Castle Meslay-du-Maine (53)
Ref.4926 : 19th-C. Château surrounded by a charming 7.2 acre park in Mayenne department Located in the historic Province of Maine, now within the department of Mayenne, this château enjoys a peaceful setting in the heart of a village. Just 3 km away, a market town of approximately 3,000 inhabitants provides all everyday amenities and services, including supermarkets, schools, a pharmacy, restaurants and a full range of local shops. The property also benefits from excellent accessibility: Paris is approximately 250 km away, the motorway is just 13 km from the estate, and two TGV high-speed railway stations are located 23 km and 27 km away respectively. The rendered rubble-stone construction is enhanced by grey stone surrounds to the windows and doors; the turrets and dormer windows are built in limestone. The entire property is covered with natural slate. The interior layout, arranged around three staircases, provides particularly functional circulation and allows for a variety of possible uses. Extending from east to west, the château offers approximately 215 sqm of living space per floor over three levels, totalling around 650 sqm, excluding the cellars and attics. A few steps lead up to the entrance porch, bordered by topiary shrubs, inviting us into the residence: Ground floor: entrance hall (17 sqm) with access to the main staircase, small drawing room (28 sqm), large drawing room (35 sqm), dining room (44 sqm, ceiling height of 3.22 m), study (20 sqm) giving access to two turrets, one of which contains a spiral staircase, service entrance (19 sqm) with access to a third turret, boiler room (21 sqm), service staircase and cloakrooms. First floor (mainly laid with oak parquet flooring): landing and corridor leading to 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 shower room and WC. Second floor (mainly laid with fir parquet flooring): landing and corridor leading to 7 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 shower room and WC. Attic: attic spaces beneath the roof structure, accessible via two staircases. Basement: two vaulted cellars, accessible from both inside and outside. Occupied for nearly thirty years by an association, the château underwent alterations and improvements to meet the needs of the community. It has nevertheless retained a significant proportion of its original decorative features, including its oak parquet floors, oak panelling, marble fireplaces, an elaborately crafted beamed ceiling, the original window fittings and fasteners, and other period details. OUTBUILDINGS : The property is approached through an entrance gatehouse, which marks the access to the estate. The outbuildings, arranged around the château and throughout the park, form a harmonious ensemble of buildings with a variety of uses. Two ancillary buildings, situated to the south of the château and symmetrically positioned on either side of the service courtyard, each provide approximately 140 sqm. A / Right-hand outbuilding: this building is arranged over two storeys and provides approximately 70 sqm on each level: - Ground floor: entrance hall, kitchen, 37 sqm reception room, WC and staircase. - First floor: a large 45 sqm room and two smaller rooms. B / Left-hand outbuilding: built in symmetry with the first outbuilding, this second building also provides approximately 70 sqm on each level. - Ground floor: oratory, former bread oven, sanitary facilities and two confessionals. - First floor: four offices. These two ancillary buildings were fitted out for communal use. They will require modernisation works. On each building, one roof slope is covered with slate and appears to be in fair condition, while the other is temporarily covered and will require complete re-roofing. C / Orangery: situated to the north-east of the château, the orangery comprises: - Ground floor: a reception room of approximately 80 sqm, a kitchen and a sanitary block (four WCs). - First floor: five bedrooms. Renovation works were carried out between 2005 and 2009. D / Lean-to outbuildings: set further back within the park, a series of lean-to outbuildings built against the boundary wall remain, formerly used as a henhouse and a sheepfold. GROUND : The landscaped park, designed in the English style, is planted with magnificent specimen trees, most of which are believed to date from the construction of the château. Cedars, horse chestnuts, plane trees, oaks and maples form a mature arboreal heritage, standing as timeless guardians of the estate and lending the grounds their majestic character. At the far end of the park lies an old pond, the banks—and most likely the bed—of which are lined with remarkable stonework. The property extends over 7.2 acres (2,9 hectares) and is offered with vacant possession.

