An18th-century manor house, on a former wine-growing estate of 12 hectares, with wine warehouses, outbuildings, grounds, a pond and woods, 60 kilometres from Tours. A small country road skirts the property’s tall stone walls, followed by its initial outbuildings before reaching its gate, which faces a wide tree-lined lane that extends between fields and farm tracks. At the property’s gate, a stone wall opens onto a wide courtyard, planted in the middle with two impressive Chinese mulberry trees, while, the manor, visible in the background, is flanked by its outbuildings on either side. Dating from the 18th century, the property was originally a wine-growing estate, while the two-storey manor, built in the Directoire style out of local stone, embodies traditional architecture, specific to the region. With an inhabitable floor area of approximately 435 m², the dwelling consists of a long central structure – the main façade of which is cadenced by doors and small-paned windows – flanked on either side by two adjacent lower extensions and topped with a slate roof, which is, in turn, crowned with zinc ornamental décor and finials. As for the back of the house, although different from the front, it still combines the elegance of the dwelling's symmetrical rectilinear windows and shed dormers with, in the middle, a unique triangular pediment, which adds a touch or originality to the whole. In addition, vaulted cellars extend under the entire building, while, to one side, a completely independent five-room caretaker’s cottage abuts a large courtyard, former stables and agricultural storage buildings, which are also accessible from the small country road via a second gate, providing an independent and more inconspicuous entrance. Moreover, the property also includes, on the other side of the front courtyard, another outbuilding, which is currently used as a holiday cottage with a capacity of 6 to 8 people. With a grass-covered, shady interior courtyard, this building has its own private entrance via a separate gate and faces a former wine warehouse, today reconverted into a reception hall with hardwood floors.

A stately 18th-century property with outbuildings, a swimming pool and landscaped grounds, in a residential neighbourhood on the outskirts of Tours. Nestled within a residential neighbourhood in a town along the banks of the Cher, the dwelling is situated on carefully maintained landscaped grounds of nearly 4,500 m², planted with plenty of trees and flowers, which includes a large covered patio, swimming pool, greenhouse and two outbuildings. From the street, the property is accessible via a wrought-iron gate supported by two stone pillars, which opens onto a gravel drive that runs alongside part of the grounds and one of the dwelling’s wings, in the direction of the two outbuildings used for vehicle parking. As for the U-shaped, two-storey dwelling, composed of an 18th-century central building framed by two wings, it surrounds, in the back, a grassy courtyard, scattered with pruned box trees, and accessible via an opening flanked by two tuffeau stone pillars on either side, which are then extended by low stone walls. With tall rectangular, small-paned windows, the house’s tuffeau stone exteriors are topped by a slate gable roof, which is, in turn, crowned by gable dormer windows, whereas its eastern wing includes a large picture window, in the same style, as well as several additional rectangular windows. Last, but not least, the dwelling’s interior has been well conserved with hardwood floors, fireplaces, wood panelling and tuffeau stone walls, while the eastern wing’s gable end has been converted into a garage, the plaster-coated rubble stone exterior of which is accessible via wooden double doors.

20 minutes to the east of Tours, a former outbuilding, transformed into a pleasant family home with a garden. An iron gate opens from the street onto a gravelled parking area that leads up to the courtyard in front of the entrance to the house on one side and to the garden at the foot of the slope on the other side. This former outbuilding has been fully transformed and was enhanced by an extension in 2005. While outside only the brick window frames and a part of the building pay witness to its past, inside the partially exposed stone walls are well-preserved and combine with modern architecture. It has been designed as a family home, with six bedrooms ready to welcome new occupants, large west-facing windows and a vast reception room that opens onto the garden. There are three cellars in the hill slope and a flight of steps leads to a wooded area at its summit.

