FULLY RENOVATED LONGÈRE in Saumur, WITH INDEPENDENT Rental STUDIO, ON APPROX. 1,800 m² OF LAND

Renovated Loire Valley Longère Near Saumur with Independent Rental Studio Generating €8,000+ Per Year

10 minutes west of Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, Loire Valley, France

An attractive opportunity to acquire a renovated traditional French longère near Saumur, offering a spacious three-bedroom main residence, approximately 1,800 m² of enclosed landscaped gardens, a spacious carport (30m²), and a newly renovated, fully independent rental studio generating more than €8,000 per year in rental revenue.

Located in a small hamlet just 10 minutes west of Saumur, the property combines character, comfortable modern living and the valuable advantage of an established independent rental unit.

The location is particularly attractive for visitors connected with the renowned Saumur equestrian community, with the Hippodrome de Verrie and Verrie equestrian facilities nearby. This has helped make the independent studio a popular rental choice.

The property could therefore appeal equally to buyers searching for a permanent home in France, a Loire Valley second home, an equestrian property near Saumur, or a French home with existing rental income.

The Main House

The main residence has been renovated to create a comfortable and spacious home while retaining the character of a traditional Loire Valley longère.

At the centre of the house is a generous lounge and dining room, providing an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining.

One of the property’s distinctive architectural features is a bespoke made-to-measure iron staircase, adding a contemporary element to the traditional character of the house and leading to the first-floor accommodation.

Ground Floor

The ground floor comprises:

• Spacious lounge and dining room
• Fitted kitchen
• Ground-floor bedroom with fitted wardrobe
• Bathroom
• Separate laundry room
• Access to the terrace and garden

The presence of both a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor provides useful flexibility for visiting guests and for buyers who appreciate the option of ground-floor accommodation.

First Floor

The first floor offers:

• Two spacious bedrooms
• One dressing
• One bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom and wc
• Attractive mezzanine office area

The mezzanine provides an ideal space for working from home, reading or creating a separate study area without compromising the open feel of the property.

In total, the main house provides three bedrooms, including a ground-floor bedroom and a spacious en-suite bedroom upstairs.

Newly Renovated Independent Rental Studio (20m²)

A major feature of the property is the fully independent, newly renovated studio.

This is much more than occasional guest accommodation. It has been designed as a comfortable self-contained living space and is currently successfully operated as a rental property.

The studio includes:

• Spacious living area
• Fully fitted kitchen
• Newly renovated modern bathroom
• Private terraced outdoor area
• Dedicated parking space
• Independent accommodation separate from the main house

The studio currently generates more than €8,000 per year in rental revenue.*

Its independent layout allows rental guests to enjoy their own accommodation, outdoor space and parking while maintaining privacy for the occupants of the main house.

Established Rental Demand Near Saumur and Verrie

The studio has proved particularly popular because of its convenient location close to Saumur, the Hippodrome de Verrie and the area’s equestrian facilities.

Saumur is internationally associated with horses and equestrian activity, bringing visitors to the area throughout the year for competitions, training, racing and other events.

For a future owner wishing to continue the rental activity, the property therefore offers the considerable advantage of an existing and proven rental use, rather than simply having the potential to create a rental unit at a later date.

For purchasers who do not wish to rent the studio commercially, it would also make excellent independent accommodation for:

• Family and friends
• Visiting relatives
• Older children
• Longer-stay guests
• A home office or professional workspace

Garden

The property stands within approximately 1,800 m² of enclosed, landscaped and tree-filled grounds.

The garden contains a number of fruit trees, together with established planting and mature trees, creating an attractive and enjoyable outdoor environment.

There is generous space for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening and relaxation.

The studio has its own private terraced area, providing an important degree of separation between the guest accommodation and the main residence.

The property also benefits from a spacious double carport and two separate access points, including an entrance with an electric gate.

The independent studio has its own dedicated parking space, making it particularly practical for rental guests.

Energy-Efficient Heating and Hot Water

The house benefits from a pellet burner connected to the central heating system, providing comfortable radiator heating throughout the property.

An especially convenient feature is that the pellet heating system can be controlled remotely, allowing the owners to manage the temperature when away from the property.

This can be particularly useful for international buyers purchasing the house as a second home or for owners who travel regularly.

Domestic hot water is provided independently by an energy-efficient thermodynamic water heater, helping to keep hot-water costs low.

Current approximate annual expenditure is:

• Electricity: approximately €850 per year
• Pellets: approximately €650 per year
• Taxe Foncière / Property Tax (2025): €1,203

These figures reflect the present owners’ usage and are provided as a guide only.

The property is situated in a small hamlet approximately 10 minutes west of Saumur, in the Maine-et-Loire department of the Loire Valley.

Its location provides straightforward access to Saumur while allowing buyers to enjoy a more rural environment.

Saumur offers a wide range of everyday amenities including shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, markets, healthcare, schools and leisure facilities.

For international buyers, the wider area is particularly attractive for its combination of:

• Loire Valley châteaux and historic architecture
• Vineyards and wine-producing villages
• Equestrian sport and horsemanship
• Cycling and outdoor activities
• French gastronomy and local markets
• Historic towns and villages
• Accessible countryside living

The property is therefore well suited to buyers looking to relocate permanently to France as well as those searching for a second home in the Loire Valley.

Particularly Interesting for Equestrian Buyers

Saumur has a strong international reputation within the equestrian world, and the property’s proximity to Verrie, the Hippodrome de Verrie and surrounding equestrian facilities is an important aspect of its location.

The studio’s rental performance has benefited from this proximity, making the property particularly interesting for purchasers connected with equestrian activities or those wishing to retain the existing rental business.

The combination of Saumur tourism and equestrian-related visitor demand gives the studio a broader potential market than a conventional holiday rental relying solely on peak-season tourism.
