Offering great potential in an idyllic setting is this authentic 6 bedroom house with outbuildings, nestling in nearly 35 acres of glorious land with trees and fishing facilities on the river, located in a peaceful area near Indre et Loire.

This charming property is set in a secluded private area within the forest West of Tours, a short distance from a vibrant Loire Valley town offering a good selection of commerce, schools, medical facilities, etc. Tours central is an easy 20km away with its direct TGV links to Paris and regular international flights.

The property currently consists of two dwellings.

1/ The main farmhouse covering approximately 120m2 of living space over two floors. The ground floor provides a kitchen of 13m2 overlooking the river valley to the rear, a wc, boiler room, bedroom/TV room of 10m2 with views over the front lawn, well and beyond.

There is a dining room of circa 25m2 with fireplace and fitted wood burner, exposed ceiling beams and quarry tiled floor and patio doors to the garden, a living room of 21m2 with feature fireplace has access to the rear lean-to (a future possible conservatory perhaps).

Stairs hidden behind a door in the corner lead upstairs to 4 bedrooms of differing sizes (9m2, 10m2, 12m2 and 13m2) with views over the garden and one with a balcony.

2/ The "tower" (27m2) is lived in today and provides comfortable atypical accommodation. This property also includes various outbuildings:

The first is a converted "grain store" that today provides charming full time accommodation for the current owner. The open plan style living room with side kitchen of 27m2 has windows on all four sides and the private shower room and wc are located under the mezzanine sleeping area (11m2).

A further mezzanine is located higher into the roof space and provides extra sleeping space if required. A great use of a former agricultural building and ideal as perhaps a guest lodge.

To the side of the "tower" is the barn, formerly used for wine production and today used as a store/workshop and garage, a wooden construction measuring approximately 9m x 9m, a building measuring 19m x 4m used by the previous owner as a pig shed with numerous "sties" and a 10m2 office.

A hangar of 18.5m x 10m is used today for tractor and machinery storage but was once used as a "sheep shed" by the owner's parents.

A separate workshop of 29m2, an original chapel - in need of renovating/restoring and various other buildings in lesser condition are included.

The gated entrance leads you alongside the river winding its way through the forest bringing you to the clearing where the buildings are located. Just short of circa 85 acres of private land including: - 800m of riverside forest next to a fishable river, - 32.5 acres of woodland with a large quantity of oak trees - 54 acres of prairies (of differing sizes mainly located on the higher ground above the house) and wild. An abundance of wild animals in the area including wild boar, deer, pheasants, herons, etc. etc. A nature lovers paradise.

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.
