luxury farmhouses for sale Indre-et-Loire, France

A renovated farmyard and its outbuildings, with 9 hectares of pastures and woods in the Touraine region. From a local road, a drive leads to the farmyard, which, built at the end of the 19th century, was renovated and overlooks the small valley. The buildings are primarily situated around a square landscaped courtyard and include: the main dwelling, a furnace room, a holiday cottage adjacent to the barn, a former sheepfold and an annexe dwelling that closes off the courtyard. Two outbuildings are also within immediate proximity: a bakehouse to the south and an agricultural storage building to the north, while the entrance gate, located in the south-eastern corner of the property, opens onto a gravel parking area. The main dwelling is oriented east-west, and all the buildings have pointed stonework walls, dressed tuffeau stone window and door surrounds and flat tile or slate roofs. All around, the tree-filled garden provides views of the property’s pastures and wooded areas, while the whole, contiguous property extends over 9 hectares in all.

A 16th-century farmhouse with five hectares of grounds, nestled in the Loire Valley between Amboise and Blois. From a local road, an earthen track snakes through fields over several hundred metres to the property. The complex of buildings stands on a grassy two-hectare plot that mainly faces southwards, looking down over the valley. Three main buildings adjoin each other in a row that runs from east to west: a barn, a 16th-century dwelling and a more recent extension. Around 20 metres west of this three-section edifice, a sheep shed adjoins an agricultural storage building. And even further westwards, there is a one-hectare plot of farmland. To the south, a wooded area covers around 1.5 hectares. It slopes down to the road below. The grounds also include a well and a small lake surrounded by groves on the edge of the neighbouring woods. The house has a 16th-century section, its main part, with a mullioned window that makes it recognisable. Two extensions have been added to this oldest part: one was added on the north side in the 19th century and another was added in the 20th century. The walls are coated with rendering, the window and door surrounds and quoins are made of limestone, and the doors and shutters are painted red. The roofs are covered with small traditional tiles, except for the northern roof slope of the 20th-century section, which is covered with synthetic slate tiles.
