Its extraordinary architectural elements include a majestic colonnade that overlooks the tranquil river below.

The property’s timeless stone construction boasts original features such as rich wood panelling, exposed beams, oak parquet flooring, stone fireplaces, and a cobbled terrace that harks back to its origins. A pigeonnier, once sheltering pilgrims, adds to its unique character.

Offering over 700m² of habitable space, the estate includes a stately main house featuring nine elegant bedroom suites, a two-bedroom guardian's cottage, and a charming summer house with extensive glazing, soaring ceilings, and a hunting lodge aesthetic.

Encompassing over 6 hectares of pristine land, the property includes river frontage, woodlands, wild prairie, and gardens that create a haven for nature lovers. The grounds are alive with birdsong and abundant wildlife, offering a serene escape from the bustle of daily life.
