Ref. 4027: LORDLY MANOR 13th C. AT 20 KM FROM SAUMUR This magnificent manor house, whose origins date back to the 13th century, is ideally located in the heart of the Loire Anjou Touraine regional park, on the very site of an ancient Gallo-Roman site. Benefiting from a calm and pleasant environment, the property is located not far from the town of Angers, a major town in a department renowned for its rich historical heritage, and from the town of Saumur with its famous Cadre Noir. Close to the largest monastic city in Europe, the sublime Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, and the chateaux of the Loire, this seigniorial building seems perfectly adapted to both private and professional life objectives. The main shops are a 5 minute drive from the nearby town. It will also provide those who will stay at the manor house with an ideal location both for its proximity to the various activities of the region (golf courses, châteaux, museums, water sports, wine cellars, Cadre Noir de Saumur, etc.) and for the ease of access to the motorways leading to the major cities and professional areas of Paris, Le Mans, Angers, Saumur and Nantes. The origins of this property go back to the time of the presence of an ancient Abbey founded in the 12th century in the place of the current manor, which would explain the existence of an ancient chapel in this architectural complex. Occupied in turn by the French and then the English during the Hundred Years' War, the latter left the Abbey in the 14th century, leaving it in ruins. In the 15th century, the estate became a fortress with four square, crenellated towers, one of which still stands today. It was surrounded by a vast moat communicating with the pond and the nearby river. A drawbridge served it. Remains of this drawbridge still exist today. The property owes its present form to the restoration work launched in the 1960s by Mr Guy Desjonqueres. Built of tufa stone under slate roofs, this charming manor house, flanked by a square tower and two wings set at right angles to each other, is ostensibly reminiscent of the spirit of the seigneuries of the period whose singular heritage it bears. A south-facing façade and large openings in its central body give the interior spaces a luminous atmosphere. With a surface area of 430 sqm, its interior spaces are distributed as follows : Ground floor : a large hallway leading to a lounge on the right, giving access to the right wing of the manor house, which has 3 bedrooms on the same level with their own bathrooms. To the left is a large dining room with a fireplace, a kitchen and a large lounge with high ceilings, at the back of which is a majestic and imposing tufa fireplace of the most beautiful effect. First floor: To the right, a landing giving access to 4 bedrooms with bathrooms and a study. On the left, a sumptuous room fitted out in the former chapel, used as a library to this day. On the second floor and in the attic, additional volumes offer interesting potential for conversion as required. The property has several outbuildings as follows: An annex that can be used as a second home, near to which are the remains of a drawbridge dating from the 11th century. An old building with a stable and a barn, which could be used as a shed or a workshop. A large garage equipped with an automated and secure locking system. A good-sized awning that can be used as a wintering place for a vehicle or boat. Pretty English park planted with beautiful ornamental trees (cedars, oaks, willows, pines, ...), French garden, the whole constituting a remarkable ensemble of about 6.42 acres (2.6 ha).

