Welcome to our house, a beautifully restored 200 year old property which blends a mix of modern decor with original features. The tasteful and high quality renovation was recognised in a feature in Living France magazine. The property is located in a tranquil location, in a hamlet 1 mile from the village of Vaas, which provides a shop, boulangerie, charcuterie, two bars and a very good restaurant. Vaas is on the Le Loir river, which provides opportunities for kayaking. Slightly further away is the bustling small town of Chateau Du Loire (6 miles) which has a fabulous range of shops, cafe's, restaurants and other amenities, as well as a fantastic Saturday market, and Le Lude (8 miles) which includes a fabulous Chateau. The main A28 motorway is only 4 miles away, placing the Channel Ports of Caen (2hrs) and St Malo (2.5hrs) and the Channel Tunnel (4.5hrs) within easy reach. Tours airport provides regular flights to London Stansted and is an easy drive of 40 minutes. Why not explore the wonderful Loire vineyards from Muscadet in the West to Sancerre in the East, with close proximity to the wonderful wines from Bourgueil, Touraine and Vouvray. If you're interested in visiting the world famous chateaux, there are plentiful options to visit during your stay. The house is located equal distance between the fascinating cities of Tours and Le Mans. Both can be visited by car or by train using the local railway station at Vaas which is within a 20 minute walk. For the more adventurous, take a train to Le Mans and then hop on the 1 hr TGV service to Paris for a short mini break. For any petrol heads, the World famous Le Mans race circuit is only a 25 minute drive away and hosts events including the 24 hour race, Classic and MotoGP throughout the year. For those guests wanting to relax and recharge the batteries, the property looks out onto approx. 1/2 acre of well kept mature private gardens.
