Réf. 4927: A charming manor house in a picturesque setting near Laval and Sainte-Suzanne (Mayenne department). Situated in the former province of Maine, now part of the Mayenne department, this property is set in unspoilt countryside, in the heart of a particularly peaceful hedgerow landscape. Just a few kilometres away, a local town provides the main shops and everyday amenities. The property also benefits from an easily accessible location, close to Laval and the motorway linking Paris to Brittany. THE ERVE VALLEY To the East of the Mayenne, the Erve Valley offers a remarkable landscape, shaped by the river and dotted with meadows, woods and gently rolling hills. This unspoilt environment provides a particularly pleasant setting, where sunken lanes, green valleys and charming villages alternate. At the heart of this valley lies Sainte-Suzanne, listed among the ‘Most Beautiful Villages of France’, whose silhouette—dominated by the castle and the church—is one of the Mayenne’s most iconic landscapes. The medieval town, with its ramparts and ancient alleyways, bears witness to the rich history of this region, whilst the Erve Valley offers numerous opportunities for walks and for exploring unspoilt natural surroundings. The area thus retains a deeply rural and heritage-rich identity, whilst benefiting from its proximity to Laval, the prefecture of Mayenne, and its many services, shops and facilities. Furthermore, Laval’s TGV station allows travellers to reach Paris in under an hour and a half, providing easy access to the capital. This location thus combines the charm and tranquillity of a rural setting with excellent transport links, in an area particularly sought-after for the quality of its landscapes and the richness of its heritage.) Built from sandstone and Bernay stone, and roofed with flat tiles, this manor house has an L-shaped layout. Its façades, facing mainly south-east and south-west, offer lovely views of the gardens and the surrounding countryside. The property has a total living area of approximately 210 sqm (excluding a convertible loft of approximately 45 sqm) and comprises: - On the ground floor: kitchen (16 m²), utility room (12 m²), dining room (26 m²), large living room (45 m²), study (21 m²), landing and toilet (10 m²). - Upstairs: accessible via the main staircase: en-suite comprising a bedroom and bathroom (20 m²), 3 bedrooms (13, 12 and 17 m²), 1 bathroom (6 m²), toilet on the landing (12 m²); accessible via a staircase leading from the study: mezzanine and convertible attic (45 m², not included in the living area); Semi-underground cellar beneath a small section of the house. The house features some interesting architectural elements, including: marble or small terracotta tile flooring, a monumental fireplace, a Louis XV-style sandstone fireplace, etc. Outbuildings : The outbuildings are arranged around a courtyard to the south-west of the manor house. They comprise: A/ A building housing two garages and a storeroom, with a slate roof; B/ A former kennel with a hexagonal layout, a distinctive building also with a slate roof; C/ L-shaped stables comprising five horse boxes and a storeroom. The grounds, covering a total area of 6 acres, offer a particularly harmonious landscape, organised around the house situated in a central position. To the South, a small pond enhances the property and forms part of a pleasant walking route, featuring, in particular, an elegant weeping willow. To the North lies a remarkable botanical garden, rich in a wide variety of tree species, including: cedar, Scots pine, Sequoia sempervirens, Ginkgo biloba, ornamental thuja, Magnolia soulangeana, Magnolia grandiflora, and others. To the West, the vegetable and flower garden extends this landscaped area, this time adorned with numerous varieties of flowers (roses, irises, chive flowers, devil’s-bit scabious, phlox, rhododendrons, etc.) To the East, a few meadows complete the property and lend it a wonderful variety of uses and views.

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.
