Nantes Sotheby's Realty propose you this exceptional castle, listed as a Historical Monument, has been meticulously restored and is situated just 25 minutes from Angers, nestled within a sprawling estate spanning over 71 hectares along the riverbanks.
Having been owned by prominent families since the Middle Ages and undergoing modifications until the 18th century, it has successfully preserved the finest elements from various historical periods. An impressive avenue of towering plane trees winds through the estate, leading to this magnificent castle built on a vast platform surrounded by moats. The castle is organized around three courtyards, each enclosed by buildings with round towers at the outer corners. A majestic entrance gatehouse, flanked by two round towers connected by a pavilion, reveals the courtyard of honor, as well as an elegant residence dating back to the 13th century, with modifications made in the 15th, 16th, and 18th centuries. The property boasts 26 rooms, including 5 spacious and well-lit reception rooms, 14 bedrooms with their own private bathrooms, a fully equipped cinema room, and a generous leisure area, totaling 1,130 square meters of living space. Surrounding the main residence are a dovecote, a large chapel restored in the 19th century, a caretaker's house, and numerous outbuildings, including stables, workshops, and storage spaces. In the third courtyard, where the orchard is located, a jeu de paumes court, a rare relic from the Early Middle Ages, is well-preserved. Just outside the castle's walls, a renovated farmhouse serves as an additional independent dwelling.
The estate, spanning over 71 hectares, consists of 40 hectares of meadows, radiating pathways, woodlands, and a one-hectare pond, all running alongside a river. The navigable river is situated 500 meters from the castle, downstream, offering the possibility to create a pontoon for boat mooring.
The estate is conveniently located 25 minutes to the west of Angers and only 10 minutes from Le Lion-d'Angers, renowned for its equestrian events and offering all necessary amenities and services. Angers train station provides direct access to Paris via the TGV in approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, while Nantes Atlantique Airport is just a 1-hour and 10-minute drive from the property.
Despite its grand scale, this castle, a witness to a rich historical past, offers an intimate and exceptionally comfortable residence, a rarity in the vicinity of Angers.
