Castle Ingrandes-Le Fresne sur Loire (49)

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. Mature cedars, cypresses, pines, horse chestnuts, oaks and ash surround lawns and a small area of woodland, with a handsome avenue of horse chestnuts and rows of cypresses. 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. A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Loire château with exceptional grounds and an extensive built infrastructure — equally suited to a private family estate, a working property or an ambit

Castle Evron (53)

A Timeless Manor – Eastern Mayenne – 18.7 ha with Private Lake At the end of a tree-lined avenue of linden trees, through the woods, a rare and noble residence reveals itself. Here, time seems to stand still. This late 15th–early 16th century manor, listed in its entirety on the French Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments (ISMH), embodies the elegance of a preserved heritage, magnificently restored with extraordinary care. Behind its granite walls, 380 sqm of history unfold. Every stone, every beam, every monumental fireplace speaks of centuries past, while discreet, refined comforts allow for a modern and serene lifestyle. The Manor House The entrance is through the original granite spiral staircase tower. Inside, the rooms follow one another harmoniously: • a welcoming salon with a monumental fireplace, • a convivial kitchen, • a bedroom with terracotta tiles and exposed beams, • generous, light-filled bedrooms with carved fireplaces, • a unique bathroom still boasting a functional fireplace. Under the soaring roof, a breathtaking cathedral-like room showcases the original chestnut-beamed framework, with a private study and library nestled alongside.

Its vast open-plan space, crowned by a Louis XIV marble fireplace, is bathed in natural light through wide glass openings. Heated by underfloor systems and finished with polished concrete floors, it could easily be transformed into a guest residence, gallery, or secondary home. • A stone barn shelters the boiler and wood reserves. • The former pigsties have been converted into a charming workshop opening onto a paved courtyard. • A large outbuilding with garage (for two cars) and storage areas, in excellent structural condition, offers significant scope for conversion.

Location The property enjoys both seclusion and accessibility: • just 2 km from a small town with shops, services, and a primary school, • 4 km from the motorway, • 25 km from a TGV station, linking Paris in just 1h15. An additional 12 hectares of land are available upon request. ⸻ Highlights • An exceptional restoration, true to history and tradition. • A perfect balance between authenticity and contemporary comfort. • The beauty of the landscaped park with its 3.5 ha lake. • Immense potential in the restored outbuildings. • An ideal location: peaceful countryside, yet within easy reach of Paris. ⸻ A rare and timeless estate, where history, nature, and modern comfort come together to offer a unique art of living — ready for its next chapter.

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 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. Edified on the slope of a hill, Le Mans extends to the north of the property, past the woods, while behind tall pillars, the property is accessible via a tarmac driveway bordered by tall trees and flanked by an entrance pavilion, which houses the caretaker’s residence. 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.

Castle Angers (49)

