A listed 17th and 18th century chateau and former winery in a 73-hectare estate in the Nantes vineyards. As soon as you leave the main road, a long, pine-lined local drive leads past the vineyards on one side to the entrance of the estate in the perimeter wall on the other side. First, there is a former farmstead, comprising a straw barn, a bakehouse, an old dovecote and two separate dwellings. Then a wooden gate with a wicket door opens onto a vast rectangular courtyard serving a group of outbuildings comprising the former winery, stables and a barn. The adjoining chateau includes a main building and two annexe houses framing the main courtyard. The iron gateway gate and pediment with cartouche rest on two granite pillars topped with sculptures depicting reclining lions with their paws on a globe. Opening onto the vineyards to the south, the courtyard, planted with two centuries-old magnolias, features a central multifoil stone pool and flowerbeds. The chateau is protected by a perimeter wall surrounded by water-filled moats and accessed via a semi-circular earth platform and a 16th-century stone bridge from the road, as well as by a wooden footbridge from the winery courtyard or the park to the rear. Completely enclosed by walls, the grounds include a chapel, a fishpond and a hoof bath for horses, as well as an ornamental woodland. Including the vineyard and tenanted farmland surrounding the complex, the property covers almost 73 hectares. The residence and outbuildings are built on a square earth platform measuring around 50 m x 50 m, overlooking water-filled moats that were once part of a fortified castle built around 1411, on the foundations of a Roman villa. In the 16th century, at the height of the Renaissance, the stronghold was transformed into a noble residence. In 1737, an ancestor of the current inhabitants bought the chateau, planted the vineyards and built the winery, thereby transforming the estate into its present configuration. It was only after the counter-revolutionary Wars of the Vendée, during which the estate repeatedly burnt down, that the dwelling was rebuilt in its current neo-classical style. It was subsequently enlarged at the end of the 19th century, with a central pavilion on the rear facade, and then at the beginning of the 20th century, when the height of a wing was raised to create an artist's studio in the Italian neo-Renaissance style. In 2011, the facades and some of the rooms in the residence, as well as the chapel, barn, dovecote, wine storehouses, hangar, bakehouse and part of the grounds were listed as French historic monuments.

In the Pays de la Loire region, 15 minutes from Laval, on over 16 ha, a striking 18th century listed castle, fully restored. A long driveway, bordered by trees and crossing the parkland’s grasslands and woods, leads from the village to the property. Entrance gates open on to a very wide courtyard, partially surrounded by a dry moat and laid out in front of the chateau’s regular, elegant facade. The outbuildings, set out around the courtyard, comprise stables, a dovecote, pigsties, a barn, a small corner pavilion, a caretaker’s cottage and, lastly, a chapel. A central parterre, displaying its original design, takes up a large section of the courtyard in front of the chateau. A copse of very old trees stands to one side. A regular, terraced, back garden, reached via granite steps, looks down on to the rear of the chateau. The first castle dated from medieval times. In the 16th century, its status was raised to that of a “châtellenie” (an officially recognised castle and its land). All that remains of these eras are the dovecote, the chapel as well as the castle’s two pavilions. At the beginning of the 18th century, these two pavilions were connected by a vast building. The chateau, the outbuildings and parklands underwent major restoration works in 2010. A good number of these features are now protected with French Historic Monument listing (by order dated 13 March 1989): the chateau and the chapel; the dovecote facades and roofs; the perimeter wall with its moat and its support walls; the facades and roof of the little, 18th century corner pavilion; the garden with its fencing and its towers as well as the shelter over the central well; the wood and, lastly, the large alleyways in the parklands. Nowadays economic activities, notably linked to culture and events, are held by the current owners. But the potential of the buildings, not all actually in use, and the existing parklands which extend over a total of more than 16 hectares, make it possible to envisage other development possibilities, especially as the town of Laval is near and Paris and Rennes are within easy reach.

Nantes Sotheby's Realty propose you this exceptional castle, listed as a Historical Monument, has been meticulously restored and is situated just 25 minutes from Angers, nestled within a sprawling estate spanning over 71 hectares along the riverbanks. Having been owned by prominent families since the Middle Ages and undergoing modifications until the 18th century, it has successfully preserved the finest elements from various historical periods. An impressive avenue of towering plane trees winds through the estate, leading to this magnificent castle built on a vast platform surrounded by moats. The castle is organized around three courtyards, each enclosed by buildings with round towers at the outer corners. A majestic entrance gatehouse, flanked by two round towers connected by a pavilion, reveals the courtyard of honor, as well as an elegant residence dating back to the 13th century, with modifications made in the 15th, 16th, and 18th centuries. The property boasts 26 rooms, including 5 spacious and well-lit reception rooms, 14 bedrooms with their own private bathrooms, a fully equipped cinema room, and a generous leisure area, totaling 1,130 square meters of living space. Surrounding the main residence are a dovecote, a large chapel restored in the 19th century, a caretaker's house, and numerous outbuildings, including stables, workshops, and storage spaces. In the third courtyard, where the orchard is located, a jeu de paumes court, a rare relic from the Early Middle Ages, is well-preserved. Just outside the castle's walls, a renovated farmhouse serves as an additional independent dwelling. The estate, spanning over 71 hectares, consists of 40 hectares of meadows, radiating pathways, woodlands, and a one-hectare pond, all running alongside a river. The navigable river is situated 500 meters from the castle, downstream, offering the possibility to create a pontoon for boat mooring. The estate is conveniently located 25 minutes to the west of Angers and only 10 minutes from Le Lion-d'Angers, renowned for its equestrian events and offering all necessary amenities and services. Angers train station provides direct access to Paris via the TGV in approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, while Nantes Atlantique Airport is just a 1-hour and 10-minute drive from the property. Despite its grand scale, this castle, a witness to a rich historical past, offers an intimate and exceptionally comfortable residence, a rarity in the vicinity of Angers. File in request.
