An impeccably restored home from the 14th and 15th centuries with terraced gardens and a vineyard in the heart of the Loire Valley.
Only 25 minutes from the Loire itself and its charming villages, antique markets, restaurants, cafes, and magnificent chateaux.
Although the manor dates back to the middle ages, the cellars have traces of civilization dating to before 1200.
The ground floor has a guest bedroom and reception rooms with large windows providing views of the gardens in every direction. The kitchen, with its La Cornue stove and huge La Cornue island is perfect for entertaining.
The original spiral stone staircases are three large bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each of these rooms has architectural elements such as double-mullioned windows or fireplaces. Up the spiral stairs again is the 2nd-floor loft, under the cathedral-like array of roof beams, which could easily become two more ensuite bedrooms.
In the park are two buildings, a loggia, and an Orangery. The loggia has two levels: a downstairs living area and an upstairs bedroom, connected by a magnificent c17th staircase.
The Orangery, in the gardens, is a space that has been beautifully restored and could be used in a multitude of ways, such as an entertaining space, an artist’s studio, a games room or gym or a guest house.
Modern comforts such as Bang and Olufsen sound system, i-lighting, sophisticated and efficient central heating and a spa bath have been installed.
The top garden is the swimming pool, surrounded by a lush lawn. Through a gate is the 2 hectares of up to 50-year-old Chenin blanc vines, classified Saumur AOC “appellation control”. This vineyard is rare and highly envied by the local winemakers. The vineyard is managed by a town winemaker and the owners enjoy drinking their own cuvées, without the hassle of running the vineyard themselves.
The remaining garden, stretching around the manor is terraced ‘a la Française’, with formal box-lined parterres, roses, lime trees and very precious and rare mature trees.
Only one hour from the airport in Tours, 1 1/2 hours from Paris by train.
