Located just 2 km from the center of Azay-le-Rideau, in the heart of one of Touraine’s most sought-after tourist areas, this château—built in 1909—has remained in the same family since its construction. The property offers approximately 1,060 m² of living space and a total floor area of ​​nearly 2,000 m². Renovated in 2013, the château is in excellent condition and retains a particularly interesting interior layout, where spacious volumes and period features play a central role. Generous proportions set the tone right from the entrance. A remarkable staircase serves the upper floors and facilitates a fluid flow between the various reception and living areas. The château comprises 17 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, along with two kitchens and two dressing rooms. Highlights include two formal reception rooms, each exceeding 70 m² and boasting ceilings 5.60 meters high. Their spaciousness, décor, and well-preserved architectural details all testify to the home's distinctive character. The construction was notably innovative for its time, featuring double glazing and original pocket doors—details that are quite rare for a property built in the early 20th century. Outside, the château opens onto a park offering lovely vistas. A large south-facing terrace provides a natural extension to the reception rooms, allowing residents to fully enjoy the surroundings. A swimming pool complements the leisure facilities, while a former tennis court could be restored to use.

The renovation also placed particular emphasis on energy efficiency. The château boasts an impressive energy performance rating for a property of this scale, thanks notably to the installation of heat pumps and a thermodynamic water heater.
