This exceptional and unique chalet with its generous open spaces enjoys a privileged setting in 76 hectares of enclosed parkland, free from any nuisance.
Access to this exceptional estate is via a charming stone path winding through the vegetation and leading to an elegant automated entrance gate, opening onto a fully enclosed, meticulously maintained park. A majestic, straight driveway then leads you to the heart of the estate, where you'll find a unique chalet.
Built around fifteen years ago by craftsmen specialising in the construction of Canadian chalets, this rare property with almost 450 sqm of living space was designed using local woods.
The north-facing entrance sets the tone.
- To the west, two spacious garages with automatic doors make daily life easier.
- To the east, a large utility room provides a functional space. A refined hallway leads to a superb master suite with bathroom fitted with a whirlpool bath and custom-made dressing room.
- On the south side, the living room impresses with its spaciousness: almost 200 m² bathed in light, enhanced by an imposing stone fireplace and a top-of-the-range open-plan kitchen, complemented by a utility room with direct access to the cellar.
Upstairs, accessed via an elegant, custom-designed wrought-iron staircase, a mezzanine overlooks the living space and leads to two additional bedrooms, each with its own shower room and WC
To the south- 100m from the chalet, is an old farmhouse that has been converted into a home. Formerly used as a riding school and stables, it now offers spacious living accommodation with :
Ground floor:
- Sitting room with an impressive fireplace
- fully equipped kitchen
- large reception room (which can accommodate up to 150 people)
- bar area
- WCs and various utility and storage rooms.
Upstairs: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with bidet and shower.
Other outbuildings include:
- a former horse stable has been converted into a small dwelling with a living room/kitchen and bathroom/wc.
- metal shed on wooden posts that can accommodate more than 10 vehicles.
In the grounds, to the north of the chalet, there is an agricultural shed made of sheet metal on wooden posts and a metal structure to house the property's maintenance equipment.
To the north-east of the property, 4 km outside the park, is an aircraft hangar with its own private airstrip.
The heated hangar, measuring around 1,000 m², includes an area for parking aircraft, staff accommodation for 8 people and, in the basement, with access from the outside, a former car manufacturing workshop.
The runway, formerly open 7 days a week and under customs control, is 1.7 km long. It is currently in the process of being regularised to obtain public landing authorisation.
The grounds are harmoniously divided into two distinct parts: the enclosed park and the aeronautical area, offering both an unspoilt natural setting and unique facilities.
The park, entirely enclosed by a 2-metre-high fence buried 50 cm deep - and put in place before 1993 - extends over some 187 acres (76 hectares).
A veritable nature sanctuary, it comprises :
An approved 7-kilometre off-road circuit, which hosted the prestigious prologue to one of the Paris-Dakar rallies. A historic event attended by over 30,000 spectators and broadcast live on national television for over two hours. A great legacy for motor sport enthusiasts ;
Arable land, offering great opportunities for farming or eco-responsible projects ;
Meadows and woods rich in biodiversity, ideal for walks, observation or hunting ;
An impressive English aviary, over 8 metres high.
The wildlife here is particularly rich: many deer roam freely on the estate, some sporting superb antlers of over 16 horns. There are also roe deer, adding to the wild and exclusive character of the site.
This exceptional estate offers a unique living environment, combining prestige, freedom and passion. Whether you want to set up a private residence, a holiday resort, a hunting estate, a farm or a luxury events complex, there are plenty of possibilities for those who want to combine lifestyle, nature and adventure.
