Castle Chantonnay (85)

iad France - Gilles Billaud offers you: You are part of the most prominent businesses in the Vendée department. Whether you are the owner or tenant of your headquarters, you acknowledge that it is soulless, and you suspect your employees lack enthusiasm for going there. Imagine relocating it, not to another department with the risk of losing your best talents, but nearby, to a simply idyllic location. A castle. Nothing less than that. This castle exists. It was built in the mid-19th century in the purest neo-classical style of Napoleon III's favorite architect, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc: the Château de Puybelliard, located in the municipality of Chantonnay. Admire its height, turrets, slate roof, and elegant shape in the attached photograph. Covering nearly 900 m², it represents the unexpected workplace for a workforce of thirty to fifty employees distributed in open space across its ten finely decorated rooms, spread over two floors, with a ceiling height of 4 meters. On the ground floor, two meeting rooms, one for large events and the other for smaller group meetings, will foster group think and collective emulation among your collaborators. A dining room featuring original paneling, previously used for a gourmet restaurant, will host them at lunchtime. A provider of your choice will prepare delicious meals for them in the kitchen, which is professionally equipped for this catering function. After lunch, your employees will gather in the adjacent bar, where, while having coffee, they can prepare to return to their workstations. Those who still have time can stroll in the park or even swim in the castle's pool during the lunch break in the summer. What better way to maintain a loyal and motivated workforce and avoid the inconveniences of turnover? Your products will be stored, as you wish, on the third floor, in the cellar, or in the two former stables, one of which is built of stone and particularly elegant. Transporters can access the entrance located on the departmental road to drop off or pick up your goods. The gardener and maids will reside in two adjoining cottages, ensuring an impeccable aesthetic for the park and impeccable cleanliness inside the castle, likely to dazzle clients, partners, or investors. Your brand, announced on the main gate on Rue des Dames, will be displayed at the roundabout inside the property, in front of the castle. You might think this is an oversized project? We do not need to remind you that acquiring a tangible asset opens a depreciation period of at least ten years*: we let you imagine the considerable corporate tax savings that would follow. And if your company generates during each financial year a result of one-tenth of the price of this castle, you will somehow have reimbursed it by the end of the depreciation period, by not paying the corresponding tax amount. We also do not need to remind you that any work you undertake in the castle or its annexes to embellish it or make it more functional would also be deductible from corporate tax. This magnificent castle awaits you, for a price of 1.1 million euros. (*) Tax modifiable period depending on the nature of the equipment concerned. Agency fees are the responsibility of the seller. A valid ID will be requested during the visit, in accordance with Article L.561-5 of the Monetary and Financial Code.

Listed castle Le Lion-d'Angers (49)

