The cultural and commercial life here is particularly vibrant, featuring all major retail stores, restaurants, a farmers’ market, a theater, a media library, a music school, a swimming pool, sports complexes, and more. Residents also have access to all the services of the metropolitan area: schools, a university, shopping centers, hospitals, a TGV station, an international airport, and more. The property is in a quiet location. It is set in a peaceful, semi-rural setting, surrounded by woods and meadows. The nearest neighbors are more than 50 meters from the château, which has no direct line of sight to any other buildings. Tranquility reigns here, free from any disturbances. A small country road leads to the entrance of the property. A gate set between walls opens onto a gravel drive of about a hundred metres, gently sloping down towards the chateau.

This handsome 19th-century château enjoys an elevated position above the Loire, with the river stretching out below. Built in 1878 in carved tuffeau stone over a granite base, the property combines the character and proportions of a traditional Loire château with an unusually large amount of additional space. Restored by the current owners,, it offers the rare possibility of creating a truly personal country estate, while also providing extensive space for professional, creative or commercial activities. The château offers approximately 1,000m² of accommodation over three principal floors, with a lift and around 120m² of cellars. The impressive ground floor has 4.30m ceilings and includes a large entrance hall [20m2], reception room, library/music room [71m2], dining room [33m2], shower room and WC, together with a spacious fitted kitchen [20.5m2] overlooking the park and a pantry. The reception rooms retain their parquet floors and marble fireplaces, creating elegant spaces for entertaining or simply enjoying family life. The first floor has nine bedrooms [ranging between 10.34 and 21.5m2], six with private shower rooms, two further WCs and a separate private apartment comprising a sitting room, shower room and large bedroom with marble fireplace and balcony overlooking the Loire. Seven further bedrooms occupy the second floor [14.5m2 to 20m2], together with a WC, four bathrooms and a large children's games room [21m2]. With this amount of accommodation, a new owner could readily create a private family wing, guest accommodation, rooms for visiting friends or perhaps a dedicated area for artistic or creative pursuits. Two substantial buildings provide approximately 1,368m² of additional space. The first, approximately 386m², is immediately to the rear of the château and arranged as offices and meeting rooms, with glazed partitions, break-out space and WCs. The second, approximately 982m², is a much larger U-shaped building, incorporating offices, open-plan areas, meeting rooms, conference and catering facilities, dining space for 30–40 people, WCs and a two-bedroom staff apartment. There is also an equipped 45m² canteen, two kitchens, a garage and workshop. This existing infrastructure opens up numerous possibilities for a purchaser: offices for a business, workshops or studios, conference and training facilities, or a hospitality or events operation, subject of course to the necessary permissions. The estate also includes a substantial greenhouse of approximately 100m², an agricultural and garden equipment building, a hen house and a further building of around 40m² used for animal feed storage. Around 30 covered and open parking spaces serve the property. The grounds are a particularly attractive feature.

At the heart of the park is a lake of almost one hectare, with an island reached by a causeway and a charming timber pavilion. The setting could equally lend itself to a more formal garden, a productive potager, outdoor entertaining or simply a private landscape in which to enjoy the changing seasons. The property sits on the edge of a small town in western Maine-et-Loire, where a supermarket, boulangerie, schools and medical facilities provide the essentials for everyday life. The local SNCF station offers direct trains to Angers in approximately 25 minutes and Nantes in around 40–45 minutes. The road network provides easy access to Angers, Nantes and Le Mans, with Paris accessible by road or rail and the north-western Channel ports within practical reach.