Exclusive listing - “A quasi-royal château” - The finest and most outstanding 18th-century château in Anjou 300 hectares - Private racecourse -17th–18th century architecture - Magnificent park designed by Edouard André - Sumptuous 18th-century interior decoration featuring marble and wood paneling - Private racecourse - Listed historic monument - 300 km from Paris, Angers, Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire. Set within 300 hectares, this property of royal appearance, owned in the 19th century by descendants of the English royal family, stands as one of the most brilliant and sumptuous historic estates in western France, both for its classical 17th- and 18th-century architecture, its park designed by the great landscape architect Edouard André (notably responsible for the Monte Carlo park), and its interior decoration marked by superb 18th-century woodwork, a grand gallery, and a sumptuous marble salon; all overlooking, with a magnificent view, a rare private racecourse still in operation. The majestic private avenue, over one kilometer long and lined with century-old plane trees, winds through the park, offering superb vistas, and leads to a grand perspective revealing the most beautiful, brilliant, and elegant 18th-century château in Anjou, after passing through classical gardens of topiary, pools, and fountains. This property, described as “quasi-royal,” is clearly inspired by the Palace of Versailles: three grand approach perspectives, a U-shaped courtyard around a 17th-century building begun in 1635 and expanded in the 18th century with two lateral wings of outbuildings opening onto inner courtyards, and an east–west orientation capturing sunlight throughout the day. Beyond the gate and the ha-has, the château's elegant courtyard is overlooked by a statue of Minerva symbolizing peace. A series of French windows leads into a sumptuous 24-meter-long through gallery, adorned with monumental columns, cabochon flooring, flooded with light, and opening onto the garden through eight French windows with a magnificent axial view. On the park side, a grand and elegant double staircase leads to the first floor. At one end of the gallery, a majestic staircase with a beautiful, airy flight of stone steps and wrought-iron railing leads to the upper floor. Behind it lies a wood-paneled library with cabochon flooring, opening onto the garden at ground level. A through chapel, accessible from both inside and outside, features a superb main altar with a large carved wooden altarpiece with pilasters, Corinthian capitals, twisted columns with vine scrolls, and three paintings: The Flight into Egypt, The Adoration of the Magi, and The Visitation, along with a crucifix. Painted and armorial stained glass from the 16th century depict a knight and Saint James. At the other end of the gallery, a fine 18th-century wood-paneled salon with a marble fireplace opens onto the garden, the dining room, and the grand marble salon. The marble salon, directly inspired by the Salon of War and Salon of Peace at Versailles, occupies a neoclassical pavilion built specifically in 1780. With 6-meter ceilings and 8.4 meters beneath the dome, flooded with light from six large French windows, this 80 m² salon features sumptuous 18th-century decoration in French marble, mirrors, pilasters with Ionic capitals, medallions, a marble fireplace with gilded bronze and Italian micro-mosaics, marble mosaic flooring, and 18th-century Italian marble marquetry panels. Two terracotta overdoor panels bear inscriptions reflecting Enlightenment ideals. Beneath a monumental domed ceiling with trellis decoration and a balustraded gallery, its dual east and south exposure offers a splendid dominant view of the racecourse. It is one of the most exceptional 18th-century private interiors in France. A sumptuous neoclassical rotunda built in 1905 houses the grand dining room, adorned with superb natural oak 18th-century wood paneling. With 5.5-meter ceilings and 70 m² of space, it opens through three French windows onto the south terrace, decorated with a beautiful Italian pergola. Also on the ground floor: a smaller wood-paneled dining room, a vast theatrical staircase hall with wrought-iron railing, and a refined small salon with a marble fireplace. The spacious and bright kitchen opens onto the courtyard and retains fine original elements, complemented by three charming back kitchens and a breakfast room. Practical spaces include a boot room, laundry room, office, and guest facilities with early 20th-century character. On the main floor, the central section offers three large bedrooms richly decorated with 18th-century wood paneling, each with its own bathroom, while the south wing includes five additional bedrooms with several bathrooms, including a remarkable room decorated in Siena yellow marble. Upper levels provide numerous additional bedrooms, service areas, an independent apartment, and attics. The north wing, partly used for reception, includes a series of elegant reception rooms on the ground floor and a large through hall. The upper floors, in need of restoration, offer significant potential with many bedrooms and bathrooms enhanced by quality historic décor. The property also features extensive vaulted cellars and a swimming pool located to the south with a commanding view over the racecourse. Outbuildings: Stable courtyard to the north: stables, accommodations, former poultry houses. Service courtyard to the south: caretaker's house, office, laundry.

Le Mans, Sarthe, Pays de la Loire. Built for a princely family in 1882 on a T-shaped plan designed by Pierre-Félix Delarue (1795–1873), the chateau displays Napoléon III-style architecture, with a polychromy of materials evoking 17th-century French architecture: brick and cut stone with multi-pitched slate roofs and domes. This elegant chateau is sheltered by woodland in the heart of the Sarthe countryside. The entrance opens into a vast hall featuring a grand staircase with Neo-Gothic wood paneling. The large reception room (120 m²), decorated with wood paneling, opens through its original large bay windows onto a terrace with a double-flight staircase.
