DESCRIPTION

Set within the heart of a magnificent, enclosed three-hectare wooded park, this remarkable late-19th-century period property offers 357 m² of living space. It impresses with its generous proportions and carefully preserved heritage features.

From the moment you arrive, its red and polychrome brick façades and glazed fish-scale roof tiles capture the eye, authentic examples of the architectural craftsmanship of the Belle Époque. In the entrance hall, a magnificent original coffered ceramic ceiling dating from 1873 is the property’s defining architectural feature—a rare find.

The ground floor comprises a large, contemporary kitchen, separate from the reception rooms and opening onto a pleasant terrace; an elegant dining room ideal for entertaining; a sitting room with a fireplace for winter evenings; and a delightful summer lounge with a privileged view over the park. A bedroom with an adjoining shower room, a quiet study-library and a cloakroom complete this level.

Upstairs, the sleeping accommodation includes five bedrooms and four bathrooms, among them a superb principal suite with its own private terrace overlooking the park and swimming pool. The beautifully fitted basement also includes an attractive wine cellar, perfect for building a personal collection.

Outside, the landscaped park offers a lovely, peaceful green setting, ideal for relaxing throughout the year. It features a superb swimming pool, a double covered garage, a tennis court in need of refurbishment and a charming little detached house that could serve as a caretaker’s cottage or guest house—ideal for welcoming family and friends in complete privacy.

Ideally located in the heart of the small town of Montchanin, with shops close by and a TGV station just seven minutes away (Paris in 1 hour 20 minutes, Lyon in 40 minutes). A rare address combining character, heritage and exceptional accessibility.
