Ref.4619 : Character dwelling and its gîte, between Touraine and Berry This beautiful dwelling with its vast outbuildings is situated in the heart of the Brenne region in Berry.

Just 3 kilometres away, Azay-le-Ferron and its historic château offer all the essential services and amenities.

Continuing on, you enter a majestic suite with a sitting room adorned with an imposing Gothic fireplace and a bedroom. Finally, two steps lead up to the attic of the 17th-century building, the third bedroom on this level.
