Château for sale in Richelieu, Indre-Et-Loire, Centre-Val De Loire

The current owners of this medieval castle have contributed to creating a house for family reunions over the last 10 years, providing undeniable comfort with its efficient central heating, double glazing on old windows and its outdoor swimming pool heated by a heat pump.

We are in a region with a mild climate as it is situated about 50 km south of the Loire.

In winter the area is also known for the production of melanosporum truffles. And of course the vineyards of Chinon and Saumur are nearby.
