Primarily looking after our two energetic medium sized dogs with a morning walk of approximately 3-5 kilometers over the rolling countryside surrounding our home. Feeding the dogs morning and evening as well as our cat and lots of love and cuddles. After their morning walk our dogs are happy to sleep and relax for most of the day, although they do like a second shorter walk before their evening meal. Light gardening work including cutting the grass on a sit on lawnmower (once a week) which takes about an hour. Emptying the letter box.
In a picturesque rural setting our large 17th century stone house (originally a barn) has all mod cons (including WiFi). The low maintenance country garden of approximately one acre with lawn, trees and terraces overlooks rolling fields and has an above ground salt water pool. We are a few minutes stroll from our local village with a restaurant and the nearest town with all amenities banks, post office, restaurants, supermarket, pharmacy, etc. is 5 minutes by car. The beautiful medieval town of Loches is only 15 minutes away and the city of Tours (the capital of the Tourraine) is 45 minutes by car. We are within easy driving distance of the most famous chateaus situated in the Loire Valley. During the summer months there are many brocantes (antique fair’s), street markets and village fete’s throughout the region.
