The Loire Valley feels like stepping into a timeless world of castles and fairytales. Known as the Garden of France, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is famed for its historic châteaux and gardens, and is the former residences of French aristocracy dating back to the 9th century. This rich history is reflected in the region’s opulent estates, exquisite French dining, and a plethora of outdoor pursuits, cultural attractions and scenic sights. The region, revered for its natural beauty, is nurtured by the Loire River, which sustains the surrounding Sologne Forest and rolling vineyards, while offering a wide variety of activities on the water.
In the heart of this lush paradise, just 90 minutes from Paris, lies Les Bordes Estate, a private lifestyle community that epitomises elegance and exclusivity.

Winding nature trails meander through the estate, lead to serene lakes and tranquil woodlands, perfect for both biking and leisurely strolls.
Les Bordes Estate is deeply intertwined with the rich history and culture of the Loire Valley, seamlessly blending the old with the new.

Nearby, the white- sand beach, natural swimming lake and boating lake are the perfect diversion during the summer months.
For those seeking to maximise the outdoor lifestyle, the estate is a playground for the whole family. Offering equestrian facilities and a variety of sports, such as tennis, padel, pickleball, basketball, football, and electric go-karting – there’s no shortage of exhilarating ways to unwind. And for moments of pure tranquillity, homeowners can indulge in a sunset treatment at the idyllic lakeside spa, or even try their hand at fishing.
At the heart of the estate is Les Bordes Golf Club, featuring two internationally-acclaimed 18-hole championship courses, and a 10-hole short course. Designed by Robert von Hagge, the enchanting tree- lined layout of the Old Course, with its lakes and island greens, is consistently ranked as one of Europe’s greatest.
The contrasting New Course, created by Gil Hanse, plays firm and fast with wide playing corridors framed by heather. Since opening in 2021, it has received numerous accolades, including being ranked in the ‘Top 100 Courses in the World’ by Golf Magazine.
