In Touraine, a gîte for sale in Indre-et-Loire (37) benefits from the worldwide fame of the Loire châteaux and a well-known wine region. Chenonceau, Amboise and the Clos Lucé, Villandry and its gardens, Azay-le-Rideau, Langeais, Ussé, Chinon and Loches can all be visited in a few days, within a Loire Valley listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Vouvray, Montlouis, Chinon and Bourgueil wines, Sainte-Maure goat's cheese and cave-dwelling villages draw French and international guests from spring to autumn.
Properties here are often large: many-roomed houses split between a main home and gîtes, estates combining chambres d'hôtes and gîtes, and old farms that can also host events. The page is for buyers after a house with gîte, investors taking over a trading gîte complex and owners preparing to sell. Keep up with new properties through an email alert (in French).

Indre-et-Loire is the most expensive department in the region for a country house: a median of €180,000 in 2025, and €195,190 over 2020-2025 in rural communes within reach of Tours and other towns. For a gîte property, the useful benchmark is the large-home market: a median of €690,000 over 2021-2025, eight sales in ten between €416,600 and €1,164,000, and €1,944/m², the highest level in Centre-Val de Loire. A gîte estate close to the major châteaux logically sits towards the top of that range.
The Loire itself, from Amboise through Tours towards Langeais, has the busiest sites, the Vouvray and Montlouis vineyards, steady demand and the highest prices. The Cher valley around Chenonceaux and Bléré shares the same guests. In the west, the Chinon and Bourgueil area combines vineyards, Chinon's fortress and the Vienne valley, next to the Loire-Anjou-Touraine regional nature park. In the south, the Loches area, the Indre valley and the Sainte-Maure plateau are more rural and more affordable. Access is a strength: Saint-Pierre-des-Corps high-speed station links Tours with Paris, the A10, A85 and A28 motorways meet around Tours, and Tours airport has some European flights.
Touraine houses are built of tuffeau, a soft pale limestone, under slate roofs, and many properties include cellars and rooms cut into the hillside. Tuffeau suffers from damp and caves need a stability check: underground cavities appear in the risk report of many communes. In the valley, the levees reduce but do not remove the Loire flood risk, and flood-prevention plans restrict building. Each unit is a meublé de tourisme (furnished holiday let): since the law of 19 November 2024, a national online service issues a registration number, councils have more powers and energy performance requirements are being phased in (see the new holiday-let rules, in French). For tax on rental income, our article on gîte taxation (in French) is a starting point before seeing an accountant.
The median country house sold for €180,000 in 2025, with one sale in ten above €299,304. A property with several gîtes, a pool and grounds is closer to the large-home market, at a €690,000 median. Add notaire fees (the notary who handles the sale), furniture and compliance work, then test the numbers with our holiday rental simulator (in French).
Being close to Chenonceau, Amboise or Villandry lengthens the season and brings more foreign guests, but purchase prices and competition are higher. A gîte in the Loches area costs less and fills for a shorter period. Compare the asking price with actual revenue, not with the best season.
The sale follows the usual steps: a compromis de vente (preliminary contract), then the final deed before a notaire. If the seller hands over customers, website and future bookings, part of the price may be a fonds de commerce (business goodwill). Our gîte buying guide (in French) covers each step.
