This beautiful 5 bedroom ‘Maison de Maitre’ is located just minutes from the stunning river Loire, in the pretty village of Berthenay. The property is 15mins from Tours, 10mins from La Riche and walking distance to basic shops. There are over 2 acres of lovely grounds as well as a barn and a cellar. The current owner runs the property as a successful Chambre d’Hôtes business but it would work well as a large family home.
There is a generous 245m2 of habitable space and the living areas are bright and spacious.
A stone staircase leads to the front door. The heart of the house is the impressive 62 m² living room, with its magnificent fireplace. Next door is a fully equipped kitchen, making it an ideal space for everyday family life as well as entertaining.
The ground floor also offers a bedroom, a separate WC, and a second dining room with an open-plan kitchen—perfect for hosting family and friends. There's also a utility room and another bedroom with direct access to the garden.
Upstairs, a cosy private sitting room leads to the principal bedroom suite, which has its own shower room and separate WC. There are also two further bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite shower room and WC, offering comfort and privacy for family or guests.
Outside, the grounds are a real highlight. With mature trees, an orchard and a meadow, there's plenty of space to relax, enjoy nature or simply soak up the peaceful surroundings.
The property also includes a barn, a wine cellar, a well, a pellet-fired central heating boiler and a wood-burning stove, combining period charm with practical modern comforts.
