On the heights of Rochecorbon, in the heart of an exceptional natural site, this discreet property unfolds timeless elegance, inherited from several centuries of history. Overlooking the slopes, just 15 minutes from the center of Tours, it offers a spectacular panorama of the valley, in a calm and preserved environment. All of this is nestled in a tree-lined park of more than 6,498 m², including 3,876 m² of wooded hillside, ensuring privacy, freshness, and character. Built between the 16th, 18th, and late 19th centuries, this characterful residence of approximately 530 m² in total (of which 310 m² is habitable and 220 m² to be renovated) reflects an evolving, refined, and authentic architecture. A master house composed of two wings of buildings that are perpendicular and communicate with each other. The house is spread over three levels with original materials, limestone, terracotta tiles, large fireplaces, ancient beams, stained glass doors, and modern amenities coexisting harmoniously. On the ground floor: A large hall leads to a vestibule, on one side a first living room with its large fireplace, and on the other side another room with a monumental stone staircase leading to the upper floor and the other wing of the building. Then a door leads to the north courtyard. On the same side on the upper floor: a small office lounge and a second living room with its large fireplace, and a second staircase leads to a landing with a closet, two bedrooms, and a shower room. Back at the main staircase, a second landing that leads to the other wing of the building offers a shower room with a renovated shower and sinks. Then on the second floor, a cross corridor leads to a shower room and water closet, two bedrooms, a dressing room, the kitchen, a dining room, and a door that gives access to the terrace and garden. The upper level offers the potential for more than 140 m² of additional development, while a 40 m² orangery to be restored opens the way for multiple projects (workshop, wellness space…). In addition, there is a guardian’s house or keeper's lodge of 36 m² consisting of a room on the ground floor and a room on the first floor that also requires renovation. Three courtyards are divided as follows: Northern courtyard of the first building served by a gate, which contains: a kennel, a small shed, a gate, and a water closet, leading to a troglodytic kitchen with a fireplace, another room with an entrance to the former press and the cellars. Large honor courtyard to the south, served by a gate and a small door, from which five cellars open, namely: a cellar serving as a garage with high-performance wood boiler (FROLING boiler) and a former elevator, two other cellars including an old stable, a cellar with a bread oven, and another cellar in two parts. Another courtyard further south opening through a gate, several cellars including one with a large ancient fireplace, the entrance to a quarry, and another small adjoining stable. In this courtyard is a well with a separate pump and motor. More than a property, this place is an experience, one of living history, preserving heritage, and offering a rare breath between nature and culture, and a promise of a future to be shaped.This description has been automatically translated from French.