Property with garden Epernay (51)
Réf. 4931 : A genuine abbbaye situated near Épernay, offers a selection of holiday cottages ready for immediate use. After passing through vineyards and a small village, the abbey church comes into view around a bend, at the far end of a secluded valley filled with peace and quiet. This former Cistercian abbey, whose layout can still be made out, is surrounded by forests, enhanced by a park, and bordered by a river. The whole estate covers an area of around 8 hectares. The finesse of the stonework, still evident today, can be seen in the ribbed vaults and the understated columns. Set in the heart of a preserved natural environment, just 30 minutes from Épernay and 2 hours from Paris, this abbey church offers an unforgettable immersion in history, as well as significant potential for tourism in a region renowned worldwide. And if you were to live here without working – the height of luxury – know that here, everything is all about contemplation and elegance. The abbey palace occupies the former nave, which was destroyed in the mid-16th century. Its southern section displays great architectural symmetry and is distinguished from the northern section by a slightly projecting front section, featuring a balcony, which is itself surmounted by a pediment with an oculus. On the north side, the eye is drawn to a row of nine windows and two segmental-arched doors on the ground floor, including a beautiful lantern-style entrance with a cut-stone splay. From there, one enters a vast vestibule with a stone floor inlaid with 18th-century slate cabochons, boasting an inimitable patina. The entrance hall opens onto a monumental wooden staircase with a beautiful wrought-iron banister typical of the 18th century. To the right: a large sitting room and a conservatory in succession. The sitting room, decorated with marouflaged paintings after Lancret, features beautiful 18th-century wood panelling. A beautiful fireplace adds warmth to the atmosphere – though one might wonder if it really needs warming, given how this room immediately makes you want to linger there. Adjoining the sitting room, the conservatory – which was later attached to the gable end of the main house – is bathed in beautiful light. Here too, a fine marble fireplace sets the scene. As for the layout of the rooms, on the ground floor, to the left of the grand staircase as you enter, there is a study, a large dining room, a kitchen, a pantry and a utility room which houses a geothermal heating system. The grandeur of this abbey residence is emphasised by the symmetry of the windows, the abundance of natural light, the view over the grounds and the 4-metre-high ceilings. Upstairs, on the side of the former gable end, to the right of the staircase, a separate entrance leads into a master suite featuring panelling, an alcove bed and an en-suite bathroom. To the left of the staircase, a long corridor leads to three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite toilets, and a bathroom with a delightfully vintage claw-foot bath. On the second floor, four bedrooms and an attic provide further lovely living spaces. From the first floor of the abbey house, a balcony leads to the monks’ former Now converted into a holiday cottage, this part of the building, dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, comprises two storeys topped by a hipped roof with flat tiles, supported by buttresses with drip mouldings. On the ground floor, the holiday cottage offers six bedrooms, a kitchen and a shared shower room. On the first floor, there is a convertible attic. On the ground floor of the monks’ dormitory, which connects to the abbot’s quarters via the latter’s kitchen, there is a remarkable complex comprising the sacristy, covered by a semi-circular barrel vault; the chapter house with its ribbed vault, perhaps one of the finest in the Cistercian Order (or chapter hall); a former prison; and a parlour. The chapter house, the jewel of the abbey, is divided into two naves, whose ribbed vaults rest in the centre on two monolithic columns and on massive bases surmounted by capitals decorated with water leaves. The new abbey church, built on the site of the medieval chancel which extended the nave, dates from the 18th century (1767–1770). Its simple, Baroque-inspired interior architecture is limited to the creation of three bays delineated by flat, slightly projecting pilasters. From the new church, one can see a grassy courtyard leading to several buildings. This beautiful 18th-century farmstead setting is enclosed by a moulded semicircular stone gateway. It mainly comprises a holiday cottage, outbuildings, a woodshed, a former sheepfold and, at one end, another holiday cottage and a stable with three stalls. The caretaker’s house, situated at the northern entrance to the abbey church and also renovated, adds a 19th-century touch to this unique architectural ensemble dating from the Middle Ages and the 18th century. The complex offers more than 25 beds available for immediate use.

