Réf. 4431 : For sale rare fully restored loge des vignes.

Half-way between Le Mans and Tours this, rare on the market, fully restored wine growers lodge is tucked away on the edge of a small hamlet in the centre of its own 3 acres vineyard. Excellent access to local restaurants, markets and commerce this is an ideal “getaway” property with the added possibility of the vine being managed by a local expert and payment in bottled wine to the new owner.

Surrounded by vineyards, the original winegrower’s dwelling consisted of a single room, located in what is now referred to as the tower. The adjoining barn once sheltered the horse, tools and hay. During the restoration of the tower room — now used as the sitting room — the original fireplace was preserved, along with a small wine cellar accessible through a trapdoor.
The tower room connects with the former adjoining barn, which has been transformed into a bright, functional fitted kitchen. These two rooms are flooded with natural light and open directly onto the vineyards. An open-tread staircase leads to a mezzanine linking the bathroom (with WC) to the bedroom in the upper part of the tower, enhanced by its exposed beams. The total living area is now approximately 26.5 sqm.
The layout has been thoughtfully designed, combining modern comfort with period character. Bathed in natural light, the house offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape from every opening. At the front, a stone terrace with integrated floor lighting provides an ideal setting for dining while enjoying the sunrise or sunset over the vines.
Designed to accommodate a family of four, the property invites relaxation. Al fresco meals can be leisurely enjoyed on the terrace, taking advantage of the long, sunny summers typical of this part of north-western France. Just a few minutes away by car, a large recreational lake offers opportunities for canoeing, horse riding, sailing, swimming and fishing. The setting is idyllic for discovering this sought-after area of the Loire Valley and Sarthe region.
Subject to planning consent, an extension of approximately 40 m² (20 m² over two levels) could be considered. This would allow for the creation of a second bedroom and bathroom upstairs, the enlargement of the sitting room, or the addition of a conservatory — giving the future owner scope to tailor the property to their personal preferences.

Outbuildings :

There is a small garden shed for outdoor furniture, bicycles and the lawnmower.

The land extends to 3 acres, mainly planted with vines. A gravel driveway leads to and around the property, while grassed alleys structure the plot harmoniously.
The vines are classified AOC Coteaux du Loir and planted with a highly regarded grape variety — Pineau d’Aunis, also known as Chenin Noir. This red grape, native to the Saumur region, is now mainly cultivated in Anjou and Touraine. Its name originates from the Priory of Aunis, located in Dampierre-sur-Loire near Saumur, where it was historically grown.
Currently not under production, the vineyard offers the future owner the option of taking on its cultivation personally or establishing a partnership with a local winegrower, possibly in exchange for around 20% of the yield.
