    Castle Pouancé (49)

    Ref.4918 : 19th-C. château and outbuildings set on 16 acres, on the borders of Anjou and Brittany Located on the border between Brittany and Anjou, in the historic Haut-Anjou region within the present-day Maine-et-Loire department, this charming château stands on the edge of a small town offering a full range of amenities and shops. It enjoys excellent road connections, being conveniently situated midway between Rennes and Angers. Paris is 340 km away. Pouancé has a rich historical past, centred around its 13th-century castle. It originally grew up around the village of Saint Aubin. A hotly contested area between the Franks and the Bretons, Pepin the Great created the first march of Brittany to contain the Breton invasions. The second march was created by Charles the Bald, which included Pouancé. This gave rise to the first seigneury. A feudal motte was then created and the Middle Ages saw the town develop with its renowned forges and imposing fortress. The town is a real horse-riding centre, with the Centre d'Entrainement de Galop de l'Ouest (CERGO). Pouancé and the surrounding area boasts a wide range of quality restaurants and accommodation. Originally built in 1840 as a villa, the château was enlarged in 1900 with the addition of two wings, giving the property its present château-like appearance. Constructed of rendered schist rubble stone, it features dressed tuffeau stone and brick surrounds to the windows and doors, together with matching quoins and central projecting bay. Facing north-south, the château offers approximately 375 sqm of living accommodation.

Half landing: WC with wash basin (6.5 sqm). Second floor: landing leading to four bedrooms (22 sqm, 22 sqm, 19 sqm and 19 sqm), together with two bathrooms, each with WC. A full basement extends beneath the entire château and is accessible from both inside and outside the property. The house has retained a wealth of original architectural features that enhance its elegance and character, including Louis XIV and Louis XV style marble fireplaces, herringbone oak parquet flooring, decorative ceiling roses, ornate moulded ceilings, cast-iron heating grilles, and many other period details. The outbuildings comprise: A/ A caretaker's cottage requiring restoration, comprising a living room (47 sqm) on the ground floor and two bedrooms (15 sqm and 28 sqm) on the first floor. Lean-to storage sheds, including a WC. B/ Stables, extended to the north by an annex building in poor condition, offering 38 sqm on each level. No water or electricity supply. Storage sheds to the south. C/ A building used as garages. D/ A shed used for tractor storage. E/ A kennel. F/ A well. The grounds comprise a collection of parkland and pasture parcels, offering a variety of potential uses for the enjoyment of future owners, particularly as grazing land for animals, complemented by the outbuildings.

    Manor Saumur (49)

