Elegant 17th Century Manor House With 6.3 Hectares And Tennis Court

About the Property

A remarkable 17th-century manor house set within 6.3 hectares of grounds, located in the Ain département, just a few kilometres from Villefranche-sur-Saône and 35 minutes from the centre of Lyon. This elegant property, built in 1641, boasts 691 square meters of living space, harmoniously blending historical charm with modern comforts. Upon arrival, a majestic 400-metre avenue lined with Lombardy poplars leads to the imposing manor house, constructed in dressed stone and traditional brick. The ground floor features a series of generous reception rooms, including drawing rooms, a library, a dining room, a kitchen, and a scullery, all anchored by a spectacular entrance hall showcasing a carved wooden staircase, period panelling, and a stained-glass window. The principal floor comprises seven spacious bedrooms, served by four bathrooms and a shower room, while the upper level retains the spirit of the house with former servants’ quarters, an old linen room, and generous attic volumes. Throughout the manor, noble architectural features have been meticulously preserved, including herringbone and Hungarian-point parquet floors, period fireplaces, boiseries, encaustic cement tiles, and stained glass. The outbuildings complement this exceptional ensemble, featuring a chapel blessed in 1641, an ancient tower likely the remains of a former fortification, and a 38 square meter garage. A tennis court adds to the recreational offerings of this estate. Price: €920,000 including fees (paid by the seller).