Mill Cholet (49)
Ref.4924 : French hydroelectric mill for sale in Maine-et-Loire. On the outskirts of a charming village in the Anjou bocage, in an unspoilt valley through which a river flows, this former hydroelectric mill occupies a unique site alongside a remarkable 15th-century bridge. The location is sheltered from disturbances whilst remaining easily accessible. The presence of water, varied vegetation and unobstructed views of the countryside and the centuries-old structures that surround it combine to create a naturally rich environment. The mill was built of local stone, either rendered or clad in slate, to a three-storey design with a slate roof, and features windows with brick lintels. Built in 1905 on an almost square plan measuring approximately 11 metres on each side and rising to a height of nearly 14 metres, it is one of the earliest hydroelectric mills in France. Its vertical silhouette, its waterwheel and sculpted decoration evoking ‘the electricity fairy’ are a reminder of its original purpose. Inhabited and very carefully refurbished over the past fifteen years by the current owner, the building has been designed to maximise natural light, ensure a fluid flow of movement and provide unobstructed views of the water and the landscape. With a floor area of approximately 190 sqm, it is laid out as follows: On the ground floor: two spacious living areas are connected beneath the original brick vaults. They comprise a reception area opening onto a lounge/library and a study area with a soundproofed study cubicle. Throughout the property, there is ample built-in storage, crafted from high-quality materials. Completing this level is a bedroom, accessible via two discreet entrances, which has its own shower room and toilet; a hallway leads to a utility room housing the boiler room and the network room. On this floor, a wall-to-wall opening offers a view of the mill’s original mechanism. On the first floor, the main staircase leads to a spacious living area fitted out as open-plan offices arranged around an endless bar, which is clearly of professional-grade quality. The bar is equipped with a top-of-the-range kitchen offering undeniable comfort and a highly convivial atmosphere in keeping with the spirit of the place. This floor also features facilities designed for film screenings and audiovisual presentations. Here too, the walls incorporate plenty of bespoke storage, whilst preserving the sense of space and the views. Finally, a master suite with a built-in fireplace combines a sleeping area overlooking the valley with a comfortable bathroom featuring a bath, toilet and walk-in shower. On the second floor, beneath a roof structure where some of the beams have been reinforced to open up the central space, a living area in the attic – accessed via a bespoke, removable wrought-iron staircase – can be used as an office, a library or a guest bedroom. The superimposed glass ceilings and floors diffuse light throughout the various levels. A second movable staircase, also made to measure, provides access to the topmost level of the mill. A 360° glass-enclosed viewing platform, fitted within the former bell tower, forms the culmination of this exceptional interior design. Its openings on all four sides and its glass floor offer a three-dimensional view of the surroundings, taking in the valley, the river and the sky. Close to the mill, an annexe with a storeroom is a wonderful addition to the property. Accessible via a separate entrance, it has been converted into a fully equipped, high-end studio flat. The large bay window, which follows the line of the main gable, floods the space with a soothing, airy light and connects it to its private garden, which offers a lovely view of the river. The parquet flooring, exposed stonework, bespoke wooden joinery, the bed suspended by an ingenious pulley system, and the hand-laid Italian tiles in the shower room all bear witness to an exceptional standard of finish. Whether used to accommodate passing travellers or as a family home complementing the mill, this property will provide its occupants with comfort, independence and tranquillity. The plot covers approximately 500 sqm and includes the immediate surroundings of the mill as well as the garden belonging to the detached house. The property is bordered by the river, a branch of which flows under the mill and runs alongside its wheel. Beyond this private land, a communal riverside area – maintained by the local authority and rarely visited – visually extends the site and offers the chance to enjoy walks along the water’s edge. Combining the power of the water, the history embedded in the stones and the boldness of a contemporary restoration, this mill is undoubtedly a unique place to live, where history continues to unfold.

