Historic Château with Swimming Pool and Tennis Court in Tours

About the Property

A historic château made of tuffeau stone, dating back to 1720, set within approximately 4.5 hectares of grounds, located just a few minutes from the city of Tours in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The property features a swimming pool, a tennis court, and various outbuildings, offering a serene retreat in a picturesque setting. The château, originally referenced in the 15th century, has undergone significant restoration following severe damage during the Second World War. Its current form showcases a central main section with three levels, crowned by a hipped slate roof adorned with a prominent triangular pediment featuring a bull's-eye window. The south-facing façade is complemented by a broad terrace with finely crafted stone balusters, providing an elegant outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. The east wing, constructed of rubble stone and coated with rendering, features a mansard slate roof and dormers that harmonize with the main section. The west wing, a single-storey structure of tuffeau stone, is punctuated by wooden double doors and offers additional functional space. The inner courtyard, framed by the wings, leads to a terraced garden that extends towards two small towers: a chapel and a former dovecote. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, dotted with diverse trees and paths that guide residents to the swimming pool and outhouses on one side, and to the tennis court and a charming log cabin on the other. Unique treehouses nestled among the trees add a whimsical touch to the property.
