A large gate opens onto a tree-lined and landscaped courtyard bordered by a barn, the former stables, a shelter, a veranda and a small guest house. At the rear, accessible via a second gate, you will find a veritable hidden garden with winding footpaths offering a spectacular view. This is an idyllic and unspoilt setting for lovers of the countryside and citadels, while remaining close to the local amenities. The property is bursting with potential for any number of projects, from use as a family home to an event space or guest house.

A MANSION IN PUISAYE In Puisaye, homes that have been passed down through generations possess a unique identity. The Maison des Pimolles is one such home: its architecture evokes the region's past and history. Behind its 19th-century façade, nearly 380 m² of living space opens onto a one-hectare wooded park, complete with an outbuilding of approximately 100 m², a swimming pool seamlessly integrated into the garden, and a pétanque court. Just before the gate, the freely accessible municipal tennis court already offers a glimpse of the lifestyle this home has to offer. A place where one can easily imagine large summer gatherings around the table, family reunions, and the rhythm of the seasons that characterizes the Burgundian countryside. A HOME THAT BELONGS TO THE LANDSCAPE As you approach Mézilles, the road leaves the main thoroughfares to wind through the gentle hills of the Puisaye region. Here, hedgerows line the paths, tall trees rise like cathedrals above the roads, and the homes seem to have long since found their rightful place. La Maison des Pimolles comes into view around a bend in the road, set back from Mézilles' main street. Its bourgeois architecture evokes the elegance of 19th-century Burgundian mansions. Its proportions are balanced; its windows and glass doors generously invite in light; and the whole retains a simplicity that transcends the ages without ever losing its character. The renovation carried out in 2016 delicately complements this history. The original materials remain at the heart of the story: the subtle blend of hardwood floors and terracotta tiles, the exposed beams, the open fireplaces, and the spacious rooms give it an atmosphere that is as warm as it is airy. The living room becomes the heart of the home. Conversations flow freely here before the large windows facing the garden, while the kitchen, with its contemporary design, naturally complements everyday life. A HOME DESIGNED TO WELCOME The property offers a way of living where everyone finds their place: the entryway is flanked by a small living room and the dining room, both facing the garden, while a hallway leads to the kitchen, which opens onto a spacious living room?warmed by a fireplace?adjacent to the billiards room. The floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the terrace and the pool below. The eight bedrooms (including two suites with their own bathrooms), spread across the top two floors and accessed via bright hallways, provide ample space to welcome family or friends in equal comfort. To the west of the house, an outbuilding ready for renovation expands this capacity with multiple possibilities: independent accommodations for loved ones, a guesthouse, or a conversion project where hospitality would find a natural setting here. The approximately one-hectare grounds blend seamlessly with the house. Century-old trees frame the views, and lawns adorned with rosebeds lead to the house or to the pool via the pétanque court. It is a garden where one can imagine reading in the shade of the oaks, playing, hosting gatherings on summer evenings, or simply strolling. THE SPIRIT OF LA PUISAYE Living at La Maison des Pimolles means discovering a unique region: a lesser-known corner of Burgundy where villages live in harmony with the seasons, and where Toucy offers shops, a remarkable market, and amenities just minutes away. A home where several generations come together, a refuge between town and countryside, a place where entertaining comes naturally. It could be transformed into a bed-and-breakfast or vacation rentals, building on its history and capacity to welcome guests. Some homes charm with their size. Others leave a lasting impression through the atmosphere they exude. Stepping inside this home will convince you once and for all of its potential. THE AGENCY'S OPINION We love homes that are rooted in their local character as much as in their architecture. La Maison des Pimolles possesses this precious quality. It is deeply embedded in the Puisaye region?its light, its landscapes, and its rhythm. The spacious rooms, the grounds, the outbuilding, and the recent renovation come together to form a harmonious whole, where one can easily imagine family life, a country home passed down through generations, or a welcoming retreat. Meta Description La Maison des Pimolles offers nearly 380 m² in the heart of a one-hectare wooded park, complete with an outbuilding and a swimming pool. A 19th-century family home where heritage harmonizes with the art of living in the Puisaye region.

Rare historic estate of exceptional authenticity, comprising a chapel listed as a Historic Monument since 1907, the Commander's residence, and a tithe barn, both registered on the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments 7-hectare park with spring and stream, with the possibility to acquire additional land, outdoor swimming pool Suitable for a wide range of projects (prestigious private residence, exceptional secondary home, hospitality, cultural or event venue showcasing rare heritage, equestrian property or animal facilities, weddings, concerts, cultural events, etc.) 1h30 from Paris, 10 minutes from the A77 motorway and Cosne-sur-Loire with SNCF train station, 20 minutes from La Charité-sur-Loire and Sancerre Significant tax advantages (works eligible under the Historic Monuments scheme) 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.
