castle for sale Chazé-sur-Argos, France

Nestled in the heart of Haut-Anjou, within the Loire Valley, this exceptional château—listed in the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques—stands proudly at the center of a vast 71-hectare estate. Surrounded by wide, water-filled moats and reached by an elegant stone bridge, this is one of the finest examples of noble architecture in the Maine-et-Loire region. Located just 30 kilometers north of Angers, the château enjoys both tranquility and accessibility. Angers, the historic capital of Anjou, offers all amenities of a dynamic city: university, university hospital, shopping, and a TGV station with direct access to Paris in 1 hour 30 minutes. Renowned as France’s greenest city and consistently ranked among the best places to live, Angers truly embodies the celebrated “douceur angevine”—the gentle art of living of western France. The A11 motorway (25 km away) connects directly to Paris (330 km). A nearby market town, only 8 km from the estate, provides all daily conveniences. ⸻ A Renaissance Jewel in a Natural Setting The château, protected by its moats and accessed through an entrance châtelet flanked by two round towers, is reached via a majestic 300-meter avenue lined with plane trees. Beyond the gate, three successive courtyards unfold—an avant-cour, a cour d’honneur, and a lower courtyard—framed by beautiful period outbuildings. To the south lie the formal gardens and a fish pond. At the far end of the cour d’honneur, aligned with the châtelet, stands the main residential building. Originally constructed during the 15th and 16th centuries in the opulent style of the French Renaissance, it was later expanded during the 17th and 18th centuries with a principal wing and an L-shaped extension, tastefully refurbished around 1850. The result is a harmonious blend of Renaissance charm and refined domestic comfort—a rare balance between historical authenticity and modern elegance. ⸻ The Interiors The ground floor opens onto a grand 30 m² entrance hall located between the main wing and its return. To the left extends a magnificent suite of reception rooms: a dining room (49 m²), a grand salon (58 m²), a Renaissance drawing room (57 m²), a smaller sitting room (25 m²) fitted into the former guard room, a library (14 m²), a pantry (5 m²), and a cloakroom with WC (10 m²). To the right are a study (18 m²), a large family kitchen (53 m²), a secondary kitchen (18 m²), a pantry (9 m²), and several utility and service rooms. The entrance also gives access to a boiler room, wood store, and additional WCs. The first floor, reached by a grand stone staircase and a charming wooden spiral stair in the Renaissance tower, comprises nine bedrooms (ranging from 19 to 27 m²), two dressing rooms (9 and 18 m²), five bathrooms, four shower rooms (one with sauna), and two WCs with washbasins. Attics extend over the entire building. The L-shaped wing includes additional living space over three levels: a vast 150 m² games room, a home cinema with 22 seats and adjoining kitchen, a large office, seven bedrooms, six shower rooms, and seven WCs. The reception rooms are beautifully appointed with oak parquet, terracotta tiles, or stone flagstones, enhanced by wood paneling, decorative trumeaux, marble or stone fireplaces, and painted beamed ceilings. The generous volumes—reaching up to 3.7 meters in height—create an atmosphere of both grandeur and warmth. ⸻ Historic Outbuildings and Dependencies Over the centuries, the château has remained a self-sufficient estate, and it still retains its complete range of service buildings, arranged harmoniously within the moat’s enclosure. A. The Entrance Châtelet (16th century) A masterpiece of defensive architecture, it features two pepperpot towers and two gateways—a carriage entrance and a pedestrian door once fitted with a portcullis and drawbridge. Above the main gate, a statue of a goddess bears the Latin motto “Vincit Omnia Pallas” (“Pallas conquers all”), and the crest above displays a cross pattée in silver on a sable field. B. South of the châtelet, an annex houses a three-room apartment and former stables with tack room. C. To the north and west, a series of L-shaped outbuildings—also flanked by two towers—include: – a large two-room workshop (approx. 150 m²) ideal for receptions or seminars, – various barns and storage rooms, a bread oven, and a dovecote, – a caretaker’s house with five rooms and central gas heating. D. The Chapel of Saint-Sébastien, founded in 1526 and altered in the 19th century, stands near the main house. It retains its original decorative elements and includes a sacristy. E. Near the north-west gate, the former pigsties still evoke the estate’s rural past. F. Outside the moat enclosure, the estate includes: – a second caretaker’s house with living room, two bedrooms, and bathroom, – kennels, – and a small stone pavilion built on an island bordering the river. ⸻ The Estate Grounds The château stands majestically at the center of its single-block domain, approached by a grand 300-meter avenue of plane trees running east to west. The estate covers 71 hectares (176 acres) of beautifully arranged land, comprising: – 47 hectares of meadows and pastures, – 12 hectares of woodland (oak, pine, and poplar), – and a 0.9-hectare pond. To the north, the property is bordered for nearly one kilometer by a picturesque river, while several paths radiate from the château through the surrounding parkland. ⸻ Historical Protection and Tax Benefits As a result, the property qualifies for the highly advantageous French Monuments Historiques tax regime, offering significant fiscal benefits to owners engaged in preservation and restoration—combining heritage stewardship with intelligent investment. ⸻ In Summary This château stands among the grandest and most distinguished in Haut-Anjou. It harmoniously unites the elegance of Renaissance architecture, the grandeur of a noble estate, and the comfort of a refined family residence. Rich in history yet welcoming in spirit, the property offers an exceptional lifestyle just 35 minutes from Angers—a true jewel of French heritage where stone, water, and nature have coexisted in perfect harmony for over five centuries.

