Beaune-la-Rolande, Centre-Val de Loire 45340

Built on the foundations of a former château, this lordly farmstead has retained its water-filled moat a rare, almost medieval legacy that lends the property its unmistakable character. A long, entirely private driveway. The silence of the Gâtinais plains. And then, suddenly, a 154-foot façade reveals itself: warm blonde limestone, red brick surrounds, and dormers with rounded pediments. The stone pilasters of the original château gateway, still standing, quietly recall the noble origins of the estate. This place is not discovered it announces itself, with the quiet certainty of somewhere that has weathered time without bearing its weight. 1h30 from Paris, with no neighbouring overlooking, on the edge of woodland, this estate is above all a way of life long dinners with friends, weekends that stretch on, lazy afternoons by the pool, early morning rides. A generous place, made for entertaining, sharing, and living fully. The Main House approx. 4,500 sq ft of living space Eleven principal rooms spread across two levels. On the ground floor: an 860 sq ft reception room, a through granite kitchen, a scullery, a utility room and a ground-floor bedroom.
