5 Bed House for sale
Châtillon-sur-Loire, Loiret, Centre, France
Full Description
This is a one of a kind, gem of a property, completely private, surrounded by woods, but within easy walking distance to all amenities. Situated on a canal alongside the Loire and set in a cul de sac accessible by a small, Eiffel bridge, the property is ideal for anyone with boats, horses, other pets or who just loves nature. It was totally renovated by an artist, with a stained glass entrance, hand crafted fully insulated oak doors and windows, large balcony overlooking the canal, whirlpool spa with attached sauna and a separate guesthouse. There is also a detached double garage, and the grounds (over a hectare) are fully fenced. Les Rabutelloires is rich in 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 (the house was created from the original barn). A few hundred meters away, there is parking for boats, boat rental facilities and the lock of Mantelot, a conservation area classified as a French Historical Monument. The property is within the town limits of Chatillon sur Loire, where you will find many restaurants, shops and services, excellent medical facilities, and an old town filled with historic sites. 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 Loire and its canals for hundreds of kilometers, all the way up to the Atlantic Ocean.
