1,060 m² Château – 17 bedrooms, swimming pool, and park – Azay-le-Rideau
Located just 2 km from the center of Azay-le-Rideau, in the heart of one of Touraine’s most sought-after tourist areas, this château—built in 1909—has remained in the same family since its construction.
The property offers approximately 1,060 m² of living space and a total floor area of nearly 2,000 m². Renovated in 2013, the château is in excellent condition and retains a particularly interesting interior layout, where spacious volumes and period features play a central role.
Generous proportions set the tone right from the entrance. A remarkable staircase serves the upper floors and facilitates a fluid flow between the various reception and living areas.
The château comprises 17 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, along with two kitchens and two dressing rooms. Highlights include two formal reception rooms, each exceeding 70 m² and boasting ceilings 5.60 meters high. Their spaciousness, décor, and well-preserved architectural details all testify to the home's distinctive character.
The construction was notably innovative for its time, featuring double glazing and original pocket doors—details that are quite rare for a property built in the early 20th century.
Outside, the château opens onto a park offering lovely vistas. A large south-facing terrace provides a natural extension to the reception rooms, allowing residents to fully enjoy the surroundings. A swimming pool complements the leisure facilities, while a former tennis court could be restored to use.
An independent pavilion of approximately 130 m²—currently in need of complete renovation—offers further potential for use as a guest house, a separate residence, or a space for a future business venture. Despite its size, the property enjoys a well-balanced location: a peaceful setting that is not isolated, situated in the immediate vicinity of Azay-le-Rideau and the Loire Valley's main attractions.
The renovation also placed particular emphasis on energy efficiency. The château boasts an impressive energy performance rating for a property of this scale, thanks notably to the installation of heat pumps and a thermodynamic water heater. Two gas boilers also provide heating for part of the château, while the pavilion has its own dedicated gas boiler.
With its spacious interiors, numerous bedrooms, and layout, this residence is ideally suited as a large family home—whether for primary or secondary use. It also lends itself perfectly to a high-end hospitality venture, such as a bed and breakfast.
A property of real character—distinguished as much by its architecture and spaciousness as by its excellent state of preservation—located just minutes from the center of Azay-le-Rideau in the heart of Touraine.
