This 3-bed longere dates back to 1800. The current owners bought it 23 years ago and have renovated it to a very high standard. There’s a pretty garden with lovely views as well as several outbuildings. The property is in a peaceful location within easy reach of the shops at Lucay-le-Male.

The layout of the accommodation is as follows: 

Ground floor:
Living room with wood-burner
Kitchen-diner with access to the garden through French doors
Shower room with WC
Ground floor bedroom with en suite bathroom 

First floor: 
Bedroom 2
Bedroom 3
Open-plan landing area (ideal as a home office/snug)

Outside:
Set on a generous plot of approximately 2700m², the garden is a peaceful haven filled with established planting. A patio area just off the kitchen provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining, while the expansive lawn is dotted with mature trees, flowering shrubs, roses, irises, and even a grapevine. Hedges enclose most of the garden, though the rear opens out onto the surrounding countryside, offering beautiful, uninterrupted views. 

The property also includes historic outbuildings, among them a listed former bread oven and an old pig and rabbit house, which are currently used for storage. A paved driveway provides parking for one car, with additional space available on the grass at the garden’s edge.

Location: 
Located in the peaceful hamlet of Chaubuisson, you're just a few minutes from all daily essentials in Lucay-le-Mâle. Here you’ll find a bakery, mini-mart, pharmacy, bar/restaurant and post office. There’s a small weekly market on a Friday afternoon. 
The larger towns of Valençay, Loches and Ramoratin all have a wide selection of shops, supermarkets etc as well as weekly produce markets. 

Just a short drive away, you’ll find the lake at La Fouquetière—great for swimming, fishing, or grabbing a bite at the lakeside restaurant. 

The region is packed with charm, from the stunning châteaux of the Loire Valley, including Montresor and Valençay, to ZooParc de Beauval, Europe’s largest zoo, only 30 minutes away. Food lovers will enjoy the local restaurants—La Vieille Auberge St Fiacre and Le Cheval Blanc in Lucay are firm favourites—and there’s no shortage of excellent local wines to sample. Wine growers often offer tastings, so you can try the delicious Touraine and Valençay varieties before you buy. And of course, you can’t leave without trying the local goat’s cheese—mild, creamy, and absolutely perfect for cooking.

A note from the owners:
"This house has been our peaceful retreat during holidays—quiet, friendly, and surrounded by natural beauty. We’ve had great relationships with neighbours and found reliable local artisans for every project. The area is still relatively undiscovered, so it feels authentic and unspoilt. Now retired nearby, we still love the food, the wine, and the slower pace of life.”
