Historic 6.2 ha fishing lake and estate in the Loire Valley

Étang de Motteux: a historic 8-hectare estate situated just one hour from Paris in the Centre-Val-de-Loire region. This exceptional property is far more than a simple rural holding—it is a living fragment of French history, recorded since 1342 and home to 27 distinguished owners including princes and government ministers.

The fishing lake covers 6.2 hectares and is in immaculate condition thanks to substantial renovation works carried out between 2011 and 2025 (15,000 tonnes of silt removal, new sluice gate, rock armouring, recent pontoon, and dam in perfect order). The biotope is rich and well-preserved, set within an unspoilt forest massif free from pollution, offering an unparalleled natural setting for fish farming and abundant aquatic wildlife.

The estate generates multiple income streams: high-value oak coppice forestry, sporting rights (fishing and shooting), and fish farming. This represents an ideal opportunity for a discerning investor seeking diversification through a rare, irreplaceable tangible asset with strong appreciation potential.
