A small country road runs alongside the property wall to a gate enhanced by two pillars supporting an imposing, sober iron gate. Once past the entrance, two houses appear on either side, each with its own private outdoor space, and further on, there are outbuildings. The manor house is revealed next, followed by the grounds. The main building dates back to the last years of the 18th century, the Directoire period. A wing and stairway tower were added at the beginning of the 20th century copying the original style. A bossed arch on the facade highlights the entrance, which is topped by a balcony. Pedimented dormer windows have been added to the concave Mansard roof on the manor house. The wing has a four-sided slate roof. Render has been applied to all of the facades and the corner ties and window frames are ashlar. Under the 20th century wing, there is a cellar which is accessible from the outside. The two guest houses, situated at the entrance to the estate, one with a small private courtyard and the other with a garden area, are the same style, with stone dressings and canal tile roofs.

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. However, the region was long considered to be part of Touraine, and the surrounding countryside, with its beautiful rolling hills, bears more resemblance to the Loire Valley than to the nearby Brenne and its ponds.

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

A pretty country road leads to the property and, passing through the gate, you enter the vast courtyard framed by the dwelling and its outbuildings. The dwelling, with 183 sqm of living space, comprises three buildings that form a whole: the stairway tower with its pyramid-shaped roof, the 17th century pavilion, built over two stories under a high hipped roof covered in flat tiles, and finally the 18th century extension, built over a single storey with attic space, which is illuminated to the east by a gabled dormer with a triangular pediment. The front and rear facades traditionally face east and west. The entrance door, topped by a knocker, is under an arch that fills in an older, recessed structure. On the ground floor, you pass through a short entrance hall into the large living room with its kitchen and dining area, and its lounge arranged around a vast 16th-century fireplace housing the wood-burning stove, the residence's main source of heating. To the left is a toilet, at the far end is access to the stairway tower and the comfortable terrace, to the right is access to the gravel cellar via a concealed door and finally, a corridor leads to the large bedroom.

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.

In the Berry countryside, a 16th-century manor surrounded by moats and its 22-hectare estate. From a small country road, a private driveway leads to the property, which is set away from any immediate neighbors. The house gradually reveals itself amidst meadows and ancient trees, including a towering hundred-year-old cedar. Dated from the 16th century and rising two levels topped with attics, the manor is built of coated masonry, reinforced at the corners and around the openings by frames made of barite stone, extracted from nearby quarries. The building is flanked by two towers. The entire structure is crowned with a steep roof covered with flat tiles for the main house and slate for the four-sided tower. The other tower, circular, rises two levels and is topped with a conical slate roof. Many openings are protected by painted wooden shutters. To the south and west of the manor, four outbuildings with simple volumes and two-pitched tile roofs recall the estate's former agricultural vocation. Two of them are converted into housing and a guesthouse, while the other two are used as storage or workshops. The entire manor is surrounded by moats, some of which still hold water. The estate covers approximately 22 hectares in one piece, consisting mainly of meadows, a nearly 6-hectare wood, and a pond.This description has been automatically translated from French.

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.AI-enhanced photography no alteration to the property’s features