Réf. 4855 : a charming castle 30 km from Angers. In Upper Anjou, this charming little château, built in the early 19th century at the behest of the current owners’ ancestors, stands on a promontory and commands a commanding view over the Oudon valley. This elegant residence immediately captivates with the purity of its lines and the quality of its setting in the heart of a beautiful wooded park, a veritable haven of greenery in which it has found its place remarkably well. Close to Angers, and not far from the market town of Le Lion d’Angers, which is a five-minute drive away, this property enjoys a favourable location between Paris and the coast, and a central position linking it to the major cities of the West: Nantes, Rennes, Le Mans and Bordeaux. Just a stone’s throw away, the Parc de l’Isle Briand is home to one of the world’s most renowned equestrian venues. It is bordered by the Lion d’Angers racecourse, which hosts several internationally recognised equestrian events each year. Quiet yet not isolated, the property captivates with both the purity of its classical style and the unobstructed views offered by the surrounding countryside. The setting is ideal for family life as well as for a refined country residence. The château’s architecture, characterised by great simplicity, reflects the style of the fine mansions of the Anjou region: a symmetrical layout, tall windows and well-balanced proportions. The eye is drawn here more to the overall harmony than to decorative elements, lending the whole building a great deal of distinction. Inspired by the Loire Valley style, it was built in local stone and tuffeau limestone to a four-storey plan with a slate roof and four bays arranged around a slightly projecting central bay, thanks to the monumental entrance portal, framed by simple pilasters supporting a moulded entablature with dentils. The particularly elegant semi-circular door is surmounted by a fan-shaped transom window that lends the whole structure a sense of delicacy and verticality. Also of note is the presence, as on the south side, of a pretty double-curved staircase on the north side. These interior spaces cover an area of approximately 400 sqm and are laid out as follows: On the raised ground floor: an entrance hall, from which a remarkable balustrade staircase rises, provides access to a series of adjoining rooms—the reception room, music room, study, large sitting room and dining room—and to a hallway leading to a kitchen and a small sitting room. These rooms are adorned with attractive decorative features, marble fireplaces, beautiful antique parquet flooring, wooden picture rails and moulded ceilings. On the first floor: a landing leads to a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom on one side, and to a gallery leading to three bedrooms, a dressing room and two bathrooms. Just like on the ground floor, you can see antique parquet flooring, attractive decorative features, marble fireplaces, wooden picture rails and ornate ceilings. On the second floor: a corridor leads to former staff bedrooms in the attic. On the basement: former service rooms used for storage and as a boiler room. Outbuildings : The property comprises the following outbuildings: 1/ A former U-shaped stable building enclosing a square courtyard to the east, with a walled rear courtyard to the west, built of local stone and tuffeau with a slate roof (recently re-roofed). It comprises several rooms used for storage, workshops and a garage, as well as two functional dwellings: The annexe: on the ground floor, a living room with a kitchen area and a staircase leading to the upper floor, plus a toilet. On the first floor, three bedrooms, a shower room and a toilet. Features include original terracotta floor tiles, simple window frames and double glazing, heating via a wood-burning insert and electric convector heaters, hot water supplied by an electric boiler, and a private sewage system in need of upgrading. The caretaker’s accommodation: on the ground floor, entrance hall with staircase leading to the upper floor, toilet, kitchen and bedroom on the same level. On the first floor, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. Features single window frames and double glazing, heating via a wood-burning stove, hot water supplied by an electric boiler, private sewage system in need of updating. 2/ Other outbuildings: sheepfold, adjoining stable, kennel and woodshed in need of renovation. A large and magnificent 16 acres of English-style parkland, featuring beautiful trees dating back several centuries (cedars, redwoods, oaks, chestnut trees, sweet chestnuts, camellias, etc.), a charming little pond and a large walled vegetable garden. There is a well on the property. One immediately feels a sense of tranquillity and harmony, as if the place naturally invites you to slow down, contemplate and savour an environment that has remained unspoilt.

