Below the farm buildings and the park and facing the property at the bottom, the listed pond receives drainage. It offers itself as a mirror of the orderly ensemble of buildings.
The water mirror behind the stables perpendicularly, maintained and clean, creates an elegant new perspective. Paved, it has just been cleaned throughout its length. Its 120-meter length, harmoniously wooded, makes it a romantic promenade with new views of the property.
