Ref. 4820: Exceptional 148-acre hunting estate with ponds in Sologne, 2½ hours from Paris Located in the Loir-et-Cher department, in the heart of the Sologne region renowned for its lakes, this estate enjoys a particularly sought-after setting, celebrated for its exceptional hunting appeal and the richness of its unspoiled natural environment. Easily accessible, it lies less than two and a half hours from Paris, thus offering a perfect balance between rural tranquility and proximity to the capital. The nearby town of Salbris features an SNCF railway station providing access to Paris in approximately one and a half hours, a significant advantage for regular travel. Essential shops and services are situated just 7 kilometers away, ensuring everyday convenience. Finally, Romorantin-Lanthenay, the capital of the Sologne region, is approximately a twenty-minute drive away, offering a more comprehensive range of services, infrastructure, and activities. The property comprises a former farmstead arranged around a quadrangular courtyard, within which pheasant and duck breeding activities were previously carried out. The buildings are functionally organized around this central courtyard, forming a coherent and well-structured ensemble. The residential portion, adjoining the former agricultural buildings, represents approximately one quarter of the total built footprint. It takes the form of a traditional L-shaped longhouse constructed in red brick (characteristic of the Sologne region) and topped with locally typical flat tiles. The ground floor features a spacious living room fitted with an insert fireplace and a traditional hearth, extended by a secondary lounge that also benefits from a fireplace. This area leads to a utility room with sanitary facilities. The layout is completed by a bedroom with its own shower room and WC, as well as an independent kitchen. Upstairs, the property offers two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room and WC, ensuring a functional arrangement suited to both residential use and guest accommodation. Set at a right angle and accessible exclusively from the outside, a second single-storey dwelling completes the ensemble. It comprises a living room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms, each equipped with its own shower room and WC, allowing for fully independent use (such as a caretaker’s residence, guest accommodation, or ancillary activity). Overall, the property benefits from a rational layout and offers significant potential for adaptation, particularly in the context of a residential, hunting, or hospitality project. OUTBUILDINGS : The outbuildings are numerous and extensive. Built in the typical Sologne style, with brick and tile, they form an almost enclosed complex accessed via an imposing porch. Although all activity has now ceased, the majority of the buildings have retained their original condition. Traces of the former agricultural and hunting operations can still be found here: breeding aviaries, nesting boxes, incubators, chick rearing pens, disinfection chambers and rearing pens, offering a faithful glimpse into how the estate was organised in the past. A barn with a floor area of over 285 sqm and a ceiling height exceeding 5 metres, used for storage and equipment, as well as former staff accommodation, complete the complex. Nearby is a large shed with a floor area of nearly 450 sqm, formerly used in particular for fattening aviaries and equipment storage. Finally, a former outdoor aviary enclosed by netting further confirms the property’s former potential. Whilst the complex has undeniable character and significant potential for renovation, it also bears the marks of time: some buildings now require repair work, as several walls have been weakened over the years and maintenance has become inadequate. LAND : The land, enclosed on three sides by a perimeter fence over 2 metres high, forms a cohesive and secure estate of approximately 148 acres. It offers a habitat particularly well-suited to hunting, characterised by a balanced mix of woodland, fallow land, game-rearing fields and wetlands. The estate comprises three ponds, two of which cover an area of over 3.7 acres each, giving a total water surface area estimated at around 13.6 acres. These bodies of water, combined with the surrounding habitats (reed beds, grassy banks, foraging areas), provide optimal conditions for the development and maintenance of wildlife. The entire biotope is particularly well-suited to waterfowl hunting, whilst also allowing for the presence and pursuit of woodcock, as well as roe deer, deer and wild boar. The annual hunting quota is one adult stag, one young stag, six roe deer and an unlimited number of wild boar. This is a cohesive, high-quality area, whose intrinsic characteristics alone constitute a key factor in the estate’s appeal. Cabinet LE NAIL – Loiret - Sologne – M.
