This castle, listed as a historic monument, is located in South Touraine, in the area of Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine, near a small town with local shops. Without any neighbors, in the heart of its park, the property remains connected to major routes: the A10 motorway is 30 km away and the TGV station is one hour away. A tree-lined driveway leads to the honor courtyard, shaded by a large cedar. The castle features a circular keep from the 12th century, with walls nearly three meters thick, a dwelling enlarged in the 15th century, and a polygonal staircase tower topped with slate and flanked by a turret. Its tuffeau facades and sculpted dormer reflect in the water feature that borders the residence. A complete restoration, carried out with respect for the old structure, has allowed for the reconstruction of the top of the keep, now converted into a panoramic terrace, the restoration of the floors, the reopening of the openings, the replacement of the joinery, and the installation of heating and air conditioning throughout the castle. An installation of 79 photovoltaic panels complements these facilities. The 667 m² of living space is spread over four levels. On the ground floor, a 68 m² living room and a 27 m² kitchen open onto the terrace and the park. They are complemented by a bar with a game room and a suite with a dressing room. On the first floor, the large room of 68 m², with double height under a mezzanine, extends into a small lounge, a library, and an office. The keep houses three suites, two of which are 42 and 44 m². The castle has a total of five bedrooms, each with its own shower or bathroom, as well as a billiard room on the second floor. The tower leads to a workshop and then to a chapel. The basement contains 51 m² of cellars and a wine cellar located in the base of the keep. The outbuildings, made of stone and covered with tiles, represent approximately 2,800 m² on the ground. They include a reception room of 472 m², a dining room of 405 m², and an outdoor bar of 242 m². Additionally, there is an indoor swimming pool in an annex building, an orangery, an old bakery with its bread oven, a workshop, a barn, and animal stalls. A garage for twelve vehicles, a double garage, and a parking lot for 22 cars complete the ensemble. These spaces allow for mixed use, between family residence, receptions, and events. The property extends over 1.9 hectares of wooded park, enhanced by a water feature. A rare lordly residence, combining eight centuries of history, quality restoration, and hosting capabilities.
