3 Bedroom House and 2 Bedroom Guest House or Studio at Châtillon Sur Loire Loiret 45.

Property Description

This property, situated on a canal alongside the Loire, has an interesting history. It began as a wine yard in the Roman times; in the early 19th century it became a stone quarry, and it was later transformed into a farm that provided food for the commercial boats on the Loire.
It is completely private, overlooking the canal and accessible by a small, Eiffel style bridge and a single lane road that ends in a cul de sac.
A few hundred meters away, there is parking for boats, as well as boat rental facilities; also within walking distance is the lock of Mantelot, a conservation area classified as a French Historical Monument, that has been in service since the 19th century for crossing the Loire river with boats.
The property is within the town limits of Chatillon sur Loire, where you will find many restaurants, shops and services and a weekley street market.
The old town with narrow streets, half-timbered houses, and the ruins of Chateau Gaillard. Chatillon is also a stopping place along the "Loire à Vélo" cycling route, and the starting point of several hiking, riding or cycling paths following the sunken tracks and the towpaths along the Loire and the canals for hundreds of kilometers.
