floor, two paired windows open onto small projecting balconies.

In the Berry countryside, a 16th-century manor surrounded by moats and its 22-hectare estate. From a small country road, a private driveway leads to the property, which is set away from any immediate neighbors. The house gradually reveals itself amidst meadows and ancient trees, including a towering hundred-year-old cedar. Dated from the 16th century and rising two levels topped with attics, the manor is built of coated masonry, reinforced at the corners and around the openings by frames made of barite stone, extracted from nearby quarries. The building is flanked by two towers. The entire structure is crowned with a steep roof covered with flat tiles for the main house and slate for the four-sided tower. The other tower, circular, rises two levels and is topped with a conical slate roof. Many openings are protected by painted wooden shutters. To the south and west of the manor, four outbuildings with simple volumes and two-pitched tile roofs recall the estate's former agricultural vocation. Two of them are converted into housing and a guesthouse, while the other two are used as storage or workshops. The entire manor is surrounded by moats, some of which still hold water. The estate covers approximately 22 hectares in one piece, consisting mainly of meadows, a nearly 6-hectare wood, and a pond.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 19th-century, renovated manor house and wooded grounds in the south of the Sologne region . Situated close to the town centre, the property is located behind a long stone wall and is accessible via a wrought-iron gate accentuated by a ha-ha and a roundabout and flanked by pillars topped with two impressive hanging Italian-style wrought-iron lanterns. Past the gate, two old outbuildings face one another. Once occupied by the stables and storerooms, they today have been converted into dwellings, built out of brick and stone, in the same style as the private mansion, but one of the two no longer belongs to the estate. However, it could be acquired as an option. As for the meticulously landscaped garden with its small ornamental pond, lawns and trees, it precedes the private mansion, the main façade of which, sheltered from view, faces southeast.
