A renovated farmyard and its outbuildings, with 9 hectares of pastures and woods in the Touraine region.
The property is located in the countryside, halfway between Ligueil and Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine along the eastern end of the Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine plateau, within the Centre-Val de Loire region. The city of Tours and its high-speed rail station is 35 minutes away, which makes it possible to reach, on average, the Paris-Montparnasse station in one hour and 15 minutes.
From a local road, a drive leads to the farmyard, which, built at the end of the 19th century, was renovated and overlooks the small valley. The buildings are primarily situated around a square landscaped courtyard and include: the main dwelling, a furnace room, a holiday cottage adjacent to the barn, a former sheepfold and an annexe dwelling that closes off the courtyard. Two outbuildings are also within immediate proximity: a bakehouse to the south and an agricultural storage building to the north, while the entrance gate, located in the south-eastern corner of the property, opens onto a gravel parking area. The main dwelling is oriented east-west, and all the buildings have pointed stonework walls, dressed tuffeau stone window and door surrounds and flat tile or slate roofs. All around, the tree-filled garden provides views of the property's pastures and wooded areas, while the whole, contiguous property extends over 9 hectares in all.
The HouseWith an attic level, this single-storey farmhouse has pointed stonework walls, rectilinear small-paned windows and a glazed front door, while gabled dormer windows with triangular pediments punctuate its roof. With simple ornamental features concentrated mostly around the dressed tuffeau stone door and window surrounds, the house was partly built atop a vaulted cellar, which is accessible via an exterior stone staircase on one side of the house.

The entrance hall, with pointed stone walls, includes a lavatory, laundry room and a wooden staircase that provides upstairs access. In addition, this space leads, on one side, to a living room and, on the other, to a kitchen. In both rooms, tuffeau stone fireplaces have been fitted with wood stoves, while, in the kitchen, a door opens onto a patio on one side of the house, which faces the bakehouse. Throughout this level, there are terracotta tile floors and exposed ceiling beams as well as pointed stonework or dressed tuffeau stone walls.

On one side, it leads to a bedroom and a shower room with lavatory, while, on the other, it provides access to two bedrooms, a wardrobe and a bathroom with lavatory, which are all bathed in light thanks to the many dormer windows and skylights. All of the walls are clad in light grey wood panelling, except for the bedrooms where the house's gable ends are in pointed stone.
