Ref. 4669: Remarkable listed town house for sale 15 minutes from Saumur.

This remarkable and imposing 18th-century town house, built on the site of a former 16th-century convent, is located on the edge of the Loire Valley, more precisely in the heart of a peaceful town of character in the south of Maine-et-Loire, rich in centuries-old heritage. This area is characterised by its cultural dynamism and a powerful link between the history of the town and its ancestral heritage. A charming river flows through the valley below, offering the inhabitants of this historic town spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, its terroirs intertwined with hedgerows and vineyards, and its rural paths offering a variety of hiking trails.
A few dozen metres from the property, the shops in the town centre with their traditional façades are within walking distance, and the resort town of Saumur, renowned for its famous cavalry school, is a 15-minute drive away. This authentic property with its exceptional architectural features combines all the essential qualities sought after by lovers of history and ancient architecture, and also offers a range of possibilities for those who wish to put down roots here and perpetuate its nobility (large family home, seasonal holiday rentals, etc.).

The main house is an elegant 18th-century building, constructed on a regular U-shaped plan with three storeys under a long slate roof. The presence of older construction elements, visible in particular on one of the gables, indicates the existence of a 16th-century building on this site, onto which the current structure has been solidly built. Its façades feature remarkable tuffeau stonework, triangular or curved pediments, tuffeau stone corner chains, ornate dormer windows, arched bays providing the interior spaces with bright natural light, and two arched porches with bossages on either side of the main building.
