Castle Angers Lac De Maine - 12 bedrooms - 600m²

Ref. 4623: 19th-century château and 292-hectare estate for sale between Angers and Saumur

In the heart of the Loire Valley, this estate took shape during the 19th century, on the site of a former medieval manor and its priory. Its elegant tuffeau stone château, set against the hillside and facing a beautifully rolling landscape, is testament to the quality of its setting.

The property enjoys a privileged position, away from any disturbance yet still easily accessible. Just 5 km from all amenities, the towns of Angers and Saumur are 30 minutes away, while Tours, Nantes and Le Mans are also readily accessible by road and rail.

The estate is distinguished by its absolute tranquillity and its natural surroundings, typical of the Loire region, offering charm and authenticity to those who live here.

Built of tuffeau stone beneath a slate roof and arranged over three levels, this remarkable residence comprises a main building, with two further tuffeau stone pavilions extending from its north-facing façade, both under slate roofs. One is arranged over four levels and the other over three. To the south, the building has a classical five-bay façade, enhanced by pilaster corner quoins, several large arched openings and a remarkable “flat roof”, concealed behind cornices topped with a balustrade.

With a floor area of approximately 600 m², it is laid out as follows:

Ground floor: a welcoming entrance hall leads to a sitting room and a reception room, then to a long gallery giving access to a billiard room, kitchen and dining room. A handsome wooden staircase with balusters leads to the upper floors. Features on this level include beautiful traditional Versailles-pattern oak parquet flooring, marble fireplaces, a monumental tuffeau stone fireplace, decorative wooden dado rails, exposed beams and moulded ceiling details.

First floor: a spacious landing leads to seven generous bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. Features include parquet and terracotta-tiled floors, exposed tuffeau stone walls, marble fireplaces, joinery with stained glass, and ceilings with exposed beams and mouldings.

Second floor: this comprises five bedrooms and a shower room, as well as attic space and former staff bedrooms. The floors on this level are finished in parquet, terracotta tiles and ceramic tiles.

Basement: charming vaulted tuffeau stone cellars beneath the tuffeau stone balustraded terrace to the north of the château.

The estate includes several outbuildings of notable architectural quality, offering a wide range of possible uses.

- Former tuffeau stone stables beneath a slate roof, superbly renovated using traditional methods and fine materials, as evidenced by a copper ridge finial in the form of a “rond de lie”.
