Description from owner

Description

L'Ancienne Poste is a typical French property. It has an elegant and luminous "Maison de Maître" and two old farm buildings converted into comfortable homes. The garden is large and children will love the forest.

Opposite the house is the public pool and a mini-golf course. There is a fishing pond nearby. At walking distance, the local boulangerie and boucherie are fantastic and there is a little supermarket, pizzeria and bar.

L'ancienne Poste is surrounded by gorgeous French villages and their weekly markets and is close to the Loire Valley chateaux and the world-rated zoo de Beauval.

Enjoy the markets and cook in the beautiful, well equipped kitchens. Have a drink on the deck overlooking the garden while the children enjoy all the toys, games, fancy-dresses. Go wine tasting, take cooking classes, roam around some of the most beautiful gardens, dive into history with chateaux, churches, monasteries...

And of course, enjoy the house. With lots of windows bringing in natural light and space for all, lounges, a games room with a pool table, babyfoot and baby grand piano, 12 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms... You'll feel happy inside and outside.
