Castle Chateau-gontier (53)

Ref.4358 : French listed chateau to be restored for sale in Pays de la Loire. Situated in the south of the Mayenne department, in the old historic province of Anjou, this charming property is built on the outskirts of a small village. Château-Gontier, 10 km away, is a dynamic town steeped in history. This ancient medieval town, through which the river Mayenne flows, boasts a rich property heritage. These include the former Ursuline Convent (dating from the 17th century), which now houses a national theatre, the Romanesque church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste (dating from the 11th century) with its interior frescoes, and the timber-framed houses and concentration of private mansions that symbolise the wealth of this town. This charming, authentic little château is listed on the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques, a guarantee of its architectural quality. The stone building has a slate roof. Tufa stone adorns the facades of the house (bosses, stringcourses, cornices, frames). The château faces north and south and spans a floor surface area of approx. 365 sqm under the rafters. The north facade, which includes the sculpted pediment, leads to the entrance to the property, guarded by two round turrets. The south facade features a square tower overlooking the garden. A splendid granite stairway with double steps leads to the 18th century wooden double-leaf entrance door, topped by a half-moon window, which leads to : The ground floor comprises a 25 sqm entrance hall with a remarkable stone stairway leading to a 66 sqm lounge on the left, a 15 sqm kitchen opposite in the square tower, a 30 sqm dining room on the right, a former 17.5 sqm bathroom, a 35 sqm bedroom and a 7.5 sqm boudoir in a small room projecting from the south facade.

Cellars accessible from both inside and outside, including a former kitchen with vegetable garden and well. This property is of very high architectural quality. Most of the decorative features (fireplaces, overmantels, doors, etc.) have been preserved inside, although some have been dismantled. This property has been uninhabited for many years. It needs to be completely restored. The window frames were changed around ten years ago. The old heating system is out of order. The north-west entrance is guarded by two round stone turrets with slate roofs, which flank the wooden gateway. To the north-west of the château, overlooking the courtyard, is an attractive 18th century caretaker's cottage with a Mansard roof pierced with stone dormer windows. It comprises an old wooden staircase and four rooms. In the eastern extension of the castle: garage and storage room with old oil tank. Attic above. To the south-west of the castle: another Renaissance-style building with a beautiful pilastered door used as garages.

Manor Craon (53)

Ref.4343 : Beautiful french manor house for sale in Pays de la Loire This property is located in Mayenne, in the former historic province of Anjou, on the borders of Brittany and not far from Maine. In the heart of the countryside, the immediate surroundings are pastoral and wooded. A small, historic, medieval town provides services just a few kilometres away. A leisure/camping centre with a 123– acre (50-hectare) lake offering a wide range of activities is just 15 minutes away by car. This former 16th-century manor house, strategically located on the border with Brittany, served as a collection centre for the gabelle tax. At the time, the seigneury included around ten farms and covered more than 247 acres (100 hectares). Today, it is a pleasant residence, extended by a dwelling in the 19th century. The building is built of rubble stone, covered with ochre-coloured rendering. The window surrounds are of tufa stone or brick, and the quoins are of red stone. The whole building is covered in slate. The house is built east-west. The interior of the manor house is accessed via a doorway topped with an accolade and fireplaces. The total floor surface area is approx. 540sqm and comprises 2 sections that are as much interconnected as they are independent: the manor house and the dwelling. THE MANOR HOUSE (285 sqm) : Ground floor: entrance hall (16sqm), 2 lounges (33 and 36 sqm), kitchen (23 sqm), boiler room, pantry and toilet; the whole is laid out around a magnificent wooden spiral staircase in Gothic style. 1st floor: master bedroom (35sqm) with shower and bathroom, dressing room and toilet, recreation room (26.5 sqm), bedroom (23 sqm), shower room and toilet. 2nd floor: 2 bedrooms (20 sqm each) and shower room with toilet. The interior of the manor house is typical of its era and has retained its defensive features. Thick walls with several openings, exposed beams and joists, terracotta floors and monumental fireplaces. THE DWELLING (255 sqm) : Ground floor: en suite: games room with staircase and wc, access to covered swimming pool (9x4m heated by heat pump), dining room, kitchen, small sitting room with staircase, 2 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms with wc. First floor: 4 bedrooms, 4 shower rooms with wc. This part of the house, which dates back to the 19th century, has been perfectly fitted out for entertaining. It has plenty of sleeping capacity and shower rooms in good condition. The adjoining rooms bring this part of the house to life, as they communicate perfectly with each other. It's easy to imagine the conviviality that reigns here, moving from one living room to another without having to push a door open. The property has been completely restored since it was handed down in 2 campaigns of work; first the farmhouse in the 2000s, then the manor house in 2006-2007. The two parts are independent in terms of heating, electrical system, sanitary facilities and water supply. The property as a whole offers good accommodation capacity, which can be used on a day-to-day basis as well as occasionally during the year for entertaining guests. The work that has been carried out is of a very high standard. The restoration work carried out by the current owners some twenty years ago was carried out in its entirety and with great care. The original architectural quality has been respected and even enhanced. To the south-east of the property is a slate-roofed outbuilding. It comprises two rooms of 90 and 40sqm, used as a shed and garage; close to the dwelling a building with two garage spaces; to the west of the manor house, 2 buildings, probably former pigsties, with slate roofs. The entire property is surrounded by hedges. Some of the trees that make up the park have been planted by the current owners, and the vegetation is beautiful and starting to grow. There are oaks, lime trees, chestnut trees and many fruit trees. The green setting around the property provides a pleasant area for maintenance. There is an orchard to the south of the property and a chestnut grove to the north. Well in the grounds. The total surface area is 3.47 acres (1 ha 40 a 76ca).

