Two dwellings, an outbuilding and a swimming pool, on 26-ha grounds, nestled within rolling countryside, 2 hours from Paris, near La Charité-sur-Loire.
The property, located about ten minutes from a town with shops, amenities and administrative services, is also a ten-minute car ride from an SNCF train station, which provides regular service to the Paris-Bercy train station, while, via the A71 motorway, the capital can be reached in two hours.
Set back from the road, a gate provides access to the property via a drive shaded by dense foliage, which leads to the estate's various buildings, while the main dwelling, rectangular in shape, is topped with a tile gable roof, which is, in turn, punctuated by shed dormer windows.
Placed perpendicular to the first, the second dwelling has been meticulously restored with ancient materials, whereas both buildings, which enjoy views of the surrounding grounds and meadow, extended by a stream below, have not only preserved their authenticity, but have been progressively upgraded with modern standards of comfort.
