On the outskirts of Orléans, in the commune of Saint-Ay, just 1 hour 20 minutes from Paris, discover a fully renovated character property of 605 m², set within a wooded park of 2,008 m² steeped in history and charm.

Built around 1850 by a vinegar merchant from the famous Maison Martin-Pouret, this residence has retained all its authenticity and has a DPE rating of C. Long known as the ‘Propriété aux mille culs de bouteilles’ (the property of a thousand bottle bottoms), a reference to its unique history, it now offers an exceptional living environment, combining elegance, generous spaces and the potential for hospitality.
As soon as you pass through the gate, you’ll be captivated. The property boasts distinctive architecture, enhanced by lush, immaculately maintained grounds. A fully paved courtyard provides space for several vehicles.
The property has two separate entrances: one for private use and the other for business or tourist purposes, ensuring complete separation between the two areas and meaning no one needs to be present when guests arrive.
The main part of the property, dedicated to living space, covers approximately 220 m². The ground floor features beautiful rooms with generous living areas, adorned with numerous period fireplaces, a fitted and equipped kitchen, a study and a separate toilet. The first floor is entirely devoted to the sleeping areas. It comprises a master suite with its own en-suite shower room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a separate toilet.

The second part of the property is currently used to accommodate guests. It comprises three guest rooms, each with its own shower room or bathroom with toilet, as well as a self-contained flat of approximately 110 m². This features a spacious living room with a cathedral ceiling, three bedrooms, a bathroom fitted with a bath and shower, and a separate toilet.
The ground floor is dedicated to hosting seminars and events. It comprises a reception room equipped with a video projector and a screen, as well as a fully fitted kitchen for preparing breakfasts and catering for guests, toilets compliant with disabled access standards, and a terrace with a pergola.

As for the outbuildings, the property features two garages, each with a roof terrace, a utility room, a boiler room and two cellars, as well as an attic.

Outside, the landscaped garden offers an idyllic setting, perfect for relaxation and socialising, complete with a boules court. A beautiful wooden terrace surrounds the swimming pool, which blends seamlessly into the overall design; it stands out for its ingenious sliding wooden terrace system that conceals it when not in use, thus preserving the property’s aesthetic appeal whilst ensuring the safety of residents and guests.

A rare property, combining a characterful family home with genuine potential for tourism or events, on the outskirts of Orléans. Energy Performance Certificate: C / C
