In Montsoreau, a house reimagined by a heritage architect, its loggia and its panorama over the Loire and the castle. On a cobblestone square of the village, the house rises three levels in tuffeau stone. The main façade oriented to the south, coated with sand and lime, reveals the tuffeau around the window frames. The roof is made of slate, punctuated by two dormers with lowered arches. On the ground floor, the entrance leads to a living room open to a dining room and leads to a kitchen. The floors are tiled with a black and white cement checkerboard pattern. The exposed beams highlight the reception areas, while the living room is arranged around a brick fireplace equipped with a stove. From the kitchen, a quarter-turn staircase leads to the upper floors. On the first floor, a tiled landing distributes a toilet and a bathroom that opens onto a balcony. A corridor with terracotta tiles serves two south-facing bedrooms, one of which has a stone fireplace. On the second floor, the landing opens onto a spacious attic bedroom, extending from north to south. An approximately 11 m² loggia, with an oak structure and clad in chestnut paneling and poplar cladding, extends the space and offers a panoramic view of the castle and the Loire.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Réf. 4770 : Impresive 19th C. château 34km from Angers. Built not far from the banks of the Loire and near charming, typical Loire Valley villages, this sumptuous château, designed by renowned architects, is set in a pristine environment, as can be seen on the hillsides of the “Loire des Promontoires.” This setting, with its rolling countryside and wooded landscapes, provides a harmonious backdrop worthy of the most opulent estates found in Maine-et-Loire during that era. Owned by members of an illustrious family for over eight centuries, it is undoubtedly a reflection of an era that saw the flourishing of numerous châteaux throughout the region, embodying French-style grandeur and comfort.

It also stands out for its economic and cultural vitality, of which the Puy du Fou estate is a flagship. In everyday life, the property offers a pleasant living environment. Its central location makes it easily accessible from the major economic hubs of western France, and essential shops and services are nearby. Built of tuffeau stone and terracotta tiles to a design featuring five storeys and a double depth, with a slate roof, the château presents classical façades on the outside, enlivened by the interplay of vertical and horizontal lines formed by the corner string courses, spandrels, bands and a continuous cornice. The main façade consists of a central section flanked by a projecting section and extended by two wings, whilst the opposite façade adopts a composition structured around a central projecting section topped by a half-dome and framed by two return wings. The whole is dotted with sculpted motifs and heraldic elements evoking the history and alliances of the commissioning family.
