Réf. 4855 : a charming castle 30 km from Angers. In Upper Anjou, this charming little château, built in the early 19th century at the behest of the current owners’ ancestors, stands on a promontory and commands a commanding view over the Oudon valley. This elegant residence immediately captivates with the purity of its lines and the quality of its setting in the heart of a beautiful wooded park, a veritable haven of greenery in which it has found its place remarkably well. Close to Angers, and not far from the market town of Le Lion d’Angers, which is a five-minute drive away, this property enjoys a favourable location between Paris and the coast, and a central position linking it to the major cities of the West: Nantes, Rennes, Le Mans and Bordeaux. Just a stone’s throw away, the Parc de l’Isle Briand is home to one of the world’s most renowned equestrian venues. It is bordered by the Lion d’Angers racecourse, which hosts several internationally recognised equestrian events each year. Quiet yet not isolated, the property captivates with both the purity of its classical style and the unobstructed views offered by the surrounding countryside. The setting is ideal for family life as well as for a refined country residence. The château’s architecture, characterised by great simplicity, reflects the style of the fine mansions of the Anjou region: a symmetrical layout, tall windows and well-balanced proportions. The eye is drawn here more to the overall harmony than to decorative elements, lending the whole building a great deal of distinction. Inspired by the Loire Valley style, it was built in local stone and tuffeau limestone to a four-storey plan with a slate roof and four bays arranged around a slightly projecting central bay, thanks to the monumental entrance portal, framed by simple pilasters supporting a moulded entablature with dentils. The particularly elegant semi-circular door is surmounted by a fan-shaped transom window that lends the whole structure a sense of delicacy and verticality. Also of note is the presence, as on the south side, of a pretty double-curved staircase on the north side. These interior spaces cover an area of approximately 400 sqm and are laid out as follows: On the raised ground floor: an entrance hall, from which a remarkable balustrade staircase rises, provides access to a series of adjoining rooms—the reception room, music room, study, large sitting room and dining room—and to a hallway leading to a kitchen and a small sitting room. These rooms are adorned with attractive decorative features, marble fireplaces, beautiful antique parquet flooring, wooden picture rails and moulded ceilings. On the first floor: a landing leads to a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom on one side, and to a gallery leading to three bedrooms, a dressing room and two bathrooms. Just like on the ground floor, you can see antique parquet flooring, attractive decorative features, marble fireplaces, wooden picture rails and ornate ceilings. On the second floor: a corridor leads to former staff bedrooms in the attic. On the basement: former service rooms used for storage and as a boiler room. Outbuildings : The property comprises the following outbuildings: 1/ A former U-shaped stable building enclosing a square courtyard to the east, with a walled rear courtyard to the west, built of local stone and tuffeau with a slate roof (recently re-roofed). It comprises several rooms used for storage, workshops and a garage, as well as two functional dwellings: The annexe: on the ground floor, a living room with a kitchen area and a staircase leading to the upper floor, plus a toilet. On the first floor, three bedrooms, a shower room and a toilet. Features include original terracotta floor tiles, simple window frames and double glazing, heating via a wood-burning insert and electric convector heaters, hot water supplied by an electric boiler, and a private sewage system in need of upgrading. The caretaker’s accommodation: on the ground floor, entrance hall with staircase leading to the upper floor, toilet, kitchen and bedroom on the same level. On the first floor, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. Features single window frames and double glazing, heating via a wood-burning stove, hot water supplied by an electric boiler, private sewage system in need of updating. 2/ Other outbuildings: sheepfold, adjoining stable, kennel and woodshed in need of renovation. A large and magnificent 16 acres of English-style parkland, featuring beautiful trees dating back several centuries (cedars, redwoods, oaks, chestnut trees, sweet chestnuts, camellias, etc.), a charming little pond and a large walled vegetable garden. There is a well on the property. One immediately feels a sense of tranquillity and harmony, as if the place naturally invites you to slow down, contemplate and savour an environment that has remained unspoilt.

