luxury house for sale Villedômer, France (page 8)

A unique and surprising 19th-century edifice with almost two hectares of grounds, just outside Tours. The history of this property is closely tied to the history of the Mame family, which left its mark on the city of Tours for around two centuries. Alfred Mame, the grandson of a printing works founder, became the director of the famous printing works Mame in 1845. He had a modern vision for his firm, both in factory design and labour relations, with the creation of a special housing estate for his workers: the Cité Mame. This modern vision ensured his success. As a botany-lover, Alfred Mame bought this estate in 1841 and extended it considerably from 1857 onwards. At the time, French landscape gardening was changing radically. Mame entrusted the landscape gardener Eugène Bühler with the task of transforming the estate. Bühler was known for having designed the Parc du Thabor in the city of Rennes. The project involved creating greenhouses, building caretaker homes and outhouses and embellishing the grounds. The pavilions and stable were completed in 1869. From the road that runs alongside the grounds and woods, you can enter the property via two entrances. A wrought-iron gate with volutes leads onto a driveway that runs across the grounds. And a second gate, framed between two pillars of brick and tuffeau stone, leads into a parking area and to two outbuildings used as a garage, a storeroom and a workshop. A drive winds around the edifice to the central court and its lawn, beyond a few steps. A terrace beneath a glass canopy roof runs alongside the building up to its main entrance. The edifice is shaped like a horseshoe and is perfectly symmetrical. It faces west. It has a central pavilion framed between two curved wings, each with their own pavilion at their end. Its elevations are made of exposed red brick and tuffeau stone. Its rear elevations are rendered. The window and door surrounds are made of red brickwork that alternates with tuffeau stone. A tuffeau cornice runs above them. Finely crafted timber braces support and bring out the remarkable slate roof. Opposite the edifice, the grounds slope gently downwards among majestic trees and lush lawns.

An elegant 19th-century dwelling, its outbuildings and enclosed garden in the centre of a village, 25 minutes from Tours. From a street in the village centre, the property is accessible via a small door or double gate supported by two tuffeau stone pillars, which is flanked on either side by a low stone wall topped with a wrought-iron fence. These two entrances open onto the partially tree-filled courtyard around which the three buildings are located. A short pathway passes by flowerbeds before reaching the manor house, while a gravel courtyard extends all the way to the outbuilding, bordered by the workshop at a right angle. Clad in finely crafted tuffeau stone, the dwelling’s two-storey façades are punctuated by large or small-paned picture windows and topped with a slate hipped roof. Extending on from the main building, the outbuilding includes a garage on the ground floor and an independent studio in the back. A galleria, the link between the two buildings, includes an enclosed patio at one end that opens onto the garden in the back of the property. Planted with flowerbeds, which define the spaces meant either for relaxation or recreation, the garden gets plenty of sun and is sheltered from view thanks to the property’s high walls. In addition, the arched windows topped with glazed fanlights, on the first floor of the house’s back façade, bathe the five large upstairs bedrooms in sunlight, while the skylights in the sixth bedroom, built under the eaves, provide this last room with plenty of sunshine.

A keep and a watchtower, vestiges of 13th century fortifications, in the centre of Blois. The keep, currently standing between houses and gardens, can be reached via a small, raised, public esplanade. A private plot, spanning just under 0.02 ha, could be converted into a parking area. The watchtower, no doubt a former bastion given its square shape and its height of less than 12 metres, is set about a hundred metres away from the keep. It is partially embedded in a contemporary construction. The tower predominantly stands on the shoulder of the road.
