Description

A45164RPD37 - A 16th-century building in the heart of Azay-le-Rideau

Leggett Immobilier is delighted to present a rare investment opportunity in the heart of Azay-le-Rideau: a 16th-century dressed-stone building, fully let, just a few minutes’ walk from the famous Renaissance château.

A heritage investment in a highly sought-after town
Azay-le-Rideau is one of the highlights of the Loire Valley, and its château welcomed over 320,000 visitors in 2025. Rental demand is steady all year round and tourist footfall is strong. The building stands in the historic centre, 50 m from shops and services and a 15-minute walk from the railway station on the Tours–Chinon line. Tours is around 30 minutes away by car, and Paris about 1 hour by TGV from Saint-Pierre-des-Corps.

The property
The building offers approximately 209 m² of living space over three floors. It comprises four independent, dual-aspect flats, a private inner courtyard and a fine vaulted cellar. The flats are in good condition, with double glazing, and the roof is insulated on the top floor.

Ground floor left: 58 m², EPC D, GHG B
Ground floor, door 2: 45 m², EPC D, GHG B
First floor left: 56 m², EPC C, GHG A
Second floor: 50 m², EPC D, GHG B

Key figures

Current rental income: €2,339 per month, i.e. €28,068 per year excluding charges
Gross yield: around 7% on the asking price
Price per m² of living space: around €1,900
For guidance, current rents exceed the monthly mortgage repayment estimated on our website.

Energy performance with no constraints
All four energy certificates (DPE) were carried out in 2025 and 2026 and remain valid until 2035-2036. Ratings range from C to D, with greenhouse gas ratings of A to B. No unit is affected by the letting bans under France’s Climate and Resilience Act: no energy works are required, and rents can be reviewed as normal. Each flat has electric heating and hot water.

Several investment strategies

Turnkey buy-to-let: immediate income, tenants in place and no works to plan.
Furnished or holiday letting: Azay-le-Rideau’s tourist appeal lends itself to it, with a gradual conversion as units become vacant, subject to local regulations.
A home with an income: live in one flat while the other three finance the building. In the longer term, it could be reunited into a characterful family home as the current leases come to an end.

A full investor pack (detailed tenancy schedule, leases and diagnostic reports) is available on request. Viewings are by appointment, with due respect for the sitting tenants.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
