Ref.4110 BEAUTIFUL 19th CENTURY CHATEAU IN ANJOU This delightful 19th century property and its parkland are located in the Maine Anjou countryside, forming a wonderfully homogenous estate. A remarkable example of an architectural style that was not very common at the time, the castle overlooks its surroundings and seems to be suspended above a green setting. Situated in the heart of the Angevin heritage, a land of numerous tourist opportunities, and not far from the town of Angers, this castle benefits from an ideal position both in terms of its proximity to essential amenities; it is 4 km (2.5 miles) from a charming village providing the main services and shops; and in terms of its accessibility from the motorway/railway axes serving the metropolises and professional areas of Paris, Le Mans, Angers and Nantes. Set back from all nuisances without being isolated, the absolute charm and poetry that emanates from this building will seduce those who love timeless, modernist architecture while providing them with comfort and an idyllic environment. Built on four levels of ashlar and stone rubble under slate according to the plans of the architect Adrien Dubos, who was largely inspired by the achievements of the 17th and 18th centuries, this castle is one of the very last architectural jewels of the classical style to have been built. With a surface area of approx. 1,000 sqm, it features a central three-bay forebuilding to the north-east, adorned with an imposing main building accessed by a monumental staircase and a marble staircase with tufa stone railings. To the south-west, the facade features a central polygonal body in the forefront of the dwelling, surrounded at its base by a vast terrace bordered by splendid tufa stone railings. The facades are harmoniously provided with numerous openings adorned with beautifully decorated tufa jambs, lintels and spandrels, ensuring optimal light everywhere. A slate roof adorned with pretty pedimented dormer windows and beautiful tufa fireplaces tops this property of approx. 1,000 sqm, which is distributed as follows Ground floor: Superb entrance hall decorated with marble columns followed by a gallery leading to a main living room, a small living room, a dining room, a pantry, a study, a kitchen, a small dining room and a bedroom.
