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

A 16th-century manor house surrounded by moats, and its 22-hectare estate, in the Berry countryside. From a small country road, a private drive leads to the property, which stands away from any neighbours in the vicinity. The residence gradually looms into view in the midst of meadows and old trees, including a hundred-year-old cedar. The two-storey, 16th-century manor house topped by an attic level is made of rendered stone, with quoins plus window and door surrounds made of barite stone quarried locally. The edifice is flanked by two towers and is topped by a steeply sloped roof made of flat tiles on the main section and slate for the hipped roof of the square tower. The other two-level, circular tower is topped by a conical slate roof. Many of the windows and doors are fitted with painted hinged shutters. To the south as well as the west of the manor, four outbuildings with simple volumes and gabled roofs made of tiles are a reminder of the estate’s former farming activity. Two of them have been transformed into a house and a holiday cottage, while the two others are used for storage or as a workshop. All the manor’s buildings are surrounded by moats, some of which are still filled with water. The estate spreads out over approximately 22 uninterrupted hectares, mainly made up of meadows, an almost 6-hectare wood and a pond.