Ref.4203: Atypical wine-producing property for sale in Anjou, with an old cavier mill. We're just a stone's throw from Saumur in the heart of the Loire Anjou Touraine Regional Nature Park, close to a small historic Angevin town that we owe to Foulques Nera, a famous lord of the Middle Ages and Count of Anjou in the 10th and 11th centuries, who turned it into a stronghold by building dungeons and fiefs. It is here, in this setting of splendid residences and land covered with vines as far as the eye can see, that this charming 18th century windmill has been completely restored. Less than 5 minutes away, you'll find a host of shops and amenities (shops, post office, train, services, etc.). Not far away, the major towns of Saumur (18 minutes) and Doué la Fontaine (13 minutes) offer all amenities as well as a wide range of tourist, cultural and sporting activities. This inspiring place, where terroirs and 'old stones' meet, offers an uninterrupted view over the surrounding countryside, bringing together all the ingredients that make a common place an exceptional place. This ingeniously simple former mill dating from 1759 was built of rubble stone, mainly limestone (sandstone and tufa), and topped with a conical dome that once supported the mill's blades. Covering an area of around 110 sqm, it is accessed by a wide doorway topped by an attractive arched tufa lintel. On the ground floor, a remarkable living-dining room with a round barrel vault gives way to a lounge area laid out under the conical vault of the mill. With several openings, it diffuses a pleasant light reverberated by the natural light of the tufa stone. This main room leads on either side to a room that has been converted into a bedroom, another with a tufa fireplace serving as a small sitting room or boudoir, which can also be used as a bedroom, and then a kitchen and shower room, all of which provide an intimate setting. The roof terrace is accessed via a charming mezzanine and a stone staircase in the work. The view from this terrace over the surrounding vineyards and one of the finest architectural jewels in Anjou's heritage is quite simply splendid. The Moulin Cavier vineyard covers just under 2,47 acres. Planted on clay-limestone soil that is particularly favourable to the development of the Cabernet Franc grape variety grown here, and benefiting from optimum sunshine, this estate is run by an independent winegrower who uses responsible viticulture methods. It produces around 4,000 bottles a year of a wine that is widely recognised by professionals in the trade, to the extent that some of these bottles are featured on the menus of renowned gourmet restaurants throughout France.

A former boatman’s house facing the River Loire, nestled in a historical riverside village near the charming town of Saumur. This former boatman’s house dates back to the 19th century. It stands in the village’s maze of narrow streets, looking down over the River Loire and offering an unrivalled panoramic view. It is an unusual dwelling, rising up from a wine merchant's shop on the ground floor. Boatmen on the River Loire would come to this house to rest during dangerous expeditions on their wooden riverboats. Their wide-bow boats would transport sand and fish, as well as travellers. The house’s facade is plain and made of tuffeau stone, punctuated by belt courses, windows aligned in a single row, with wrought-iron guard-rails railings and wooden louvred shutters. It is also bordered by two Doric corner pilasters. Its three-sided slate roof features a dormer that has a triangular pediment with dentils, identical to the cornice running around its edge.

In a small historic town in Anjou, an 18th-century townhouse with a garden. The townhouse - specifically its entrance door, garage, and boiler room - faces a square in the city center landscaped with rose bushes and topiaries. Numerous shops, including pharmacies, bakeries, and banks, among others, can be found in this part of town. At the back, the house opens onto a terrace paved with ancient cobblestones and a lawn, enclosed by walls, featuring a small outbuilding, a well, and a small corner pavilion made of tuffeau stone. Built with lime plastered stone and rubble, the residence spans one level above the ground floor and consists of three sections that have been reconfigured over the centuries. The central section, with a single bay, is slightly advanced compared to the lateral sections. On the street side, the ground floor and the upper floor topped with an attic and a slate roof, rise above a basement that houses the garage, the boiler room, and a cellar. The front facade, made of stone, is coated with a beige-colored plaster and adorned with cornerstones, molded cornices and window sills, sculpted window frames, an entrance, a garage door, straight windows on the upper floor, arched windows on the attic, and louvered shutters. The rear facade of the central section is made of tuffeau stone, coated with an orange-ocher plaster, with matching window frames, cornerstones, cornices, and dormer windows. This facade has recently been restored. The gable roofs, covered in slate, are adorned with dormer windows, each topped with a triangular pediment in the two sections on the left, featuring frames sculpted in stone in the left section and a more understated design in the right section.

A gourmet restaurant with unobstructed views of the Loire River in the Loire Valley, in one of France’s officially most beautiful villages. Well-placed opposite the village’s small port, there is an unbeatable view of the cabined, flat-bottomed barges and fustereau boats floating gently on the river. The building stands near the castle, in the historical part of the village. It is made of tuffeau stone with a slate roof, dates from the 19th century and was originally two semi-detached homes. It plays host to a gastronomic restaurant that is renowned throughout the region. The building has three storeys, one of which is under the sloping roof. The sober main façade overlooks the Loire River through a number of windows and is topped by a dormer with a denticulated triangular terminal.
