luxury listed house for sale Orleans, France

A 15th-century house listed as a historical monument with a timber-framed facade of masterfully carved beams, nestled in the historical heart of Blois, opposite the city’s cathedral. The centuries-old house – “La Maison des Acrobates” – is listed as a historical monument. It is doubtless the oldest civil dwelling that still stands in the heart of Blois. It combines timber-framed architecture with expressive sculptures and subtle symbolism. Its remarkable facade of wooden beams with cob filler and brick is typical of the 15th century. There is a ground floor, two upstairs floors with corbelling and a third floor in the roof space. A spiral staircase links the levels together. Apart from the top floor, each level is taken up by a single room. On the ground floor, there is, on one side, a large front window – the token of a former shop here. And on the other side, there are two studded wooden entrance doors: one leads straight to the house and the other one leads to a corridor that takes you to the neighbouring house at the back. Small-paned casement windows, probably enlarged in the 18th or 19th century, bring natural light into the upstairs floors. On the third floor, two gabled dormers frame a hipped dormer, which is bigger, upon a slate roof. The back windows look out at the court of a neighbouring townhouse.

Just steps from the banks of the Cher River, in the heart of the medieval town of Montrichard, this remarkable 15th-century residence—classified as a Historic Monument—embodies the timeless elegance of the Loire Valley’s heritage with rare authenticity. The result of an exemplary restoration carried out in 2008 in collaboration with the *Architecte des Bâtiments de France* (State Architect for Historic Buildings), the property strikes a subtle balance between the nobility of its original architecture and the comfort of contemporary interiors. Spanning nearly 290 m² of floor area across four levels (236 m² *Loi Carrez*), it now houses four character-filled apartments, each with its own unique identity: a charming studio, an elegant one-bedroom apartment, a one-bedroom duplex, and a spacious two-bedroom duplex. The first-floor apartments open onto two delightful, secluded courtyards—true havens of serenity shielded from view. The ground floor currently accommodates two commercial spaces in the town center. Their layout also allows for the possibility of converting them into two apartments. Beyond its remarkable architecture, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in an exceptional region, in the immediate vicinity of the Loire Valley’s most prestigious châteaux and landscapes listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. An exclusive address where heritage, art de vivre, and investment potential blend with rare elegance. A property designed for lovers of historic homes seeking a truly unique setting.

- Listed historical ensemble of rare authenticity, including a chapel, listed as a Historical Monument, the commander's residence and the tithe barn - 7-hectare park with spring and stream, possibility of acquiring additional hectares, outdoor swimming pool - Possibility of numerous projects (prestigious family residence, exceptional secondary residence, or even a hospitality, cultural or event project, enhancing a rare historical heritage, equestrian property or animal boarding, organization of weddings, concerts or cultural and heritage events...) - 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris, 10 minutes from the A77 and Cosne-sur-Loire with SNCF train station, 20 minutes from La Charité-sur-Loire and Sancerre - Significant tax advantages (works on property under the historical monuments scheme) Listed historical ensemble, dating from the second half of the 12th century, in the heart of a preserved estate of more than 7 hectares. Nestled in the heart of a large, wooded park, sheltered from prying eyes and all disturbances, the Commandery of Villemoison is a heritage property of rare authenticity, situated in a verdant valley crossed by a stream and fed by a spring and a Romanesque well. Particularly rare, this complex has retained its three original buildings, characteristic of a Romanesque commandery of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, later the Order of Malta: the chapel, listed as a Historic Monument since 1907, the commander's residence, and the tithe barn, whose facades and roofs are also listed as Historic Monuments. Such preservation is exceptional and confers upon the property a historical, architectural, and heritage value of the highest order. The chapel houses a remarkable medieval mural depicting Christ in Majesty in its apse. Two splendid Renaissance dormer windows in the east façade of the Commander's House, adorned with the sculpted coat of arms of Claude d'Ancienville, cupbearer to Francis I and Commander of Malta at Villemoison around 1530, attest to the estate's historical significance. The house is complemented by an elegant 16th-century stone stair tower and extended by a former farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, offering approximately 400 square meters of living space. Carefully restored, the property now comprises nine main rooms, including five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two shower rooms. It successfully combines the charm of period architecture with contemporary comfort. The grounds also include an outdoor swimming pool, several outbuildings, and extensive grounds. The tithe barn, with a footprint of approximately 100 square meters beneath a remarkable old timber frame, presents particularly interesting volumes and offers significant potential for development. The chapel, which remains consecrated, also offers the possibility of hosting weddings, concerts, or cultural and heritage events, in accordance with applicable regulations. This property would be equally suitable as a prestigious family residence, an exceptional second home, or a cultural or event-based hospitality project that showcases a rare historical heritage. As a listed Historic Monument, the estate may, subject to current legal provisions and administrative authorizations, qualify for tax benefits on certain works, as well as subsidies or support from the DRAC (Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs) for conservation and restoration projects.

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.