Castle Bain-de-Bretagne (35)
Ref.4894 : 17th C.country chateau in the heart of Upper Brittany To the south of Rennes, between the Vilaine and Semnon valleys, the property is set in unspoilt Breton countryside — with valleys, meadows and wooded areas — just a few minutes’ drive from shops, schools and medical facilities, and in the immediate vicinity of a railway station providing high-speed rail links to Rennes and on to Paris. A sought-after area, on the border between historic Brittany and the Anjou region. A gravel-surfaced driveway winds through the grounds, flanked by tall cedars and conifers, gradually revealing the château’s façades as it winds past the lawns, offering a serene approach that sets the scene for exploring the property. Built in several phases during the 17th century, the château displays a fine architectural unity. The façades, constructed of schist and rubble stone, are accentuated by light-coloured cut-stone frames around the openings; in places, wisteria or Virginia creeper clings to them. The high, steeply pitched slate roofs are punctuated by dormer windows with arched pediments and tall chimney stacks, lending the whole building a noble and balanced silhouette — without ostentation, in keeping with the understated style of the stately homes of Upper Brittany. The 560 sqm of living space features a particularly clear layout, organised around generous reception areas and a spacious sleeping area. The ground floor: The entrance hall, with its floor of antique terracotta tiles and exposed beams, offers sweeping views towards the living rooms and the grounds; the wooden staircase leads to the first floor. The grand drawing room, the centrepiece of the house, retains its painted panelling from floor to ceiling, a marble fireplace surmounted by a trumeau, and its original parquet flooring; the tall windows open wide onto the grounds and the inner courtyard. The dining room, which opens onto the grounds, is also panelled, beneath two exposed main beams, and features its own wooden fireplace; it connects to the pantry and then the kitchen, with its exposed stone walls and dark beams, which retains all its rustic character whilst being able to open out onto a large family space. A second sitting room, overlooking the courtyard and also featuring a fireplace, is generously proportioned and could easily be converted into a ground-floor bedroom; a utility room, a bathroom and a pantry complete this level, enabling a truly ground-floor lifestyle. The first floor: The eight bedrooms, accessed via a spacious landing, are generously proportioned and enjoy plenty of natural light, with views over the grounds. Several have retained their original fireplaces — one of which features an imposing carved wooden mantelpiece — as well as their original wooden floors, which bear witness to the house’s history. Two bathrooms complete this level, which is well suited to both family living and hospitality. In the loft, accessible from the first floor via a staircase, there is a convertible attic space. The outbuildings, constructed of stone and rendered, are arranged around a gravel-surfaced service courtyard: garage, workshop, storage areas and annexes that can be adapted to suit specific projects. Some retain their rustic authenticity and offer real potential for restoration. Set apart in the grounds stands a well-preserved circular dovecote, a testament to the estate’s former seigneurial status; nearby lie the masonry remains of an old chapel. The grounds, enclosed by ancient walls and covering approximately 3.3 acres (1.35 hectares), consist of vast lawns dotted with mature trees — cedars, conifers, deciduous trees and fruit trees — which frame the views as the seasons change. The gardens serve as an extension of the reception rooms; further on, an old orchard evokes the traditional layout of country estates. A swimming pool in need of restoration is situated nearby, though not visible from here, in a more secluded part of the grounds.

