4925: 15th-, 16th- and 17th-century château – potential for tourism and events

On the edge of a popular Loire Valley village, a short distance from several of the world-famous tourist chateaux (Chambord, Chaumont Amboise and Chenonceaux), this charming property, steeped in history, has seen many changes over the last 500 years of its existence.

Located on the cycle routes:  “Châteaux à vélo” and “La Loire à vélo” it is ideally placed and configured for business exploitation in this area where demand is high and current supply limited.

An ideal opportunity to enhance and improve on the work already carried out by the current owners creating possibly a large hotel complex if desired.

Roughly 1000sqm of living space over its three floors.

The formal entrance hall has plenty of natural light and is large and welcoming providing natural distribution to the owners private apartment (lounge, small kitchen, bedroom and bathroom) along with the breakfast hall and kitchen on the ground floor.

The 17th century stone and iron staircase leads to the upper floors.

The first floor is double depth and home to the library and music room, the reception hall of 150sqm (140 person seated capacity) with views over the front park.

Cloakroom facilities (Male, female and wheelchair access) and former directors apartment including office space, bathroom, etc.

Central corridor leading to direct upper lawn access along with a service kitchen.

The former corridor leading to the chapel and other reception rooms has been closed at present but could be reopened if the new owners wished to incorporate these areas via the existing first floor access.

The second floor houses the finished guest bedrooms, two suites and 3 bedrooms with each one its bathroom along with a unique “reverse boat hull” reception room by the renaissance architect Philibert Delorme from the 16th century and various other rooms awaiting renovation.

Outbuildings :

Over 3000sqm of useable space in the large number of outbuildings, some of which have been sympathetically improved to provide reception halls (250 person seated) and accommodation but there remains more volumes left to be exploited….

The possibility to create a 50 plus bedroom hotel complex would compliment the existing reception halls comfortably.

The owners’ offices and staff accommodation are independent from the chateau and permits a calm work environment.

Today the property boasts 3 guests lodges in addition to the rooms within the chateau itself.

Each lodge is self-contained and offers between 4 and 12 bedrooms.

The remaining outbuildings have over 25 existing bedrooms, various classrooms, office space, etc.

etc.

An impressive vaulted underground room, renamed the “Crypt”, was refurbished in the 1930s when the property was used as a holiday camp.

The estate covers over 16 hectares (40 acres) and is enclosed and private.

The current formal entrance is gated and offers shaded parking within the courtyard surrounded by the majority of the outbuildings..

The park itself combines formal lawns with several hundred-year-old specimen trees, a large vegetable garden covering roughly 1 hectare (2.5 acres) still partially used today.

The rest of the estate is woodland with numerous paths and tracks within.

There is ample space to add pools, tennis courts, etc.

etc.

if required.

The owner tells us that there are 6 separate entrances into the estate and the possibility to recreate the bridged main entrance in front of the chateau remains.
