Haut Anjou - 17th Century Mh Listed Castle with Outbuildings, 18ha (Option on 5ha more) Park, River,

Property Description

Just a few kilometers from a village and nestled in a verdant setting, this listed Historic Monument offers a rare and refined living environment. Accessible via two driveways leading to a monumental gatehouse, it is arranged around a courtyard framed by a château on one side and extensive outbuildings on the other. A covered well stands at its center, surrounded by elegantly trimmed yew trees.

This château, built by the Servien family, then ministers to the Sun King, was renovated in the 18th century to accommodate prestigious guests. Its meticulous architecture and generous proportions make it a unique property, blending historical prestige with a high quality of life.

The Château

Built on three levels (including an attic), the building features an elegant façade of rendered stone and rubble masonry, topped with a slate roof punctuated by dormer windows and bull's-eye windows. The pediments, rusticated window and door surrounds, quoins, and limestone cornice emphasize the building's noble character.

Inside, the original decorative elements have been preserved: period fireplaces, wood paneling, sculpted stucco, stone or parquet floors, overmantel mirrors, cartouches, medallions, and marble. The reception rooms impress with their high ceilings and the richness of their Rococo or Louis XV decor.
