Exceptional property in the heart of the Loir Valley – A unique troglodyte world

There are places you visit... and others you feel. Nestled in a preserved environment in the Loir Valley, this exceptional property offers a world where stone, history, and nature become one.

Fully restored, the complex’s renovation was completed in 2025. These former troglodyte dwellings and presses, dating back to the 13th century, have been transformed into a rare and comfortable accommodation complex.

The property includes 5 independent and flexible troglodyte lodgings:
- 3 units for 2 to 4 people, each with a living room, open kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and toilet;
- 1 large troglodyte of 92 m² for 4 to 6 people, with 2 bedrooms;
- 1 semi-troglodyte lodging for 5 to 7 people.

All have private terraces with unobstructed views of the Loir Valley. Some units connect via a remarkable indoor gallery carved into the rock, ideal for hosting groups.

Beneath the stone, comfort is outstanding: underfloor heating in all lodgings, complete and meticulous renovation, and no dampness sensation. A healthy and comfortable troglodyte habitat.

This complex offers tremendous tourism and rental potential. Seasonal rentals, group hosting, family projects, or the possibility to live in part of the property while renting out the others – imagine your own project.

A living heritage
Living in a troglodyte home means inhabiting history. The rock provides an incomparable atmosphere, blending silence, sculpted volumes, and changing light. Each lodging has its own character.

The Loir Valley charms with its characterful villages, hillsides, and rivers. Between Trôo, Lavardin, Thoré-la-Rochette, and the Plessis Sasnières gardens, visitors discover an authentic destination, perfect for green and cultural tourism.

Only 15 km from Vendôme and its TGV station, the property enjoys a privileged location. The Loir River and kayak launches are nearby, while Blois and Amboise are reachable in about 45 minutes.

Regarding energy performance
The official DPE rating does not fully reflect the real performance of this type of troglodyte habitat. Thanks to the natural inertia of the rock and underfloor heating, actual consumption remains well controlled, averaging about €660 of electricity per year.

A rare place, rich in history, offering exceptional tourism potential. Profitable investment, accommodation activity, or new lifestyle project: this troglodyte property presents a truly unique opportunity in the Loir Valley.

For questions about turnover, answers are of course available. Fees are the seller’s responsibility.
