Les Bordes Estate Announces Sales Success and Unveils First Completed Homes
Renowned Les Bordes Estate, set in the heart of France’s Loire Valley, is celebrating several milestones this autumn. The estate’s first phase of Cour du Baron residences, a limited collection of 21 elegant homes set on spacious plots, has almost sold out, with only 3 Villas left for sale. Designed by acclaimed architecture firm Michaelis Boyd, the first completed Cour du Baron homes have just been unveiled.
Introducing a first glimpse of the Six Senses Residences Loire Valley: 52 exclusive homes tucked within the enchanting Les Bordes Estate. Here, owners will experience the joy of living in harmony with nature, surrounded by history, and fully immersed in the thoughtful care of Six Senses, a global leader in hospitality and wellness. The estate will also be home to a 50-key, five-star Six Senses hotel and an expansive 18,000-square-foot Six Senses Spa, all designed with a deep commitment to sustainability, well-being, and a sense of community—values that seamlessly connect Six Senses and Les Bordes Estate.
Driss Benkirane, founder and managing partner of RoundShield, the private equity firm which owns Les Bordes, comments: “We are delighted to have seen such a positive sales response to our Cour du Baron homes and to be welcoming our first residents to Les Bordes. The estate is an incredibly special place and this momentum, together with the recent sales launch of the Six Senses Residences Loire Valley, marks a big step towards achieving our vision of creating a one-of-a-kind community at Les Bordes.”
Located just 90 minutes south of Paris, the majestic Les Bordes Estate spans 1,400 acres and sits within the natural haven of the mythical Sologne Forest, which forms part of the UNESCO Heritage Site of the Loire Valley. The estate has long been recognised as one of France’s most exclusive addresses, a private sanctuary rich in history that already offers best-in-class golf and unparalleled hospitality through Les Bordes Country Club and Les Bordes Golf Club. The estate features three world-ranked golf courses, designed by the eminent golf architects Gil Hanse and Robert von Hagge, all of which celebrate Les Bordes’ endless rolling fields and verdant woodland scenery.
With an enduring focus on connecting its residents and guests with nature at every opportunity and promoting an active, healthy lifestyle, Les Bordes offers a multitude of outdoor pursuits. There are tennis and padel courts, an equestrian centre, fishing lake, white sand beach and natural swimming lake, boating and paddle-boarding, meandering cycling trails, open-air archery and a charming petting zoo and outdoor play areas for children. The estate’s 15th-century priory will soon be renovated to become Le Village – a relaxed social hub for the community. It will feature a restaurant with a large event space, café, zero-waste shop, wine bar, dedicated clubhouse area with a games room, vegetable garden, bakery, art gallery and workshop studio and a farmer’s market selling local and artisanal products.
