luxury real estate for sale Chateau-gontier, France (page 2)

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.

This property is located in Mayenne, 30 minutes from Laval, 60 km from Le Mans and 250 km from Paris, near a village with all amenities and close to the motorway junction. This listed manor house presents a surface area of 380 sq.m. Built in 1522, it stands as a very beautiful example of skillfully restored regional architecture. Access is via a granite spiral staircase, which serves four floors (reception areas, two floors of bedrooms and a small watch room). Many original elements have been preserved, such as fireplaces, the spiral staircase, terracotta tiles, lime plaster, doors and high ceilings. A long building of 370 sq.m, entirely restored in a contemporary spirit at the foot of the tower, houses a workshop/show room, a large living room with fireplace, a bathroom, two rooms which can be used as bedrooms, a bathroom, a cellar and a garage. Upstairs, you will find an office, a living room and a room that can also be transformed into a bedroom. Opposite this is an outbuilding offering of approximately 300 sq.m on two levels (in need of renovation). There is also a barn and another small outbuilding. It all sits on over 18 hectares featuring beautiful bridle paths, woods, a 3-hectare pond, an orchard, meadows, a landscaped garden and lush and wild nature. Truly enchanting.