Réf.4739 : Renaissance chateau listed as a Historic Monument and 83 acres for sale in Anjou In Anjou, built in the countryside on the outskirts of a small village, stands this magnificent Renaissance property. A large avenue of lime trees leads to the old carriage entrance that precedes the main courtyard. The property is located in the north of Maine-et-Loire, in a preserved rural area, away from major traffic flows and easily accessible. The village is set in a landscape of hedgerows and farmland. The neighbouring towns provide everyday amenities. Angers, 35 km away, is within easy reach, offering a direct link to Paris (A11 motorway and TGV station for Paris in 1 hour 25 minutes). The whole property offers a discreet, stable and rural setting, characteristic of the Anjou region. Angers (population 160.000) is just 15 minutes away by car. Angers is the capital of the Anjou region, with all the shops and services you need (university hospital, universities, TGV train station providing a 1h30 hour link to Paris). The town centre is magnificent, with its narrow streets, the imposing silhouette of its 13th-century castle, and the parks and gardens in the heart of the town. The town has also been awarded the title of France's top green town and is a great place to live. In other words: the gentleness of Anjou. It is one of the smallest Renaissance-style chateau in France. Built of schist and tuffeau stone and covered with slate, it faces south/north. It has a total surface area of 800 sqm spread over three levels of approximately 230 sqm each, extended by three half-floors in the east wing. The upper floors are accessed via an impressive straight stone staircase, supported by buttress walls and covered with brick vaults with white stone coffers, as well as a wooden spiral staircase. The façades feature large windows with crossbars and mullions. The chateau's roofs are very varied, illustrating the architectural richness of the building: pavilion, pepperpot and imperial. One enters the residence through a low semi-circular door with pilasters: - On the ground floor: guard room (67 sqm, ceiling height: 3.63 m), library (33 sqm), dining room (38 sqm), kitchen (36 sqm), utility room (7.6 sqm), toilet and washbasin; On the mezzanine floor: bedroom (42 sqm) and bathroom (8 sqm). - Upstairs: living room with painted wood panelling (72 sqm, ceiling height 3.51 m), 3 bedrooms (35, 28, 18 sqm), one with en-suite bathroom, another with dressing room, office (24 sqm), bathroom and shower room (11 sqm), WC and dressing room (9 sqm); On the mezzanine floor: bedroom (42 sqm), bathroom/shower room and toilet (8.5 sqm), dressing room in the tower. - On the second floor: billiard room (29 sqm), upstairs lounge (27 sqm), 7 bedrooms (from 11 to 28 sqm), 1 shower room; On the mezzanine floor: bedroom (44 sqm), bathroom/shower room and WC (8 sqm), dressing room in the tower. Attic above, vaulted cellar including the boiler room under the west wing and semi-underground cellar under the east wing. The chateau is sold furnished; the complete list is to be determined with the owner. The quality of the building's exterior architecture is exceptional. The interior lives up to this impression with architectural features characteristic of large country houses. To name but a few, there is the beautiful straight staircase with open risers, the monumental fireplaces, the mullioned and transom windows, and the consistent and skilful use of high-quality materials (terracotta, wood panelling, cut stone for the ornamentation, etc.). The two painted rooms upstairs are admirable. The paintings were created in 1648 for the wedding of a former owner of the château: The first includes classical motifs such as foliage, crowned busts of Roman emperors, but also still lifes of flowers and fruit, landscapes of Anjou, etc. The second is known as the 'chambre des Amours' (chamber of love) because of the motifs with which it is decorated. This building, on a human scale, has all the features of a large Renaissance château. Without excessive decoration or extravagance, it authentically embodies a large Anjou residence, with no lack of architectural richness. It is an extension in Haut-Anjou of the prestigious splendour of the Châteaux of the Loire. OUTBUILDINGS : They include a U-shaped courtyard comprising: - A 4-room building with 2 woodsheds and 2 chicken coops; - At right angles: a barn, a large garage (125 sqm), a 2-room caretaker's lodge (70 sqm), electric heating, in need of refurbishment; attics above; - At right angles: a dilapidated 70 sqm dwelling, then the old stables (saddle room and 6 stalls); attic above. In the grounds: - A dovecote; - A kennel; - A shelter in the woods; - A well in the courtyard. LAND : Charming English-style park planted with numerous large trees (oaks, cedars, ash trees, chestnut trees, etc.) and ornamental shrubs. A beautiful avenue of lime trees leads to the chateau. - The entire area covers 83.5 acres and is divided as follows: - Approximately 23.5 acres of woodland (excluding avenues); - Four ponds measuring approximately 900 sqm, 1,200 sqm, 3.9 acres and 7.4 acres respectively; NB: these are geoportal measurements based on aerial views. These measurements may vary depending on the weather and the condition of the ponds. - 13.1 acres of buildings, parkland and avenues; - Approximately 34.6 acres of open meadows.

Castle Les Herbiers (85)

