On the edge of the royal city of Loches, the Indre outlines the contours of a rare estate: nearly 1.5 hectares of nature, about 200 meters of private banks, and the historically rich buildings of an old mill complex. Goldwelling exclusively presents this unique property, which combines the charm of ancient heritage, generous volumes, and remarkable development potential. Preserved from urban nuisances while remaining close to the city center, it is located about 15 minutes on foot from the train station and 1.5 km from the hypercenter. The whole was once part of the famous four-wheel mill of Loches, and its location by the water, its architecture, and its volumes still bear the traces of this history. The property benefits from around 200 meters of private banks along the Indre, a river classified in the second category for fishing. Over €80,000 in renovation work has been carried out in the past five years. Fully renovated, the main house offers about 200 m² of living space, including a vast living room of 65 m², three bedrooms, one of which is over 40 m², a large bathroom, and a new shower room. The Mobalpa kitchen, installed five years ago, is fully equipped. Heating is provided by a hybrid wood and pellet insert, remotely programmable, installed four years ago and boasting an announced efficiency of 92%. All windows are double-glazed, and the entrance door has also been replaced. The roof has been entirely rebuilt with oak and douglas fir, including a rain barrier, and has a ten-year warranty lasting until 2035. On the upper level, the attic, already fitted with Velux roof windows and currently used as a workshop, represents additional development potential of about 60 m² of living space. The property also includes a space dedicated to an indoor covered and heated swimming pool: the pool of approximately 7 x 4 meters is housed in a building of around 75 m², extended by a solarium of about 35 m². The roof of this building has also been fully redone. An independent house of approximately 50 m² completes the ensemble. Suitable for hosting friends, for a caretaker's accommodation, or for rental activity, it includes a bedroom upstairs. Its door and window are new and equipped with double glazing. Several outbuildings remain to be renovated, offering particularly interesting transformation potential. Already connected to water and electricity and benefiting, in places, from a ceiling height of up to 7 meters, they could lend themselves to the creation of two lofts, an artist or craftsman workshop, a restaurant, a bar, a guinguette, a third place, or any other professional project compatible with the required permits. These spaces offer approximately 80 m² on the ground floor and 75 m² on the upper floor, in addition to a terrace and a bedroom already arranged. The frames are new, compliant with ERP standards, fully equipped with double glazing, and include two large sliding doors. A covered area housing a bread oven complements the buildings and recalls the authenticity of this former mill site. The estate of about 1.5 hectares is organized into several spaces: reception courtyard, vegetable garden, meadow, woods, and a particularly diverse orchard where plum trees, persimmons, cherry trees, pear trees, apple trees, fig trees, muscat vines, mirabelle plum trees, apricot trees, and peach trees coexist. Two independent accesses serve the property. One of them, directly accessible from the street, allows for the creation of a large parking area while preserving the tranquility of the residential parts. As a royal city and sub-prefecture, Loches benefits from three major tourism recognitions: its membership in the "Most Beautiful Detours of France," the label "City of Art and History," and a three-star distinction in the Michelin Green Guide. Due to its configuration and location, the property is particularly suited for the development of a professional project and is situated in an area likely to qualify, subject to compliance with eligibility conditions, for certain tax exemption schemes. Loches is about 50 minutes from Tours and has regular bus and train connections. Starting in 2030, the future metropolitan express regional service is expected to integrate Loches into the Grand Tours metropolitan network, aiming to facilitate travel to Tours and proposing a common pricing system with the tram network. Property tax: approximately €2,500 per year. Estimated annual energy expenses for the main house: between €3,340 and €4,580, based on average energy prices indexed to the years 2021, 2022, and 2023. Price: €545,000, fees payable by the seller. Information regarding the risks to which this property is exposed can be consulted on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr.
