Its elegant rooms benefit from ceiling heights of up to 3.40 metres on the ground floor. The living room, dining room and kitchen are spacious while retaining a warm atmosphere. Traditional French-beamed ceilings, tuffeau stone fireplaces, wood panelling and terracotta floors blend naturally with the contemporary renovation. The recent kitchen combines fine materials with Siemens appliances. Upstairs, the slate, brick and tuffeau stone staircase leads to three large bedrooms, a library that could serve as a fourth bedroom, and two polished-concrete bathrooms. Facing the manor, the fully renovated guest house forms a genuine second residence. It includes a spacious reception room with polished-concrete flooring and a Smeg-equipped kitchen, while the upper floor offers two large en-suite bedrooms, allowing family and guests to stay in complete independence. The grounds include a formal French garden, mature trees, orchards, meadowland, a pond and a 4 × 9 metre swimming pool.

An18th-century manor house, on a former wine-growing estate of 12 hectares, with wine warehouses, outbuildings, grounds, a pond and woods, 60 kilometres from Tours. A small country road skirts the property’s tall stone walls, followed by its initial outbuildings before reaching its gate, which faces a wide tree-lined lane that extends between fields and farm tracks. At the property’s gate, a stone wall opens onto a wide courtyard, planted in the middle with two impressive Chinese mulberry trees, while, the manor, visible in the background, is flanked by its outbuildings on either side. Dating from the 18th century, the property was originally a wine-growing estate, while the two-storey manor, built in the Directoire style out of local stone, embodies traditional architecture, specific to the region. With an inhabitable floor area of approximately 435 m², the dwelling consists of a long central structure – the main façade of which is cadenced by doors and small-paned windows – flanked on either side by two adjacent lower extensions and topped with a slate roof, which is, in turn, crowned with zinc ornamental décor and finials. As for the back of the house, although different from the front, it still combines the elegance of the dwelling's symmetrical rectilinear windows and shed dormers with, in the middle, a unique triangular pediment, which adds a touch or originality to the whole. In addition, vaulted cellars extend under the entire building, while, to one side, a completely independent five-room caretaker’s cottage abuts a large courtyard, former stables and agricultural storage buildings, which are also accessible from the small country road via a second gate, providing an independent and more inconspicuous entrance. Moreover, the property also includes, on the other side of the front courtyard, another outbuilding, which is currently used as a holiday cottage with a capacity of 6 to 8 people. With a grass-covered, shady interior courtyard, this building has its own private entrance via a separate gate and faces a former wine warehouse, today reconverted into a reception hall with hardwood floors.
