15 kilometres from Le Mans, on over a little less than 15 hectares, a Neo-Gothic chateau, its outbuildings and English-style grounds, listed as Historical Monuments. Edified on the slope of a hill, Le Mans extends to the north of the property, past the woods. Behind tall pillars, the property is accessible via a tarmac driveway bordered by tall trees and flanked by an entrance pavilion, which houses the caretaker’s residence. Advancing through the landscaped grounds provides views, on one side, of the chateau’s symmetrical northern façade. Arriving at the top of the hill, several outbuildings constructed in the 19th century can be seen set back from the chateau. They specifically include the orangery, today converted into a guesthouse, which faces the chateau’s southern façade on the other side of the courtyard. To the west, at a distance from the buildings, the grassy grounds lead to a pond below, which reflects the tall trees’ foliage.
Following on from there, the walls of the former vegetable garden close the property off from the outside.
The chateau, listed as a historical monument, was edified in 1844 in a Neo-Gothic style. As for the grounds, they are also listed as a historical monument and were designed in 1877. Their landscaped composition, emblematic of the passion for botany in the 19th century, is the result of the close collaboration between an industrialist from Sarthe and Edouard André, an internationally renowned landscape architect, who designed Paris’s Buttes-Chaumont Park. The dwelling’s interior presents décor inspired from the 18th century, completed with Art Deco details.
