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.

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.
