Bourges, Centre-Val de Loire 18000

Sole Agent - 70 pages presentation on request. Berry region - An elegant 19th-century mansion set in 5 hectares with outbuildings. A privileged location : Barely two hours from Paris by road or by train via Bourges or Vierzon and yet, another world entirely. The property enjoys that rare balance : close enough to the capital to remain effortlessly accessible, yet sufficiently removed to offer a genuine sense of escape. Bourges, soon to be named European Capital of Culture in 2028, provides all the amenities of a major historic city fine shops, excellent schools and institutions, and a cultural influence that continues to grow. An elegant 19th-century manor : At the heart of the park stands a comfortable 19th-century manor, whose restrained and refined architecture immediately conveys a certain idea of good taste. Built across three levels with a living area of approximately 600 m², excluding the cellars, it offers volumes befitting its ambitions. The ground floor opens onto vast and light-filled reception rooms : generously proportioned drawing rooms, a characterful dining room, and a succession of interconnecting spaces suited equally to grand gatherings and intimate entertaining. The upper floors accommodate nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms, each space thoughtfully designed to balance contemporary comfort with a patrician atmosphere. A coherent and elegant whole, bearing the quiet mark of time and careful stewardship. A renovation carried out with exacting standards : The work undertaken since acquisition reflects a constant attention to detail and an aesthetic sensibility throughout. Noble materials, carefully preserved proportions, modern comfort seamlessly integrated without ever compromising the spirit of the place : the manor is immediately habitable and will appeal to the most discerning buyers seeking authenticity and character, with no sacrifice of comfort. Five hectares of parkland - rarity in its purest form : The landscaped park of over five hectares is the beating heart of the property. Mature trees, shaded pathways, open perspectives over the Berry countryside : the space breathes, envelops, and soothes. This type of domain is structurally rare on the regional market. The appeal of outbuildings full of potential : Two outbuildings of generous proportions complete the ensemble and, once renovated, could accommodate upscale bed and breakfast rooms, an artists' residence or cultural retreats a vocation the property seems to call for naturally, between its inspiring parkland, generous volumes and the gentle art of living that defines the Berry. The grounds also lend themselves to the addition of a swimming pool, further enhancing the appeal of this exceptional setting. A territory in full cultural and heritage renaissance : Bourges, soon to be named European Capital of Culture in 2028, amplifies the influence of the entire region. Add to this the renowned vineyards of the Cher Sancerre, Menetou-Salon, Quincy which have established the territory as a recognised hub for wine tourism. Architectural heritage, gastronomy, contemporary art : this property sits within a living, resurgent environment where investing today means anticipating tomorrow.
