Tucked away in a lush green valley, in the Berry countryside so dear to George Sand, lies a place seemingly untouched by time: a 12th-century former Cistercian abbey, listed as a Historic Monument, whose buildings and surviving remains tell the story of nearly nine centuries of history. Set within an unspoilt natural environment and crossed by a small river, the property extends over more than 4 hectares of parkland, meadows and gardens, partly enclosed by old stone walls. From the moment one arrives, its charm is undeniable: ancient stonework, traditional roofs, century-old trees, courtyards and gardens come together to create a setting of remarkable authenticity. The former Prior’s House forms the main residence. It comprises eight rooms, including five bedrooms, and retains precious traces of its past: the former cloister gallery, wall paintings, arrow slits and historic architectural features. These details give the property that rare and distinctive atmosphere found only in houses deeply rooted in history. Nearby, the former monks’ refectory, measuring approximately 130 sqm, has been restored and converted into a guest house. A former henhouse, now transformed into a studio, together with several outbuildings barns, garage, cellar and boiler room complete the estate. The property has already benefited from significant restoration work, but now awaits a new owner to continue and complete its restoration. It will appeal to someone with a genuine appreciation for architectural heritage, whose ambition is not to transform the property, but rather to reveal its full potential while preserving its unique identity. For this former abbey is far more than simply a property. It is a place with a soul, a history and a presence of its own a heritage to live in, preserve and pass on to future generations. Located just 10 minutes from a town offering all amenities, and along the historic Way of Saint James to Santiago de Compostela, this is a rare opportunity for those with a passion for historic architecture, ancient stone and properties steeped in history.AI-enhanced photography no alteration to the property’s features

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.

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.

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.