Private mansion with garden Mayenne (53)

Ref. 4357: 17th C. Private mansion for sale, to be restored, in the Mayenne departement This former mansion is located in the heart of the historic town of Mayenne, on an emblematic square. With a population of 12,000 and boasting an 11th-century château, the town has been awarded the 'Pays d'art et d'histoire' label and offers a full range of shops and services (hospital, doctors, chemists, supermarkets, secondary schools, etc.). Laval (TGV and motorway) is around thirty kilometres away. The area around the town boasts beautiful rolling countryside, with the Alpes Mancelles not far away and the department's highest peak, Mont des Avaloirs. Many tourist attractions are within easy reach in Nord Mayenne, including the Notre Dame de Pontmain basilica, the village of Lassay-les-Châteaux, which has been awarded the 'Petite cité de caractère' label, and the Gallo-Roman town of Jublains. We enter the property through a large porch located beneath a building, shielding the square from prying eyes. A small courtyard runs in front of the hotel, followed by a garden: courtyard and garden. The hotel has a U-shaped floor plan with a round turret in the inner left-hand corner, overlooking the courtyard. Most of the living rooms face north-east-south-west. The building dates from the 17th century and was remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries. The walls are of rendered stone, covered with slate. Grey stone is used for the plinths, architraves, cornices and quoins. On the roof, two charming zinc bull's-eyes face the entrance porch. Like eyes, they gaze out at guests as they arrive. They head for the entrance door, framed by two Ionic pilasters. Pushing open the door, they discover a building of around 400 sqm comprising : -Ground floor: the tiled entrance hall with stairway (18 sqm) leads to the right to a wood-panelled, partitioned lounge (48 sqm) and a room at right-angles, to the left to a large lounge (56 sqm) with parquet flooring and marble fireplace, and at right-angles to the kitchen, scullery and toilet. -1st floor: 3 bedrooms with alcoves, one with a dressing room and bathroom, the other two with toilets. -2nd floor: 3 bedrooms with washbasins, one bedroom with bathroom and a separate shower room. Vaulted cellars under the central body of the building. A second staircase in the turret serves the floors from top to bottom. The hotel is complete and has all the architectural quality typical of this type of building: fireplaces, wood panelling, parquet floors, high ceilings. The reception rooms feature large windows that bathe the interiors in light. This was a place for entertaining, as you can see from the rooms... The outbuildings include : -The porch building through which the hotel is accessed, which is a local. This building does not overlook the hotel's inner courtyard. It has 2 rooms on the ground floor, another on the first floor and an attic; it will be available for sale; -A pretty covered stairway with a wrought iron banister, between the hotel and the premises; a charming mantling adorns the bottom of the roof, protecting it; -A stone garage building with a slate mansard roof, accessible from the street. Passing through the hotel, the stoop overlooks a 130 sqm garden enclosed by high stone walls. It has an entrance leading to the lane. A few ornamental trees and an old, dishevelled greenhouse enhance the 530 sqm of grounds.

