Formerly part of the province of Anjou, the town is now part of the Mayenne department. Laval is approximately 30 km away and Paris less than 300 km. The TGV stations at Laval, Angers and Sablé-sur-Sarthe can be reached in 30 to 45 minutes. Château-Gontier offers all essential amenities (shops, schools, a hospital, sports and cultural facilities) as well as a remarkable historic centre featuring, in particular, the former 17th-century Ursuline convent, the 11th-C; Romanesque church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, and numerous mansions and half-timbered houses. The current owners’ family purchased it in 1963 and, as they no longer live in the area, have now decided to put it up for sale. Built of rubble stone and featuring brick and limestone elements, the house stands on granite foundations.

On the second floor: 2 bedrooms (each with a floor area of 14 sqm), one with a washbasin, and an attic (25 sqm). A cellar running the full length of the main building (excluding the wing), including the boiler room.