    Ref 4917: Manor house and holiday cottages for sale near Saumur This elegant property is situated on the outskirts of the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Nature Park, not far from Saumur, in a charming village surrounded by unspoiled countryside featuring a mix of vineyards, farmland, and woodlands. As a result, it enjoys a prime location in the heart of a region prized for its heritage and lifestyle. Saumur, with its castle, markets, and tuffeau-stone houses, is about a 25-minute drive away. All around, fortified towns, abbeys, picturesque villages, cave dwellings, and vineyards make up one of the most varied and charming cultural landscapes in the Loire Valley. Its location in a rural setting offers the tranquility of seclusion without sacrificing the conveniences of daily life. A bakery, grocery store, and essential shops are just a six-minute drive away, while a nearby town with supermarkets, healthcare providers, schools, and restaurants is about a ten-minute drive away. Easily accessible from Paris via major highways and located a reasonable distance from Angers, Nantes, Tours, and Poitiers, the property is also about fifteen minutes from a TER train station and about twenty-five minutes from a TGV station. This combination of tranquility, appeal to tourists, and accessibility gives the location undeniable advantages that make it well-suited for a variety of projects, whether personal and/or professional. As a result, families and investors alike will find it thoroughly satisfying. Built in the early 19th century, this manor house features an elegant, classically inspired design. The main building, set slightly above ground level, has a symmetrical façade with three bays across three stories topped with slate roofing, resting on a base of exposed local stone, and is flanked by two small wings that provide additional living space. The lime-plastered facades are punctuated by harped corner string courses and generous tuffeau stone window frames, whose arched pediments lend relief and grandeur to the overall design. A modillion cornice highlights the base of a tall, stepped slate roof, enlivened by three ornate dormers—two side oculi framing a central dormer—and punctuated by ridge finials. The courtyard-facing facade opens in the center with a stone staircase and faces a main courtyard arranged around a fountain. At the rear, the main building’s facade is finished with a pinkish stucco and overlooks a vast lean-to roof covered with canal tiles that is built against it, thus forming a link between the house and the garden. The contrast between slate, tiles, stucco, and tuffeau stone creates a silhouette that is both elegant and warm, typical of the style of the lavish bourgeois residences of that era and of the fusion of the architectural traditions of Anjou and Poitou. The interior spaces of this residence, with a living area of approximately 250 sqm, are laid out as follows: On the ground floor, an entry hall featuring a beautiful staircase with wooden balusters leads, on one side, to a formal living room, and on the other, to a dining room adjoining a large kitchen, followed by an office and a laundry room/restroom. This level extends from the kitchen to the covered terrace under a lean-to roof, providing the manor with a vast additional living space. This area itself leads to a vaulted cellar and to the right wing of the manor, which includes a restroom, a reception room with a “winemaker’s counter” offering direct access to the pool area, a boiler room, and a laundry room. On this floor, you’ll find polychromatic ceramic tile floors and herringbone parquet, ornate wooden trim and picture rails, splendid tuffeau stone and marble fireplaces, and molded or exposed-beam ceilings. On the first floor, a landing leads to two bedrooms, a walk-in closet, and a comfortable bathroom. As on the ground floor, this level features hardwood floors and beautiful marble fireplaces. The right wing of the manor house includes a third bedroom accessible via an outdoor staircase and a wooden deck; together with its open kitchen and bathroom, it forms a separate studio that can also serve as an annex guesthouse.

The property includes several outbuildings that perfectly complement the estate and offer significant flexibility in use. They are arranged as follows: - Four fully operational vacation rentals, equipped to a high standard of comfort, plus the independent studio in the right wing of the manor, have been converted from charming historic outbuildings. - A spacious barn featuring a mezzanine workshop and a storage shed. - A storage shed and a woodshed adjoining the barn. - A utility room with a laundry area and a restroom. - A garden shed with storage space and a carport used as a garage. - A garden gazebo.

Located on the cycle routes:  “Châteaux à vélo” and “La Loire à vélo” it is ideally placed and configured for business exploitation in this area where demand is high and current supply limited. An ideal opportunity to enhance and improve on the work already carried out by the current owners creating possibly a large hotel complex if desired. Roughly 1000sqm of living space over its three floors. The formal entrance hall has plenty of natural light and is large and welcoming providing natural distribution to the owners private apartment (lounge, small kitchen, bedroom and bathroom) along with the breakfast hall and kitchen on the ground floor. The 17th century stone and iron staircase leads to the upper floors. The first floor is double depth and home to the library and music room, the reception hall of 150sqm (140 person seated capacity) with views over the front park. Cloakroom facilities (Male, female and wheelchair access) and former directors apartment including office space, bathroom, etc. Central corridor leading to direct upper lawn access along with a service kitchen.

The second floor houses the finished guest bedrooms, two suites and 3 bedrooms with each one its bathroom along with a unique “reverse boat hull” reception room by the renaissance architect Philibert Delorme from the 16th century and various other rooms awaiting renovation. Outbuildings : Over 3000sqm of useable space in the large number of outbuildings, some of which have been sympathetically improved to provide reception halls (250 person seated) and accommodation but there remains more volumes left to be exploited…. The possibility to create a 50 plus bedroom hotel complex would compliment the existing reception halls comfortably. The owners’ offices and staff accommodation are independent from the chateau and permits a calm work environment. Today the property boasts 3 guests lodges in addition to the rooms within the chateau itself. Each lodge is self-contained and offers between 4 and 12 bedrooms. The remaining outbuildings have over 25 existing bedrooms, various classrooms, office space, etc. etc. An impressive vaulted underground room, renamed the “Crypt”, was refurbished in the 1930s when the property was used as a holiday camp. The estate covers over 16 hectares (40 acres) and is enclosed and private. The current formal entrance is gated and offers shaded parking within the courtyard surrounded by the majority of the outbuildings.. The park itself combines formal lawns with several hundred-year-old specimen trees, a large vegetable garden covering roughly 1 hectare (2.5 acres) still partially used today. The rest of the estate is woodland with numerous paths and tracks within. There is ample space to add pools, tennis courts, etc. etc. if required.

