manor with reception room for sale The Loire Area, France

10 minutes from Saumur, in an event venue of nearly 5 hectares, a 17th-century manor with a dovecote, outbuildings, a body of water, and moats. From the entrance of the city, a gravelled path leads to an imposing wrought iron gate, flanked by two horse chestnut trees and framed by two stone pilasters with bossage, topped with Médicis vases. The former manor is arranged in a rectangular layout. The noble dwelling occupies the southern side. Raised over three levels in tuffeau under a slate roof, it features façades adorned with numerous openings with varied arches: round, basket-handle, or flat-band. Gables with triangular or capucine pediments punctuate the roofs on both slopes. At a right angle to the west, a square stone dovecote is topped with a four-sided roof, pierced with bull's-eye windows and surmounted by an openwork lantern. The building is flanked by two wrought iron glasshouses. To the north, two barns close the courtyard, one of which is now used for receptions. A slightly recessed building to the northwest houses two lodgings and garages. The park is organized around a body of water and an orchard to the north, as well as a French yew garden, extended by a tennis court to the southwest. Water-filled moats delineate the spaces.This description has been automatically translated from French.
