Chartres
Located near Chartres, just 1 hour from Paris, this 16th century property and its outbuildings sit on a 3000 m² plot of land. Accessible via a small road intersecting with an old dead-end path, the property is framed by ancient walls and a wrought iron gate. To the left of the gate, a wooden door leads to a walled garden and a separate house, while the main house stands opposite. The main house may have served as a fortified residence, likely associated with the nearby medieval farm estate. Its architectural features suggest a focus on security for its inhabitants, with thick walls and irregularly placed openings typical of the transitional period from the Middle Ages. The exterior showcases large stones and limestone facades, common in the Loire Valley region and beyond. Adjacent to the main house is a large barn, a lean-to, and an arched opening in a wall covered in climbing plants leading to the backyard and its apple trees. The price of this property reflects its historical significance and unique architectural features, making it a valuable investment for those seeking a piece of history in a tranquil countryside setting.
