An Exceptional Residence in Champagne

Property Description

Located in Fismes, 30 minutes from Reims and 1 hour from Paris, this manor house embodies the timeless elegance of the great residences of Champagne. Completely restored with passion and respect for its history, this 19th-century manor house—once the residence of the director of the former Macherez, Goumant Cie sugar refineries—now combines the prestige of a historic residence with the refined comfort of a contemporary property. A beautifully preserved heritage: Built around 1890, the former Château Allade has been completely restored by its current owners, a Belgian couple who are an architect and a restorer. Every room bears witness to the care taken to preserve the original features: solid oak parquet floors, French moulded ceilings, period fireplaces and large windows that let in light from the surrounding park. Spacious, elegant and modern comfort: The residence currently offers 505 m² of living space, which could be increased to 656 m² thanks to a building permit already obtained for the extension of the left wing. The manor house comprises several bright reception rooms, a refined dining room, a high-end indoor kitchen complemented by a summer kitchen under a covered terrace, five spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and separate caretaker's accommodation. Each bedroom has individual air conditioning, modern bathrooms, high-end designer lighting and a warm and intimate atmosphere. A private park and remarkable grounds: Set in nearly a hectare of enclosed wooded grounds, the manor's garden is a true green oasis offering peace and privacy. It features a heat pump-heated swimming pool (5x12m), several south-facing terraces, elegant garden lighting and three charging stations for electric vehicles. The left wing, already equipped with technical facilities, can be converted into a bar, restaurant or reception area, opening up possibilities for use as a hotel, event venue or wellness centre.

The surrounding area offers quick access to vineyards, museums, Cistercian abbeys and golf courses. The history of Fismes, an ancient fortified town, gives the address a special prestige — not to mention that it is also the birthplace of Albert Uderzo, creator of Asterix and Obelix. A unique place, combining history and art de vivre: The Manor is much more than a residence: it is an invitation to live and entertain in an exceptional setting.