BARNES Properties & Châteaux offers for sale, exclusively, this authentic castle, nestled in the heart of Vendée, between Les Herbiers and Pouzauges. Registered on the Additional Inventory of Historical Monuments, this heritage complex is undoubtedly among the most remarkable sites in the region, due to its history, its size, the quality of its architecture, and especially its exceptional authenticity. Built in a dominant position, around two courtyards, the ensemble unfolds within a domain of approximately 18 hectares in one piece, in a preserved environment, with breathtaking views of the bocage. From the road, severe circular-shaped gates announce the entrance to the property. A long driveway lined with walnut trees leads to the entrance porches, whose origins date back to the 15th century, likely altered in the 17th century. Crossing these porches leads us into a first courtyard where various buildings gradually reveal themselves: outbuildings, the main residence, and more. The main residence, dating from the 17th century, is supported against the back of the castle. From this courtyard, the rear façade of the manor appears austere, almost mysterious, only pierced by two small dormers and a postern. A second passage leads to the second courtyard, the true historical heart of the property. Here, the manor house is fully revealed, accompanied by new outbuildings also dating from the 15th century. The façade of the manor presents a particularly remarkable composition. In its center rises a truncated hexagonal tower, flanked by a small round tower. To its left, the window is typical of the 15th century. To the right, adjoining the manor, is the chapel, a simple single-story building, pierced on the courtyard side by a door and a pointed-arched stained glass window. But it is undoubtedly the entrance door of the tower that constitutes one of the most interesting elements of the façade. Its sculpted arch is surmounted by a pointed finial while, in the space between the accolade and the lintel, two coats of arms appear, one of which may bear the arms of the family of Vivonne. Inside the tower, a magnificent spiral staircase serves the different levels. Illuminated by a window with window seats, it culminates in a remarkable wooden balustrade from the 18th century and leads, in particular, to the bedroom attributed to the famous knight of Landreau, the last occupant of the house. On each level, two main rooms and two secondary rooms have retained exceptional authenticity. Old tiles, fireplaces, beams, and original volumes compose a decor of rare coherence. Here, nothing or almost nothing has been distorted. This is precisely what gives this residence its unique character. To the north, the castle communicates on the ground floor with the main residence. This part, having undergone various transformations over time, particularly related to its use as the farmer's residence, presents a less heritage character but offers, on the other hand, particularly interesting additional living potential, allowing various projects to be considered. Under the building, a staircase leads to a vaulted underground room. But it is perhaps even deeper that the most fascinating testimony of the history of the place is found: a perfectly preserved refuge tunnel, undoubtedly over a thousand years old and very much older than the castle walls, none of which seem to date back beyond the 15th century. The property thus reveals itself as a true open-air history book and appeals to those who seek much more than a mere residence: to those who wish to acquire a place, a history, an atmosphere, and a heritage to preserve and transmit. An extraordinary family residence, a cultural or tourist project: the possibilities are multiple and could be envisaged in respect of the soul and history of this exceptional site. It is now up to you to write the next chapter of its story.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Castle Fresnay-sur-Sarthe (72)

Réf. 4801: a beautiful château near Alençon, 40 km from Le Mans. Located on the edge of the famous Alpes Mancelles, the property is set in unspoilt countryside, yet remains just a few kilometres from a prefecture town. In the immediate vicinity of Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, a ‘small town of character’ that will charm you with its fortified town built on a rocky promontory offering an exceptional view over the meandering Sarthe river, this property also offers easy access to the motorway and the SNCF rail network. Once past the charming entrance gate, you cross the grounds to reach the attractive 19th-century castle, built of rendered stone and topped with a slate roof. Symmetrical on one side, with a central section flanked by two corner turrets and an elegant canopy at its centre, it is not symmetrical on the other, as the façade features a rectangular tower, likely a remnant of the original château, on which a 16th-century architectural detail can be seen. An elegant gallery has also been added to the façade, providing easy access to the ground floor and a welcoming entrance.

