Castle Sable-sur-sarthe (72)

A chateau from the 16th and 17th centuries listed as a Historical Monument, its outbuildings and equestrian facilities over 18 hectares of grounds between the Sarthe, Mayenne and Maine-et-Loire departments, near Sablé. Two drives lead to a carriage entrance topped with a pediment that opens onto a grand courtyard. On one side, is the chateau and, on the other, an immense outbuilding, both façades of which are punctuated by pruned yew trees, while a covered well is located in the centre. The current chateau corresponds to the former abbatial dwelling: this is where the Abbot resided, in the western wing of the abbey that once stood here. During the 18th century, the court was at Versailles and the buildings were spruced up and converted so they could be rented out, therefore providing the abbey with some revenue. With three storeys, including an attic level, the chateau is made out of plaster-coated stone and rubble stone. On the side facing the grounds, its slate hipped roof is cadenced by four bull’s-eye windows, while, on the side facing the courtyard, there are three attic dormer windows grouped together under a single pediment in addition to four other dormer windows. Both the chateau’s east and west exteriors are crowned with a pediment on their roofs, which is then repeated above the central entrance on each side. With window and door surrounds decorated with smooth rusticated stonework, the three doors on the chateau’s façade are topped with either curvilinear or triangular pediments, while its quoins, cornice and dormer windows are made out of ashlar stone. Inside, the chateau has conserved its original décor: cartouches, medallions, chimneybreasts, decorative window and door surrounds, wood panelling, marble and stone, while the size of the magnificent rooms as well as their floor-to-ceiling height add to the chateau’s overall grandeur. In addition to the topiary garden on the chateau’s eastern side, there is also a dovecote, orchard, vegetable garden, ornamental trees and a stream, which is straddled by an old bridge flanked by the columns of an ancient carriage entrance. All around, the grounds are made up of pastures, tall trees and a small wood, while equestrian facilities have been created to the west of the outbuilding, on the side facing the grounds. These include wooden paddocks, a riding ring and an area for the horses to rest and relax. The carriage entrance, the chateau’s exteriors as well as its entrance hall, vast living room, dining room and seven bedrooms are listed as national historical monuments as are the well and bridge, while the outbuilding’s exteriors and the dovecote are registered as regional historical monuments.

Castle La Ferté-Bernard (72)

A 15th-century castle and listed historical monument with independent houses for restoration with an estate of more than 30 hectares, in the Perche area of the Sarthe department. The castle stands between two forests, in the centre of a vast estate of a little more than 30 hectares. Local chronicles tell of the first traces of fortifications in the 11th century, before the estate became the stronghold of an important bourgeois family from Le Mans at the beginning of the 14th century. The central section of the current castle dates back to the second half of the 15th century. The western façade of this T-shaped building has retained its medieval appearance, with chamfered openings, half-cross windows with moulded windowsills, arrow slits and cannon openings. It is most likely that the site was fortified in the late 16th century, when the moats were dug, the towers were built at the corners of the building and a drawbridge was installed. In the 17th century, two lateral pavilions with towers increased the overall surface. A former chapel, which is now a library, as well as a dovecote were already featured on sales deeds in this period. The walls and enclosures around the grounds and garden also date from this era. In the late 19th century, the castle was acquired by an Egyptologist and underwent its last major changes. The front right pavilion was redesigned in Neo-Gothic style, the height of the rear tower was increased into something resembling a keep and the entrance formed a castellum topped with fake machicolations. Away from the space around the castle, surrounded by moats with an outbuilding, a large, landscaped garden enclosed by walls stretches out to the north, including a meadow with a small artificial island and a wood. Near to the castle, to the north and west, the former ornamental garden, orchard, vegetable garden, greenhouse and dog pens can be found. A large outbuilding stands alongside the course of the walls to the east. There is a large fishpond on the other side, near the millstones of a sizeable seigniorial mill, which was replaced at the beginning of the 20th century by a small electric plant. At the end of a private lane, there are ruins of brick-built farm buildings, as well as a large, circular dovecote dating from 1609. Running alongside the walls, a road leads to two authentic small houses, one of which is available for rent, while the other needs to be restored. In the upper reaches of the castle’s grounds, there are unoccupied meadows extending over around 25 hectares. Beyond the drawbridge, on the other side of the small village street, there is a poplar tree lined 400-metre-long avenue that leads to another entrance to the village. It was created in the 18th century and provides another perspective of the castle, as well as access without having to pass through the village. Two square pavilions were situated at its southern tip. Nearby, a village house with a garden, which is currently rented out, is also included in the sale.

Castle Fresnay-sur-Sarthe (72)

Ref.4427 : Beautiful French castle for sale in Pays de la Loire, Sarthe department. This property is located around 200 km from Paris, in the Sarthe department, 40 km north-west of Le Mans, in the heart of the countryside, in a pretty, green, undulating region, close to the Normandie Maine regional park. The Normandie Maine regional park covers more than 250,000ha and includes 164 communes in the Orne, Manche, Mayenne and Sarthe departments, spanning two regions: Normandy and Pays de la Loire. The Normandie-Maine Park territory is built around a series of sandstone ridges crowned by vast forests, stretching 100 kilometers from west to east and including the highest peaks in western France. Over the centuries, this contrasting geomorphology has contributed to the organization of the region. On the one hand, there are the high altitude, steeply sloping areas, which are less populated and suffer from a combination of farming constraints (isolation, poor exposure, shallow, stony soils, etc.). These areas have had and continue to have fragile, rather extensive farming systems, enabling them to maintain a certain “authenticity” to their landscapes. On the other hand, there are the more humanized and often more open sectors, which are subject to more intensive farming systems and are home to the majority of the area's inhabitants. With approx. 620sqm of living space, the château comprises : Ground floor: Entrance via tower with spiral staircase, 24sqm, HSP (ceiling height): 4.12m (19th-century tiled floor, beamed ceilings).

Castle Le Mans (72)

A 16th century castle with an artist's cottage and outbuildings surrounded by a remarkable sculpted garden and 23 hectares of rolling countryside to the west of Le Mans. A small, little-used road winds through the hedged farmland from a nearby village and leads to the property, which is set in a dominant position in the middle of nature. The estate extends over around 23 hectares of parkland, meadows and farmland. At the entrance, there is a space in the middle of the greenery where vehicles can be parked. Visitors can go in two different directions. The first passage opens onto a remarkable garden measuring over a hectare, from which meadows grazed by cows and a chateau can be glimpsed on the horizon. The other access is via a first courtyard with a large outbuilding and its former stable on one side. It is followed by a loft-workshop at the far end of the courtyard, an old house and, to one side, the rear part of the chateau. To the back of this building there is a courtyard with another agricultural outbuilding. The remains of the ancient walls of the medieval castle, ruined during the Hundred Years' War, are still there. Most of the buildings have rubble stone facades with straight windows and steeply pitched slate or flat tile gable roofs. At the foot of the chateau, there are green spaces surrounded by outbuildings used for a variety of purposes, including a workshop, orangery, greenhouse and kiosk. Facing east-west, the chateau was built between 1520 and 1524 by the 29th abbess, Catherine de Couësme, who came from an ancient and powerful family from the Haut-Maine region. The building follows the principles of the Italian architect Sebastiano Serlio, who was in fashion during the Renaissance.
