Réf. 4843 : 84 acres estate 15 km from Vierzon and 70 km from Orléans. Located in the heart of the Loir-et-Cher department, between Romorantin-Lanthenay and Salbris, this contiguous plot of around 30 hectares offers a preserved natural environment, sheltered from view. Easily accessible via the SNCF train stations in both towns, it also benefits from being in close proximity to all essential shops and services. Paris is approximately 190 kilometres away (around 2½ hours by motorway), whilst Orléans is less than an hour’s drive away, 70 kilometres from the site.  The main house, with its unique charm reminiscent of a small manor house, consists of a two-storey tower built of rendered masonry and covered with slate. This is connected to a second building, more typical of the region, constructed of brick and half-timbering under flat tiles, by an intermediate section of rendered masonry with exposed stonework, also covered with flat tiles. Facing north-west/south-east, the property offers a living area of approximately 160 sqm, laid out as follows: On the ground floor: a spacious 36 sqm living room with a fireplace, a small sitting room, a 10 sqm bedroom, a shower room, a toilet, as well as a kitchen opening onto the living room (also 36 sqm) with a fireplace, and a study. Upstairs: two bedrooms of 11 sqm and 20 sqm, one of which has its own bathroom, a dressing room, a mezzanine playroom and an attic. Outbuildings : There are numerous outbuildings situated to the north of the main house. These consist of an old L-shaped farmhouse, complemented by barns and agricultural sheds. In the L-shaped section, there is a caretaker’s house comprising a spacious 50 sqm living room, a utility room, two bedrooms (11 and 12 sqm), a bathroom, a toilet and a laundry room. At the corner, another building houses a hunting room with a kitchen, as well as a small self-contained studio comprising a kitchen (20 sqm), a bedroom (17 sqm) and a shower room. All of these buildings require significant renovation work to realise their full potential. Finally, two further buildings, currently in an advanced state of disrepair, complete the property and could provide a valuable source of materials for the restoration of the farmhouse. The land stretches harmoniously around the property, forming a cohesive whole comprising woodland and natural fallow land. This diversity of habitats fosters a rich ecological environment and provides a variety of habitats conducive to the development of wildlife. In particular, wild boar and roe deer are regularly spotted here, along with the occasional passage of red deer, highlighting the site’s appeal to hunters. In the immediate vicinity of the main house, a small terrace allows you to enjoy pleasant moments outdoors in a peaceful, leafy setting. An above-ground swimming pool completes these facilities, providing a welcome space for relaxation during the warmer months. This property, on a manageable scale, lends itself perfectly to sustainable management and targeted improvements (clearing, game crops) to fully optimise its potential. It thus offers an ideal setting to enjoy a preserved environment, conducive to peace and relaxation. Perfectly suited to friendly hunting with friends or family, this property is situated in a sought-after area of the Sologne, renowned for the quality of its hunting grounds and its proximity to towns with SNCF railway stations.

An 18th-century residence, with 16th-century outbuildings and a formal garden, in the Loire Valley, near Chinon. At the corner of two small streets in the village centre, an ironwork gate framed by two embossed pillars opens into the main courtyard. The property was completed at the end of the 15th century and was destined at the time for collection of land tax for the king. In the middle of the 16th century, it was acquired by the Dreux family who owned it until the French Revolution. Its occupants were in turn an officer of the waterways and forests of Chinon, prosecutor for the bailiwick of the same town and a king's adviser. It was partially burned in 1789, after which the main building was restored in the Directory era style. The three-storey building has a hipped roof dotted with four gable dormers with triangular pediments. The tuffeau stone façade is topped by a modillon cornice. The many 18th-century bay windows enable light to stream into both sides of the house. The 16th-century outbuildings, found on either side of the house, are also made of tuffeau stone, combining façades of dressed stone and rubble stone. The roofs are made of slate and one of the buildings is topped by a hipped roof with slightly drawn back eaves. In addition to bedrooms and living rooms, the outbuildings contain two plum ovens that are closely linked to the municipality’s history, a bread oven, an orangery and a functioning well. In front of the house, the symmetry of the formal garden provides rhythm to the main courtyard. To the rear, there is a landscaped garden and a swimming pool. At a depth of 12 metres, there is a cellar with many tuffeau stone vaults, the use of which can still be read on the stone. The property stands in a fully enclosed plot of 4,521 m².

On the gates of Yvelines, a former 17th-century presbytery attached to a remarkable medieval church. Less than an hour from Paris, in a preserved village at the gates of Yvelines, this former 17th century presbytery attached to a remarkable medieval church offers a rare living environment, where history, heritage, and nature meet harmoniously. Behind its gate and ancient walls, a walled and tree-lined garden of 1,715 sqm reveals itself, a true green haven preserved. The seasons succeed each other to the rhythm of the bells of the nearby church, in a peaceful and timeless atmosphere that gives the place a unique charm. Charged with history, this home has preserved all the authenticity that characterizes beautiful family houses: old floors, tiles, exposed beams, fireplaces, and generous volumes form a warm and elegant ensemble. As a place of retreat and inspiration, the property has hosted over the years several figures from the literary world, notably François Nourissier and Julien Green, attracted by the serenity of the village and the special spirit of the place. The main house develops about 200 sqm of living space. It includes an entrance with wardrobe, a separate kitchen, a living room on parquet with fireplace, a dining room on tiles with fireplace, as well as a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, a spectacular reception room of over 50 sqm, enhanced by a remarkable exposed roof frame, is one of the signatures of the property.
