luxury house with reception room for sale Couddes, France

In Indre, against the ruins of a listed Renaissance castle, there is a comfortable house and a reception hall. At the back of a vast honor courtyard, beyond deep dried moats, the imposing facade of the ruined castle unfolds. The whole is a remarkable witness to the architecture of the early French Renaissance. A guest room has been created in the remaining tower. On one side of the courtyard, former outbuildings have now been converted into a comfortable long house of nearly 220 m², facing full south. Finally, at the entrance of the property, a carefully restored barn has been transformed into a large reception hall rented for weddings. The property thus consists of three built ensembles around a landscaped area, complementing each other.This description has been automatically translated from French.

An exceptional art of living, where history meets elegance Sheltered from view, in the heart of an unspoiled natural setting between Touraine and Berry, lies a rare estate where time seems to stand still.

Designed for entertaining, the estate offers multiple living spaces, independent guesthouses, and reception rooms, opening the door to a wide range of projects, whether private or event-based. Blending timeless charm with remarkable potential, this unique property invites you to enjoy a serene, elegant, and inspired lifestyle, just 2H40 from Paris.

A manor with outbuildings and a 15th-century chapel, listed as a Historical Monument, with 10 hectares of land, between the Touraine and Berry regions. A wide gravel drive leads to the property’s entrance: an arched carriage door with a wooden gate flanked by the chapel’s gable end on one side and a defensive tower on the other. In dressed and exposed tuffeau stone, it is topped with a gabled flat-tile roof and opens onto a vast gravel courtyard and lawns decorated with flowerbeds, around which the different dwellings are located. An initial L-shaped building is flanked by the defensive tower and includes a reception space, a holiday cottage and bedrooms. Its gabled roofs are covered in flat tiles and punctuated by hayloft dormer windows with triangular pediments. A second building, with a gabled flat-tile roof, two gabled dormer windows and two hayloft dormer windows – all four with triangular pediments – abuts the chapel and is extended by the manor. The third building, a square-shaped former dovecote, has been converted into a holiday cottage, built over two levels under an attic space, with a hipped slate roof. Following on from there is an individual cottage, with a three-sided roof covered in flat tiles and adorned with a hayloft dormer window with a triangular pediment. Its stone masonry façades are cadenced by different size windows, which are then surrounded by dressed tuffeau stone. In addition, the property also contains two outbuildings: one is located along the edge of the grounds, while the other is surrounded by woodland. Landscaped grounds spread out all around the buildings, with a small pond behind the manor and an aboveground swimming pool on pylons facing the fields and woods.
