The buildings on the property are composed of 3 main buildings, the main house, the maison d’amis and the maison de gardien, together with a former historic lavoir (which the local commune are very keen to see restored) and a bergerie.
The property is classified as “inscrit” monuments de France, which may 
provide a useful tax break....The property, currently owned by a sculptor would lend itself for a variety of  uses ranging from a very elegant private house, through to a cultural centre, a retreat centre or a tourist or retirement village. It would be possible to expand  both within existing buildings and/or construct additional buildings, which of  course would be subject to planning permission.
