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. The interior spaces of this residence, with a living area of approximately 250 sqm, are laid out as follows: On the ground floor, an entry hall featuring a beautiful staircase with wooden balusters leads, on one side, to a formal living room, and on the other, to a dining room adjoining a large kitchen, followed by an office and a laundry room/restroom. This level extends from the kitchen to the covered terrace under a lean-to roof, providing the manor with a vast additional living space. This area itself leads to a vaulted cellar and to the right wing of the manor, which includes a restroom, a reception room with a “winemaker’s counter” offering direct access to the pool area, a boiler room, and a laundry room. On this floor, you’ll find polychromatic ceramic tile floors and herringbone parquet, ornate wooden trim and picture rails, splendid tuffeau stone and marble fireplaces, and molded or exposed-beam ceilings. On the first floor, a landing leads to two bedrooms, a walk-in closet, and a comfortable bathroom. As on the ground floor, this level features hardwood floors and beautiful marble fireplaces. The right wing of the manor house includes a third bedroom accessible via an outdoor staircase and a wooden deck; together with its open kitchen and bathroom, it forms a separate studio that can also serve as an annex guesthouse. On the second floor, a second landing leads to two bedrooms, each equipped with a bathroom with a shower and toilet and a walk-in closet, adding two pleasant additional suites to the manor. The property includes several outbuildings that perfectly complement the estate and offer significant flexibility in use.
