Location
In the greater Centre-Val de Loire region, the property is located in the middle of a lively and well-known village in the Loir-et-Cher department, to the west of the Sologne natural region and within the local council community of Chambord. With all essential shops and services, the village also includes restaurants, schools and athletic facilities, while Blois is 20 kilometres away, just like the A10 motorway, which provides access to Paris in a little over two hours.
Description
Located in the middle of a village, but well enough set back in order to be immersed in total peace and quiet, the property, enclosed by old walls and hedges, is sheltered from view and completely invisible from the street. Turned towards its interior courtyard with an annexe farmhouse, followed by a garden, which descends towards the Beuvron, the famous river of Sologne, the house is accessible either directly from the street or via a pathway – with a deed of easement – through the next-door property, which leads to the interior courtyard. As for the main dwelling, with a floor area of approximately 170 m², it is built out of stone and covered with an old tile roof, while the courtyard, with nearly 400 m², includes several annexe buildings, such as a woodshed, storage rooms, a climate-controlled wine cellar, as well as a farmhouse with approximately 110 m² that faces a landscaped garden. It should be noted that all of the buildings are in excellent condition and still bear many of their ancient decorative details.
In addition, another building, located on the other side of the street and facing the main dwelling, is large enough to accommodate several vehicles, while an upstairs floor of approximately 60 m², awaits its reconversion.

The Main Dwelling
The ground floor
Accessible from the street, the front door opens onto a hallway at the end of which is a staircase. On the right is a cosy living room decorated with an ancient fireplace, exposed ceiling beams as well as a timber-framed and Sologne brick wall, while, to the left is a modern, fully equipped kitchen with a dining area large enough to host guests. Directly opposite, the hallway gives on to the interior courtyard, whereas further on and to the right, there is a bedroom – or study – a bathroom, a machine room and a storeroom.
The upstairs
A stone staircase, which was modernised by the addition of a metal bannister, leads to a large landing that provides access to three bedrooms, a wardrobe, a bathroom and a lavatory, the floors of which are all clad in hardwood.
The Farmhouse
Ideal for creating a shared workspace and ready to use immediately, this dual-aspect building, facing the garden and river, is located in the interior courtyard and bordered on one side by woods.
With its current layout, it includes an immense living room with a beautiful fireplace, a bedroom with a bathroom as well as a room, with a hammock, used for relaxation or fitness purposes.
The Garage
An annexe building, located opposite the main dwelling on the other side of the road, is large enough to accommodate two or three vehicles behind its electric garage doors, while, upstairs, accessible via a wooden staircase, a space of approximately 60 m², crowned with visible wooden rafters, is ready to convert.
Our opinion
Nestled within a region that draws many tourists, thanks to its proximity to the Loire chateaus, such as Chambord, Cheverny, Blois and Amboise, and located in one of the prettiest villages in the area, this charming property has been meticulously and carefully renovated in order to re-establish the premises’ architectural unity and highlight its many original decorative features.
Sheltered from view and exuding a bucolic and yet, refined ambiance, the property would be perfect as a primary residence or a holiday home for a family in search of space and privacy, but still within proximity to the capital, while the annexe farmhouse provides an independent area for working locally or remotely.
