Sologne, private Hunting grounds, Paradise for hunters

This paradise for hunters, located south of Orleans, extends over 112 hectares of land dotted with ponds. “It’s home to both big game and smaller animals, roaming in a peaceful, natural environment,” indicates Mercure Berry Val de Loire agency. “A fine balance between wild animals and wooded area allows the owner to receive €15 000 a year through CAP (common agricultural policy). A 70 sq m hunting room, two observation towers, kennel plus equipment allow devotees to indulge their passion at leisure. And of course there are the two 19th-century buildings. A refined manor house with wood panelling, period chimneys and tiling offers 240 sq m of living space over 7 rooms, including 4 bedrooms and a magnificent living room with bay windows. Just off this main house, the farmhouse offers many renovation possibilities and currently comprises the hunting room, a kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a washroom. The site also features a pool. Just 5 minutes away from shops and an hour and a half from Paris.
