Description

A45793RYS87 - Rarely does a property of this scale and character reach the market. Hidden away in a idyllic, wooded setting, this impressive estate of over 33 hectares offers ultimate privacy, tranquility, and breathtaking natural beauty. The centerpiece of the estate is its majestic, S-shaped lake spanning approximately 7.4 hectares, complete with a dam, gentle streams, and a stunning peninsula offering panoramic, unobstructed views across the water and surrounding forests.

Historic Heritage: Hydro-Power & "Fondé en Titre"
This estate is steeped in history. Built on the site of ancient ironworks (anciennes forges), a watermill was later established here.

The site possesses a legally anchored hydro-power capacity (originally 15.7 kW under historic rights, with historical adaptations reaching up to 80–87 kW via the elevated dam). The installations are currently disused and permits/equipment would need modern updating.

The Main House: Characterful Basis with a New Roof
The main residence offers a generous floor area of approximately 200 m². Crucially, the roof has been completely renewed, providing a sound, dry structure for full internal restoration. The interior requires a complete renovation, yet retains authentic historic features throughout.

Ground Floor: Entering the home reveals a grand, open-plan living space combining the lounge, kitchen, and dining areas, highlighted by a large, classic open fireplace. This level also includes a toilet and direct access into the attached barn area.

First Floor: Upstairs, you will find two spacious bedrooms plus three additional rooms that can be tailored to your requirements,ideal for extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or a home office.

Outbuildings & Grounds
Attached Barn: Connected directly to the house, ideal for expanding the living accommodation or creating an internal workshop/storage space.

Detached Barn: A substantial, separate outbuilding on the grounds offering endless possibilities.

The grounds encompass 33 hectares of varied landscape, including mature woods, watercourses, and green banks surrounding the lake. Electricity is available on-site; the domestic water supply requires restoration.

A Project of Unparalleled Potential
This estate represents a dream opportunity for anyone seeking a large-scale restoration project in one of the region's most serene settings. Whether you envision a grand private sanctuary, an eco-friendly retreat, a rural tourism project, or restoring a historic watermill, the combination of land, a 7.4-hectare private lake, and a solid main building with a new roof provides a truly remarkable canvas.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
