Ref.4203: Atypical wine-producing property for sale in Anjou, with an old cavier mill. We're just a stone's throw from Saumur in the heart of the Loire Anjou Touraine Regional Nature Park, close to a small historic Angevin town that we owe to Foulques Nera, a famous lord of the Middle Ages and Count of Anjou in the 10th and 11th centuries, who turned it into a stronghold by building dungeons and fiefs. It is here, in this setting of splendid residences and land covered with vines as far as the eye can see, that this charming 18th century windmill has been completely restored. Less than 5 minutes away, you'll find a host of shops and amenities (shops, post office, train, services, etc.). Not far away, the major towns of Saumur (18 minutes) and Doué la Fontaine (13 minutes) offer all amenities as well as a wide range of tourist, cultural and sporting activities. This inspiring place, where terroirs and 'old stones' meet, offers an uninterrupted view over the surrounding countryside, bringing together all the ingredients that make a common place an exceptional place. This ingeniously simple former mill dating from 1759 was built of rubble stone, mainly limestone (sandstone and tufa), and topped with a conical dome that once supported the mill's blades. Covering an area of around 110 sqm, it is accessed by a wide doorway topped by an attractive arched tufa lintel. On the ground floor, a remarkable living-dining room with a round barrel vault gives way to a lounge area laid out under the conical vault of the mill. With several openings, it diffuses a pleasant light reverberated by the natural light of the tufa stone. This main room leads on either side to a room that has been converted into a bedroom, another with a tufa fireplace serving as a small sitting room or boudoir, which can also be used as a bedroom, and then a kitchen and shower room, all of which provide an intimate setting. The roof terrace is accessed via a charming mezzanine and a stone staircase in the work. The view from this terrace over the surrounding vineyards and one of the finest architectural jewels in Anjou's heritage is quite simply splendid. The Moulin Cavier vineyard covers just under 2,47 acres. Planted on clay-limestone soil that is particularly favourable to the development of the Cabernet Franc grape variety grown here, and benefiting from optimum sunshine, this estate is run by an independent winegrower who uses responsible viticulture methods. It produces around 4,000 bottles a year of a wine that is widely recognised by professionals in the trade, to the extent that some of these bottles are featured on the menus of renowned gourmet restaurants throughout France.

In a small historic town in Anjou, an 18th-century townhouse with a garden. The townhouse - specifically its entrance door, garage, and boiler room - faces a square in the city center landscaped with rose bushes and topiaries. Numerous shops, including pharmacies, bakeries, and banks, among others, can be found in this part of town. At the back, the house opens onto a terrace paved with ancient cobblestones and a lawn, enclosed by walls, featuring a small outbuilding, a well, and a small corner pavilion made of tuffeau stone. Built with lime plastered stone and rubble, the residence spans one level above the ground floor and consists of three sections that have been reconfigured over the centuries. The central section, with a single bay, is slightly advanced compared to the lateral sections. On the street side, the ground floor and the upper floor topped with an attic and a slate roof, rise above a basement that houses the garage, the boiler room, and a cellar. The front facade, made of stone, is coated with a beige-colored plaster and adorned with cornerstones, molded cornices and window sills, sculpted window frames, an entrance, a garage door, straight windows on the upper floor, arched windows on the attic, and louvered shutters. The rear facade of the central section is made of tuffeau stone, coated with an orange-ocher plaster, with matching window frames, cornerstones, cornices, and dormer windows. This facade has recently been restored. The gable roofs, covered in slate, are adorned with dormer windows, each topped with a triangular pediment in the two sections on the left, featuring frames sculpted in stone in the left section and a more understated design in the right section.
