Ref.4254: Beautiful estate for sale with castle and gîtes in Touraine.
Built in the south of Touraine, this magnificent castle is surrounded by an estate of 29 hectares. It benefits from a private location and excellent motorway service to Paris and beyond. The city of Tours can be reached within an hour's drive and local amenities are easily accessible.
This castle dates from the end of the 19th century, built on the foundations of a manor dating from the 14th century. It consists of a central building of three floors, flanked by two large common buildings.
On the ground floor: With a ceiling height of more than 3 meters, the ground floor includes an entrance hall with an oak staircase, an office/library, three spacious reception rooms and a professional kitchen, as well as access to an independent two-story apartment.
On the first floor: 8 bedrooms ranging from 11m² to 48m² with 6 bathrooms/showers, 2 toilets and a small kitchen.
On the second floor: studio at one end and 6 bedrooms along the corridor with 6 bathrooms/showers and a further 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the upper floor of the tower.
Living area of approximately: 930m²
The two 2-storey outbuildings located opposite the castle have been renovated and modernized and today offer:
in building 1: a computer/work room, a storage room, a classroom on the ground floor, changing rooms and toilets, a consecrated chapel, a seminar room on the 1st floor.
Building 2: 3 showers and 3 toilets, classroom with 100 seats and seminar room on the 1st floor.
Other outbuildings housing laundry, archives, boiler room, wood chip warehouse, tractor shed, workshop, covered parking, circular dovecote to the south of the castle, to the north, the “Maison de l’étang” with a licensed bar and lounges and accommodation above, as well as a separate meeting room in another building.
Authorization has been granted for the creation of a larger chapel-type building (150m²) on the site and it is still possible to create this building.
The estate covers a total area of 29.75 hectares and is bordered on all sides by country lanes and roads.
Around half of the land is beautiful woodland, with walks and paths within and providing the wood needed to heat the property for many years to come. The pond, with an area of approximately 1.2 hectares, is located behind the “lake house” (north of the castle) and has an island where three swans were living on the day of my visit.
The 8x4m swimming pool is located at the rear of the castle, a few steps from the latter's terrace. The formal entrance drive is fenced and the driveway leading to the castle passes through the grounds with lawns on either side and ornamental trees and ends in front of the main castle building. There is a separate 'deliveries' entrance to the rear of the outbuildings which leads to a gravelled parking area in front of the garages and ample parking on site.
