An exceptional home in an idyllic setting

Located in Ars-sur-Moselle, about 15 minutes from downtown Metz, this majestic mansion dating from 1840 offers 366 m² of living space. Set in the heart of a landscaped park spanning nearly 25 ares and crisscrossed by waterways, this characterful, fully enclosed property stands out for its elegant spaces, high-end finishes, and meticulous preservation of its authenticity.

Access to the estate is via a bridge spanning the Mance stream, immediately setting a unique, romantic scene sheltered from prying eyes. From the moment you step into the entry hall, the journey back in time begins as you walk across the original terrazzo floor. The ground floor features a remarkable ceiling height of 3.40 meters. A spacious central hallway leads to a reception room that opens onto a 38 m² dining room, enhanced by period moldings and marble fireplaces. Designed for entertaining, the sumptuous 44 m² kitchen-dining area combines aesthetic appeal with fine materials, pairing a Hainaut blue stone countertop with an imposing range. A separate office completes this level. A beautiful stone staircase leads to the upper floor, where a light-filled landing, enclosed by elegant glass doors, provides access to the sleeping quarters. These include six spacious bedrooms ranging from 14 to 24 m², all featuring solid oak hardwood floors, as well as two generously sized bathrooms. The building’s history extends all the way to the full basement, which houses a wine cellar, an ancient well, and fascinating historical artifacts. On the top floor, the insulated and utility-connected attic offers 185 m² of floor space, leaving plenty of room for creativity in designing additional living areas.

Outside, the magic is just as captivating. The grounds, partially designated as a protected natural area, feature a pond, an orchard, and a partially swimmable area promising beautiful summer days. Looking toward the future, this historic home meets contemporary standards with meticulous energy-efficient renovations, including new windows and doors, a roof covered with solar panels, and spacious garages equipped with charging stations. This home also benefits from a strategic location, just minutes from the local train station and the region’s major attractions.

The combination of the sound of flowing water, 19th-century elegance, and optimized energy efficiency makes this estate a truly unique and rare property.