Castle Laval (53)

In the Pays de la Loire region, 15 minutes from Laval, on over 16 ha, a striking 18th century listed castle, fully restored. A long driveway, bordered by trees and crossing the parkland’s grasslands and woods, leads from the village to the property. Entrance gates open on to a very wide courtyard, partially surrounded by a dry moat and laid out in front of the chateau’s regular, elegant facade. The outbuildings, set out around the courtyard, comprise stables, a dovecote, pigsties, a barn, a small corner pavilion, a caretaker’s cottage and, lastly, a chapel. A central parterre, displaying its original design, takes up a large section of the courtyard in front of the chateau. A copse of very old trees stands to one side. A regular, terraced, back garden, reached via granite steps, looks down on to the rear of the chateau. The first castle dated from medieval times. In the 16th century, its status was raised to that of a “châtellenie” (an officially recognised castle and its land). All that remains of these eras are the dovecote, the chapel as well as the castle’s two pavilions. At the beginning of the 18th century, these two pavilions were connected by a vast building. The chateau, the outbuildings and parklands underwent major restoration works in 2010. A good number of these features are now protected with French Historic Monument listing (by order dated 13 March 1989): the chateau and the chapel; the dovecote facades and roofs; the perimeter wall with its moat and its support walls; the facades and roof of the little, 18th century corner pavilion; the garden with its fencing and its towers as well as the shelter over the central well; the wood and, lastly, the large alleyways in the parklands. Nowadays economic activities, notably linked to culture and events, are held by the current owners. But the potential of the buildings, not all actually in use, and the existing parklands which extend over a total of more than 16 hectares, make it possible to envisage other development possibilities, especially as the town of Laval is near and Paris and Rennes are within easy reach.

Property Mayenne (53)

Ref. 4350: Pretty property for sale in the Mayenne French department. This hillside mill stands on the banks of a small, fast-flowing river in the beautiful, peaceful countryside of northern Mayenne. Its origins date back to 1433. The site is an old quarry. Laval (TGV and motorway) is 40 km away. The town of Mayenne (population 12,000) and its 11th-century fortified castle are 9 km away. This historic town has all the shops and services you need (hospital, doctors, chemists, supermarkets, secondary schools, etc.). Access to the property is via a winding road that runs along the hillside to a porch. This porch surmounts a gate that opens to reveal several buildings facing each other. On the left is the mill, which still has its millstream and large wooden wheel. This is the main dwelling. The octagonal tower gives the stone, slate-roofed building a defensive appearance. Opposite, just a few metres away, is the former miller's house. This is a second house, complete and independent of the first. The façade features attractive pale red shutters that complement the colourful surroundings. The extension includes various sheds and a third large building that used to house the stables. The buildings are arranged around a paved driveway, between the hillside and the river. The whole complex faces east and west. The two residential buildings break down as follows: The mill: (165 sqm) Ground floor: entrance hall (8 sqm) with terracotta floor and stairway, lounge/dining room (44.5 sqm) with terracotta floor, wooden fireplace with wood burner, access to the terrace including the mill wheel, kitchen (14 sqm), toilet. Upstairs, a landing leads to 3 bedrooms (21, 13 and 19 sqm), a study (11 sqm), a bathroom (10 sqm), a shower room (6.5 sqm) and wc. The house is decorated in a fairly contemporary style and is in good condition. However, the house has preserved some very fine remnants of its former architecture; a former owner, through his profession, was able to bring back numerous elements to integrate them into the building (oak beams, carved oak doors, cupboards and wood panelling, etc.). Through the windows, you can see the winding river, the park and its monochrome of colours, the willow tree whose foliage reveals the strength of the wind. The miller's house: (133 sqm) Ground floor: living room (32 sqm) with staircase, tiled floor, exposed beams, fireplace with wood burner, dining room (18 sqm) with fireplace, kitchen (13 sqm), utility room (15 sqm) with shower room and wc. First floor: 3 bedrooms (18, 11 and 8.5 sqm), study (9.5 sqm), bathroom with toilet. The floors are carpeted or PVC. Attic above. The outbuildings, running north-south from the miller's house, include : 2 sheds (one of which is a stone shed with an awning) to the left of the miller's house. These are used to store various supplies and garden maintenance equipment; 1 stone shed with a slate roof, to the right of the miller's house. It is used as a workshop and houses the electricity meters for both houses; A slate-covered stone wood shed and a high covered courtyard; The large stable building, which still has its feeding troughs, with a large living room with fireplace, an old kitchen and an old bathroom and toilet on the ground floor. Upstairs, a landing leads to two former bedrooms currently used for storage. The building has electric wiring, electric radiators and double glazing. Everything is old, but it could be used as a third dwelling once it has been refurbished. The property is accessed via a communal road that serves no other dwelling apart from the mill. From the windows of the dwellings and in the paved courtyard, you can't help but admire the charming, rejuvenating garden. The garden's beautiful vegetation perfectly complements the site between the hillside and the river (maples, oaks, poplars, rhododendrons, roses, aromas, etc.). At its centre, between the calm, controlled reach and the fast-flowing river, stands a majestic weeping willow. On the other side of the river, spanned by a delicate little bridge, is a rolling field of just over a hectare available for hire. Continuing along the stream, you come to the dam. Here, the presence of your neighbour, whose house is next door to you, is not felt. He has his own access road, making the two properties perfectly independent. The property has a total surface area of more than 5 acres.

