This 18th-century Benedictine priory, nestling in the midst of bucolic surroundings, stretches over 2.3 hectares of meadows overlooking the Dronne River and its crystal-clear waters. These three unique monastery buildings, which are all in fine condition, were built around a majestic 800-year-old cedar tree and include a converted chapel, the former monks' residence and a fortified barn. The property also boasts a heated swimming pool.
The chapel with 217 m² of floor-space has been restored in keeping with the building's original style, including the period windows which bathe the interior with light. It boasts two patios. The comings and goings of kingfishers can be observed from the one overlooking the Dronne River.
The former monks' residence, with 153 m² of floor-space, houses a large half-buried room as well as an exceptional underground passageway carved out of the rock. On the second floor, there are three bedrooms as well as a large uncovered and non-overlooked terrace boasting spectacular views of the river and surrounding valley.
The two-storey fortified barn, protected by a bartizan, has floorspace of 196 m² and is in good condition. The upper storey boasts oak flooring and an archetypal roof frame.
Thanks to a retractable domed cover, the heated swimming pool can be used all year round.
