Set within the privacy of a magnificent 3-hectare walled and wooded estate, this exceptional late nineteenth-century residence offers approximately 357 sq.m. of refined living space and beautifully preserved architectural heritage. From the moment one approaches the property, its remarkable character is immediately apparent. The striking red and polychrome brick façades, complemented by distinctive glazed fish-scale roof tiles, reflect the elegance and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The grand entrance hall reveals the home's most distinctive feature: an extraordinary original ceramic coffered ceiling dating from 1873, a rare architectural masterpiece and the defining hallmark of the estate. The ground floor offers an elegant balance of reception and living spaces, including a spacious contemporary kitchen opening onto a delightful terrace, a formal dining room, a gracious drawing room with fireplace, and a charming summer lounge overlooking the parkland. A guest bedroom with shower room, a library/study and guest facilities complete this level. The first floor accommodates five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a superb principal suite with its own private terrace enjoying sweeping views across the grounds and swimming pool. The basement level has been thoughtfully fitted and includes an attractive wine cellar along with extensive storage and utility areas. Outside, the landscaped park provides an enchanting setting of mature trees and open lawns. The estate further benefits from a beautiful swimming pool, a covered double garage, a tennis court requiring refurbishment, and an attractive independent cottage that could serve as a caretaker's residence, guest house or additional accommodation. Ideally located in the heart of the charming town of Montchanin, with shops and amenities within walking distance, and excellent transport links: the TGV station provides access to Paris in just 1 hour and 20 minutes and Lyon in only 40 minutes. Combining authenticity, architectural distinction and modern comfort, this is a rare heritage estate offering exceptional privacy and lifestyle in a truly privileged setting.
