Seven cellars carved into the hillside: A unique feature of the property is its seven cellars carved into the hillside, offering a variety of original and versatile uses. One of these spaces has been converted into a genuine tasting cellar—naturally cool and particularly delightful during the summer months. Another, offering more spacious dimensions, houses a collection of vintage vehicles and has also served as a stable for horses. Additional areas are dedicated to garden equipment and firewood storage, while one cellar preserves two antique bread ovens, standing as a testament to the property’s history. Above this complex, a pine grove has been planted to protect the hillside and the cellars beneath. A park, a water feature, and a secluded swimming pool: the approach to the manor is via an elegant bridge crossing a natural stream, immediately lending the property its distinctive character. The meticulously maintained park offers lovely walking areas and includes a fenced section, which is particularly convenient for pets.

Originally from the 15th century, its central building is topped with a local tile gable roof and punctuated by tall cross-windows. Flanked on one side by a stairway tower with a modillion frieze and a slate roof, on the manor’s other gable end, stands a more modest one-storey building topped with an ancient tile roof. With plaster-coated walls, the manor is decorated with an ashlar stone cornice under the eaves as well as tuffeau stone window and door surrounds. In addition, the frames for the house’s single- or double-glazed cross-windows have all been replaced and are safeguarded by interior shutters. Behind the house, 14 cellars have been hollowed out of the hillside, some of which once contained mushroom beds of varying depths. According to local legend, they also once communicated with the nearby Possonnière manor house where Pierre de Ronsard was born. Lastly, the property’s grounds also include a formal garden, an Italian-inspired garden, a landscaped garden, pinewoods, a dry riverbed and a pasture.