Just 20 minutes from Tours and a few kilometers from a sought-after town, a longère from the 18th century and its outbuildings, set on nearly 5 hectares of land. A path leads to the property between meadows and wooded areas, away from other homes but close to two lively towns. A long tree-lined driveway crosses a meadow to the porch of the barn. The longère then reveals itself behind a large landscaped courtyard serving three buildings. A typical construction of the Touraine region, the main house, built of rubble under a tiled roof with dormers, has two levels. The spacious reception rooms on the ground floor have retained their original features, while four bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the attic. A guest house comprises two rooms and a washroom. A barn is divided into two spaces.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A city dwelling with four bedrooms and a separate studio flat, surrounded by a landscaped garden, within a residential neighbourhood on the outskirts of Tours. From a quiet street in a residential neighbourhood, a long drive leads to the gate, which then continues on to the dwelling, whose gable end features two garage doors, before finally terminating with a wide car park, extended by a carport. As for the dwelling, sheltered from view, it faces east-west and is surrounded by a garden with a variety of landscaped areas, planted with flowers, shrubs and many different trees, which were chosen in order to provide its exterior with a riot of colourful blossoms throughout the year. On the ground floor, a large sunny living area, primarily illuminated by glass double doors giving on to the patio, is divided into a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and a dining room, which is then extended by an open kitchen, while a bedroom with a wardrobe next to a shower room can also be found on this level. Lastly, on the first floor, under the eaves, a landing communicates with three bedrooms, a bathroom and a wardrobe, whereas a separate studio flat was created on the first floor of the garage.

A house with a garden and two garages in Tours, in France's Loire Valley, not far from the city centre. Set back from a calm street, the house is partly hidden by a magnolia. A gate in a rendered stone wall encloses a front court. An iron pedestrian gate framed between two brick pillars leads into the property. The house has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. Stone balusters run across the top of the facade. The rendered facade is punctuated with rectangular windows. A front flight of steps leads up to the entrance door. At the back, a garden stretches to a cul-de-sac that leads to two garages. Today, the house is divided into a ground-floor apartment, a first floor with two bedrooms, one of which has a bathroom and a lavatory and the other one of which has an adjoining office or walk-in wardrobe, and a second floor with two studio apartments. A basement extends beneath the building. The whole edifice could be turned back into a family home. Depending on your plans, a certain amount of renovation work would be required.

In a village 30 minutes from Tours, a master house, its garden, and its numerous outbuildings. Located on one of the village's main streets, the residence made of tuffeau is built over two levels plus an attic. On each side, an iron gate gives access to a grassy space on one side, and to a passage under a stone balustrade terrace leading to a courtyard lined with many workshops; then to the garden on the other side. Facing north-south, the street-facing façade is pierced with tall windows that illuminate the reception rooms on the ground floor and the bedrooms on the first floor. Marble fireplaces, ceilings adorned with rosettes, woodwork, and parquet floors have been preserved. Extending from the building in an L-shape, a building raised to one floor in the attic divides into a room to be restored with a room on the upper floor and a large workshop with three tiled rooms, accessible from the courtyard. The garden then extends, bordered on one side by three other outbuildings housing two workshops and an open garage, and on the other by a stone wall against which a tuffeau shed is built.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In the center of Tours, between courtyard and garden, a 19th-century townhouse and its converted annexes. The building dates from 1850. Located on a one-way street, it is built over three levels, including a converted attic, on a cellar. To the west, on the street side, the facade made of light brick and tuffeau decorations features six rectangular openings. At the first level, they frame a double arched wooden carriage door and an opening with a triangular pediment supported by sculpted consoles. At the second level, protruding from the carriage door, a corbelled balcony with a wrought iron railing adds rhythm to the facade. It is complemented by a cornice with dentils and corbels, beneath a slate roof. At the third level, two dormer windows with curved arches punctuate the roof. On the garden side, the annexes are covered with wooden cladding, and the roofs are made of zinc and slate. The interior spaces are bright, with light wooden floors and white walls. The house at the back opens onto a landscaped courtyard with converted annex buildings and a small garden. A boiler room and two cellars occupy the basement.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Between Tours and Vendôme, a fully renovated former mill, with outbuildings and 1.3-hectare tree-filled grounds. From the centre of the village, a narrow street leads to the property. There are two entrance gates, one to the front and one to the rear of the buildings. The first opens onto a parking area and a car port where two vehicles can be parked. A drive runs through part of the grounds, through which the River Brenne flows, and leads around the former mill to a patio enclosed by a wooden fence with a gate in front of the building, which is made up of two edifices and was built with rubble stone covered with rendering. The different sized windows have brick frames, which is typical of the region, and the large patio doors on the ground floor let light stream generously into all the rooms. A former lean-to standing against the gable end has been transformed into a summer kitchen and is glazed on three sides. Five bedrooms and a vast office space are spread over the first two floors. The attic level forms a single room and the whole building has recently been fully renovated. Next to the mill, an outbuilding with a bread oven could be converted, as could the brick outbuilding alongside the narrow street. Opposite the mill, a barn is used for storing gardening material and also serves as a workshop. The banks of the mill race have been planted with flower beds and the grounds are very well kept, with a variety of trees, a range of landscaped spaces, lawns and a vegetable garden.

