A listed historic estate dating from the second half of the 12th century, set within a preserved domain of over 7 hectares.
Nestled in the heart of a vast wooded park, entirely private and free from any disturbance, the Commanderie de Villemoison is a heritage property of remarkable authenticity. It lies within a verdant valley crossed by a stream, supplied by a natural spring and a Roman well sealed with lead.
Exceptionally rare, the estate has preserved 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—formerly the refectory and dormitory of the monk-soldiers—whose façades and roofs are listed. Such preservation is outstanding and endows the property with exceptional historical, architectural, and heritage value.
The chapel houses a remarkable medieval wall painting depicting Christ in Majesty in the apse, recently restored with the support of the DRAC (Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs).
Two magnificent Renaissance dormer windows on the eastern façade of the Commander's residence, adorned with the carved coat of arms of Claude d’Ancienville—cupbearer to King Francis I and Commander of Malta at Villemoison around 1530—attest to the estate’s historical significance and evolution over the centuries.
The residence 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 sqm of living space. Carefully restored, the property now comprises nine principal rooms, including five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two shower rooms. It successfully combines the charm of period architecture with modern comfort, allowing immediate occupancy. The attic, notable for its superb inverted ship-hull timber frame, as well as the room at the top of the tower, offer significant conversion potential.
The grounds also feature an outdoor swimming pool, several outbuildings, and extensive land. A meadow of approximately two hectares, with the option to acquire additional acreage, offers numerous possibilities, particularly for equestrian use or animal facilities.
The tithe barn, with a footprint of approximately 100 sqm beneath an impressive historic timber frame, offers striking volumes and considerable development potential.
The chapel, still consecrated, also allows for the organisation of weddings, concerts, or cultural and heritage events, subject to applicable regulations.
This property is ideally suited as a prestigious family residence, an exceptional second home, or a hospitality, cultural, or event-driven project highlighting rare historic heritage.
The property is located just 6 kilometres from Cosne-sur-Loire, offering all shops and services. The A77 motorway is accessible at the same distance, providing access to the outskirts of Paris in approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Cosne-sur-Loire train station offers regular connections to Paris-Bercy in around two hours.
As a protected Historic Monument, the estate may, subject to current legislation and administrative approvals, qualify for tax advantages on certain works, as well as grants or support from the DRAC for conservation and restoration projects. Heritage authorities are particularly attentive to the continued enhancement of the Commanderie de Villemoison.
Conventual complexes that have preserved their medieval layout, original buildings, and such an unspoiled natural setting have become exceedingly rare.
The Commanderie de Villemoison therefore represents a unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional heritage property spanning nearly nine centuries of history.
As a property protected under the Historic Monuments Act, the estate may, subject to applicable legal provisions and administrative approvals, qualify for tax benefits on certain types of work, as well as grants or assistance from the DRAC for conservation and restoration projects. The seller is responsible for the fees.
