Centre, Indre-et-Loire, Loches, France

Beautifully refurbished 5 bedroom, 19th Century French Chateau with outbuildings, nestling in 75.5 acres of glorious land with gardens, pool, woodland and lake, enjoying far reaching countryside views from its peaceful location near Loches.

This beautiful property has been found as far back in the archives as the 17th century. The estate was first registered in 1181 and then in 1239 it appears in texts, and it was once owned by the Abbey of Baugerais. The chateau was officially named as it is today in the 17th century.

During the 19th century, the original building was added to, and this is what can be seen today. It included a lime kiln in 1880, which fell into disrepair around 1926.

The current owners purchased it in 2005 when the property was dilapidated but habitable. It had not been touched in excess of forty years, although the gardens and parks were in good condition, similar to today.

The owners purchased the chateau with a view to fully refurbishing the property, as well as the outbuildings, in order to establish a family business. It was initially planned to host corporate events, weddings and a music recording studio for established record labels to hire as a location for bands to stay, develop, and record music for new albums. The refurbishment has just been completed to the Chateau, although the plan for the outbuildings did not happen due to family health issues.

The works undertaken to the Chateau have been elaborate, with all aspects having been rebuilt or updated. A detailed list and additional photos/information are available upon request.