Listed castle Nevers (58)
Réf.4802 : Chateau listed as a Historic Monument and its small chateau in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre The château is situated in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre region, between Nevers and Château-Chinon, on the outskirts of a small town of 900 inhabitants. Formerly the seat of a major medieval seigneury, the town developed on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Aron valley. The Nivernais Canal forms a loop within which the estate is situated. The Aron flows below. It is built on high ground and enjoys a magnificent view over the Nièvre countryside. The Morvan Regional Nature Park is nearby, a preserved natural area. The château is a 30-minute drive from Nevers and a 2 hour 40 minute drive from Paris. There is an aerodrome in Nevers, and a helicopter can land in the château grounds. The property comprises a 1,200 sqm château and a smaller 800 sqm château. THE CHATEAU : The château is built on a rectangular plan, over four storeys, with a slate gable roof. On the south-west façade, one can make out a former imposing chapel, now connected to the interior of the château, covered by a hipped roof, with two large pointed-arch windows. The main entrance is situated in the centre of a tall, projecting tower, spanning six storeys, topped by a hipped roof and housing a listed spiral staircase. The north-west façade, overlooking the terrace, is rendered in lime, featuring numerous mullioned windows in the larger sections and high-set dormer windows. The window frames are made of limestone. The south-east façade, offering a beautiful view of the Nièvre countryside, also features numerous windows, some of which are in a more classical 17th-C. style. A two-storey turret links the former chapel to the château. On the second and third floors there are twelve bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and wardrobe, ranging in size from 12 to 51 sqm. Beneath the roof of the former chapel lies a large 50 sqm study featuring a beautiful roof structure shaped like an upturned ship’s hull. Throughout the château, there are numerous preserved and restored architectural features, including floors, fireplaces, wood panelling, ceilings, and more. The interiors are very harmonious, of high quality, and perfectly respect this historic residence. THE SMALL CHATEAU : This is a 17th-C. building that originally housed outbuildings and large double-height stables. It has a rectangular layout over three storeys, plus an attic, and is covered with a slate Mansard roof. The main façade on the north-west side features a slight projection at its centre, with a pediment at the top, as well as at the ends, framed by stonework. The façades are lime-plastered. The interior surface area of the small château is approximately 800 sqm. THE 13TH-C. DEFENCE TOWER : This military defence tower has been converted into a self-contained flat. On the ground floor is a living room featuring antique terracotta tiles and a French-style ceiling. The tower contains various works by the designer and sculptor Pierre-Marie le Jeune, including a striking metal fireplace. A small kitchen has also been fitted out. Upstairs, there is a beautiful bedroom with a ‘sculpted bed’ and a glass ceiling revealing the magnificent roof structure, as well as a very contemporary bathroom with a glass bathtub. LAND : The park covers just over 12.3 acres. Around 1830, the landscape architect LAVENNE de CHOULOT designed an English-style park. It is through this park that one enters the estate. Heading south, we pass through a woodland with beautiful bridle paths that lead us to the edge of the Canal du Nivernais. From there, skirting the defence tower via a stone tunnel, we reach what was once the old kitchen garden, situated below the château’s terrace. Under the impetus of the current owners, this former kitchen garden has been transformed into a contemporary garden which has been awarded the ‘remarkable garden’ label. Water features have been created, resembling shattered fragments in which the sky and the château’s façade are reflected. Magnificent undulating rows of boxwood evoke the Nivernais bocage. This remarkable garden is bordered by a private canal running parallel to the Canal du Nivernais. Finally, a small French-style garden has been created on the upper terrace between the château and the 13th-C. tower. The views are magnificent, both from the lower garden towards the chateau terraces and from the upper gardens towards the Aron valley and the landscapes of the Nivernais countryside. This château is a truly historic family estate. Its size, location, surroundings, gardens and history make it a truly exceptional property. The high-quality restoration, which has been carried out with respect for the site’s history, means that a large family could move in immediately. The separation between the main château and the smaller château opens up a wide range of possibilities for activities without causing any disturbance. The development of an events business—such as conferences, corporate conventions, seminars, or private events like weddings, receptions, birthdays, etc.—is entirely feasible. It would also be possible to consider creating a hospitality (hotel) business. Finally, there is an opportunity to purchase additional land and buildings, subject to a price offer.

