A Horse Stud Farm With 32 Hectares Of Woods And Pasture And A Remarkable Half Timbered Stable

A horse stud farm with 32 hectares of woods and pasture and a remarkable half-timbered stable built in 1920 in the middle, nestled near the town of Chantilly in northern France. The estate covers a little over 32 hectares of unbroken land that combines premium pasture – considered essential for thoroughbreds – and woods with bridlepaths. A wide driveway lined with white fencing leads to the building and underlines its symmetry. Built in 1920 on the former grounds of a neighbouring chateau, the edifice owes its existence to an Argentinian billionaire and horse enthusiast who ordered construction of the property to create his own horse stud farm here. The architecture is neo-Norman in style with half-timbering, tiled roofing, hipped wall dormers and a large shelter that leads out to the pastures. The stud farm was originally designed for breeding galloping racehorses. Today, it is perfectly suited to any equestrian activity, whether for leisure or competitions. The site layout is highly logical. It brings together a stable and work spaces around the house in a coherent, practical whole. Several recent facilities for daily training add to the estate.
