Near Mayenne, a 480 m² neo-Gothic château with outbuildings and riverside grounds of over 5 ha. A gateway flanked by a caretaker's house and a small annex gives onto a drive that leads to the château and its grounds. Louis Marchal, an architect from Laval, built the château in the early 20th century for the Marquis Robert de Négroni, owner of the neighbouring former ropeworks. It stands on the site of an earlier house. It is built of sandstone and granite rubble stone under a slate roof and has around 480 m² of floor area on four levels. Its neo-Gothic architecture is a composition of differentiated massing and rooflines. Corner turrets are capped with pepperpot roofs, chimney stacks stand in groups, and dormers have Gothic pediments. A cross and a weathervane top a small bell-turret. The château stands on slightly higher ground above the Mayenne, on an east-west axis, and overlooks the grounds, which slope down to the river.

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.

Two living rooms and a dining room provide space for conversation, leisurely meals and quieter moments.

Between family gatherings, a holiday rental or bed-and-breakfast venture could extend the pleasure of hosting, subject to the relevant requirements.

In the Centre region, a spectacular listed château and its outbuildings including vast reception rooms and gîtes well suited to events. The chateau was built in the 16th century and is listed as a historic monument (Monument Historique). It stands tall in the landscape. A square keep of dressed stone and three round towers mark its corners. Two elegant 16th-century wings retain their arcaded galleries, an echo of the Italian Renaissance. They make a magnificent setting for celebrations. The 19th-century wing faces south over the private part of the grounds and could become a most pleasant family home. The vast 17th-century service buildings stand slightly apart. They cover over 2,500 m² and have already been partly converted, including three reception rooms (100, 100, and 250 m²), a communal kitchen, and group gîtes in working order. The barn has a 380 m² concrete floor, is open to the grounds on the west, and can host larger receptions. Further outbuildings complete the complex.
