This remarkable Renaissance property has retained both its architectural integrity and its welcoming atmosphere. Beautifully proportioned reception rooms, carefully preserved historic features and generous family accommodation combine to create a home that is as comfortable to live in as it is impressive to visit.
Built from the fifteenth century onwards and enlarged over successive generations, the château displays all the qualities expected of an important Renaissance residence. Fine stone staircases, monumental fireplaces, mullioned windows, beautifully crafted woodwork and impressive ceiling heights have all been carefully preserved, creating interiors that are both authentic and welcoming.
The accommodation extends over three principal floors with attics above and vaulted cellars below. The principal floor includes elegant reception rooms, a dining room, kitchen and service areas, while the upper floors provide fourteen bedrooms together with bathrooms, dressing rooms and additional living spaces, offering considerable flexibility for family and guests.
Among the château's most remarkable features are its beautifully preserved seventeenth-century painted rooms and decorative panelling, now protected as Monuments Historiques. These rare interiors are an important part of the property's heritage while remaining fully integrated into the life of the house.
The estate
The château is surrounded by an estate extending to almost 34 hectares. Formal lawns and mature specimen trees immediately surround the house before giving way to woodland, open pasture and lakes, creating an ever-changing landscape rich in wildlife and offering exceptional privacy.
The former stable courtyard provides extensive ancillary accommodation. Part has been used as residential accommodation, while the remaining buildings include garages, traditional loose boxes, extensive attic space and further service areas, offering excellent flexibility for future use. A traditional pigeonnier and additional outbuildings complete this impressive estate.
Exceptional potential
The scale of the estate, the quality of the outbuildings and the flexibility of the accommodation offer exciting opportunities for a range of future projects, subject to any necessary permissions.
Luxury guest accommodation, exclusive-use events, wellness retreats, creative residencies, equestrian activities or simply a remarkable family estate are all possibilities that the property is well suited to accommodate.
A significant proportion of the carefully selected furniture and decorative contents may be available by separate negotiation, allowing a purchaser, if desired, to preserve the distinctive atmosphere and character of the interiors.
Large enough to host unforgettable occasions yet intimate enough to enjoy every day, this property presents a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of one of Anjou's most captivating Renaissance estates.
The Anjou lifestyle
One of this château's greatest attractions is its location. Although surrounded by peaceful countryside, the estate is within easy reach of Angers, one of western France's most attractive and vibrant cities, with excellent restaurants, cultural attractions, high-speed rail connections to Paris and an exceptional quality of life.
The surrounding region is renowned for its vineyards, historic villages and outdoor pursuits. Walking, cycling, horse riding and exploring the Loire Valley's celebrated châteaux and wine estates all become part of everyday life.
Whether enjoying summer evenings beside the lakes, welcoming family and friends for long weekends or simply appreciating the peace and beauty of the estate throughout the seasons, this estate offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.
Why we love it
What makes this property so memorable is not simply its history or its architecture, remarkable though both are. It is the feeling of the place. The scale is manageable, the rooms are welcoming, the estate offers privacy without isolation, and every part of the property feels connected. Whether as a family home or the setting for an exciting new venture, it is easy to imagine the next chapter beginning here.
