BLOIS - LES GROUËTS
Exclusivity: L'Arche
An exceptional property suspended above the Loire Valley
Some homes are born from a project. Others arise from a vision. L'Arche belongs to the latter category.
Built in 1976 on the heights of the highly sought-after Grouëts neighborhood in Blois, this property has known only one family since its inception. Its name is not trivial.
Inspired by Noah's Ark, imagined by its founding owner as a place of gathering and transmission, this house has been designed to welcome generations, bring loved ones together, and fully enjoy an exceptional panorama of the Loire Valley.
This story is reflected even in its architecture.
Its spectacular central fireplace resembles that of a ship. The vast terrace that runs along the entire façade is akin to the deck of this imaginary building. Here, the gaze does not drift towards the ocean... but towards one of the most beautiful landscapes of the Loire region, inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage.
From the entrance, the volumes impress. The living room of about 55 m², bathed in light thanks to its enormous aluminum bay windows, offers a constant feeling of openness to nature. The fireplace naturally becomes the heart of the house, while each room seems oriented towards light and the landscape.
The property offers nearly 300 m² of living space, plus more than 380 m² of additional areas, set within a landscaped park of approximately 3,380 m², crafted with passion over the decades.
Designed as a true family home, it offers eight bedrooms, most of which have their own bathroom or private shower room, providing intimacy and comfort for everyone.
An independent wing of about 66 m², now integrated into the main residence, can return to its initial purpose of autonomous housing thanks to its private exterior access. An ideal configuration for welcoming family, friends, a liberal profession, or staff.
But the discovery doesn’t stop there.
On the garden level, largely open to the park and benefiting from the same exceptional panorama as the main rooms, an entire level is dedicated to leisure and moments of sharing.
An elegant heated billiard room of 46 m², expansive reception areas, multiple cellars, workshops, and technical rooms make up this light-filled floor, providing a natural extension of the home into the garden.
An impressive volume, originally designed to accommodate an indoor pool, remains today in its raw state. Rare for its dimensions and its location facing the valley, it offers future owners the opportunity to create a remarkable wellness space with a pool, spa, gym, or reception area according to their desires.
The quality of construction also deserves to be highlighted.
At a time when buildings were constructed to last, this property benefited from particularly ambitious technical choices. Its walls combine a double masonry of Burgundy stone with 7 cm Foamglass insulation, offering remarkable performance even today. The large aluminum bay windows were selected from one of the premium manufacturers of the time, ensuring a quality of construction rarely encountered in buildings of this generation. The whole is topped with a natural slate roof from Trélazé.
Heating is provided by a fully electric system combining underfloor heating in the main living areas and convectors in other spaces.
Just a few minutes from downtown Blois, shops, schools, the train station connecting to Paris in about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and the A10 motorway, L'Arche combines remarkable construction quality, rare volumes, a privileged environment, and a unique history.
Some properties impress. Others tell a story. L'Arche does both. It now awaits those who will write the next chapter of its story.
Given the uniqueness of this property and the richness of its spaces, a first phone exchange is preferred. On this occasion, an immersive discovery link will be provided to carry out a commented pre-visit remotely together. A particularly appreciated approach allowing for an understanding of the places in great detail before any on-site visit.
