Ref.4098 : REMARQUABLE 19th CENTURY MANSION IN HAUT-ANJOU.
Situated in the Mayenne department, of which it is the sub-prefecture, the town of Château-Gontier (approx. 12,000 inhabitants) has been rooted in the heart of the "Mayenne angevine" for over 1,000 years. It plays a significant role as a "link" between Angers and Laval cities, giving it the image of an economically and culturally attractive town. The surrounding environment, rather rural and pleasantly bocage, contrasts with the dynamism which reigns there and the abundance of remarkable residences, private mansions, bourgeois houses and historical monuments, which can be seen there. The magnificent Hôtel-Dieu, which runs along the river Mayenne to the port, the Ursuline Convent with its beautiful pilastered cloister, the Romanesque church of Saint-Jean Baptiste and the 17th century Hôtel Fouquet, which houses the Museum of Art and History, are all part of this peaceful town where life is good.
It is here, on the outskirts of its historic centre, that this superb 19th century private mansion and its outbuildings are built between a courtyard and a garden. Due to its location, it enjoys immediate proximity to all shops and benefits from good access to the main cities of Angers, Saumur, Nantes, Laval, Rennes and Le Mans. The SNCF train stations in Angers (45 minutes) and Sablé sur Sarthe (30 minutes), as well as Nantes airport (1.5 hours), will meet any business travel needs.
Ideally suited to a family project, this property also has the potential to accommodate a liberal or hotel activity.

The main house is of typical 19th century neoclassical architectural construction. It features an imposing main facade facing the courtyard, built in tufa stone and adorned with two wings, all of which are embellished with pilasters and dentil ornaments that contribute to the building's refinement. Built on three levels under slate roofs, crowned with a pyramidal pediment and pierced with high openings, the building is not lacking in allure. Its perfectly symmetrical lines give a glimpse of the purity and harmony of its interior spaces, which are accessed via a porch and a pretty, classically arched door.
With a living area of approx. 260 sqm, it is distributed as follows:
On the raised ground floor, a large through vestibule gives access to the basement, to the upper floors and to the splendid living rooms, a large living room, a space used as an office, a dining room, a large and comfortable kitchen, a kitchen pantry and a bathroom. There are beautiful tiled floors, cement tiles, terracotta tiles and herringbone parquet flooring, marble fireplaces, polychrome stained glass windows and ornate ceilings.
On the first floor, a landing covered with remarkable period cement tiles with trompe l'oeil geometric motifs in the "Art Deco" style, leads to four bedrooms, a bathroom, a dressing room and a bathroom. The floors are mainly oak parquet, marble tiles and marble fireplaces.
On the second floor, a landing leads to a large attic converted into a private flat with shower room, bathroom and dressing room. It has terracotta floors, exposed beams and a large attic.
A basement directly accessible from the outside houses storage spaces and the boiler room.

The property has several outbuildings:
- A former stable, which surrounds the courtyard to the north, has also been completely renovated to a high standard, combining old materials with modern comforts. It now houses a private practice that can be accessed independently of the main house, making it suitable for this type of professional project, but could just as easily be converted into an additional house.
On the ground floor, two main rooms are used to receive patients and on the first floor, a large bedroom, its bathroom and sanitary facilities.
- A charming octagonal pavilion, formerly used as a tack room, was built at the entrance to the property. It is now used as a shed.
- A garage for 3 vehicles is located at the bottom of the garden.

A courtyard to the east and a fully enclosed formal garden, pleasantly adorned with flowers and trees (chestnut, cherry and magnolia trees, etc.) to the west, border the building, forming an ensemble of approx. 1,500sqm(0.37 acres).
