Just a few minutes from Tours, hidden from view, lies an exceptional medieval priory spanning nearly 35 hectares—a truly timeless estate.

Founded around the year 1100, this remarkable heritage complex includes a 16th-century residence, a monumental 13th-century tithe barn, a dovecote, several outbuildings, and the remains of an ancient fortified complex. Several elements are listed or classified as Historic Monuments.

The main house, measuring approximately 320 m², has been elegantly restored with respect for its history. A stone spiral staircase, tuffeau stone fireplaces, exposed stone walls, antique terracotta tiles, and exposed timber beams create warm and bright interiors spread over three levels.

Opposite the main house, the tithe barn stretches nearly 43 meters in length beneath an impressive oak roof structure. Now converted for events, it features a hall that can accommodate up to 200 people.

The estate spans 34.58 hectares in a single block, featuring woods, meadows, and walking paths, all crisscrossed by a small stream. Rose gardens, vineyards, century-old trees, and historic buildings create a setting of rare authenticity.

Located just outside Tours, the property enjoys a preserved natural environment while remaining perfectly connected: the TGV station and airport are approximately 15 km away, and Paris is just 55 minutes away.

A unique place, steeped in history, where heritage, nature, and the art of living come together.

À quelques minutes de Tours, à l’abri des regards, se dévoile un prieuré médiéval exceptionnel de près de 35 hectares, véritable domaine hors du temps.

Fondé autour de l’an 1100, cet ensemble patrimonial remarquable réunit un logis du XVIᵉ siècle, une monumentale grange dîmière du XIIIᵉ siècle, un pigeonnier, plusieurs dépendances ainsi que les vestiges d’un ancien ensemble fortifié. Plusieurs éléments sont inscrits ou classés au titre des Monuments Historiques.

Le logis, d’environ 320 m², a été restauré avec élégance dans le respect de son histoire. Escalier à vis en pierre, cheminées en tuffeau, murs en pierre apparente, tomettes anciennes et charpentes apparentes composent des intérieurs chaleureux et lumineux, répartis sur trois niveaux.

Face au logis, la grange dîmière développe près de 43 mètres de longueur sous une impressionnante charpente en chêne. Aujourd’hui aménagée pour l’événementiel, elle offre notamment une salle pouvant accueillir jusqu’à 200 personnes.

Le domaine s’étend sur 34,58 hectares d’un seul tenant, entre bois, prairies et chemins de promenade, traversés par un petit cours d’eau. Rosiers, vignes, arbres centenaires et bâtiments historiques composent un décor d’une rare authenticité.

À proximité immédiate de Tours, la propriété bénéficie d’un environnement préservé tout en restant parfaitement connectée : gare TGV et aéroport à environ 15 km, Paris accessible en 55 minutes.

Un lieu rare, chargé d’histoire, où patrimoine, nature et art de vivre se rencontrent.
