Grand Hunting Lodge, Courtenay
About this property
Dating to the mid-17th century and thoughtfully remodelled across the 18th and 19th centuries, this hunting lodge near Courtenay is the kind of property that makes you reconsider everything you thought you wanted from life. Set behind wrought-iron gates on a private drive with valley views, the main building spans 276 m² across seven rooms, with travertine floors, an exposed chestnut timber frame, dressed stone quoins, and a spiral stone staircase with wrought-iron railing that has almost certainly impressed every visitor since the reign of Louis XIV.
Outside, the grounds are nothing short of theatrical: 1.9 hectares of woodland, linden and sycamore avenues, cedars, sequoias, oaks, beeches, fruit trees, a well, and a walled paved terrace anchored by a 5 x 11 metre swimming pool. The 707 m² of outbuildings, including barns and a garage attached to the main house, offer generous scope for studios, gîtes, or simply the kind of storage that a property of this scale quietly demands.
Two golf courses are nearby, and the 4,000-hectare Montargis state forest is practically on the doorstep. Double-glazed wooden windows throughout mean the lodge wears its history lightly, without sacrificing comfort. Energy class C is a genuine achievement for a 17th-century building, and a strong signal that the restoration has been done properly.
