Charming 13 bedroom Loire chateau set in a 15 acre estate in a peaceful rural location on the outskirts of a vibrant village with amenities and very well placed for making the most of all the Loire Valley has to offer.

The spacious 1,000m2 property is ideal as a residence for entertaining or simply to enjoy and relax in the park or by the pond. A great location from which to explore the Loire Valley, placed within the triangle of Tours, Angers and Le Mans with easy access to all three popular cities and their high speed train links to Paris and beyond. The village comes with a good selection of shops, school, college, weekly market, restaurants, chemist and more.

The chateau consists of three sides around an internal courtyard with gated access to the entrance drive.
The main section:
Steps from the courtyard up to the terrace bring us to the south facing triangular capped central facade. The front door leads into the main hallway, 32m2 of parquet flooring with half wood panelling adorn this front-to-back through room. To the rear is the main of four staircases and doors to the rear gardens.
In the middle there are double doors on both sides. To the right the large reception room, 60m2, double aspect with herring bone parquet flooring, original marble fireplace and 3.4m high ceiling. To one corner a cosy tower room with hexagonal parquet overlooks the gardens. The veranda provides the link to the east wing.
To the left of the entrance hall is a 26m2 living room also with marble fireplace and herring bone parquet. This leads on to the former billiard room of 53m2, an impressive ornate beamed ceiling, sculptured wooden and marble fireplace and continued herring bone parquet with direct access to the south terrace.
Passing the 2nd staircase in the second tower room we arrive in the "hunting room"; 31m2 with quarry tiled floor and rustic period fireplace. The original service kitchen with stone sink and hand pump is off from this room.
The "rural theme" is continued into a smaller "hunting room" of 24m2 with stairs to one of the underground basements. This room was probably used as an extension to the kitchen originally.
Another hall with stairs no.3 provides the link here to the upper floor and the West wing.

The first floor in this part is home to 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (one with a secret passage to a bedroom) all enjoying views over the courtyard to the south. Sizes range from 13m2 up to 30m2 with most over 22m2 and ceiling heights of 3.2m.

The second floor in this section provides another 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Originally the domestic staff's lodgings.

The East wing ground floor, with access via the main building veranda, has also independent access. Here there is a more modern kitchen of 23m2 with adapted period oven, a rear kitchen with original bread oven and food store room.
The living room/diner with harlequin tiled floor measures approximately 48m2 and is double aspect. In the kitchen and living room here there is underfloor heating.
The internal hallway and staircase No.4 with wc and boiler room link back to the main part of the building.

The first floor is also connected internally to the main section but can be independent if required, offering; games room, kitchen (work in progress), bedroom, 2nd bedroom/living room and bathroom.

At the end of the East wing is a self-contained red brick construction "guardian's" house; over two floors with 2/3 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living room.

The West wing of the chateau accommodates the former stables (5 boxes and a stallion pen) and original tack room with large useable attic room above.
Various storeroom and workshops.
Covered "through" chariot access, a garage of 51m2 and 65m2 former orangerie/barn with 4.6m2 high ceiling.
At the end of this wing is the original aviary.

To the south is the tree lined driveway leading to the lane, the courtyard is enclosed and to the rear the private park extends over 14.82 acres (6 ha) and includes period mature specimen trees, ornamental bushes and a large pond with island.
The tennis court requires some TLC before the next match.
