Bargain £87,000 French home boasts an underground wine cave in the heart of the Loire Valley
A bargain two-bedroom home in France's picturesque Loire Valley has gone on the market for just £87,000 – but its biggest selling point is hiding beneath the ground.
House hunters dreaming of a slice of the French countryside could snap up an idyllic stone property for just £87,000 – and it comes with a rather extraordinary bonus.
The charming two-bedroom home, measuring 635sqft, is tucked away in Berrie, a picturesque village in the heart of the Loire Valley, an area famed for its centuries-old winemaking tradition.
At £87,770, the property costs just a fraction of what buyers might pay for a one-bedroom flat in London, where prices can reach a staggering £500,000. But while its attractive stone exterior and peaceful village setting are sure to catch the eye, it is what lies beneath the property that really makes this bargain stand out.
The house comes with an extensive network of underground caves, currently used by the owner for wine production and storage. And this is no ordinary cellar. The impressive subterranean space benefits from electricity, running water, an office and dedicated storage areas for wine bottles and barrels, making it a dream find for anyone with a passion for winemaking.
Even better, the striking entrance chamber could be transformed into a spectacular venue for wine tastings, intimate private dinners or celebrations with friends and family.
Back above ground, the property also boasts an enclosed garden and a two-storey outbuilding, offering additional space and plenty of potential for new owners. With its traditional French character, enviable location and unusual underground facilities, the home offers a rare opportunity to embrace the good life without spending a fortune.
The property is currently on the market with estate agents Leggett Immobilier International.