Ref.4971: Former seigneurial castle comprising two dwellings, outbuildings and a 4,493 sqm garden in southern Vendée Set in the heart of the Vendée countryside, this small village offers a peaceful and authentic way of life, ideal for those who long for calm and nature. Between green meadows, bocage, woods and small country lanes, the landscape invites walks, bike rides and the simple pleasures of outdoor life. This charming village offers a serene environment while remaining close to the shops and services of Sainte-Hermine, a few minutes away by car. Nearby, Fontenay-le-Comte and Luçon offer more shops, restaurants and activities for everyday life. Nature and discovery lovers will also enjoy outings to the Marais poitevin and its enchanting canals, as well as the beautiful beaches of the Vendée coast. So many ways to vary the pleasures, between relaxation, heritage and outdoor leisure. Living here means choosing a gentler daily life, enjoying space, recharging through the seasons and rediscovering the taste for simple things, without giving up essential amenities. This seigneurial dwelling offers approximately 300 sqm of living space, divided between two dwellings. The inner courtyard is reached through a succession of two large stone arches, weathered by time, creating a perspective. The main building is the oldest identifiable part of the edifice. Built at the very end of the 15th century, it forms the core of the seigneurial residence. Its rectangular volume met the residential needs of a noble family while asserting the lord's presence within his estate. Certain architectural features bear witness to the building's medieval origins. The entrance gateway notably retains remains of rib vaults, characteristic of Gothic architecture. The original dwelling has nevertheless evolved over the centuries. Later transformations altered its volumes and interior layout, without entirely erasing the traces of its first building campaign. Once through the porch, one reaches a square courtyard. FIRST HOME: In the first part of the dwelling, on the ground floor, there is a kitchen full of character, authentic and with a warm atmosphere. The exposed stone walls, the old beams and the imposing monumental stone fireplace create a setting steeped in history and conviviality. The floor is adorned with an elegant checkerboard in light and ochre tones. This kitchen elegantly combines old-world charm with the art of living of fine country houses: a generous and authentic space, designed as much for cooking as for entertaining. The living room retains fine original features: the old terracotta tiled floor with its warm, irregular shades, the monumental fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove, and the French-style ceiling of massive dark wooden beams. A bathroom and a separate toilet complete the ground floor. The staircase is another remarkable feature of the dwelling: made of light-coloured stone, with wide, massive steps weathered by time, it consists of two flights crossing around an imposing stringer wall. The banister is a white-painted wooden balustrade of turned and carved balusters, topped with a thick handrail. The more imposing newel posts feature moulded panels. Upstairs, a stone-floored landing leads to the corridor serving two bedrooms, a child's bedroom, a bathroom, a toilet and a vast attic with a monumental fireplace to be restored. SECOND HOME: In the second part of the dwelling, the ground floor comprises a vast living room with a monumental fireplace and a beamed ceiling, then a large bedroom with a terracotta tiled floor, beams and a brick fireplace, a kitchen with a flagstone floor and a basic shower room with toilet. Upstairs are vast attics that could be converted into additional bedrooms. The outbuildings include the oratory, to be restored, whose walls retain original frescoes, the sheepfold, the seigneurial market hall of approximately 7 × 9 m, a large attic with a fireplace, and the barn. The grounds cover 4,493 sqm. They are made up of different areas, each with its own orientation, to be enjoyed at different times of day: the north-facing terrace overlooking the village, a wooded area, the vegetable garden, the field to the west with the orchard, and the south-facing garden in the inner courtyard.

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.

Tucked into the gentle hills of the Nantes vineyards, this 17th-century manor is a living tapestry of history and enchantment. The estate unfolds across 4.17 hectares of meticulously tended parkland, where the air carries the scent of earth and blossoms, and the only soundtrack is the gentle murmur of a spring-fed pond—once a humble lavoir—fed by an eternal spring. Here, time slows, and the world feels both timeless and tenderly alive. Nestled in the heart of the Loire-Atlantique, a region famed for its Muscadet wines and Vendée War history, this property offers the perfect blend of rural seclusion and urban convenience. Just 20km from Nantes, a vibrant city with TGV rail links to Paris and an international airport, it’s an ideal base for exploring the Pays de la Loire region.A House That Wears Its History Like a Crown This is no ordinary manor. It is a survivor, its very walls telling the tale of resilience and reinvention. The fire that swept through during the Vendée Wars left its mark in the most poetic way—an asymmetrical silhouette that gives the house its soul-stirring character. Walk through its grand entrance, and you’re stepping into a world where every exposed beam, every ancient fireplace, and every terracotta tile has a story to share. The 397m² of living space is arranged across three floors, offering a symphony of rooms designed for both grandeur and intimacy. The grand salon, with its monumental fireplace, is a stage for evenings of wine and laughter, while the formal dining room evokes the elegance of lavish banquets. The separate kitchen, a modern addition, blends seamlessly with the historic fabric, offering the comforts of today without compromising the home’s timeless charm. Upstairs, eight bedrooms promise restful retreats, each with its own personality. Exposed beams crisscross ceilings, and ancient terracotta tiles whisper underfoot, their worn surfaces bearing the patina of centuries. The cellar, cool and vast, waits patiently to cradle wines, preserves, or the simple treasures of everyday life.

This building, on a human scale, has all the features of a large Renaissance château.