    Property Limoges (87)

    Réf. 4915 : Charming property in Vienne department Surrounded by its extensive grounds overlooking the Vienne valley, the property enjoys a semi-rural setting whilst benefiting from all the services and amenities offered by a major city. This rural spot is less than 5 km from Limoges, the capital of the Limousin region. Best known for its long tradition of porcelain-making, Limoges is also renowned as a city of history and culture, a leading university centre and a major economic hub in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Crossed by the A20 motorway – ‘L’Occitane’ – the city is a popular stopover for northern Europeans travelling to Spain. In addition to the motorway, access is easy: Limoges-Bénédictins railway station, a listed historic monument, offers connections to Paris or Toulouse in three and a half hours. Limoges Bellegarde Airport, less than 15 minutes from the property, operates regular flights to Paris, Ajaccio, Lyon, Marseille, Marrakech, London, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester and the Midlands. The house is set back from the small road leading to it. The entrance is through a Flemish-style door opening onto a tree-lined forecourt. A straight, cobbled path then leads up to the front steps of the house. Beneath its hipped roof covered with Roman tiles, the building is a regular rectangular prism. The east-facing façade, comprising five fairly narrow bays, is two storeys high. The windows are soberly decorated with carved lintels beneath the extrados, whilst, on the first storey of the central bay, a half-door with a monumental frame lends the house its distinctive character. The jambs, in the form of fluted columns, support a lintel with an entablature, at the centre of which is an oblong oculus. Above this, a winged pediment bears an inscription plaque. On the ground floor, after climbing the three steps leading up, you enter a remarkable tiled entrance hall featuring a beautiful ceramic stove. In line with this, the dining room opens onto the grounds through two large French windows. The wide-plank ladder-board parquet flooring here is characteristic of the Limousin region. It can be found throughout the house. At the far end of this room is access to a ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Back in the dining room, on the right-hand side, is the large sitting room, the heart of the house’s private living area, featuring panelling and a period fireplace. From this sitting room, a door leads to a small private chapel and then, via a service corridor containing a toilet, to the living room. Back in the entrance hall, on the left, there is access to the old kitchen with its 17th-century fireplace, a pantry and a small, functional kitchen. The staircase then leads to a half-level with ample storage space. On the first floor, just as on the ground floor, a central room provides access to all the other rooms via small corridors running around the perimeter. This floor is therefore centred on the library, with its beautiful lattice-work cupboards. Through these corridors, there is access to the five bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room and toilet. Another shower room is yet to be finished. The property has a total living area of 464 square metres. The attic, lit by skylights, has a floor area of approximately 230 square metres. Outbuildings : In addition to the main house, there is an old farmhouse at the entrance to the property, as well as a dovecote, both of which were built before 1814. The farmhouse is of the ‘bloc’ type, comprising a large barn, stables and a living quarter. The complex is currently used as outbuildings and garages. The farmer’s living quarters could be converted into a caretaker’s house or a holiday cottage. A number of small outbuildings complete the complex. The grounds, covering an area of approximately 43 acres, comprise extensive cultivated meadows sloping gently down towards the Vienne valley. At the top of these meadows, the house was built on a plinth, extended by a raised platform crowned by a vast terrace. Leading off this terrace, a tree-lined promenade, in the 18th-century style, runs the length of the park. On the other side of the house, the entrance is through a Flemish-style gate flanked by two pillars. Between this gate and the house lies a tree-lined area that provides both privacy and a sense of perspective on the house.

