Open hunting grounds of 650 contiguous hectares, with a lodge, private flats, a hunting pavilion and outbuildings, in Sologne.
Spanning two different departments, Loiret and Loir-et-Cher, the property is located in Sologne, in the western part of the Centre-Val de Loire region. The nearest town includes essential shops and services, while Beaugency and the banks of the Loire River are only a few kilometres away. In addition, Chateau de Chambord is 20 minutes away, Orléans is 30 minutes away and Paris is less than 2 hours away.
From a road between two villages, the hunting pavilion is accessible via a long drive of nearly 2 kilometres, partially bordered by recently planted oak and lime trees. After two entrance gates, the main buildings are arranged in a U shape around a courtyard-garden. With two levels, including one built into the attic space, they are topped with tile roofs punctuated by dormer windows, in true local style. The gamekeeper's house, the "trainees" studio and a private flat are located in the first edifice, while the lodge takes up the entire space of the second building. Lastly, the third building contains the outbuildings and a second private flat. Most of the buildings were renovated less than 15 years ago with salvaged materials, like those from the former Orléans theatre, for example, and have been perfectly maintained ever since. Nearby, a cabin was built in the trees and a storage building was constructed to stow various equipment. The property's grounds extend all around the buildings, followed by woods and seven ponds over nearly 650 hectares, in addition to the 150 hectares that are currently rented out.