Manor Mayenne (53)

Ref.4044. Charming 17th C. dwelling and its reception building in Mayenne department. 'In this land of moor and heather, the passage where one meets this beautiful ruin lacks neither charm nor freshness, with its forest and deep valley. These are the words of Abbé Angot to describe the environment of this property Located in the north of the Mayenne, historically in the Bas Maine, this 17th century dwelling is built in the countryside, in a relatively isolated, intimate and charming environment. In the middle of an old medieval fortress surrounded by water, it comprises the remains of an old castle and its wings, one of which is used as a home and the other as a reception room. 'Curious', 'aesthetic', 'historical' and 'authentic' define this place, which bewitches the walkers who get lost in it. A small resource town is 10 km away by car; all shops and services are provided by a dynamic and historic town 19 km away. The dwelling is reached by a single bridge spanning the moat, passing under a delightful porch of vermiculated stonework, of which the semicircular arch and its pedestrian door remain. The ruins of the castle and the parapet walk, the moat, the base of two imposing defensive towers and the two large communal wings, which are the only parts that can be inhabited today, remain from the old fortification, whose size and splendour of yesteryear can be imagined. In the middle of the enclosure is a formal garden with an old gates in the centre. The two outbuildings are arranged symmetrically on either side of the garden, back-to-back with the old castle that once stood at the end of the courtyard. They are built of stone, rendered with lime, covered with slate and the roofs are adorned with charming bull's eyes; the east wing is fitted out as a vast reception room and the west wing is the dwelling which comprises: On the ground floor: a large room partially separated into two volumes by an entrance hatch which is glazed; this room includes two monumental fireplaces, cushions, exposed beams and the start of the stairway to the first floor; to the south, a bedroom with a fireplace, a terracotta floor laid between oak slats and exposed beams, and adjoining a bathroom - wc; to the north, a vast kitchen with a fireplace and a terracotta and stone floor, and to follow a technical room (laundry/boiler room), and a toilet. On the first floor: separated by hemp and lime partitions, 4 bedrooms with shower room and wc; the floors are covered with sea rush. The rooms face east and south, and on the opposite side, the thick, high walls formed the wall topped by its parapet walk. It should be emphasised that the work carried out was done with a technical and artistic concern, the result of which is remarkable. Here again, the adjectives curious, aesthetic, historical and authentic are used. The living area of the house is approximately 350sqm. Opposite the dwelling, the former stables (twin building of the dwelling) have been converted into a reception area and the work was completed in April 2020. The large room measures approximately 250sqm. The floor is made of tinted cement, the walls are plastered with lime and the framework is covered with an elegant formwork in the shape of an overturned ship's hull, giving the room volume and sound absorption. In the extension there is a room for the caterer and a sanitary block (toilet and washbasin); A stone outbuilding with a slate roof used as an equipment shed is set back from the dwelling; A picturesque chapel 3.2 km away by car, covered with shingles. The fortified enclosure dominates the old garden to the south, which is to be recreated, and is bordered by raised paths offering a bucolic walk around it. A few small, unoccupied meadows complete the ensemble for a total surface area of approximately 6.17 acres (2.59 ha). The general atmosphere bears witness to a place steeped in history and legends: 'tradition has it that a hound's head, sculpted on one of the walls of the easements, indicates the exact spot where a barrel of gold is hidden, but this treasure has not been discovered'.

The work carried out by the current owner has made it possible to save and restore this site, which seemed condemned to a slow decline. The place is now saved and alive! This singular place is calling for a new owner willing to humbly continue the preservation of this thousand-year-old site.