A property designed for events with two reception halls, a convertible barn and 2.5 hectares of grounds with lakes, 15 minutes from the town of Amboise in France’s Loire Valley. A country road runs through fields and forests to the hamlet where the property lies. The edifices here were once farm buildings. But over the course of the centuries they have been converted into dwellings. They include a former tithe barn that dates back to 1570. Indeed, this former tithe barn is a token of the hamlet’s origins. The country road first runs alongside a barn and past a vast parking area. It then leads to a gravel drive with a tree-dotted garden on one side and a lake on the other. In the property’s inner court, there is a first dwelling on one side and a second dwelling on another side. The former tithe barn extends the latter. This former tithe barn has been converted into a reception hall for 120 people. A few hundred metres away, another drive, closed with an iron gate, runs alongside a lake up to a building with a wooden frame and timber cladding. This building houses a second reception hall. It has an 80-person capacity and includes a kitchen and lavatory. Behind this second reception hall, there are three wooden chalets on a vast lawn. The property is rented out for events and accommodation. Its reservation schedule is usually full, booked up as much for summer gatherings as for end-of-year festivities.

A 12th century castle, remodelled in the 19th century, with 25 ha in the heart of the Loir Valley countryside, north of Tours. This estate is in a wild, wooded setting, with a view over the surrounding countryside. It is reached via two driveways, one reserved for visitors and the other for tradespeople. The first is a long avenue, with woods and meadows on either side. It is barred halfway along by gates, flanked by tall pillars, and is dotted with old streetlamps, lighting the way to the entrance courtyard in front of the castle, with the keep looking on. It precedes the old chapel, the top section of which is now converted into a bedroom, followed by a house that could be used as a caretaker’s cottage and, lastly, the castle. Driveways lead from the entrance courtyard to the rear where there are carparks and meadows, delimited by hedges. A pathway gives access to the south-facing, swimming pool area, surrounded by safety fencing and partially enclosed by old walls. A driveway goes down on the west side to the outbuildings, comprising an annexe house and its small outbuildings, a 350 m² building, with an area given over to physical well-being on the ground floor, a barn and its workshop, a building housing five horse loose boxes and a tack room, and another building that could take cars, although it is currently fitted with six horse loose boxes. Meadows beyond the outbuildings could accommodate horses. Woods border the property.

A former priory from the 13th and 16th centuries, partially listed as a national Historical Monument, surrounded by grounds of nearly 35 hectares, on the outskirts of Tours. The property, undetectable from a street along the edge of the village, is accessible from an iron gate that opens on to a lane that ascends gradually through the woods and leads to the base of the tower and the remains of the enclosure wall, before skirting the buildings until it reaches the priory. In addition, the property is also accessible via a second gate that opens on to an immense gravel courtyard planted with flowering shrubs, which communicates with all of the buildings. On one side, a tithe barn, 40 metres long, whose exteriors, wooden rafters and roof are all listed as national Historical Monuments, stands directly opposite from the prior’s dwelling, flanked on either side by outbuildings and a tower, while, to the north, a farmhouse abuts the enclosure wall. In the middle of it all is an impressive dovecote, listed as a regional Historical Monument, as is the tower, the remains of the enclosure wall and the dwelling’s exteriors and rooftops. As for the dwelling, restored, it has become a sunny living environment, whose original features, such as its stone spiral staircase, fireplaces and pointed stone walls, have been faithfully preserved, while the property’s farmhouse has been turned into guest accommodations for six people and the barn and outbuilding at the base of the tower are used to host receptions. Lastly, the final outbuilding, half of which was transformed into public bathrooms, is still used as a workshop and could be developed further, whereas the grounds, which extend over nearly 35 hectares, are made up of woods and meadows, crisscrossed by pathways and waterways.
