Located 2 km from the town centre, this property is partially listed as a Historic Monument.

The main section dates from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, with an extension added in the 18th century. The outbuildings are arranged at right angles to the main house. Some windows overlooking the inner park have been altered.

Set on 1.76 hectares, the estate comprises two independent houses, a landscaped park with mature trees, and a restored circular dovecote. Two separate gated entrances (one also serving as a garden division) and porches provide access.

The first house is a substantial historic residence with a curved pediment, offering two habitable levels, a magnificent interior stone staircase with a double-flight design, and superb period fireplaces. It provides approximately 500 m² of living space and is heated by gas.

From the moment you enter, the impressive stone staircase with its elegant banister sets the tone.

On the ground floor, a large kitchen/dining room with fireplace opens onto the rear grounds. A wooden staircase leads to the upper floor. A 60 m² dining room, featuring a period fireplace adorned with 17th-century painted panels, also opens onto the grounds. This level further includes a small sitting room with antique terracotta tile flooring and a WC. The former staff quarters comprise a historic kitchen, an office, and a WC. A door leads to the wine cellar, and the level concludes with a back kitchen.

Upstairs are eight bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a WC. One particularly spacious bedroom features a wooden fireplace with an 18th-century painted canvas.

The sanitation and electrical systems require updating, and the roof has been partially renewed.

The outbuildings include a large covered garage, a closed garage, wine cellars, and a workshop. A well with water connection and electric pump allows for garden irrigation.

To the rear, a magnificent park unfolds, planted with centuries-old trees, ornamental ponds, and an 18-sided sundial dating from 1714.

To the south of the house stands a circular dovecote with an original timber frame and exposed beams, set within a meadow bordered by a stream.
