luxury property for sale Solesmes, France

A chateau from the 16th and 17th centuries listed as a Historical Monument, its outbuildings and equestrian facilities over 18 hectares of grounds between the Sarthe, Mayenne and Maine-et-Loire departments, near Sablé. Two drives lead to a carriage entrance topped with a pediment that opens onto a grand courtyard. On one side, is the chateau and, on the other, an immense outbuilding, both façades of which are punctuated by pruned yew trees, while a covered well is located in the centre. The current chateau corresponds to the former abbatial dwelling: this is where the Abbot resided, in the western wing of the abbey that once stood here. During the 18th century, the court was at Versailles and the buildings were spruced up and converted so they could be rented out, therefore providing the abbey with some revenue. With three storeys, including an attic level, the chateau is made out of plaster-coated stone and rubble stone. On the side facing the grounds, its slate hipped roof is cadenced by four bull’s-eye windows, while, on the side facing the courtyard, there are three attic dormer windows grouped together under a single pediment in addition to four other dormer windows. Both the chateau’s east and west exteriors are crowned with a pediment on their roofs, which is then repeated above the central entrance on each side. With window and door surrounds decorated with smooth rusticated stonework, the three doors on the chateau’s façade are topped with either curvilinear or triangular pediments, while its quoins, cornice and dormer windows are made out of ashlar stone. Inside, the chateau has conserved its original décor: cartouches, medallions, chimneybreasts, decorative window and door surrounds, wood panelling, marble and stone, while the size of the magnificent rooms as well as their floor-to-ceiling height add to the chateau’s overall grandeur. In addition to the topiary garden on the chateau’s eastern side, there is also a dovecote, orchard, vegetable garden, ornamental trees and a stream, which is straddled by an old bridge flanked by the columns of an ancient carriage entrance. All around, the grounds are made up of pastures, tall trees and a small wood, while equestrian facilities have been created to the west of the outbuilding, on the side facing the grounds. These include wooden paddocks, a riding ring and an area for the horses to rest and relax. The carriage entrance, the chateau’s exteriors as well as its entrance hall, vast living room, dining room and seven bedrooms are listed as national historical monuments as are the well and bridge, while the outbuilding’s exteriors and the dovecote are registered as regional historical monuments.

In the south of Sarthe, between La Flèche and Sablé, on more than 3 hectares, a restored former farm with outbuildings and equestrian facilities. Bordered by meadows, small woods, and hedgerows, a country road leads to the entrance of the property. A wooden gate opens onto a tree-filled garden and a courtyard. This courtyard serves four buildings: a renovated farmhouse where the main residence is located, former pigsties, and two barns, all restored. One of the barns can be converted for housing. With its four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the main dwelling is oriented southwest toward the courtyard and northeast toward an orchard. An additional bedroom and bathroom can be created. The building has two levels, one under the roof peak and clad in exposed stone, rhythmically featuring doors and arched windows framed with typical regional brick. A covered area is adjoined to the back facade. The gabled roof is made of modern tiles, interrupted by three dormer windows on the courtyard side and three roof windows on the orchard side. All openings are double-glazed except for the dormers. The entire property is surrounded by gardens and meadows over more than 3 hectares, with a large pond.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Réf. 4814 : A beautiful property with outbuildings in Mayenne. This property is situated in Haut-Anjou, on the border between Mayenne and Maine-et-Loire, set in wooded countryside and 3 km from a village. A small town of 3,000 inhabitants, about 10 km away, offers all the amenities you need for daily life. The pretty town of Château-Gontier is 14 km away, Angers 40 km, and Paris 280 km. The TGV station at Sablé-sur-Sarthe is 25 km away, and the Etriché-Châteauneuf station (TER) is 15 km away. The ancient medieval town of Château-Gontier boasts a rich architectural heritage. Among other things, the former Ursuline Convent (dating from the 17th century) now houses a national theatre, the Romanesque church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste (dating from the 11th century) with its wall frescoes, and the half-timbered houses and concentration of mansions symbolising the wealth of this town. The house was built in the 18th century as an extension of a 17th-century building, and a small annexe from that period still stands today. Built in the classical style, it is a plastered stone building with a slate roof. The exhibition runs through the building, as it opens to the west onto a courtyard enclosed by low walls and flanked by two outbuildings, and to the east onto the garden.
