Nestled in a stunning hilly landscape between the prestigious towns of Chinon and Saumur, this exceptional wine estate castle rises in the heart of the Loire Valley. Facing due south with a commanding view over the valley, the 22-hectare property is distinguished by its enclosure of tuffeau stone walls, lending the whole a charm that blends majesty and intimacy. The origins of the castle date back to the early Middle Ages, but it has undergone delicate restorations in the 19th and 20th centuries, providing approximately 1,500 m² of living space spread over three levels. Organized around a large central courtyard, it features remarkable architectural elements such as slate roofs, wooden frameworks, and stone facades, all in impeccable condition. One wing has been meticulously renovated with high-end materials, while another part is still awaiting development, leaving room for the future owners’ imagination. In the main wing, on the ground floor, there is an equipped kitchen, two dining rooms (one with a warm and cozy character), a music room, and two refined lounges dedicated to both conviviality and relaxation. The first floor offers four bedrooms with private bathrooms, each carefully decorated to combine elegance and comfort. The top floor is a true leisure space, including a game room, an office, an additional bedroom with an adjoining shower room, and a remarkable cinema room. The full basement includes, among other things, a room with a fireplace, a boiler room (with an oil-fired boiler supplying all buildings), as well as technical and storage areas. Underfloor heating is installed in the reception rooms and some adjacent spaces. The individual sanitation system will require reassessment. The outbuildings surrounding the main courtyard consist of two independent apartments, two large bright reception rooms of 200 m² and 100 m², and a fully equipped professional kitchen. These spaces have recently been used for prestigious events such as weddings, highlighting the unique character of the place. One of the estate’s greatest prides lies in its exceptional wine cellar. Designed to host exclusive tastings and exceptional evenings, this 350 m² octagonal cellar adorned with frescoes offers a unique atmosphere. It connects to an impressive underground network accessible by an elevator, housing a remarkable collection of oak barrels—symbols of a precious winemaking heritage. The whole represents without a doubt one of the region’s oenological jewels. The vineyard, which extends over 14 hectares since its planting in 1994, is classified AOC ”Saumur.” It consists of 30% Chenin Blanc and 70% Cabernet Franc, with the first harvests taking place in 1997. Currently entrusted to a winemaker under a short-term lease ending after the next harvest. An impressive stock could be included in the transaction. Fees are the responsibility of the seller.
