Just 15 minutes from Angers, in the heart of the prestigious Savennières wine region, this fully restored 17th-century manor comes with a guest house, outbuildings and a swimming pool, set within 1.82 hectares of grounds with no neighbours or overlooking properties. The estate provides approximately 407 sqm of living space: a 285 sqm main manor and an independent 122 sqm guest house. It offers up to six bedrooms and four bathrooms, together with five garages, a workshop, cellar, tack room and stables suitable for a horse. The entire property has undergone a comprehensive interior and exterior renovation. Roofs, façades, electrical systems, technical installations and living spaces have all been carefully restored. The kitchens and bathrooms are recent, the upper floors feature solid wood flooring, and a high-performance gas boiler was installed less than two years ago. Both houses have a D energy performance rating and are ready for immediate occupation, with no work required. The manor is distinguished by its natural light and harmonious proportions. Its elegant rooms benefit from ceiling heights of up to 3.40 metres on the ground floor. The living room, dining room and kitchen are spacious while retaining a warm atmosphere. Traditional French-beamed ceilings, tuffeau stone fireplaces, wood panelling and terracotta floors blend naturally with the contemporary renovation. The recent kitchen combines fine materials with Siemens appliances. Upstairs, the slate, brick and tuffeau stone staircase leads to three large bedrooms, a library that could serve as a fourth bedroom, and two polished-concrete bathrooms. Facing the manor, the fully renovated guest house forms a genuine second residence. It includes a spacious reception room with polished-concrete flooring and a Smeg-equipped kitchen, while the upper floor offers two large en-suite bedrooms, allowing family and guests to stay in complete independence. The grounds include a formal French garden, mature trees, orchards, meadowland, a pond and a 4 × 9 metre swimming pool. The estate enjoys a rare setting, with uninterrupted 360-degree views across protected, non-buildable land.

The main building, set slightly above ground level, has a symmetrical façade with three bays across three stories topped with slate roofing, resting on a base of exposed local stone, and is flanked by two small wings that provide additional living space. The lime-plastered facades are punctuated by harped corner string courses and generous tuffeau stone window frames, whose arched pediments lend relief and grandeur to the overall design. A modillion cornice highlights the base of a tall, stepped slate roof, enlivened by three ornate dormers—two side oculi framing a central dormer—and punctuated by ridge finials. The courtyard-facing facade opens in the center with a stone staircase and faces a main courtyard arranged around a fountain. At the rear, the main building’s facade is finished with a pinkish stucco and overlooks a vast lean-to roof covered with canal tiles that is built against it, thus forming a link between the house and the garden. The contrast between slate, tiles, stucco, and tuffeau stone creates a silhouette that is both elegant and warm, typical of the style of the lavish bourgeois residences of that era and of the fusion of the architectural traditions of Anjou and Poitou.

In Anjou, at the exit of a village, an ancient priory from the 15th and 18th centuries on over 6 hectares. From the road, a tree-lined access path leads to the property. It culminates in a gravel courtyard, with a barn on one side and an agricultural shed on the other. In front, surrounded by old moats on two of its sides, the residence is preceded by an elevated terrace. Built on the remains of an old fortress, the original priory dates back to the 15th century. It was extensively remodeled and enlarged in the 18th century, as evidenced by the arrangement of the front facades, with their arched windows. The whole is now made up of two bodies of housing that meet at a right angle. The larger is oriented south-north, the second east-west. Constructed of stone rubble coated with lime, both buildings rise three levels, one of which is under the roof. They are topped with high slate roofs with three slopes, pierced by dormers in their middle. The framing of the windows, the skylights, the cornices, and the corner chains are made of tuffeau stone. The inscription "D.O.M. 1732," placed above the main entrance door, recalls the religious origins of the place.This description has been automatically translated from French.
