Property Overview
Located in the heart of a small village in the Sologne region, this guesthouse has undergone a meticulous renovation, creating warm, inviting living spaces for both you and your guests.
The property is divided into two interconnected sections, which can also be separated thanks to independent entrances.
Section 1: On the ground floor, there is an entrance leading into a laundry room, followed by a bright, attractive bedroom with an expansive en-suite bathroom (featuring both a bathtub and a shower) and a toilet. Upstairs, you will find a landing area and a large, light-filled recreation room.
Section 2: The main section features a very spacious living/dining area (nearly 50 m²) with a fireplace, a dining room with a semi-open kitchen, and a shower room with a toilet. Both the living room and the kitchen open onto an unheated conservatory, which in turn leads out to the garden. Upstairs, a hallway provides access to two guest bedrooms—each with its own en-suite shower room and toilet—as well as a third guest bedroom, which has a private shower room and toilet located just off the landing.
This property offers great flexibility in how it can be utilized:
OPTION 1: Section 1 can serve as a completely independent private residence of approximately 90 m² (by adding a small kitchen to the laundry area). This space could even be expanded to roughly 115 m² by incorporating half of the large living/dining area.
In this configuration, Section 2 would be dedicated to hosting guests, offering three guest bedrooms, with the generous communal areas providing the perfect setting for hosting guest dinners ( table d'hôtes ). VERSION 2: Alternatively, you could dedicate Part 1 to hosting guests by creating a family-friendly holiday rental (gîte), while keeping Part 2 for your own private use.

Naturally, a third, hybrid option (VERSION 3) is also possible. This reflects how the property is currently used: as a traditional guesthouse with shared living spaces.

This versatile property is set within a beautiful garden, thoughtfully laid out with various areas for relaxation (a large 50 m² wooden terrace and a small gazebo), DIY projects (a substantial 26 m² wooden chalet on a concrete slab), gardening (a magnificent 16 m² metal-and-glass greenhouse), and even space for feathered friends (various aviaries) or aquatic life (a pond that requires resealing).
The grounds also include a parking area, complete with a carport large enough to easily accommodate a motorhome.

Location and Business Potential
It would be hard to get any closer to Chambord—a point your guests will surely mention time and again! The same applies to cyclists, who can take advantage of the 'Châteaux by Bike' (Châteaux à Vélo) routes that pass through the local area.
Guests will also enjoy easy access to Blois and the Château de Cheverny (less than 30 minutes away), Chaumont-sur-Loire (45 minutes away), and even the renowned Beauval Zoo (less than an hour away).
The current business operation is modest—a deliberate choice by the retired owners.

My Take
Steeped in the aura of the most-visited Loire Valley château, this property offers a fantastic opportunity to run a tourist accommodation business, all while enjoying the gentle, relaxed pace of life in the Sologne region.
