Grand Historic Residence with Chapelle, Guesthouse & Elegant Gardens – A Rare Village-Edge Retreat
Nestled at the edge of a picturesque village steeped in history and ancient architecture, this extraordinary residence is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the past—thoughtfully renovated for modern living. From its soaring vaulted ceilings in the original chapelle to the stunning transformation of the former refectory into a majestic great room, every inch of this property tells a story of heritage, elegance, and quiet grandeur.
Main Residence – 335 m² of Refined Living
The main home offers an expansive and character-filled layout over several levels:
Ground floor
A showstopping “great room” unites the kitchen, pantry, dining area, and living room beneath the vaulted ceilings of the historic refectory.
The original chapelle, now a serene space for reflection or entertaining, adds a dramatic architectural centerpiece.
Also on this level: a generous bedroom, a peaceful library with direct garden access, an office or potential bedroom, a large bathroom, a second informal kitchen, WC, and a spacious laundry room.
A graceful staircase leads to the interfloor, where a skylit bedroom with soaring cathedral ceilings awaits.
