Here, the French art of living is not a backdrop — it's your everyday.
The Estate
On the day you arrive, everything is already connected, operational. The house is open, the water flows, the electricity works, the chalets await your guests, the bistro can host your first dinners by the lake. You put down your bags. You enjoy.
180 m² bathed in light. Large living room opening onto the terrace and the view. Kitchen, master suite, family bedrooms. Fully reconfigurable to your taste.
5 floating chalets fully connected + 1 chalet on the shore. Water, electricity, septic tank. Full comfort, direct lake view. Ideal for hosting friends and extended family without impinging on your privacy.
Covered terrace seating 35, facing the lake. Rare hosting capacity — three generations gathered, weddings, milestone birthdays, long summer weekends with extended family.
The Lake
Never anyone else on your lake.
An enclosed lake, with no connection to any public waterway. Under French law, the water, the bed, the banks and the fish belong to you in full. A specificity that very few lakes share — and rarer still when, as here, it is surrounded by buildable land.
In the region, they have always said it: this lake brings luck. Water of rare vitality — and its fish are the proof. Sturgeons of two metres, up to 90 kg. Carp over 20 kg, caught season after season. Few bodies of water in the world sustain such abundance.
A lake like this cannot be recreated elsewhere.

The Forest
The wooded park of 3.4 hectares — pines and centuries-old trees — is yours. The immediate setting is protected: no one will ever build before you. Further into the woods, you remain free to place light dwellings.
Roe deer at dawn, herons on the lake, hoopoes in spring, orioles in the oaks.
In autumn, the ceps; in November, the olives.
Two wells, a generous forest, honest sunlight — living here in full autonomy.
Possibilities
The regulatory framework is in place. You know what you can do from day one.
A floating spa facing the rising sun, for winter mornings.
A swimming pool hidden in the park, at the end of a tree-lined path.
A large reception hall for family celebrations.
A veranda facing the lake. A writing studio. A workshop.
Without touching a single century-old pine, without altering the site.
Everything is possible. Nothing is required.
For your children
Paddleboard at sunrise. Fishing rod with grandpa. A floating chalet turned into a secret base. Evenings on the pontoon counting stars. Campfires on summer evenings.
The strongest childhood memories aren't made in theme parks. They're made in places like this — where time stretches, where nature is within reach.
And one day,
they will return here with theirs.
The House
The 180 m² house is habitable from day one — functional, connected, operational.
Designed with very few load-bearing walls, it leaves you free to give it your family's signature: paint, kitchen, decoration, interior layout. The volumes are there, the foundations are sound, the light is already in — you decide the rest.
You buy a volume, a great living room, a view, a location.
Not a heritage burden — heritage that nourishes you.
What you've been searching for
Picture that morning. You hold your coffee in both hands.
On the opposite bank, two does step toward the water without seeing you.
Your children are still asleep.
The phone does not exist.
A place that is truly yours.
For an entire family, across generations.
Le Domaine du Dahu.
Summary
Operational from day one.
Not a heritage burden. Heritage that nourishes you.
Gallery
A cep cradled in the palm, the lake aflame at dawn, a chalet floating on water, a summer's great catch, the warm wood of a retreat, the oriole in the fig trees — every image tells the life that awaits you here.
