Behind its stone façades, this 380 m² residence, patiently restored over more than forty years, preserves the elegance of family homes where time seems to have kept all its depth while modern comfort has been deployed. The entrance immediately reveals the character of the dwelling. The reception spaces flow naturally, driven by generous volumes. The living room, featuring a remarkable period French ceiling, is one of the houses most beautiful rooms. It leads to a spectacular two-level library, a true invitation to reading, contemplation, or winter evenings by the fireplace. The kitchen, designed as a social space, is accompanied by a pantry and a laundry room, with direct access to a large dining room. The five bedrooms, spread over the floors, offer family comfort complemented by two bathrooms and a shower room. An attic level remains to be imagined according to the aspirations of its future owners. The house has five fireplaces, all equipped and in working order. A vaulted cellar recalls the propertys secular origins.

The outbuildings hangar, garages and a shed offer rare potential for various projects. The property extends over nearly 2 hectares of landscaped parkland with orchards, gardens, woods and lawns. Ginkgo biloba, magnolias, maples, oaks, chestnut trees, linden trees, rhododendrons, hydrangeas and fruit trees compose a living, well-irrigated park fed by a perennial source feeding a fish-pond where the conversations of old washwomen still seem to echo. The inner courtyard, oriented due south, invites summer lunches, while the north terrace offers a privileged view of the tower of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblats collegiate church, a UNESCO World Heritage jewel.
