La casa de 2 dormitorios de DOVE en nuestro santuario Songbird cerca de Chateau Chenonceau

We just fell in love with this property, our 'Songbird Sanctuary', as soon as we saw it. We had looked at a number of perfectly nice properties – mostly ‘longere’, which are typical of the region – a long rectangle on a flat lawn. They are often lovely but… for me, lacking in a certain spark of individuality. This was completely different. Set up on three levels, with the potential for all kinds of interesting living spaces, connections and privacy.

The place is beautifully quiet, however there is a train track that passes right behind the houses on the other side of the road. We are a bit shielded from that, since the gites are on the courtyards up on the second level, not directly facing the street. There is no visual connection but you will be aware of the occasional train when it goes by.

We also have another property, our ‘Clos Lussault’ right near Amboise, which is also full of connecting passages, caves and fascinating spaces, a glorious maze of possibilities! As an architect, I love creating these unique and beautiful vacation rental homes – especially the majestic spaces and challenges of renovating the caves ;-) . And as an ex-pat, I love meeting the people who come to enjoy their vacations here. I do hope to get to meet you soon!
