Property For Sale in the Loire Valley

You want simplicity in your life in order to live out your French dream, near the famous chateau and the rich history of France. Imagine sipping on wine while eating cheese and the beautiful French bread in the hot summer sun overlooking stunning views and wildlife.

Many people moving to France from the UK have the dream of buying a property in the middle of nowhere with lots of land. This is largely to do with land being at a premium in the UK and what with France being four times the size, land is much, much cheaper. But beware.

You can have that nice drop of wine too.

As an additional extra, there is a block of land with a barn ready for renovation also available for purchase. which is right next door to this property. Once renovated (planning approval has been acquired, although a new application would be needed to be made by a new owner), this property could be sold on, or even rented out for additional income. It would be so easy to rent out and look after as it is next door to you. And the beauty of this main property for sale in the Loire Valley is that it is ready to be moved into right now, it has been restored already and there is still room for more improvement for you to make your own mark on it.

Property Loire Valley Latest News

Am getting a bit frustrated to say the least. I’m trying to cover all bases regarding my properties for sale. I have an agent in Valencay, an English agent near Chabris who advertises it internationally and I am trying to get one on board from St Aignan.

It is so difficult selling from another country though, and nobody seems to be doing anything or giving me any feedback. It’s almost like out of sight out of mind. I think I need to start being a pain in the neck to them more, get them acting.

I’ve reduced the price for both to 94k including agents fees and see how that goes. It really is a bargain for this price as I am already losing money on it as I have put in more than what I am asking for it. But I fully expected to be living there for many years, but circumstances dictated otherwise. Divorce is never easy… 

I recently had some interest from a couple based in the UAE, have yet to hear back. They're looking for an investment property, of which this is ideal. So will have to watch this space I guess.

Selling my Property in France

My property in Loire Valley of France has been on the market for a couple of months now. I listed it with a local agent, but they haven't been much use at all. I then discovered another agent not far away who markets French properties in a different way. He is part of a group of agents who advertise on high profile French property websites.

So far, although I am yet to have a visit, there have been many enquirers from people all over the world. From countries such as the US? Australia, and of course dear old Blighty.

And this is the reason why there have been no physical visits as yet, because the people interested will have to fly over and make plans to view other properties to make it worthwhile for them.

So I live in hope. My property Loire Valley is well priced and I anticipate an offer in due course, after all with over 1650m² of land, a main property and a barn to restore and all in the beautiful Loire Valley, a beautiful lifestyle awaits.

The barn for sale in France can be bought separately from the main property if desired.

Barn for Sale in France

Also included in the sale is this barn for sale in France. It is just across the road from the main property, but its associated land (over 1000m²) is right next to the main property. This property can be purchased separately from the main property if desired, although I will negotiate better if both are bought together.

The barn has received approval to be renovated, although any new owner buying it would have to reapply, but it shows that the relevant authorities are happy for it to be restored. I am also happy to give the new owner the paperwork and plans already completed to show what will be passed by the authorities. The new owner could either copy the existing plans or use them as a foundation to do whatever they feel.

The two properties together form a good solid basis for a great lifestyle. With them bought together, you have a good property to move into instantly which will enable you to live and enjoy the lifestyle, and you also have room for expansion within that main property, but you can also hop across the road and begin restoring this old barn (which was once inhabited) and once complete, could be sold on or rented out for income.

These two properties offer excellent flexibility and will enable you to start your life in France and the Loire Valley as smoothly and easily as you like.
