Réf. 4576: House and equestrian facilities for sale in Indre-et-Loire. Approximately equal distance to the Loire Valley’s three major cities of Angers, Tours and Le Mans. A private elevated position with good access to local amenities and nearby market towns. An established secluded estate offering potential as a permanent home as well as a business opportunity with several accommodations on site. A rare property in this sought after location. Designed by a local Architect for the current owner’s family in the 1970s. This contemporary home was built using traditional materials (oak and Trelazé slate roofs for example) on an elevated site in the middle of a pine forest. The domain was also landscaped and the owner’s equestrian passion saw the addition of a large stable block with accommodation, two training tracks, paddocks and a lodge within the estate. Typical of the era the main house of 303sqm has a basement and two above ground levels with comfortable distribution to the reception rooms and night quarters throughout. The entrance hall from the main front door is a vaulted room of 23sqm with balconied mezzanine area above providing easy access to the ground floor rooms. Immediately in front is the main lounge/dining room, 45sqm with feature fireplace, tiled floors, exposed ceiling beams and double doors to the south terrace to the rear of the house. To the right is a smaller dining room, double aspect of 15sqm with also doors to the south terrace and direct access to the kitchen. Itself 14sqm with oak cupboards and a separate utility room of 6sqm with door to the front of the house. A practical wc is at this end of the entrance hall. The other end of the entrance hall is the study of 12sqm. A corridor leads to the ground floor night quarters with two double bedrooms (22sqm and 12sqm) with a shared bathroom with bath and shower and separate wc. This smaller corridor also links back into the main lounge. The 1st floor accommodates 5 further double bedrooms of 11sqm, 21sqm, 17sqm, 17sqm and 28sqm. Two bedrooms have private balconies. One has its own shower room and there is also a shared family bathroom with 2 separate wcs. A storage/attic room of 9m² completes this floor. Internal access from the hallway takes us to the basement level with storage, wine cellar, double length garage with sloped entrance drive, boiler room and apartment with living room/kitchen, double bedroom and shower room with wc. Outbuildings : In addition to the large main residence, there is a second lodge with a wood glad finish providing second accommodation and currently used as office space. All on the ground floor we have a 28sqm double aspect lounge/office, a 18.5sqm dining room/kitchen, a second lounge of 27sqm with fireplace and fitted wood burner, a shower room and separate wc and a rear workshop of 11sqm. The remainder of this building provides storage space for equipment and hay. Immediately in front of this building is a large flat field previously used as paddocks with one of the training tracks running around it. The “Haras” (equestrian facility) is a U-shaped configuration providing a total of 11 stable boxes: 4 stable boxes of 4x3.5m on each side facing inwards with a further 3 stables on the exterior. The central section of the U has been optimised as a “care/treatment room” on one side and a tack room on the other. In between is a 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with kitchen of 14sqm, lounge of 19sqm and two bedrooms and a shower room and separate WC. Above on all three sides we have attic space. The property uses the on site well water to offer an irrigation system with central control. The pine forest is not dense and has an abundance of wildlife; a cuckoo followed me on my initial viewing. From the main gates the drive winds its way up through the forest with one split leading to the clearing with the main house and the other further up to the equestrian aspects. A second entrance from “above” permits access directly to the “haras” and paddocks. This property is being offered with a total surface area of a little over 55 acres. The majority of this is in one main “block” (circa 44 acres) which includes the two entrance drives, pine wooded area, flat paddocks/grazing and two training tracks (one white sand and one black). The estate last had horses on site approximately 10 years ago and the fencing for the paddocks is no longer present, the training tracks, etc. may require some attention prior to putting back into operation. In addition to the main land parcels surrounding the house there are another roughly 4.94 acres of further grazing/hay fields and 2.47 acres of woodland a short drive away.

