On the outskirts of a village in the Haut Anjou region stands this remarkable château built by a superintendent of finance for the Sun King in the late 17th century, whose classical architecture is matched only by the refinement of its interior decor. The château offers over 800m2 of living space and more than 20 rooms, including superb reception rooms on the ground floor with sumptuous Louis XV decorations: vestibule d’honneur, grand salon with rocaille gypseries and wood panelling, dining room with fountain and Solesmes marble fireplace, wine cellar, 18th-century kitchen with kitchen garden and 5-meter-high ceiling, grand baluster staircase, salon with fireplace, vaulted hall (former chapel), bathroom, study, summer kitchen. Second floor: apartment comprising kitchen, bedroom, living room with superb wood panelling, bathroom, toilet, large gallery opening onto 8 bedrooms with bathrooms. The entire property was completely renovated (except for some windows) in the 1990s (roofing, plumbing, electricity), with minor refurbishment to be scheduled. A vast outbuilding wing comprising stables (two boxes), marble dairy, bread oven, sheds and a renovated janitor’s cottage with two bedrooms, kitchen, living room, closes off the courtyard of honor. Well, rose garden. The whole forms a peaceful estate on over 18ha of land, including lawn with boxwood parterre, meadows, woods and a river forming an island, as well as fine recent equestrian facilities and a tower used as a dovecote.
Picking my jaw up off the floor. This château is an absolute beauty with a really pretty exterior and grounds and the architectural details inside are so elegant. For sale via Kretz for €1,790,000.
