This magnificent manor house property is entered through impressive iron gates which lead into a beautifully landscaped courtyard laid out in the style of a French formal garden, or 'jardin a la francaise', all framed by ancient stone buildings arranged in a graceful U-shape.
The 14 bedroom property still retains its two original wings and vaulted cellars. It is currently run as a successful gite and bed and breakfast (a future owner would need to obtain the necessary permission and appropriate business registration).
Enclosed entirely by stone walls, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting -quiet and private, yet not isolated.
The left wing is dedicated entirely to guest accommodation with two self-contained gites (60 m2 and 83 m2), and also includes two additional B&B suites.
The right wing houses a former barn which has been converted into a 50 m2 multi-purpose event space with WC, ideal for events or workshops.
It also contains two spacious B&B suites (35 m2 and 47 m2, each with a private bathroom) and a stunning ancient "orangerie", currently used as a music studio, which offers views across the swimming pool and rear garden.
The manor house offers a wealth of possibilities, either as a very comfortable family residence or as additional guest accommodation.
Set within over an acre of grounds, the rear garden is a peaceful haven, beautifully landscaped with mature planting and centred around a large heated swimming pool.
This remarkable property enjoys a prime location, about an hour from Tours, Poitiers, and Angers - all offering airports and TGV connections to Paris and beyond.
Ideally situated, it is perfectly suited to attract guests in search of tranquility, excellent local wines, picturesque cycling routes, and the relaxed rhythm of life in the Touraine countryside.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
