Character house with troglodyte cave and access to the Loire

Located midway between Saumur and Gennes-Val-de-Loire, this property offers a total surface area of 270 sqm, divided between a main residence and a troglodyte dwelling, set within 804 sqm of land.

Entirely redesigned by an architect, this property combines preserved authenticity with contemporary design, resulting from a recent and comprehensive renovation from floor to roof. High-quality materials enhance the original character of the property: tuffeau stone, exposed beams, travertine flooring and parquet accented with slate create a warm and elegant atmosphere. The carefully designed volumes provide a sense of balance and intimacy, ideal for relaxation. One of the property’s key features lies in the many views over the Loire, creating a constant connection with the surrounding landscape and giving the setting a rare contemplative dimension.

The main house, offering 165 sqm of living space, features a ground floor opening onto an entrance leading to a streamlined living room, extended by a terrace that creates a seamless connection with the outdoors. This level also includes a laundry room and a fully fitted and equipped kitchen, designed as a functional and convivial living space. A few steps lead to a half-level where the dining room is centered around a wood-burning stove, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Extending from this space, a first suite with shower room provides a comfortable sleeping area. Upstairs, the mezzanine, highlighted by a structure combining wood and steel, offers an open space and leads to a second suite, two bedrooms and a shower room, all within a soft and harmonious ambiance.

Outside, the spaces unfold subtly, alternating between an enclosed garden, relaxation areas and an intimate courtyard. At the rear, the troglodyte dwelling of approximately 105 sqm offers a vast open-plan living space with kitchen and shower room, presenting rare potential for a second home or independent activity. A footbridge leads to an elevated plot, where the Loire reveals itself in its full expanse, offering a striking panorama throughout the seasons. Private parking and direct access to the river elegantly complete the many assets of this peaceful haven.

This property is located 13 minutes by car from both Saumur and Gennes-Val-de-Loire, 16 minutes from Saumur train station and 22 minutes from the A85 motorway.
