This is an ideal location to enjoy the most famous chateaux of the Loire Valley. Located in the tiny hamlet of Le Port, this house is on the banks of the Cher river. It is just 4km along a country path to the beautiful Chenonceau chateau. Drive half an hour to the west to see Tours, half an hour north to Amboise and a bit further to Blois. The area is dotted with charming villages, river views and open fields cultivated with sunflowers and wheat.
Built in the 1870s this was originally a fisherman's abode. Now fully renovated by its new owners, it is charming and welcoming. It is on a private drive with a gated back garden and the river beyond. From the back patio one can enjoy the fruit trees and the peaceful view. Just past the garden gate, is a country path along the river to Chenonceau. The ground floor has a fully renovated, spacious country kitchen with white walls, tile floor and a door to the garden. The antique wooden farmer's table seats 8. The living room is adjacent with comfortable seating, fireplace and a door to the garden. A guest toilet and sink is by the entry.
