A 15-hectare horse-riding estate with a lake, outhouses and 17 looseboxes, tucked away 20 kilometres from the medieval town of Provins, just south-east of Paris. The house and outbuildings lie between meadows on one side of the lane and parkland. These buildings were once annexes of a chateau, a former horse-riding centre. But now they form a family home that lends itself to equestrian pursuits. The horse meadows and most of the equestrian facilities remain on the property, but the horse-riding hall at the far end of the grounds has been sold. You reach the buildings via a lane, then a double gate. A stream runs through the parkland and fills up the property's lake, which flows into the River Auxence, a small tributary of the River Yonne. A range of constructions with different purposes dot the land. First, there is the main house, between an orchard and a courtyard. It probably dates back to the 18th century and its foundations are even older, as suggested by a former chapel with rib vaults from the 16th century. The building, built in an L shape, includes two dwellings: the main one and a second one in a wing for friends and family that extends from the main house at a right angle. Beyond this second dwelling, there is a woodstore. Opposite the main house, there is an outbuilding used as an office. Five small looseboxes complete it. These buildings stand around a shady courtyard with a grassy centre with cherry trees. A lake lies beside the court. An agricultural storage building used for horse feed is flanked with 12 looseboxes and a saddle room. Two workshops lie beyond it. Another building with five looseboxes and a small storeroom complete the complex. The property also includes a round horse pen and a horse-riding area on the other side of the country lane.
