Wonderful opportunity to acquire a fabulous estate comprising a beautifully renovated 3 storey Chateau, a guest house, cottage and guardian's house, all nestling in 5 hectares of glorious gardens with two pools and tennis court, ideally located in Tours.
This remarkable chateau belonged to the Marquis de Lafayette, hero of the Americain War of Independence. Once a medieval moated castle, it mainly dates from the Renaissance and the 1800s, and has been superbly and extensively restored and modernised throughout. The most remarkable element of its architecture is the magnificent gallery on the eastern side built during the Renaissance.
The chateau was designed for entertaining, and possesses a series of large and elegant drawing rooms, with tall windows and handsome stone fireplaces. Up the fabulous stone staircase to a magnificent gallery and
5 en-suite bedrooms.
On the second floor are a further 3 en-suite bedrooms, attics and a games room.
There are three further residences on the property: the guest house, the cottage and the guardian's house. All three houses have been recently renovated to the highest standards, and two are rented out as holiday accommodation.
The third house is the gatehouse, presently used by the guardian.
There are several outbuildings, all in immaculate repair: and include garaging for up to 13 cars and a large room designed for gatherings that comes with a fully-equipped kitchen and other facilities.
The 5 hectare garden features a magnificent chestnut tree avenue, two swimming pools, a tennis court, a petanque court, a magnificent dovecote, large lawns and meadows.
The history of the property is fascinating, as it was part of a set of estates in Touraine owned by the Marquess de La Fayette, hero of the Americain Revolution.
