Close to La Chartre-sur-le-Loir, in a dominant position, a classified neo-Gothic castle with nearly 5 hectares of park, meadows, and woods. At the edge of the Bercé state forest and at the exit of a picturesque village with shops, the estate is set back and not overlooked, enclosed by old walls with gates or hedges. The property is organized around its castle, set on the slope of a hill, at the center of a park that mixes meadows, AOC lands, and woods. Built between 1908 and 1913 and classified MH since 1984, the residence is emblematic of the flamboyant neo-Gothic style, which was once very popular among the aristocracy and the upper bourgeoisie. With an area of approximately 275 m², it has four levels including a ground floor and an attic. The slate roofs are punctuated by numerous dormer windows. The cornices, corner chains, dormer windows, and window frames are made of tuffeau. To the east and west, stone staircases with railings lead to an entrance hall and a kitchen. The western facade is bordered by a terrace overlooking the garden. On the facades of the building, flint from the Loir valley interacts with sculpted tuffeau to recreate the aesthetic of a chivalric manor. The architecture evokes the medieval repertoire, with systematic use of the pointed arch, lancets, and stained glass, focusing on a search for light and verticality of lines. A pepperpot turret, suspended on molded corbels, flanks the residence, topped with a slate extinguishing cap. Wide stone mullioned windows punctuate the ground floor, while on the first floor, paired windows are set under their delicately sculpted pointed arches. A richly pierced stone balustrade with quatrefoils overlooks the south gable.This description has been automatically translated from French.

To the north of Tours, on more than 6 hectares of meadows and woods, an elegant 18th-century Loire property has been restored.

Built on a rectangular plan, with partly glazed pavilions reconstructed at its ends, the main building is raised over two levels beneath a fine slate roof, pierced with pedimented dormers. The main façade, facing the setting sun, reflects the sober classicism of the 18th century and more opulent alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. The whole is rhythmically punctuated by windows with dressed stone frames, topped with discreet cornices. The interior features an approximate living space of 320 m². The outbuildings are arranged around a courtyard of honor. At the back, the house conceals a garden enclosed by plant hedges, sheltered from view. Successive terraces overlook the landscape, which consists of a large meadow and a wooded slope. Behind the woods, on a plateau, lie two meadows and a private landing strip for ultralight aircraft.

A renovated 15th-century manor, with an outbuilding and 1.5-hectare grounds, located near the birthplace of Ronsard in the Loir River Valley. Dating from the Renaissance, the property, neither a national or regional historical monument, is currently located in a protected area and originally formed a hamlet with the surrounding enclosed properties. From a small country lane, a drive leads to one of the property’s five separate entrances. Once past the main entrance, there is a small pavilion, which was converted into a guesthouse, followed by the two-storey, rectangular manor house. Originally from the 15th century, its central building is topped with a local tile gable roof and punctuated by tall cross-windows. Flanked on one side by a stairway tower with a modillion frieze and a slate roof, on the manor’s other gable end, stands a more modest one-storey building topped with an ancient tile roof. With plaster-coated walls, the manor is decorated with an ashlar stone cornice under the eaves as well as tuffeau stone window and door surrounds. In addition, the frames for the house’s single- or double-glazed cross-windows have all been replaced and are safeguarded by interior shutters. Behind the house, 14 cellars have been hollowed out of the hillside, some of which once contained mushroom beds of varying depths. According to local legend, they also once communicated with the nearby Possonnière manor house where Pierre de Ronsard was born. Lastly, the property’s grounds also include a formal garden, an Italian-inspired garden, a landscaped garden, pinewoods, a dry riverbed and a pasture.

In addition to this building there are approximately 14 separate “wine caves”. Originally used for the excavation of the tuffeau stone used to build the manor and surrounding farms, these caves then became used for a number of practical purposes ranging from cooking (large fireplaces with bread ovens), storage areas, animal shelters and of course wine cellars. Today one is converted to house the gas central heating boiler, others for storage, etc. With over 1.5 hectare (3.75 acres) of private gardens and park the current owner’s love for the outside space has created various different themes including formal gardens in front of the manor with topiary bushes and specimen trees leading the eye to explore, a stepped garden with dry river leads up a grassed pasture lined by mature pine trees. Their landscaping influences are French, English and Italian. Inside of the gated entrance is a large courtyard providing parking. Cabinet LE NAIL – Touraine - Loire Valley – M.

In the heart of the popular touristic village of Trôo on the banks of the Loir river this home offers comfortable accommodation for a family and guests. The village has 3 restaurants and a short drive (or cycle ride) sees you in the local market town of Montoire sur Loir, 20 mins drive into Vendome or 40mins into Tours both with their TGV links to Paris and beyond. Its layout, made up of tiered terraces, caves, paths and staircases, is highly unusual. With no real streets or center, it's curiosity that makes you want to explore it further. The most common interpretation of its name is “trou”, an allusion to the caves that hollow out the hillside. Trôo would be the old English or Angevin spelling. Its troglodytic dwellings give an idea of how people lived in the past, and the underground network of caves and galleries is a reminder that turbulent periods in our history led people to take refuge here Trôo's history swings between glory days and decline: a privileged geographical location, a territory coveted by the kingdoms of England and France, a resentful Henry IV, a wealthy town of 5,000 souls, religious links, a population involved in the political process... The peaceful 21st century has seen the emergence of a village where life is good, appreciated by tourists, second homes and residents alike.
