Situated in a quiet neighbourhood right the heart of a historic town, close to Saumur and close to all amenities, this exceptional 6 bedroom stone built chateau has a spacious living area of 430m2 and is set within glorious gardens of 1,500m2.

Famous for being the residence of a early 19th Century romantic poet, who died in a duel at the age of 22, this superb property dates from the 15th and 16th Centuries.

This residence is second only to the superb medieval castle in fame, in a small fortified town which numbers many superb historic buildings.

The building, which has been completely renovated from top to bottom, stands proudly above the Thouet Valley, offering spectacular unobstructed views.

The gardens are worthy of a film-set, ingeniously designed on several levels to provide a sense of depth and give shade, with a wide variety of plants and buxus parterres and wisteria-clad walks.

The property has been entirely renovated to the very highest standards; buy the finest local artisans.

The manor is entered through a fine sculpted doorway into a hallway with stone floors. Doors leading off the hallway lead to two spacious and independent apartments, each offering single-story living with private access to their respective gardens. The original medieval spiral stone staircase tower leads upstairs to the first floor, which houses the main independent living quarters. It includes three spacious and comfortable bedrooms, a large living room with doors opening on a terrace overlooking the valley and the garden. A dining room, an authentic kitchen, and a laundry room complete this floor.

The second floor has another apartment with a glorious and monumental cathedral-like reception room, with painted beams and mezzanine bedroom.

The stone spiral staircase continues up to a tower bedroom known as the "poet's room," the final room of the house, named in honour of the poet.

The manor has all the comforts expected of a house of this quality: including a garage and a superb vaulted wine cellar.

This property would make a superb home or second home, and the two garden-level apartments rent out easily and can bring a supplementary income if desired.

The town is prosperous from winemaking and tourism and has all the necessary services. It is only a 15 minute drive from Saumur, the auto-route and the TGV, and 45 minutes from the city of Angers.
