The layout comprises: On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall leads to a living room featuring a stone fireplace and a vast main living area equipped with a fireplace insert and an impressive library. The kitchen opens fully onto a wooden terrace via a large picture window, inviting outdoor dining. It also connects to a large multi-purpose room currently set up as a music and cinema room with direct access to the garden, swimming pool, and pool house. A large stone cellar, ideal for wine storage, is also accessible from this room.
Upstairs, a master suite of over 50 m2 (complemented by a mezzanine and an additional room suitable for use as a bedroom or office) includes the bedroom, a bathroom (with a whirlpool tub), and a dressing room. Seven additional bedrooms complete the sleeping quarters three have en-suite shower rooms, and there is a separate bathroom. The entire upper level also benefits from independent outdoor access, offering great flexibility in how the space is used.
Garden area: The 12 x 6m swimming pool immediately draws the eye and features an electric safety cover. Its 75m2 pool house with space for a summer kitchen, shower, and toilet creates a genuine outdoor living area. A well adjoins this relaxation space.
Outbuildings suitable for conversion are attached to the pool house, complemented by two 15 m2 stalls facing them.
Concert hall: Separate from the main house, a soundproofed concert hall of approximately 100 m2 featuring excellent acoustics, full accessibility for people with reduced mobility, and all necessary public-use permits represents a rare and unique asset. It includes a cloakroom, kitchen, pantry, and mezzanine. A large parking area accommodating at least fifty vehicles serves this space, opening up numerous operational possibilities.
The 3-hectare grounds feature a stream running through the property and a river bordering it. A wide expanse of greenery ensures privacy between the residence and the water. The entire estate is secured at the entrance by a gate with an intercom system.