Ref.4926 : 19th-C. Château surrounded by a charming 7.2 acre park in Mayenne department Located in the historic Province of Maine, now within the department of Mayenne, this château enjoys a peaceful setting in the heart of a village. Just 3 km away, a market town of approximately 3,000 inhabitants provides all everyday amenities and services, including supermarkets, schools, a pharmacy, restaurants and a full range of local shops. The property also benefits from excellent accessibility: Paris is approximately 250 km away, the motorway is just 13 km from the estate, and two TGV high-speed railway stations are located 23 km and 27 km away respectively. The rendered rubble-stone construction is enhanced by grey stone surrounds to the windows and doors; the turrets and dormer windows are built in limestone. The entire property is covered with natural slate. The interior layout, arranged around three staircases, provides particularly functional circulation and allows for a variety of possible uses. Extending from east to west, the château offers approximately 215 sqm of living space per floor over three levels, totalling around 650 sqm, excluding the cellars and attics. A few steps lead up to the entrance porch, bordered by topiary shrubs, inviting us into the residence: Ground floor: entrance hall (17 sqm) with access to the main staircase, small drawing room (28 sqm), large drawing room (35 sqm), dining room (44 sqm, ceiling height of 3.22 m), study (20 sqm) giving access to two turrets, one of which contains a spiral staircase, service entrance (19 sqm) with access to a third turret, boiler room (21 sqm), service staircase and cloakrooms. First floor (mainly laid with oak parquet flooring): landing and corridor leading to 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 shower room and WC. Second floor (mainly laid with fir parquet flooring): landing and corridor leading to 7 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 shower room and WC. Attic: attic spaces beneath the roof structure, accessible via two staircases. Basement: two vaulted cellars, accessible from both inside and outside. Occupied for nearly thirty years by an association, the château underwent alterations and improvements to meet the needs of the community. It has nevertheless retained a significant proportion of its original decorative features, including its oak parquet floors, oak panelling, marble fireplaces, an elaborately crafted beamed ceiling, the original window fittings and fasteners, and other period details. OUTBUILDINGS : The property is approached through an entrance gatehouse, which marks the access to the estate. The outbuildings, arranged around the château and throughout the park, form a harmonious ensemble of buildings with a variety of uses. Two ancillary buildings, situated to the south of the château and symmetrically positioned on either side of the service courtyard, each provide approximately 140 sqm. A / Right-hand outbuilding: this building is arranged over two storeys and provides approximately 70 sqm on each level: - Ground floor: entrance hall, kitchen, 37 sqm reception room, WC and staircase. - First floor: a large 45 sqm room and two smaller rooms. B / Left-hand outbuilding: built in symmetry with the first outbuilding, this second building also provides approximately 70 sqm on each level. - Ground floor: oratory, former bread oven, sanitary facilities and two confessionals. - First floor: four offices. These two ancillary buildings were fitted out for communal use. They will require modernisation works. On each building, one roof slope is covered with slate and appears to be in fair condition, while the other is temporarily covered and will require complete re-roofing. C / Orangery: situated to the north-east of the château, the orangery comprises: - Ground floor: a reception room of approximately 80 sqm, a kitchen and a sanitary block (four WCs). - First floor: five bedrooms. Renovation works were carried out between 2005 and 2009. D / Lean-to outbuildings: set further back within the park, a series of lean-to outbuildings built against the boundary wall remain, formerly used as a henhouse and a sheepfold. GROUND : The landscaped park, designed in the English style, is planted with magnificent specimen trees, most of which are believed to date from the construction of the château. Cedars, horse chestnuts, plane trees, oaks and maples form a mature arboreal heritage, standing as timeless guardians of the estate and lending the grounds their majestic character. At the far end of the park lies an old pond, the banks—and most likely the bed—of which are lined with remarkable stonework. The property extends over 7.2 acres (2,9 hectares) and is offered with vacant possession.

Listed castle Le Mans (72)

A Neo-Gothic chateau, listed as a Historical Monument & sold furnished, with its outbuildings & grounds, on nearly 15 ha, 15 km from Le Mans.

Advancing through the landscaped grounds provides views, on one side, of the chateau’s symmetrical northern façade, whereas, 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, while, to the west, at a distance from the buildings -- on the site of the rose garden and its pools as shown in Edouard André's original plans -- a swimming pool has been added. As for the grassy grounds, they lead to a pond below, which reflects the tall trees’ foliage, whereas, following on from there, the walls of the former vegetable garden, where a tennis court has been created, close the property off from the outside. The chateau, listed as a regional Historical Monument, was edified in 1844 in a Neo-Gothic style, while its plaster-coated exteriors, mostly symmetrical and rather distinct to the north and south, are topped with pedimented dormers decorated with moulded stone and, specifically, coats of arms. With slate roofs, punctuated with finials, the chateau's interiors feature 18th-century inspired décor, which is, in turn, supplemented with Art Deco details. In addition, the grounds, designed in 1877, are also listed as a national Historical Monument, whereas 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.
