ATHEE SUR CHER, Centre-Val de Loire 37270

In Athée-sur-Cher, at the heart of Indre-et-Loire and within easy reach of Tours, this manor house offers approximately 230 sq m within a former priory whose original character has been preserved. Its tuffeau-stone architecture, so closely associated with the historic homes of Touraine, gives the property a particularly harmonious presence. The quality of the tuffeau-stone façades is immediately apparent. Inside, the reception rooms continue this architectural heritage with their original terracotta floor tiles. Their time-worn patina lends warmth, depth and authenticity to the atmosphere of the house. These details quietly convey the history of the property and create a setting that retains all the charm of a fine Touraine residence. The house provides approximately 230 sq m of accommodation and includes five bedrooms. This capacity is well suited to comfortable family life and to welcoming children, relatives or friends on a regular basis. The house appeals above all through the coherence of its architecture, the natural beauty of its traditional materials and the sense of continuity that runs throughout the property. The 2.4-hectare park provides a landscape worthy of the house and forms a generous setting around the residence. It is a natural extension of the living environment throughout the seasons. A charming ornamental pavilion also stands within the park. Its walls are decorated with animal scenes painted on canvas, a distinctive scheme that gives the interior a particularly evocative atmosphere. This unusual feature enhances the character of the property and recalls the care once devoted to creating places of relaxation and contemplation within the grounds of fine country residences. Three cellars complete the property and further reflect the historic character of the estate. The location combines a Touraine setting with practical access to everyday services. Bléré, with its shops and schools, is approximately eight minutes away by car.
