Character Nineteenth Century Chateau with 13 bedrooms set in 35 acres of wooded parkland near Anjou.

Ideally located in the countryside near a small town providing main services and good communication via nearby autoroutes with a good choice of schools and market towns nearby.

The chateau represents the typical architecture of Angers: built in tuffeau stone and topped with a slate roof, it benefits from large windows with the main reception rooms being double aspect with plenty of natural light and a magnificent double stone staircase with high vaulted ceiling.

A good selection of local activities from golf to horse-riding make this an excellent base from which to explore and enjoy this popular area in the heart of the Loire Valley.

The chateau, built in 1874 by one of the oldest French noble families, provides approximately 560m2 of living space located in the heart of its park and includes :

On the ground floor : a front entrance hall of 17m2 with a 4.2m ceiling height with ornate tiled flooring and wood panelling offering a choice of doors to the rest of the ground floor.
To the left: a large living room (48m2) with herring bone original oak flooring, white marble fireplace and blue and white wood panelling. A triple aspect room with plenty of natural light leading to a library of 17m2 to the rear. Natural coloured wood panelling throughout, this double aspect room also has herringbone oak flooring, ornate ceiling, and access to the rear entrance hall with its magnificent double stone staircase, stained glass windows and high, 12m2, vaulted ceiling.
Returning to the front hall to the right is the dining room (39m2) also with herringbone oak flooring, ornate ceiling and double aspect.
To the rear is the kitchen of 20m2, currently a work in progress with a remodelling by the current owners.
Completing the ground floor is a guest wc, service corridor and service staircase along with access to the basement.

On the first floor : 6 bedrooms ranging from 16m2m to 32m2 with views over the lawns front and rear. 4 with en-suite facilities. An independent WC is also on this floor.

On the second floor : 7 rooms (ranging from 8m2 to 22m2), bathroom, wc adjoining a room.

Basement under the whole ground floor area with storage facilities, a workshop and a boiler room.

Separate from the chateau surrounding a courtyard are the stone outbuildings with slate roofs.
These former staff quarters, stables and storage have been part modernised and today provide :

2 family/guests lodges : The first providing 123m2 of living space with 3 bedrooms (1 on the ground floor and 2 above) with modern kitchen/diner, formal living room, bathroom and access to a private terrace.
The second of 81m2 of living space with 3 bedrooms on the ground floor, bathroom, kitchen and living room with also access to a private terrace.
The continuation of this building is a third residence and work has been started on its modernisation

On the opposite side of the courtyard is a building used as 4 garages, former tack room, former stable with attic space above.
There is also a former kennels and two large double "industrial style" buildings that are currently used for storage.

The property enjoys a beautiful wooded park of 22 acres (9ha) with numerous paths throughout, the chateau is surrounded by lawns and to the rear of the guest lodges is the vegetable garden.

A small river runs through the property that feeds the pond and a plot of 5 acres (2h) the other side (formerly poplar trees) would make a nice paddock if required.

The total surface area is 35,63 acres (14,42 hectares).
