house for sale Châtillon-en-Bazois, Nièvre

If you've ever been to ChâtillonenBazois, this building should look familiar… And you've probably wondered… What's this? A lock? On dry land?Indeed, the idea is based on the locks so numerous on the Canal de Nivernais. The building was constructed in 1992 and won a prestigious architectural award, "La Grande Romanée" (The Great Romanesque), in 1994.The Maison du Bazois was originally intended as a meeting place for the Bazois regional council, but now that they have moved to a different location, the building, including the land, may be sold. The Maison is part of the Bazois heritage.It's a unique building with a surface area of no less than 293.8m², and its location along the main road from Nevers to ChâteauChinon, just before the entrance to ChâtillonenBazois, makes it a selfserving building. The entrance is formed by the impressive glass facade at the front, flanked by large lock doors. You enter the 20meterlong and 6meterhigh exhibition space, with a staircase at either end leading to the upper floor, which then converges on a balcony, ideal for a wedding ceremony, for example.Behind the balcony are four 12m² office spaces and a larger 54m² meeting room. The latter features French doors with a French balcony and views over the meadows beyond.On the ground floor, there are several storage rooms, a toilet/shower room, and two restrooms accessible from outside.At the rear of the building are the same large metal lock doors.The building is surrounded by approximately 4.000m² of grassland with mature trees, ideal for a picnic. There is ample parking.This time, a building that is not suitable for residential use, but rather as a showcase for your professional activities.
