A most inspiring hamlet close to Tours

Only a 2 hours' drive from Paris, also accessible by train (45mn by TGV and a 30mn drive) and 20mn from Tours airport, a fabulous estate of incomparable charm, built from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Having belonged to a famed parisian gallery owner who hosted all the greatest 20th century artists – Francis Bacon, Alberto Giacometti, Sam Szafran to name a few – and gave concerts featuring the most renowned performers (he was himself a musician), this hamlet spanning 14 ha, includes a 450 sq.m. house with a tropical greenhouse and an authentic Moroccan patio, a 3-floor tower with a grand salon for receptions and an impressive library, two guest houses of 300 and 60 sq.m. with 10 bedrooms and bathrooms and a spectacular, 900 sq.m. barn for concerts, with an 18th-century organ. In a very bucolic setting, this estate also includes a swimming pool, a stream, a pond, gardens, a forest and fields, outbuildings, a garage, horse stalls, a greenhouse, a 150 sq.m. barn, and a vegetable garden. A 140 sq.m. caretaker's house with 3 bedrooms and a large 140 sq.m. terrace and an additional hectare of land are available at extra cost. A unique and exceptional property, rarely available on the market, this estate is ideal for a family home, a foundation project, an artist residency, or hosting events.
