Tucked away in a lush green valley, in the Berry countryside so dear to George Sand, lies a place seemingly untouched by time: a 12th-century former Cistercian abbey, listed as a Historic Monument, whose buildings and surviving remains tell the story of nearly nine centuries of history. Set within an unspoilt natural environment and crossed by a small river, the property extends over more than 4 hectares of parkland, meadows and gardens, partly enclosed by old stone walls. From the moment one arrives, its charm is undeniable: ancient stonework, traditional roofs, century-old trees, courtyards and gardens come together to create a setting of remarkable authenticity. The former Prior’s House forms the main residence. It comprises eight rooms, including five bedrooms, and retains precious traces of its past: the former cloister gallery, wall paintings, arrow slits and historic architectural features. These details give the property that rare and distinctive atmosphere found only in houses deeply rooted in history. Nearby, the former monks’ refectory, measuring approximately 130 sqm, has been restored and converted into a guest house. A former henhouse, now transformed into a studio, together with several outbuildings barns, garage, cellar and boiler room complete the estate. The property has already benefited from significant restoration work, but now awaits a new owner to continue and complete its restoration. It will appeal to someone with a genuine appreciation for architectural heritage, whose ambition is not to transform the property, but rather to reveal its full potential while preserving its unique identity. For this former abbey is far more than simply a property. It is a place with a soul, a history and a presence of its own a heritage to live in, preserve and pass on to future generations. Located just 10 minutes from a town offering all amenities, and along the historic Way of Saint James to Santiago de Compostela, this is a rare opportunity for those with a passion for historic architecture, ancient stone and properties steeped in history.

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.