The imposing silhouette of the manor rises in front, with on one side, a wing of outbuildings, and on the other, the beginning of a garden that surrounds the building.

Tuffeau pepper pots rest on an ornate base and mark each corner of the castle. The facades are enriched with molded string courses and sculpted decorations in the shape of X under the first floor windows. All the windows are perfectly symmetrical, and on the front facade, facing south, the entrance door is surmounted by a balcony supported by two rams with griffin paws and a wrought iron railing. The castle underwent significant restoration work from 2006 to 2008.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A family chateau where a famous novelist lived, tucked away in the beautiful countryside of France’s Anjou province. The chateau stands in the shade of age-old trees that tower in English-style grounds. The edifice was recently restored. Its roofing, insulation, electricity, plumbing, windows and sanitation system were renovated. Its 40-metre-long facade stretches from north to south. The chateau has a main section with dual-aspect rooms. This section is framed between a pavilion at its north end and a second pavilion at its south end. Two towers also adjoin it. One of these towers houses a chapel. To the south and west of the dwelling, there are 6,500m² of tree-dotted grounds that are easy to maintain. The property was the family home of the famous French novelist Hervé Bazin. The current owner recreated the atmosphere of Bazin’s novel ‘Vipère au Poing’ here and opened the chateau to visitors. The property has been entirely adapted to comply with norms for France’s accreditation for a building to be open to the public. It now resembles a museum and can be used as a business.

25 minutes from Angers, a 19th-century château, its park of nearly 7 hectares, and its numerous outbuildings. In a rural environment, the property is accessible via a departmental road. A second access exists to the southeast, via a country path. At the center of the estate, the château is surrounded by a gravel courtyard. The main façades are oriented north-south. Originally probably built in the 18th century, the residence was completely transformed during the 1870s. The main building is flanked to the east by a pavilion and to the west by a corbelled tower. The entire structure is built of rubble schist coated with lime. The frames of the openings and the moldings of the façades are made of tuffeau stone. In the center and to the north, a central projecting body is dressed in tuffeau and covered with a pavilion roof. The entrance door is topped by a large opening extended by an ornate wrought iron balcony. This is also crowned by a semi-circular pediment pierced by a central dormer window. All the tall slate roofs are topped with zinc ridge caps and red brick chimney stacks. The outbuildings are located to the east and south. No longer in use, they are all built of rubble schist dressed and coated with lime. The roofs are slate, and the window frames are red brick. The park and meadows extend to the west.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 17th-century dwelling with its convertible outbuildings and grounds of 1.7 hectares, on the outskirts of a village near Angers and the banks of the Loire. A country road provides access to the property’s entrance gate, which opens onto a lane that traverses a portion of the grounds, passes in front of the dwelling’s façade, before ending in the outbuildings’ courtyard, facing west. As for the grounds, they extend behind the dwelling towards the east, while the current edifice, built over older foundations, dates mainly from the 17th and 19th centuries. Facing east-west, it is made up of a central three-storey pavilion, including one level under the eaves, and two single-storey side pavilions. With mostly dual-aspect rooms, its slate hipped roofs are punctuated by dormer windows, whereas its wooden front doors, each decorated with a carved saltire, date from the 17th century and are topped with a curvilinear cornice and highlighted by rusticated stonework that reaches all the way to the roofline. In addition, on the first floor, pilasters support a triangular pediment adorned with a count’s coat of arms, more understated rusticated stonework was used to draw attention to the back door and all of the dwelling’s exterior architectural details – rusticated stonework, cornices, quoins, dormers and window/door surrounds – were constructed out of tuffeau stone. Last, but not least, the property features two outbuildings, built later during the 19th century, the larger one of which could be easily converted, while the grounds also include a swimming pool as well as a small pavilion, nestled within the grounds and partially enclosed by a wall, which has been transformed into a guest cottage.
