Why this property will seduce you

  • Dominant Position: Listed Château on 5 ha with park and woods.
  • Neo-Gothic Architecture: Iconic dwelling with tuffeau and Loir valley flint.
  • Pepper Pot Turret: Picturesque detail with carved corbels and slate roof.
A neo-Gothic chateau, granted regional Historical Monument status, with nearly 5 ha of grounds, meadows & woods, on a hillside in the Loire Valley. On the edge of the Bercé public woodland and on the outskirts of a picturesque village with shops, the estate, set back and sheltered from view, is surrounded by hedges or old walls topped with metal railing. As for the property, it is laid out around the chateau, the latter of which is built up against the hillside and nestled within grounds that combine pastures, AOC vineyards and woods, while the edifice, built from 1908 to 1913 and recognised as a regional Historical Monument since 1984, is characteristic of the flamboyant neo-Gothic style, very much in fashion among the aristocracy and the upper middle class at that time.
With a floor area of approximately 275 m², it has four storeys including a garden level as well as one under the eaves, whereas its slate roofs are punctuated by many dormers, the latter of which were constructed out of tuffeau stone as were the chateau’s cornices, quoins and window/door surrounds.
To the east and west, stone staircases, safeguarded by bannisters, provide access to an entrance hall and a kitchen, while a patio overlooking the garden skirts its western exterior. Featuring flint from the Loir River valley, which dialogues with sculpted tuffeau stone in order to recreate the aesthetics of a knightly manor, the chateau’s exterior architecture invokes the medieval repertory, with the systematic use of the Gothic arch, lancets and stained glass in order to provide plenty of light and a feeling of verticality.
In addition, a pepperpot turret, supported by moulded corbels, abuts the dwelling and is topped with a slate candle-snuffer roof, whereas wide stone cross windows cadence the ground floor and geminated windows, topped with delicately sculpted Gothic arches, provide plenty of natural light for the upstairs level. Lastly, an openwork stone balustrade with an eye-catching quatrefoil motif creates a remarkable centrepiece for the chateau’s southern gable end.
