Nestled in the heart of a large, wooded park, sheltered from prying eyes and all disturbances, the Commandery of Villemoison is a heritage property of rare authenticity, situated in a verdant valley crossed by a stream and fed by a spring and a Romanesque well. Particularly rare, this complex has retained its three original buildings, characteristic of a Romanesque commandery of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, later the Order of Malta: the chapel, listed as a Historic Monument since 1907, the commander's residence, and the tithe barn, whose facades and roofs are also listed as Historic Monuments. Such preservation is exceptional and confers upon the property a historical, architectural, and heritage value of the highest order. The chapel houses a remarkable medieval mural depicting Christ in Majesty in its apse. Two splendid Renaissance dormer windows in the east façade of the Commander's House, adorned with the sculpted coat of arms of Claude d'Ancienville, cupbearer to Francis I and Commander of Malta at Villemoison around 1530, attest to the estate's historical significance. The house is complemented by an elegant 16th-century stone stair tower and extended by a former farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, offering approximately 400 square meters of living space. Carefully restored, the property now comprises nine main rooms, including five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two shower rooms. It successfully combines the charm of period architecture with contemporary comfort. The grounds also include an outdoor swimming pool, several outbuildings, and extensive grounds. The tithe barn, with a footprint of approximately 100 square meters beneath a remarkable old timber frame, presents particularly interesting volumes and offers significant potential for development. The chapel, which remains consecrated, also offers the possibility of hosting weddings, concerts, or cultural and heritage events, in accordance with applicable regulations. This property would be equally suitable as a prestigious family residence, an exceptional second home, or a cultural or event-based hospitality project that showcases a rare historical heritage. As a listed Historic Monument, the estate may, subject to current legal provisions and administrative authorizations, qualify for tax benefits on certain works, as well as subsidies or support from the DRAC (Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs) for conservation and restoration projects. The fees are to be paid by the seller.
