Description

Charming and beautifully renovated Nineteenth Century chateau with guest lodge, set in an estate of 105 acres right in the heart of the Loire valley between Blois and Amboise with excellent access to local amenities and a train link to Paris (1h10).

This impressive 620m2 property has been tastefully renovated and is in an ideal location offering rural peace and quiet whilst retaining easy communication links to the larger cities and Paris.

Dating back to the 19th century, this property has seen several modifications over its lifetime including the doubling of its ground and first floor areas with a period extension to the rear.

The current owners have in turn recently completed a total renovation and today it offers comfortable accommodation for family and guests with generous reception rooms, 10 bedrooms and a guest lodge.

Steps from the gravelled front drive and parking area leads into the entrance hall, a tiled reception area of 27m2 with symmetrical doors left and right and in front to the stairs and inner hall. To the right is the first reception room of 38m2 with herring bone parquet flooring, original marble fireplace and views over the front lawns. Glazed doors lead into the second part of this reception room (27m2), currently used as an office with straight cut parquet flooring, a brick wood burner and glazed doors leading out to the rear of the chateau.

A lobby area provides access to a double bedroom 17m2), shower room and wc, dressing room and second double bedroom (19m2) all with parquet flooring except the shower room.

The second bedroom reconnects through a side door into the living area. Across the hallway, through either of the double pairs of doors, lead into the second living room (37m2) with painted half panelling on the walls and an ornate green tiled fireplace. Doors from this room lead into the dining hall (30m2), also with half panelling, a double aspect room with original marble fireplace that opens through to the kitchen at the rear of this chateau.

A well equipped 28m2m family room with central island and original fireplace (used today for indoor barbecues). The laundry room next to the kitchen measures approximately 14m2.

Completing the ground floor is a wc and then the inner hall with stairs to the upper floors and down to the garden level.

The original stairs have been cleaned and have a gentle rise to the upper floors.

First floor: A central corridor separates the front bedrooms from those to the rear. This floor accommodates 7 double bedrooms all with parquet flooring, ranging from 12m2 to 38m2. 3 shower rooms (2 private and 1 shared) and 1 bathroom.

The Master suite enjoys a large bedroom, dressing room and private bathroom. Several bedrooms interconnect and some have short balconies overlooking the lawn and lakes to the front, with the rear bedrooms having views over the "summer area" and woodland beyond.

The upper floor has also been converted and is split into 2 large rooms of 39m2 and 42m2 (games room,TV rooms, workspace, etc) with a wc, and a separate guest suite with seating area, bedroom (16m2) with private shower room and wc.

The garden floor with internal access via the inner hall covers the whole surface area of the chateau and is divided into a number of useful rooms: boiler room, wine cave, storage, wood store, workshop, etc.

The former guardian's house (approximately 80m2) has also been modernised and renovated and today offers: open plan living room with wood burner and kitchen area, wc, and upstairs 2 (or 3) bedrooms and a shower room.

There are roughly 500m2 of a variety of further outbuildings including; a ground floor apartment (to be finished), 3 upstairs apartments (requiring work), several garages and storage barns.

The estate covers 105 acres of private land with a rare and very impressive, mature redwood entrance alley that hides the chateau and buildings. The alley continues past the main lake though to the parkland of about 12 acres and splits either to the outbuildings or up to the main chateau passing the other two ponds on its way.

Next to the outbuildings is a water reservoir for watering the neighbouring vegetable garden and fruit trees.

To the rear of the chateau is the "summer area" with covered kitchen and dining, Jacuzzi and soft seating and a boules pitch.

The lawn at the front runs down to the lake with views towards the woodland beyond.

The rest of the estate 37 hectares (92 acres) is woodland (oaks, chestnuts, birch, hornbeam, with paths throughout and has a planting/felling schedule (Plan Simple Gestion) which has tax advantages to the owner not to mention the abundant wildlife.
