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 choice of schools and market towns are nearby, and a good selection of local activities from golf to horse-riding, which make this an excellent base from which to explore and enjoy this popular area in the heart of the Loire Valley.
Surrounding a courtyard are the stone buildings with slate roofs.
The former staff quarters, stables and storage of the chateau built in 1874 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.
Outbuildings : On the opposite side of the courtyard is a building used as 4 garages, former tack room, and former stable with attic space above. This large building is ideally suited to a number of potential uses and retains a lot of the charm and character from when it was built.
A former kennels and two large double "industrial style" buildings are currently used for storage but could be used for equestrian purposes for example.
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. To the rear of the accommodation is the vegetable garden and private terraces. An ideal place for a pool perhaps. The total surface area is 10.03 acres (4,06 hectares).
The neighbouring chateau is currently available also with us under reference 4492-B or the lot as a whole under reference 4492-A - Chateau : Ref.4492-B - 895,000 EUR (Agent's fees due by the vendor - Notary's fees not included due by the purchaser) - Chateau + outbuildings lot : Ref.4492-A - 1,595,000 EUR (Agent's fees due by the vendor - Notary's fees not included due by the purchaser).

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.
