manor with terrace for sale Ange, France

A 17th-century manor, with outbuildings and 2.5-hectare grounds, perched up on a hill on the outskirts of Amboise. The manor and its grounds, buttressed by strong retaining walls and overlooking the Loire Valley, are accessible by vehicle via an immense gate, which opens on to a front courtyard. Built in the 17th century and modified in the 19th, the L-shaped manor, located in the northwest corner, features a slightly offset pavilion on each end, as well as three storeys topped with a floor under the eaves, which is, in turn, bathed in light thanks to its gabled dormers. With plaster-coated exteriors bookended with stone quoins, the manor is cadenced by wide windows safeguarded by louvred shutters as well as several bull’s-eye windows, whereas, on the garden side, solid shutters or grills provide protection for the dwelling’s windows. Featuring a fibre-cement roof over the central wing and slate versions over the lateral pavilions, directly opposite the manor, a group of outbuildings abut the rocky hillside, after which the estate was named, while a formal garden acts as a link between the patio and an ornamental pavilion. As for the grounds, with a wooded area overlooking a pasture, they exude a bucolic and peaceful ambiance.
