The Loire Valley held immense value for France's monarchs: with its mild climate, fertile land, abundant forests for hunting, and a mere three-day journey from Paris by horse. From the late Middle Ages to the end of the 16th century, this region became the chosen residence of the court, where the renowned chateaux, now safeguarded as a UNESCO world heritage site, were built by the finest crqftsmen of the age.
This distinguished manor stands among those chateaux, boasting an even more ancient history of defense. Perched atop a hill, it surveys the encompassing valley from all directions, a testament to its strategic location.
Nestled in a charming village, a short 30-minute ride south of the grand river, the manor is now home to vintners and their families. From its windows, one can catch a glimpse of the appealing village church, while the panoramic views extend over the village to the plains, vineyards, and forests beyond. A network of walking paths crisscrosses the picturesque countryside.
Meticulous attention to historical accuracy and unwavering investment has been poured into the manor's restoration. Its splendid reception rooms, bedrooms, gardens, and supplementary structures form an ensemble that remains unmatched in the region.
Adding to its allure is a two-hectare expanse of precious organic AOC Saumur vines, aged 20 to 40 years. Currently tended by a neighboring vintner who crafts delightful Chenin Blanc, control of the vineyard can be reclaimed with appropriate notice.
The property is conveniently located just 25 minutes from the enchanting town of Saumur, adored by tourists for its chateau, wines, and lively Saturday market. Accessible international flights are available from Tours and Nantes.
