Within the grounds are various “kiosques” an original wind powered pump for water, numerous storage buildings along with hangars and caves. With over 36 acres of private enclosed grounds and the château set well within, this private location permits the owners to indulge and enjoy the wooded paths, paddocks alongside the small river, lawn areas, fountains and ponds on the property. There is a substantial pool and tennis court (due to their lack of usage by the current owners these do require some work before being able to enjoy them again).

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. Meadows beyond the outbuildings could accommodate horses. Woods border the property.

A keep and a watchtower, vestiges of 13th century fortifications, in the centre of Blois. The keep, currently standing between houses and gardens, can be reached via a small, raised, public esplanade. A private plot, spanning just under 0.02 ha, could be converted into a parking area. The watchtower, no doubt a former bastion given its square shape and its height of less than 12 metres, is set about a hundred metres away from the keep. It is partially embedded in a contemporary construction. The tower predominantly stands on the shoulder of the road.

An unfinished property in Chinon awaiting renovation, comprising a building, an annexe and a garden. Set high up above the banks of the Vienne river, the property is surrounded by greenery and sheltered from prying eyes. Well away from the main thoroughfares, an unassuming street leads to the entrance gate. The various buildings surround a courtyard, which provides space to park several vehicles. The main building faces due south. The annexe stands at right-angles and faces east. The main building is of tuffeau, a limestone emblematic of the region since Gallo-Roman times. The two-storey building is topped by a slate gable roof. Corner quoins, oeil-de-bœuf windows and tying crosses adorn the south facade. The openings are tall on the ground floor and lower on the upper storey. The windows are small-paned. Structural work has been carried out on the shell, but the interior still needs to be renovated. Finally, the grounds stretch out beyond the buildings, covering more than 1,800 m². The natural slope of the land is such that the ground floor of the building opens onto the southern grounds, while the upper floor is accessed from the north side.

A unique and surprising 19th-century edifice with outhouses and 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 tuffeau limestone house with secluded grounds, outbuildings and troglodyte cellars in the Touraine countryside. Set in approx. 1840 m² of enclosed grounds, the house faces the garden. The entrance from the road is through a low metal gate framed by pillars and rendered masonry walls, from where a driveway leads to the dwelling. The various buildings, most of which face south, are all attached and form a complex consisting of a workshop with a right-angled extension, a barn and the main house. The facades are of exposed tuffeau limestone, and the windows have dressed tuffeau surrounds. The roofs have flat tiles, with the exception of the barn, which is covered in slate. Finally, the front garden, entirely laid to grass and planted with trees and flowerbeds, stretches down to a series of troglodyte cellars that add to the uniqueness of the site.
