Ref.4799 : French estate for sale in Brenne region. Just three and a half hours from the capital, the Brenne, known as the ‘Land of a Thousand Ponds’, is a natural region renowned for its unspoilt landscapes and exceptional biodiversity. With its vast stretches of water surrounded by forests, moors and meadows, it is instantly recognisable. It is a sight to behold at sunrise, when the ponds glisten with patches of lingering mist and ducks, coots, teals and even wild swans take their first flight. The richness of the local flora and fauna continues to attract birdwatchers from all over the world, as well as hikers and families seeking unspoilt nature home to remarkable protected species such as the white water lily and an iconic turtle: the European pond turtle. As a Regional Nature Park, La Brenne is not merely a nature reserve; it is a region where nature and human activity have been in balance for centuries, ever since monks set about draining the marshes, creating ponds and planting forests. An ideal environment for game and birds, offering the opportunity for dynamic, varied and responsible hunting (and fishing). TrIn this area, where settlements are few and far between, the estate enjoys complete tranquillity, nestled in the heart of a landscape where meadows, woods and ponds alternate. Yet this seclusion is easily accessible, as Paris is just three and a half hours away via the A20 motorway, whilst twelve trains a day connect the capital to Argenton-sur-Creuse station, 25 kilometres away.

As enclosed waters classified as Category 2, they are fished at an average rate of once a year, for the owner’s benefit. The private hunting estate currently has a quota of 6 deer (2 stags, 2 does and 2 fawns), 6 roe deer, 20 wild boar, as well as waterfowl and woodcocks in accordance with annual quotas. The farm, which maintains the estate, currently has around forty cattle, but the land could accommodate up to a hundred. Paths provide access to the entire estate.
