17th Century Chateau with farmhouse, groom's cottage and swimming pool set on 78 acres gardens and grassland with many outbuildings including stables. The property is situated just 4 kilometres from the town of Richelieu in the Loire/Touraine region of France. Richelieu is a thriving community and the town has a number of bars, restaurants, shops, medical services and supermarkets. The larger town of Chinon is around 20 kilometres distant. Here, very comprehensive facilities are available. Richelieu, was constructed by the Cardinal of the same name in the 17th century. The cardinal, of course, was the 'baddie' in the 'Three Musketeers' by Alexandre Dumas, but in reality he was a great patron of the arts, an accomplished scientist and social reformer. The town, devised entirely by him, was the first ever grid iron town to be constructed and indeed when New York was built, the American town planners visited Richelieu to see for themselves the practicalities of such town design. Richelieu is 25 kilometres from the motorway junction taking you North to Paris (300 kms) and south to Bordeaux (317kms). The major towns of Tours and Poitiers are respectively (62kms) and (65kms). From each of these towns there are regular (daily during the summer) flights to London Stansted and TGV services to Paris. The typical time between Tours and Paris Montparnasse is 1.02 hours.) These trains continue from Paris to Charles de Gaulle airport with its extensive international flight services. h2. The Chateau h3.

HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY There is not an awful lot of history known about the chateau although it is clear that the property was constructed in three different eras starting in the 17th century and finishing in the 18th century. There is a portrait above the fireplace in one of the studies which will remain at the property after the sale which is reputed to be a portrait of the eminent cardinal's mistress. Folklore or reality, it is a fun story! What is clear, is that the building to the right of Lady Pichardiere, is the original (and still existing) part of the existing building before its later additions. h2. GARDENS AND GROUNDS The chateau is approached via a track that winds until it turns into the kilometre long tree lined drive leading up to the chateau. On each side of the drive are the post and rail fenced paddocks. On the left hand side of the drive is the small lake and boathouse which probably started its life as the washhouse. The remaining land lies behind and to the south of the chateau and is made up of large lawned areas with many mature trees. There are some super cedar trees, mature walnut trees and in the orchard a wide selection of fruit trees. The swimming pool is hidden in a secluded area behind one of the outbuildings. The current owners have planted an abundance of rose trees around the swimming pool area which give an array of colour throughout the swimming months. h3. Summary: * Chateau dating from 17th Century * Residential or commercial opportunities * Currently horse training establishment * Chateau, farmhouse, groom's cottage * 78 acres gardens and grassland

"Maussabr" was the name of an ancestor, a knight who was mutilated during the crusades and whose companions then called "le mal sabr" (badly hacked with a sabre) which later became Maussabr. The castle was first mentioned in 1234, probable date of its construction, in the archives of the city of Tours. Refurbished during the Renaissance, its decorative elements reveal the magnificence of the period, as shown, for instance, in the exceptional bands containing the medallions. The slate roof is in perfect condition and has been regularly checked and repaired in true traditional manner. It also contains handsome architectural elements, typical of the Renaissance. The castle still has many traces of the 13th century. One can imagine the battles against the Saracens in the two defence towers, the machicolations and the rampart walks, with en-corbelled brattices and murder holes. Upon request more details and pictures are available.