    House Langeais (37)

    Ref.4914 : 15th- and 16th-C. period home with outbuildings set in 19.8 acres or 73 acres A quiet location a short drive from the popular market town of Langeais. At one with the nature surrounded by woodland and pastures. An idyllic retreat for family and friends to enjoy quality time in this time forgotten setting. In keeping with the traditional layout of 15th- and 16th-C. manor houses, the principal reception rooms were located on the first floor, while the ground floor was originally reserved for domestic activities, including food preparation and the storage of provisions. Today, the ground floor comprises a spacious period room, now divided into two areas. The principal section, extending to approximately 40 sqm, has been arranged as a sitting room. It retains all of its original character, with tiled floors, exposed stone walls, ancient beams and an impressive period fireplace, whose mantel still bears traces of a painted coat of arms. The second section, measuring approximately 18 sqm and accessed via a corridor, is currently fitted out as a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom. Beyond this lies a games room of approximately 35 sqm, preserving both its original bread oven and pastry oven, ingeniously built beneath a stone staircase. A small passage leads to a storage room housing the current hot water cylinder. An original wooden door opens onto the entrance hall, which features a second staircase leading to the first floor. The ground floor is completed by the former goat shed, extending to approximately 28 sqm and accessed directly from outside. It is now used as a workshop and benefits from a loft above. On the first floor is the principal reception room, an elegant dual-aspect sitting room of approximately 40 sqm. It features tuffeau stone walls, an open fireplace, traditional terracotta floor tiles and an exposed beam ceiling. A practical kitchenette of approximately 9 sqm is directly accessible from this room. Also on this floor, a corridor leads to a bathroom, a bedroom divided into two areas (7.8 sqm and 13 sqm, separated by a lightweight partition), and a spacious principal bedroom of approximately 52 sqm, enjoying triple-aspect windows and a remarkable period fireplace. On the top floor, the attic is arranged over two separate areas (33 sqm and 50 sqm). Offering excellent potential for conversion, it benefits from generous ceiling height and an impressive exposed timber roof structure. OUTBUILDINGS : Four former « goat sheds » are now used for storage. The former kennels, located at the end of the building, provide additional storage space. Overlooking the pond, a round tower, whose origins remain uncertain, is one of the estate's most distinctive features. It appears to have been conceived more as an ornamental architectural feature than as a dovecote, although its splayed openings may suggest an original defensive purpose. The tower contains a circular room measuring approximately 4.2 m in diameter on the ground floor, with a second room of identical dimensions above. GROUNDS : The property extends over more than 20 acres (8 hectares) (Article 1), with the land being mainly contiguous and comprising woodland, shrubland, pastures, a pond and gardens surrounding the buildings. Access to the property is via a bridge, and the main house overlooks a gated courtyard, enjoying views over the pond and the surrounding pastures. A further 52 acres (21 hectares) (Article 2) may be acquired in addition. Located on the opposite side of the lane, this land consists mainly of woodland (19.7 acres (8 hectares) of pine, 4.9 acres (2 hectares) of acacia, with the remainder predominantly made up of 40- to 60-year-old oak trees), together with areas of shrubland. It also includes substantial remains of a former farmhouse. With this additional lot, the total land area available amounts to just over 73 acres (29 hectares). Option to purchase in addition: 52 acres (21 ha 04 a 98 ca) (Article 2) PRICE : Article 1 : 20 acres (8 ha 18 a 35 ca) - €480.000 Article 2 : 73 acres (29 ha 23 a 33 ca) - €745.000 Cabinet LE NAIL – Touraine - Loire Valley – M.

    Property with garden Argentan (61)

