In a peaceful valley of forest and field lies this magnificent abbey, a listed Hitstorical Monument, with a proud history and splendid architectural features in its exterior and interior. Set within a single estate of 18 ha 08 a 96 ca crossed by a small stream, this elegant château rises at the heart of a landscaped property. Originally the abbatial residence of a monastery, the estate features a pleasant tree-lined entrance drive, a beautiful courtyard of honour, and a well-designed park enhanced by an old hornbeam walk and fine ornamental trees. A small kitchen garden and meadows dotted with ancient oak trees complete the setting. The property enjoys a privileged location between Le Mans and Angers, in the midst of preserved countryside. A village with essential shops lies only 3 km away, while a small town less than 10 km from the property provides full services and a TGV railway station. The estate is also easily accessible via the nearby motorway. The château corresponds to the former abbot’s residence of the monastery. Because the commendatory abbots generally lived at court or in their dioceses, the residence was arranged and decorated from the mid-18th century onward in order to be rented to private occupants. This use explains the refined and residential character of the interior decoration, much of which has survived in remarkable condition. Offering approximately 400 m² on each level, the ground floor is organized around a central vestibule paved with cabochon stone tiles and positioned along the main axis of the façade. This space leads to the reception rooms and formerly provided access to the cloister. Two lateral doors framed with sculpted cartouches decorate the vestibule: one adorned with stylised foliage in a pure Rocaille style, the other with a medallion depicting an armoured figure holding a quiver and crowned with a laurel wreath. To the left of the vestibule lies a large salon measuring 7.29 m by 10.72 m, with stone flooring and four windows overlooking the courtyard of honour and the park. The room retains its original 18th-century décor. The central door, with its original woodwork and iron fittings, is surmounted by a sculpted panel depicting a trophy of musical instruments accompanied by a bust and garlands. The four side doors are decorated with stucco medallions representing allegories of the four seasons, created by itinerant artists of Italian origin—decorative work that is relatively rare in the region. The stone fireplace, with Rocaille ornamentation, was originally painted to imitate marble, while the grey wall tones today echo the colours used before the French Revolution. This wing of the ground floor also includes a small tiled sitting room with a wooden fireplace, a kitchen-dining room with terracotta flooring, a bedroom with dressing room and modern bathroom, and a service staircase. To the right of the vestibule is an oak-parqueted study with a 19th-century marble fireplace, created from the former waiting room of the abbatial residence, which was divided during the 19th century to form this office and a passage toward the dining room. The dining room retains most of its Louis XV decorative elements: the fountain, fireplace and sideboards beneath the windows are made of black marble from Solesmes. The fireplace mantel, designed and painted to resemble carved panelling, is made of sculpted stone, as are the frame of the central doorway decorated with a basket of flowers and the fountain surround crowned by a sculpted head of Neptune. A second vestibule leads to the main staircase, a wooden stair with square balusters dating from the late 17th century. Its first flight is built into the thickness of the wall, leaving access to the library, whose doorway is surmounted by a sculpted 19th-century head. This level also includes the library, a dining room installed in the former kitchen with terracotta flooring, a monumental fireplace and an original cooking range, as well as a small kitchen, a laundry room, various service rooms, a small cellar and a WC. The first floor is arranged around a gallery that serves four bedrooms with bathrooms or washrooms, two additional bedrooms, a children’s bedroom, a bathroom and a linen room. In the south wing there is an independent apartment composed of a living room with an 18th-century fireplace, a library, a kitchen and a bedroom with bathroom and WC. A large attic extends above the whole building. The outbuildings include several service buildings containing storage sheds, a workshop, stables, a tack room, a barn, a dovecote, a sheepfold, and former bakery and dairy buildings. A caretaker’s house, entirely restored in recent years, comprises an entrance hall, tiled kitchen, back kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and WC. The property is also equipped with full equestrian facilities. The stable features Regupol rubber flooring in the stalls and in the wash area, with Röwer & Rüb boxes (4 x 3.6 m) made of hardwood, galvanized and painted burgundy, and a solarium equipped with UV and infrared lamps. The indoor arena, of Olympic dimensions (21 x 61 m), is drained around the perimeter and every ten metres. It rests on a crushed stone foundation with a compacted layer, topped with 14 to 16 cm of Fontainebleau sand mixed with high-quality Belgian fibres. The arena includes safety mirrors (6 m in the centre and 3 m in each corner) and an irrigation system supplied by water from the river. A lunging ring with a diameter of 18 m, built on a compacted crushed-stone foundation, is covered with a mixture of Fontainebleau sand, natural sand and fibres to create a deeper base. Wooden paddocks complete the equestrian facilities. The entrance gatehouse, the façades and roofs of the abbot’s residence, the well, the vestibule and staircase, the large salon and dining room on the ground floor, the seven bedrooms on the first floor, and the bridge over the stream are all listed as **Historic Monuments**. The façades and roofs of the outbuildings, together with the dovecote in its entirety, are listed on the **Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments**. The property therefore benefits from the favourable tax regime associated with Historic Monument status.

