Villa de Nocfond

Century-old trees, gardens, and a private lake make up the grounds of Villa de Nocfond, in the Sologne, the old sporting country south of the Loire. The estate covers 7 hectares near Langon-sur-Cher, about 200 kilometers by road from Paris and close to the A85.

It comes as a single acquisition: the house, its 1.9-hectare lake with a private peninsula and a guinguette, and the guest business that already runs from it, with its clientele and systems in place. The whole property is enclosed, and natural springs water the gardens. Fishing, clay shooting, and golf are close by, and the châteaux and vineyards of the Loire are not far.

The villa, built around 1903 and fully renovated in 2022, has 420 square meters and nine bedrooms, six of them en suite, for more than eighteen guests. The Royal Salon, with its fireplace, sets the tone inside, and a bar and large terraces serve for entertaining. A separate cottage adds two bedrooms and a master suite, with its own kitchen and fireplace. For leisure there are a heated pool, a hot tub, a sauna, a massage room, and a gym.

Further capacity is already in hand: a partially renovated farmhouse of 300 square meters, building rights to reconstruct an additional house of 60 to 90 square meters, and an outbuilding of 75 square meters that could be converted into guest accommodation. The villa is finished; the estate still has room to grow.
