Character Stone House with Exceptional Troglodyte Caves & Wine Cellar
A truly unique Loire Valley property combining French village charm with an extraordinary troglodyte wine cave.
Set in the heart of the Loire Valley, close to Saumur, this charming stone house sits in Berrie, a village renowned for its wine-making tradition. The 59m² house offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a welcoming open-plan living space, with an enclosed garden and stone outbuilding.
Beneath the property lies an impressive network of troglodyte caves, used by the current owner for wine-making and storage. With atmospheric vaulted chambers, wine barrels and bottle storage, and a spectacular double-height entrance perfect for gatherings and tastings, this is a property with real soul and character. An exceptional opportunity for anyone dreaming of a home in France with a connection to the Loire's wine heritage.
The house offers approximately 59m² of living space and retains plenty of traditional character. On the ground floor is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, with stairs leading to the first floor, together with a bathroom / laundry room. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a WC with space for a shower.
The property has a lovely enclosed garden and a two-storey stone outbuilding. The first floor is currently used as an office, while the upper level offers the possibility of creating additional living accommodation. There is also potential, subject to planning permission, to connect the outbuilding with the main house.
The real highlight, however, lies beneath the property.
An extensive network of troglodyte caves runs beneath the house and land, currently used by the owner, a winemaker, for wine production and storage. The caves have electricity and running water, with concrete flooring and lime-washed walls in parts. They include an office, store room, dedicated bottle storage and areas for wine barrels.
The impressive double-height entrance chamber is particularly special and creates a dramatic and atmospheric space that could be ideal for wine tastings, private dinners, celebrations, events or simply entertaining friends.
The property therefore offers far more than a traditional village house. It combines a characterful two-bedroom home with an extraordinary underground wine complex and the potential to develop further accommodation or a businesss project, subject to the necessary permissions.
Berrie is a village with a strong wine-making tradition, surrounded by the vineyards and characterful villages of the Loire Valley. Its proximity to Saumur adds to the appeal, offering easy access to the area's renowned wine estates, châteaux, restaurants and attractions.
A truly unusual Loire Valley property, perfect for someone looking for character, entertaining space, business possibility and the opportunity to create something unique.