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.

A 19th-century mansion, 25 minutes from Angers, with many outbuildings, in 7 hectares of grounds. The property is situated in a rural environment and can be reached via a minor road. To the southeast, there is a second entrance via a country lane. The mansion, which stands in the centre of the estate is surrounded by a gravel courtyard and its main facades face north and south. The edifice was probably originally built in the 18th century but was entirely transformed during the 1870s. The main section of the residence is flanked by a pavilion to the east and an overhanging turret to the west. All the buildings are built with rough-hewn blocks of shale, which are lime-rendered. The window and door surrounds as well the mouldings on the facades are made of tuffeau stone. In the centre to the north, a slightly protruding central section is made of tuffeau stone and topped by a steep pavilion roof. The entrance door is topped by a large window in front of which there is a finely crafted ironwork balcony, and above which, in turn, there is a semi-circular pediment punctuated by a central dormer window. All the roofs are made of slate and crowned by zinc ridge caps as well as red brick chimney stacks. The outbuildings are located to the east and south. These disused buildings are all built with lime-rendered rough-hewn blocks of shale. The roofs are made of slate and the surrounds of the openings are made of red brick. The grounds and meadows stretch out to the west.

Between Angers and Nantes, in a village with a TER train station, a château set in 7 hectares of parkland, along with two large outbuildings converted into offices. From the road, a long driveway crosses part of the park at the front of the château and leads to a group of outbuildings, one of which is directly connected to the main residence. The property is also accessible from the back via a path that starts from the village. All the buildings are well positioned in the middle of a park of over 7 hectares. Built in the 19th century from tuffeau stone on a hard stone base, the château rises four levels, including one basement and one attic. It is covered with a slate roof with four slopes, bordered by a cornice with brackets and pierced at the front and rear by neo-Gothic inspired dormers, one of which is an imposing central dormer. Tuffeau stone pepper pots rest on intricately designed pedestals and mark each corner of the château. The façades are enriched with molded string courses and sculpted decorations in the shape of Xs under the windows of the first floor. All the openings are perfectly symmetrical, and on the front façade, facing south, the entrance door is crowned by a balcony supported by two ramparts with griffin legs and a wrought iron railing. The château underwent significant restoration work between 2006 and 2008.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A remarkable listed castle with its chapel, outbuildings and 70 hectares of grounds bordering a river in Anjou. All the buildings are grouped together in the centre of the undivided estate, at the end of a driveway that extends for almost 400 m under a canopy of bicentennial plane trees. It leads to a stone bridge across the moat and on to a gatehouse with four-pitched roof, marking the entrance to the fortress. You then have to pass through a carriage gate, once protected by a portcullis and a drawbridge, or through a small pedestrian gate on one side, to discover the castle's main courtyard, where the central lawn is adorned with sixteen box topiaries. At the back, the main section of the dwelling is flanked by a wing set at right angles. On the other side stands a chapel. To the south, there is a garden of almost 1 ha, criss-crossed by paths and planted with numerous fruit trees. It also includes a fishpond, which is thought to have once been a 'longue paume' (long tennis) ground. To the north, a former farmyard is bordered by outbuildings that originally served as a defensive enclosure. It has been converted into a garden with a central fountain. The complex is surrounded by a moat filled with water. The property is traversed by numerous tracks providing access to the woods, river and meadows. In a single lot, it is bordered on one of its four sides by a navigable river. The grounds comprise parkland, orchards and moats (4 ha), alleys (2.8 ha), a pond (0.9 ha), open meadows (48 ha) undergoing reforestation - 4,500 trees were planted in 2007, woodland (11.6 ha) including oak, pine and poplar trees, and tenanted farmland (3.7 ha). The castle and its surrounding buildings, the moat, the gardens and most of the surrounding avenues are all listed. The slate roofs either have two or four pitches or are pepperpot-shaped; the walls are of rendered or pointed rubble masonry; the facade and roof openings are mostly rectilinear, some with mullions, some are arched.
