19th C Chateau for sale in the Loire valley.
This charming chateau, nestled in the tranquil countryside, offers approximately 750m2 of living space spread across three floors, with twin staircases and a lift ensuring easy circulation and practicality.
On the ground floor, you will find two formal entrance halls, each providing access to different areas of the property. The north entrance leads into a part-glazed corridor with tiled mosaic flooring and wood paneling, while the south entrance hall opens onto the terrace, offering views of the fountain and tree-lined entrance gate.
The modern fully equipped kitchen is situated in the former office and laundry area, with direct access to the breakfast terrace. As well as the modern kitchen the owners have kept the original kitchen as a secondary preparation room for banquet events also with access to the terrace
The dining hall boasts period parquet flooring and a marble fireplace
The two sitting rooms (one a former music room) interconnect, with herringbone parquet flooring, one with a marble fireplace and both having direct access to the south side terrace.
The third sitting room, again with herringbone parquet, features an impressive floor to ceiling fireplace and is double aspect with views to the south and west over the park.
The office/drawing room with marble fireplace, wood panelling and straight cut parquet is located opposite the lift in the short corridor leading to the “Bistro” (former “billiards” room), a double aspect room with patterned tiled floor currently used for light dining and cocktails by the owners and their guests.
The first floor originally comprised seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, with some rooms now serving as master suites, dressing rooms, or study areas.
The owner has lightly modified the usage of a couple of the rooms to suit their lifestyle with one of the bathrooms now being used as a library (the plumbing is still in place and accessible to revert back if required by the new owners)
The library, with its marble fireplace and raised reading area, adds a touch of elegance to the floor.
The second floor accessible by either staircase and the lift accommodates three individual bedrooms and two large suites, along with attic rooms ideal for storage.
Extensive outbuildings offer endless possibilities, including guest cottages/Gites, workshops, games rooms, and more.
The current owner has installed a sizeable mezzanine area above one of the garages housing a kitchenette, soft seating, dining area. Ideal for that “entertainment lifestyle” that this property lends itself so well to.
The grounds, spanning over 15 hectares (36 acres) feature wooded paths, paddocks, lawns, fountains, small river and ponds, providing ample space for relaxation and outdoor activities. While the pool and tennis court require some work, the original greenhouse and vegetable patch await restoration.
Overall, this property offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort, inviting the owners to indulge in a peaceful and luxurious lifestyle.
