luxury real estate for sale Vernou-sur-Brenne, France (page 10)

A unique and surprising 19th-century edifice with almost two hectares of grounds, just outside Tours. The history of this property is closely tied to the history of the Mame family, which left its mark on the city of Tours for around two centuries. Alfred Mame, the grandson of a printing works founder, became the director of the famous printing works Mame in 1845. He had a modern vision for his firm, both in factory design and labour relations, with the creation of a special housing estate for his workers: the Cité Mame. This modern vision ensured his success. As a botany-lover, Alfred Mame bought this estate in 1841 and extended it considerably from 1857 onwards. At the time, French landscape gardening was changing radically. Mame entrusted the landscape gardener Eugène Bühler with the task of transforming the estate. Bühler was known for having designed the Parc du Thabor in the city of Rennes. The project involved creating greenhouses, building caretaker homes and outhouses and embellishing the grounds. The pavilions and stable were completed in 1869. From the road that runs alongside the grounds and woods, you can enter the property via two entrances. A wrought-iron gate with volutes leads onto a driveway that runs across the grounds. And a second gate, framed between two pillars of brick and tuffeau stone, leads into a parking area and to two outbuildings used as a garage, a storeroom and a workshop. A drive winds around the edifice to the central court and its lawn, beyond a few steps. A terrace beneath a glass canopy roof runs alongside the building up to its main entrance. The edifice is shaped like a horseshoe and is perfectly symmetrical. It faces west. It has a central pavilion framed between two curved wings, each with their own pavilion at their end. Its elevations are made of exposed red brick and tuffeau stone. Its rear elevations are rendered. The window and door surrounds are made of red brickwork that alternates with tuffeau stone. A tuffeau cornice runs above them. Finely crafted timber braces support and bring out the remarkable slate roof. Opposite the edifice, the grounds slope gently downwards among majestic trees and lush lawns.

A 16th-century farmhouse with five hectares of grounds, nestled in the Loire Valley between Amboise and Blois. From a local road, an earthen track snakes through fields over several hundred metres to the property. The complex of buildings stands on a grassy two-hectare plot that mainly faces southwards, looking down over the valley. Three main buildings adjoin each other in a row that runs from east to west: a barn, a 16th-century dwelling and a more recent extension. Around 20 metres west of this three-section edifice, a sheep shed adjoins an agricultural storage building. And even further westwards, there is a one-hectare plot of farmland. To the south, a wooded area covers around 1.5 hectares. It slopes down to the road below. The grounds also include a well and a small lake surrounded by groves on the edge of the neighbouring woods. The house has a 16th-century section, its main part, with a mullioned window that makes it recognisable. Two extensions have been added to this oldest part: one was added on the north side in the 19th century and another was added in the 20th century. The walls are coated with rendering, the window and door surrounds and quoins are made of limestone, and the doors and shutters are painted red. The roofs are covered with small traditional tiles, except for the northern roof slope of the 20th-century section, which is covered with synthetic slate tiles.

A 15th century house surrounded by its gardens, courtyard and meadow, in a village less than half an hour from Tours. The north gable of the house backs onto the protecting hillside, while the south side enjoys the sun from dawn to dusk. Situated in a prominent position in the heart of the village, the property affords stunning views. It is to the south and east that the view stretches furthest, across the gardens, the rooftops of the village and out over the valley. A courtyard and two lush gardens border the building on all three sides, creating a skilful visual and olfactory interplay. Vehicle access is via the street leading up to the vineyards and across the courtyard. This recently paved courtyard also provides access to the former stables and the three troglodyte caves. A second pedestrian entrance leads to one of the two gardens. Close to the house and on the hillside, a brick flight of steps leads up to a small terraced kitchen garden, from where a path of round wood slices climbs up to the meadow, which was once planted with vines.

A restored 18th-century mill, outbuildings and 2 5 ha of grounds 30 minutes from Tours in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Flanked by majestic tuffeau pillars, a tall wrought-iron gate opens onto a vast gravel courtyard. First the two adjoining mill buildings come into view, with their stone masonry facades, completely renovated and rendered. The four-pitched roofs of one of the two buildings are of slate, the other of flat tiles; the roof of the dwelling has shed dormers with triangular pediments. Built in the 18th century, the estate is depicted on the Cassini map. The two main sections of the dwelling have two storeys beneath the roofspace, the main elevations face south-east and all the openings have dressed tuffeau limestone surrounds. The single-storey outbuildings, with their slate and flat tile roofs, are set around a courtyard that, together with the mill, forms a U-shape. From the courtyard, there are several entrances to the house. The well-tended landscaped grounds all face the mill. A large paved terrace runs along the edge of the buildings, providing access to the garden and the lake it overlooks. A reach and its reservoir border the property to the west, before the water feeds a wheel and runs through the park.

A 12th century castle, remodelled in the 19th century, with 25 ha in the heart of the Loir Valley countryside, north of Tours. This estate is in a wild, wooded setting, with a view over the surrounding countryside. It is reached via two driveways, one reserved for visitors and the other for tradespeople. The first is a long avenue, with woods and meadows on either side. It is barred halfway along by gates, flanked by tall pillars, and is dotted with old streetlamps, lighting the way to the entrance courtyard in front of the castle, with the keep looking on. It precedes the old chapel, the top section of which is now converted into a bedroom, followed by a house that could be used as a caretaker’s cottage and, lastly, the castle. Driveways lead from the entrance courtyard to the rear where there are carparks and meadows, delimited by hedges. A pathway gives access to the south-facing, swimming pool area, surrounded by safety fencing and partially enclosed by old walls. A driveway goes down on the west side to the outbuildings, comprising an annexe house and its small outbuildings, a 350 m² building, with an area given over to physical well-being on the ground floor, a barn and its workshop, a building housing five horse loose boxes and a tack room, and another building that could take cars, although it is currently fitted with six horse loose boxes.

A keep and a watchtower, vestiges of 13th century fortifications, in the centre of Blois.