    Ref 4916: Elegant, stately Norman residence situated 14 km from Argentan This elegant Norman manor house is situated at the northern tip of the Orne department, on the border with Calvados, from which it is separated by just a few leagues. Set apart from a village of some 530 inhabitants, it enjoys a pleasant rural setting, featuring a wooded park bordered by a small river running along the edge of the property. Day-to-day needs can be met in the nearby village, which has a mini-market, whilst the towns of Argentan and Falaise, equidistant from the property, offer additional shops and services. Major roads, motorways and rail links are nearby, allowing you to reach the capital in under three hours. A wealth of leisure activities (hiking, climbing, canoeing, horse riding, fishing, golf, cycle paths…) abound amongst the remarkable sites of the nearby ‘Normandy Switzerland’. Modest in size, yet imbued with an authenticity that echoes centuries past, this property exudes charm through its simplicity… drawing the passing guest into an irresistible vision of life. The main building features a quadrangular stone structure, rising four storeys high, topped by a hipped roof of flat tiles. A monumental chimney and a chimney breast lend the whole building a sense of balance and harmony, thereby breaking up the austerity of the architecture. A spiral staircase beautifully complements the north façade. Arrow slits serve as a reminder of the building’s defensive nature, whilst the mullioned windows bear witness to the first alterations carried out as early as the 17th century. The whole is a coherent, charming and authentic ensemble… a beautiful chapter in history… a fine example of Normandy’s rich heritage. With a living area of 161 sqm, the house is laid out as follows: Ground floor: main entrance on the south-west façade, opening onto a tiled living/dining room with a fan-vaulted ceiling, featuring a monumental stone fireplace incorporating an old bread oven. The keystone is carved with three fish. High ceilings at 3 metres. Access to a small guardhouse on the mezzanine level via a curious, very narrow stone staircase. A beautiful spiral staircase leads up to the upper floors. A toilet and washbasin have been fitted in the lower section of this staircase. A small kitchen adjoins the living area. On the first floor: large living area currently used as a workshop. Original terracotta floor tiles, wood panelling, exposed joists. Small adjoining bedroom (8 sqm) with a fireplace, adjoining a bathroom. Ceiling height 3.14 m. On the second floor: a bedroom with wooden flooring, a stone fireplace, a bookcase and internal shutters. En-suite shower room with toilet. Ceiling height: 2.55 metres. On the third floor: a room with wooden flooring, converted from the loft into a living room, bedroom and study. Exposed cathedral-style roof trusses. Ridge height 3.28 m. Water supply connection. Insulation. The property has only one small outbuilding, originally built of stone but now reinforced with concrete blocks. The roof is covered with small tiles. The whole structure covers an area of around 30 sqm. This small outbuilding houses all the utility facilities for the main house (boiler room, washing machines, workshop and storage room). The property enjoys a rural setting, where the landscape is naturally landscaped, with three-hundred-year-old oaks, chestnut trees and ash trees growing side by side… not to mention the inevitable apple trees… or the rather unexpected kiwi trees. ‘La Gronde’ stream runs partly around the property, offering enthusiasts a peaceful spot for fishing. The property retains its privacy thanks to the old vegetable garden wall, which shields it from any view from the neighbourhood. A winding path runs along the edge of this lush plot, covering nearly 50 ares, guiding the guest towards the exit. No particular nuisances or easements disturb the serenity of this mysterious, resolutely discreet residence.

    House Argentan (61)

