This remarkable 800m2 property near Chaze sur Argos 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 chateau 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 chateau'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 chateau 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 chateau'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 chateaux 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.
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.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