House with pool Châteauneuf-sur-Cher (18)
Ref.4607 : In the Cher, a beautiful noble dwelling with outbuildings and swimming pool Set in the authentic, unspoilt Boischaut Sud region of the Cher department, this restored farmhouse offers a peaceful, refined setting. Surrounded by the emblematic landscapes of the Champagne Berrichonne region, with its succession of farm fields and verdant hedged farmland, the property embodies the harmony between nature and rural tradition. Sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is nevertheless ideally located, less than 5 kilometres from all the essential amenities: shops, services and a SNCF train station that takes you to Paris in just 2 hours 30. A rare combination of bucolic tranquillity and accessibility. The region offers a multitude of outdoor activities for nature lovers and sports enthusiasts. Lake Sidiailles, around twenty kilometres away, is a must for swimming, paddle-boarding, canoeing and tree-climbing in an enchanting natural setting. When it comes to heritage, the local cultural wealth is just as remarkable. The town of Saint-Amand-Montrond captivates with its medieval quarter, its impressive fort and its famous Cité de l'Or. Nearby, the Château de Meillant, a jewel of flamboyant Gothic architecture, marvels at its sumptuous gardens and refined interiors. Noirlac Abbey, a masterpiece of Cistercian art, is an invitation to contemplate and discover. Finally, the Route Jacques Cœur, a veritable Ariadne's thread of Berrichon heritage, makes it easy to explore the treasures of this exceptional region. The complex comprises a main house flanked by two single-storey pavilions. Two long wings of outbuildings, set at right angles to each other, form a charming inner courtyard, each topped by a square tower, accentuating the symmetry and character of the site. The main house, built of rendered stone with a slate gable roof, faces north-west to south-east. Spanning two stories and topped by an attic, it spans around 250 sqm of living space divided into five bays, offering a fine architectural presence. It comprises : On the ground floor, the main dwelling features an entrance hall served by a central staircase. Opposite, a billiards room leads on one side to a luminous lounge, and on the other to a comfortable bedroom with its own shower room and toilet. The west pavilion houses three bedrooms, one of which opens directly onto the terrace adjoining the swimming pool, and a shower room with WC, ideal for welcoming family or guests in a separate space. The east pavilion features a fully-equipped fitted kitchen, extended by a functional utility room. An adjoining study provides access to a remarkable private chapel, meticulously restored to give the estate a touch of spirituality and exception. Upstairs in the manor house are three comfortable bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room with toilet. A library completes this level, providing a peaceful space for reading or working. There is a vast attic above, offering additional potential for conversion. The generous outbuildings offer remarkable development potential. With a little work, they could easily be used to double the living space, opening up the possibility of numerous residential or recreational projects. The west wing, which is set back at right angles, contains former stables, cowsheds and an old chicken coop, now used as storage space. One of the rooms houses the swimming pool equipment room. Continuing on, a covered porch provides parking for vehicles, followed by a tower with a dirt floor that can be reinvented as required. The opposite building houses the boiler room, a vast barn and a second pavilion, similar in every respect to the previous one, creating a beautiful symmetry throughout the common areas. The carefully designed grounds form a real green setting around the residence. A veritable green belt, it almost makes you forget how close the neighbouring farm is. A wide variety of ornamental and fruit trees, including majestic cedars, maples, quince, apple and pear trees, give elegant rhythm to the landscape as the seasons change. A charming bower, forming a sort of plant cloister, shelters a delicate fountain. This shady corner, with its natural coolness, is a peaceful place to relax and daydream. A water feature enhances this pleasant park of more than 5 acres. Finally, there's a generously sized swimming pool (12 x 5 m). It is salt-treated and heated by a heat pump. The liner will be replaced around 2021, reflecting the rigorous maintenance carried out. Cabinet LE NAIL – Loiret - Sologne – M.