Historic Manor House Listed as a Monument, Set Within an Unspoilt Landscaped Estate Location and accessibility Set within a peaceful and unspoilt rural environment, this distinguished historic property lies in the northern part of the Pays de la Loire region, in the department of Mayenne, close to the town of Sillé-le-Guillaume. The latter provides a full range of everyday amenities as well as a railway station offering regular services to Le Mans, reached in approximately twenty minutes. The location offers a rare balance between privacy and ease of access. Le Mans, with its TGV high-speed rail connections, is around 50 kilometres away. Alençon lies approximately 30 kilometres to the north, while Laval, which benefits from an airport, is less than an hour’s drive. An access to the motorway network can be reached in about thirty minutes, allowing travel to Paris in roughly two and a half hours. Two nearby villages offer essential local shops, including a bakery and grocery store, while the broader commercial and service infrastructure of Sillé-le-Guillaume ensures day-to-day convenience without compromising the rural character of the setting. ⸻ A discreet approach and a carefully structured natural setting The property is approached via a quiet country lane, followed by a private driveway that crosses open pastureland and gently rolling countryside. This leads to an historic entrance porch, which opens onto a spacious main courtyard forming the heart of the estate. The manor house is arranged around this courtyard, accompanied by several stone-built outbuildings positioned to the east and west, while an additional annex completes the enclosure. A secondary access road runs alongside the main residence and serves the outbuildings located to the rear of the property. Meadows extend on either side of the driveway and continue northwards into an established oak woodland, which then stretches westward. To the rear of the manor, a landscaped garden overlooks a gently flowing stream. Beyond this watercourse, two further meadows are accessed via a stone bridge, creating a continuous and harmonious estate layout. ⸻ The manor house – Architectural character Constructed of stone and rendered rubble masonry, the manor is partially built over ancient cellars. It rises over four levels, including two attic storeys, and presents a refined architectural composition typical of historic noble residences in the region. The slate roofs are pitched on two sides and punctuated by sculpted dormer windows that animate the elevations. Stone-mullioned windows rhythmically punctuate the façades, while a double-flight stone staircase leads to the principal entrance, enhancing the sense of arrival. At the rear, the main building is complemented by a series of distinctive architectural features: a square tower capped with a pavilion roof, a stair tower, and a round tower topped with a conical “pepper-pot” roof. A smaller adjoining structure, attached to the eastern side of the square tower, rises over two levels beneath a hipped slate roof. An independent cellar, accessible from the exterior, is built of small-cut sandstone masonry and is thought to date from the 11th or 12th centuries, attesting to the long history of the site. The façades and roofs of the manor, along with the low eastern wing, are officially listed as Historic Monuments. ⸻ Interior layout Ground floor The main entrance opens directly into a generous reception room combining living and dining areas. This central space is also accessible via a secondary entrance located within the stair tower, allowing for fluid circulation. From here, access is provided to a study, a kitchen housed within the square tower, and a corridor with guest facilities leading to the round tower. The lower level of this tower has been converted into a unique wellness area, comprising a bathroom, sauna, fireplace, and vaulted ceiling. The kitchen connects to an adjoining service room used as a pantry and boiler room. Throughout this level, the property retains a wealth of period features, including monumental granite fireplaces, stone window surrounds, and paneled wooden doors fitted with original ironwork, some crowned with carved stone decorations. Stained glass panels remain in the upper sections of the windows. Floors are largely laid with terracotta tiles, and ceilings feature exposed timber beams. ⸻ First floor A stone spiral staircase leads to the first floor, which includes a bedroom and a shower room located within the round tower, complete with a fireplace and separate toilet. A first-floor sitting room provides access to a second bedroom located in the square tower, followed by a corridor leading to an additional shower room, separate toilet facilities, and a third bedroom. This level is distinguished by large fireplaces with painted granite surrounds. One partition wall features a decorated beam adorned with painted cartouches depicting geometric motifs, floral arrangements, and stylised landscapes characteristic of 17th-century ornamentation. Terracotta floors and exposed beams continue throughout. ⸻ Second floor The staircase continues to the upper level, where a landing gives access to a bedroom in the round tower, featuring a painted fireplace, historic wood panelling, and a ceiling with radiating timber beams. A water point adjoins this room. A separate landing leads to two further bedrooms, a bathroom, independent toilet facilities, and a storage room. An additional bedroom, located in the square tower, benefits from a substantial stone and brick fireplace. A series of interconnected attics, totalling approximately 41 sqm, link the upper levels of the main house and both towers. Exposed roof timbers offer further potential for adaptation, subject to the necessary permissions. ⸻ Outbuildings Several stone-built outbuildings with slate roofs are arranged around the main courtyard. To the east, a two-storey former agricultural building offers approximately 240 sqm of floor space. Stone-paved floors and original feeding racks remain in place, reflecting its historic use. It is currently arranged as a workshop, with a large upper-level hall. To the west of the courtyard, a second outbuilding extends over roughly 220 sqm across two levels, including attic space, and is presently used for storage and as a granary. To the rear of the manor, a large open-sided barn supported by two stone pillars provides approximately 117 sqm of ground surface, with a ridge height of 8.75 metres. ⸻ Grounds and landscape The estate combines structured gardens, open pastureland, and mature woodland into a cohesive and serene environment. The access drive, lined with apple trees, leads to a grassed courtyard centred around a mature lime tree. Surrounding paths are planted with roses, trees, and shrubs of varied species. Below the manor, a medieval-inspired garden overlooks the stream. It is arranged into enclosed green “rooms” bordered by hornbeam hedges and enhanced by box and yew topiary. One section is dedicated to medicinal plants, accompanied by the gentle sound of running water. The meadows, reached via a stone bridge, extend to the north and south-west of the property. They are framed by hedgerows and winding watercourses, while the oak woodland borders the land to the north and continues westward, completing this rare and harmonious historic estate.
