Castle Saumur (49)

Nestled in peaceful countryside of the enchanting Loire Valley, close to Chinon, Saumur and one hour from Angers and Tours, this meticulously restored manor house, dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries, has elegant terraced gardens and a vineyard. Located just a short 25-minute journey from the picturesque Loire River and charming villages such as Montsoreau, flea markets, restaurants, cafes, and majestic chateaux, this property is a true gem. While the manor's origins trace back to the Middle Ages, its cellars reveal traces of civilization predating the 13th century. The ground floor features a welcoming guest bedroom and a series of splendid reception rooms adorned with expansive windows that offer captivating garden vistas in every direction. The kitchen, featuring a La Cornue stove and an expansive La Cornue island, is a design masterpiece worthy of a cooking show setting. Ascending the original spiral stone staircase, you'll discover three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms, each adorned with remarkable architectural elements, such as double mullioned windows and fireplaces. Continuing up the spiral stairs leads to an immense 2nd-floor loft space beneath a cathedral-like canopy of roof beams, which could readily be converted into two additional ensuite bedrooms. Within the park, two elegant structures await your exploration: a loggia and an orangery. The loggia is comprised of two levels, with a lower-level living area and an upper-level bedroom connected by a magnificent 17th-century staircase. The orangery, nestled within the gardens, has been beautifully restored and can be adapted for a variety of uses, including as an entertainment space, artist's studio, games room, gym, or guest house. The owners have spared no expense in restoring the estate to its former glory while seamlessly integrating modern creature comforts, including a Bang and Olufsen sound system, i-lighting, state-of-the-art central heating with a low-temperature heat pump, and a spa bath. This region has long been hailed as the Garden of France, and this property epitomizes that title. The manorhouse is enveloped by its own land on all sides. The swimming pool and loggia grace an upper terrace, while a grand stone staircase descends to the à la Française garden below, featuring formal box-lined parterres, roses, pleached lime trees encircling the house to the west and north. On the eastern side, a formal garden in an Anglo-Japanese style beckons, complete with a rose-covered pergola, lawns, and an arboretum boasting rare and precious mature trees. To the south, you'll find the vineyard itself, nestled amidst a serene forest. The 2 hectares of Chenin blanc vines, some over 40 years old, bear the coveted Saumur AOC appellation controle classification, a rarity highly sought after by local winemakers. The vineyard is expertly managed by a talented and amiable local winemaker, allowing the owners to savor their own vintages without the hassles of vineyard management. Located just 1.5 hours from Paris via the TGV train, and a convenient 1-hour drive from Tours and 2-hour drive from Nantes, both boasting international airports, this property offers a perfect blend of historical charm and modern convenience in one of France's most picturesque regions.

Vineyard with pool Saumur (49)

A flawlessly restored 14th and 15th-century manor, graced with terraced gardens and a vineyard at the heart of the Loire Valley. Situated just 25 minutes away from the Loire River itself and its enchanting villages, antique markets, restaurants, cafes, and splendid castles. Despite the manor's Medieval origins, its cellars bear traces of civilization dating back to before 1200. The ground floor encompasses a guest room and a sequence of splendid reception halls, featuring large windows that offer garden views from all angles. The kitchen, with its La Cornue stove and vast La Cornue island, could easily serve as a backdrop for a culinary show. Ascending the original stone spiral staircase leads to three grand bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each of these rooms showcases impressive architectural elements such as double-mullioned windows or fireplaces. At the top of the spiral staircase lies the immense attic on the second floor, beneath cathedral-style roof beams, which could effortlessly be transformed into two additional bedrooms with bathrooms. Within the estate, you'll discover two exquisite buildings – a loggia and an orangery. The loggia spans two levels: a living area on the ground floor and a bedroom upstairs, connected by a magnificent 17th-century staircase. The Orangery, nestled in the gardens, is a beautifully restored space that could serve multiple purposes – a reception area, an artist's studio, a game room, a gym, or even a guest house. The owners spared no effort in restoring the property to its former glory while incorporating modern comforts like the Bang & Olufsen sound system, i-lighting, sophisticated and efficient central heating, and a spa bathtub. This region has long been known as the Garden of France, and this property stands as a testament to that reputation. The upper garden hosts a pool area surrounded by lush lawns. Through a gate lie 2 hectares of 20-40-year-old Chenin Blanc vines, classified under the Saumur AOC controlled designation of origin. This vineyard, a rarity much coveted by local winemakers, is overseen by a neighboring vintner, allowing the owners to savor their own blends without managing the vineyard themselves. The remainder of the garden, encircling the manor, consists of French-style terraces adorned with box hedges, roses, pleached linden trees, and a precious collection of mature and rare trees in the arboretum. A mere hour away from Tours Airport and an hour and a half from Paris by train.