    Réf. 4754 : Beautiful country house for sale near Argentan This elegant Norman residence is located at the northern edge of the Orne department, on the threshold of neighbouring Calvados, from which it is separated by only a few leagues. Set on the outskirts of a small market town of some 530 inhabitants, it enjoys a pleasant rural environment, punctuated by a tree-filled park partially bordered by water-filled moats. Everyday necessities are available within the village itself, which offers a local convenience store, while the towns of Falaise and Argentan, equidistant from the property, provide a wider range of shops and services. Road, motorway and rail links are all close at hand, allowing access to the capital in under three hours. A wealth of leisure activities—including hiking, climbing, canoeing, horse riding, fishing, golf and cycling along greenways—can be enjoyed throughout the remarkable sites of nearby “Norman Switzerland”. Human in scale yet offering multiple possibilities for extension limited only by the imagination, this property, rich in authenticity and understated elegance, lends itself equally well to private or professional projects, whether as a permanent residence or a country retreat. The property remains true to its origins, as evidenced by the sobriety and symmetry of its façades, which reflect an architectural quality worthy of the Grand Siècle. Built over three levels around a central entrance framed by two pilasters, and topped with a four-pitched tiled roof featuring an elegant pediment crowned with a finial, the main body reveals local stone construction coated with a striking and unusual “remarkable charcoal-rendered finish”. The openings are arranged in regular bays, of generous proportions, and fitted with shutters. The façades are perfectly symmetrical. It should be noted that the south-facing façade was most likely the original formal entrance, given the sculpted decorative elements adorning the doorway. Nevertheless, the ornamental garden is located on the north side, thus reversing the traditional layout. The main residence is flanked by two adjoining buildings of lesser height: one possibly intended as staff accommodation, the other originally dedicated to cider production. Offering an internal surface area of approximately 334 sqm, the main house is laid out as follows: Basement: A certain Bacchus would not have overlooked it: the basement is limited to a small wine cellar. Ground floor: A natural entrance on the north-east side, arranged in “double depth”, also allowing access from the south-west. North-East side: Entrance hall leading, on the right, to a small wood-panelled sitting room/library with a fine stone fireplace featuring an overmantel; generous ceiling height with exposed joists. On the left, access to a dining room with terracotta floor tiles, panelling, and a fireplace with an overmantel. South-West side: Entrance hall with a stone staircase. To the right, a kitchen with terracotta floor tiles, a monumental stone fireplace, and generous ceiling height with exposed joists. To the left, a large drawing room with tiled flooring in a cabochon style, a marble fireplace with overmantel, and painted wood panelling. Access to the upper floor is via an elegant stone staircase with wooden balustrades, leading to a landing and arrival area paved with terracotta tiles. The ceiling height on this level reaches an impressive 3.30 metres. First floor: A landing leads to four bedrooms of approximately 20 sqm each, with terracotta tiles or parquet flooring and exposed beams. Each features a stone fireplace with an overmantel. One of the bedrooms adjoins a storage room set beneath the eaves. There is a separate bathroom and WC on this level. One of the bedrooms provides a connection to the adjoining wing of the house via a staircase, leading to a half-landing and a small apartment comprising a bedroom, an ancillary room and a shower room with WC. Second floor: Accessible via a miller’s ladder, this level offers a vast convertible attic made up of three rooms of almost identical proportions, separated by load-bearing walls. Exposed roof trusses, insulated intermediate joists, existing electrical installation, and floors of cob or timber boarding complete this level, which offers significant potential for further development. Outbuildings : Adjoining the main residence, a small stone outbuilding under a tiled roof comprises, on the ground floor, a technical room of approximately 60 sq m housing the oil-fired boiler, the heat pump, electrical panels and the hot water cylinder. The upper floor has been converted into a self-contained apartment. 1/ A large barn of 112 sqm, featuring a “cathedral-style” roof structure, adjoins a former cider press measuring approximately 56 sqm. 2/ A row of three small stone outbuildings under tiled roofs, respectively used as: a fruit store (6 sqm), a byre (15 sqm), stables (22 sqm). 3/ A fine stone barn under a tiled roof, aligned with the main residence, currently used as a hangar (44 sqm) and garages (72 sqm). A miller’s staircase leads to a full-length attic above. The potential offered by the outbuildings is considerable, providing a wealth of possibilities likely to appeal to the most creative or ambitious projects. The welcoming main entrance, located to the North-East, is both understated and elegant, immediately revealing the harmony of an English-style landscaped park. From here, the eye is drawn in the distance to the fine proportions of this noble residence and its neighbouring outbuildings. No tree is left to the imagination, as all are present: sequoia, American red oak, maple, poplar, weeping beech, bald cypress, larch, lime, tulip tree, magnolia, liquidambar and pine, not to mention several fruit trees including walnut, plum and pear. The park features flower beds, bamboo, natural hedges and extends as far as the terraces of the house, attractively enhanced by hydrangeas. Beautiful water-filled moats, stone-lined and fed by natural springs, complete the setting, partially encircling the park. A charming former washhouse punctuates the natural course of the banks, also serving as an overflow outlet. Carp and eels share this aquatic haven. The South-facing façade is more restrained, structured around the outbuildings and remnants of old walls recalling the former presence of agricultural buildings that likely did not survive the ravages of war. It is worth noting the presence of what is now referred to as a “service” entrance, benefiting from a favourable right of way for the property. This entrance provides access to all the outbuildings. Set within a landholding of approximately 2.47 acres, the property offers the appeal of a verdant, open and charming landscape, while keeping maintenance requirements within a reasonable and manageable scope.
