Unique property located at the foot of the chateau with stunning views across the Indre

A well presented, south facing property located at the foot of the village chateau. The property is orientated to take full advantage of the stunning and far-reaching views which are visible from the majority of rooms. There are also lovely outside seating areas, a garden and even a dipping pool. There is a room at the garden level with a sink; perfect for a summer kitchen or a garden bar!

The property is situated in the charming village of Palluau-sur-Indre, set within the picturesque valley of the River Indre. The river winds gently through the landscape, with the Château de Palluau sitting proudly on the hill above, creating a striking and timeless backdrop.

The château, in its present form, dates back to the 15th century, and the village skyline has changed very little since that time. During the French Renaissance, the château was modernised by its owners and transformed into a more comfortable residence. Skilled craftsmen brought to the region from Brittany by Anne de Bretagne, the French queen, contributed to these works. Anne herself spent much of her time at the Château de Loches, located just a few dozen miles down the Indre River from Palluau.

Palluau-sur-Indre also holds historical significance as the birthplace of Frontenac, a key figure in the establishment of the city and province of Québec, Canada. The village church, located in front of the property, contains the tombs and epitaphs of the Frontenac family, adding further historical depth and interest to this exceptional setting.

The property is entered directly from street level into an entrance hall, with stairs rising to the upper floors and doors leading to both the garage and the kitchen.

A small flight of stairs (3 sq m) leads down to the kitchen/dining room (approximately 16.8 sq m). The kitchen is fitted with high- and low-level white cupboards and offers space for appliances, complemented by a large kitchen sink. The dining area is finished with an eye-catching black and white tiled floor, creating a stylish focal point. Doors open directly onto the terrace, which provides ample space for outdoor dining while enjoying the breathtaking views.

From the terrace, steps lead down to the garden level. At this level are two versatile rooms, one of which includes a sink, making it ideal for use when entertaining or when enjoying the outdoor space. These rooms are currently accessed via the garden only and measure approximately 10 sq m. Also on this level is a wooden terrace featuring a 2m x 2m dipping pool, perfect for relaxing and keeping cool on hot summer days.

Returning to the entrance hall, a door leads to the spacious garage, measuring approximately 27.8 sq m, features double doors opening onto the street and provides ample space for parking as well as additional storage. To the rear of the garage is a toilet, the property’s boiler, and a useful sink, making this a highly practical area.

From the entrance hall, a few steps lead up to the bathroom (approximately 4.1 sq m), a separate toilet (1.5 sq m), and the sitting room (15.6 sq m). The sitting room benefits from a Juliette balcony, a brick-surround fireplace, and once again enjoys the property’s beautiful, far-reaching views.

A further half-level leads to a corridor which serves two bedrooms, measuring approximately 9 sq m and 10.24 sq m. The larger bedroom is at the rear of the house and benefits from the lovely open views.

The property also has approximately 10 sq m of circulation space throughout, enhancing the sense of flow, spaciousness and usability across all levels.
