Enjoying its own private swimming pool, this lovely restored farmhouse is set among open countryside of sunflowers and melon fields, on the edge of a pretty village. The enclosed walled gardens of lawns and roses offer total privacy to enjoy the sun by the pool, or sit under the acacia tree for cool summer shade. The spacious well-equipped interior holds the charm of exposed beams, stonework and large open fireplaces. La Touche is surrounded by great cycling and walking country, and it is only a short stroll to the village shop for morning croissants. Visit the beautiful châteaux and historic sites of the Loire valley with Saumur, Chinon and Fontevraud Abbey all within a 30 minute drive. Families can enjoy Futuroscope and Doue zoo less than an hour away. Golf available nearby.
