Surroundings and Location
Information
Monks of the Carthusian Order built the manor house in the eighteenth century. At the time of the French Revolution in 1789 the Domaine was owned by the Knights of the Order of Malta. These origins help to explain the sense of peace and grandeur the buildings extol.
Large stands of towering cypress pines adorn the extensive lawns, situated to allow magnificent views of the surrounding fields of wheat, corn, sunflowers and other commercial crops. The 23 by 50 foot swimming pool is hidden behind dense rows of 15 foot laurel bushes A large barn to the left of the manor house has been converted into a seven car garage. The guest parking area is hidden behind it.