A 19th-century chateau with outhouses, a chapel and a lake, nestled in 30 hectares of grounds in the south of France’s Touraine province. The seigneurial home that was built here on the ruins of a medieval mansion, of which no vestiges remain, was endlessly redesigned until it collapsed in 1860. In 1890, the decision was made to rebuild the edifice on the site. A renowned architect, Louis-Alfred Trolliet, a specialist in the reconstruction of chateaux, was entrusted with this task. He was responsible for the edifice you can see here today. Trolliet was nicknamed ‘the Viollet-le-Duc of the Berry province’ in a nod to the famous 19th-century French architect Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc who restored many medieval monuments. Trolliet won his spurs as a leading figure of the Troubadour style in French architecture with his restoration of the Château de Romefort in the town of Ciron. To rebuild the present property, he did not adopt the Troubadour style but rather the style of the Loire Valley chateaux that was also in vogue at the time. Trolliet opted for a long rectangular dwelling crowned with tall hipped roofs of slate tiles recalling the Château de Chenonceau and the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau. The grand edifice comes into view once you have gone through the entrance gate and made your way up the long central drive punctuated symmetrically with topiary box shrubs neatly clipped into cones. The château faces east and west. Its main section has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The adjoining square tower has a third floor in its roof space. The symmetrical elevations are rendered and punctuated with large small-paned windows fitted with wooden louvred shutters that are painted sky blue. Gabled dormers punctuate the roof of the main section and that of the square tower. Beyond the château, the drive crosses dense woodland on this estate, which covers around 30 hectares and includes a 1.2-hectare lake. Trolliet also decided to build two large lodges as foreparts of the château exactly opposite it. These two buildings are rectangular. They have a ground floor and a first floor. A third lodge stands at a right angle to one of them. This third structure has an eclectic style and recalls a train station. On the south side, a circular dovecote with a cone roof of terracotta tiles adorns the grounds. On the east side, there is a heated swimming pool. Behind the outhouses, a secondary entrance leads to a gravelled car park. Lastly, on the north-west side, there is a private lake. In the middle of this lake there is a small tree-dotted island.

A 6-hectare, 19th-century estate with a manor house, architect-designed villa and many outbuildings in the town centre of Richelieu. The estate was built in 1860 and can be reached from the north via a cul-de-sac, at the very end of which sands an automatic and secure gate. For pedestrian access, two private bridges also link the property to the town centre, located to the east. Between them, the town’s moats form a natural border, while to the west and south, the plot is bordered by Richelieu Park. The three-storey, T-shaped manor house is made of stone and brick. The edifice is topped by gabled slate roofs, underlined by lambrequins running all around them. The façades covered in climbing plants blend harmoniously into the surrounding grounds. Behind the house, to the north, a double garage can be found opposite a building in which a vast Turkish bath has been installed. To the southwest, a large, partially renovated set of buildings houses an approximately 350-m² architect-designed villa on which finishing work needs to be completed. Other outbuildings are dotted around the 6-hectare estate: an estate keeper’s house used as an office, a covered area, two washhouses, two studios, a former cold room and a tree house. There is also a swimming pool in the grounds.

In Touraine, a 16th-century manor rehabilitated by J.-B. Astier de Villatte, along with its guest house, ornamental garden, and swimming pool. Accessible through a large oak door leading to a paved courtyard, the house is built of tuffeau over three levels, topped with a gabled roof of tiles and flanked on its east side by an imposing staircase tower. Built in the 16th century on older foundations, the residence underwent a complete rehabilitation at the end of the 2000s by Jean-Baptiste Astier de Villatte. The volumes have been rethought, while some openings have been modified or created to refine the perspectives and light inputs. The walls, plastered with lime, are punctually covered with enamel tiles, a signature of the decorative architect. The French-style ceilings, painted and delicately floral, converse with terracotta tiled floors, with shapes and patterns specifically designed for each room. Custom oak joinery is created, while furniture is designed, manufactured, and installed specifically for the space. At the rear of the house, on the garden side, a large tuffeau barn, topped with a slate roof, opens at the end of a paved stone path from Chauvigny. The restoration here is decidedly contemporary, with large volumes bathed in light thanks to wide openings with metal frames. The floors are laid with tomettes and the doors and frameworks are in oak. Between the two bodies of buildings, a classic-inspired garden structures the perspectives. It is planted with cypress trees, olive trees, rose bushes, and fruit trees. It organizes the transition to a relaxation space between the terrace, pool, and lawn. The property also includes two vaulted cellars, a well, and two outbuildings.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In Montsoreau, a house reimagined by a heritage architect, its loggia and its panorama over the Loire and the castle. On a cobblestone square of the village, the house rises three levels in tuffeau stone. The main façade oriented to the south, coated with sand and lime, reveals the tuffeau around the window frames. The roof is made of slate, punctuated by two dormers with lowered arches. On the ground floor, the entrance leads to a living room open to a dining room and leads to a kitchen. The floors are tiled with a black and white cement checkerboard pattern. The exposed beams highlight the reception areas, while the living room is arranged around a brick fireplace equipped with a stove. From the kitchen, a quarter-turn staircase leads to the upper floors. On the first floor, a tiled landing distributes a toilet and a bathroom that opens onto a balcony. A corridor with terracotta tiles serves two south-facing bedrooms, one of which has a stone fireplace. On the second floor, the landing opens onto a spacious attic bedroom, extending from north to south. An approximately 11 m² loggia, with an oak structure and clad in chestnut paneling and poplar cladding, extends the space and offers a panoramic view of the castle and the Loire.This description has been automatically translated from French.
