Réf. 4785: charming property for sale in Maine-et-Loire department.

This property is located in Maine-et-Loire, on the border between Anjou and historic Brittany, 35 km from Angers. The area is hilly and the hillside location offers beautiful views stretching to the horizon. A few kilometres away flows the ‘River of the Kings of France’ and the ‘Mother of Rivers’: the Loire. Well located between Nantes and Angers, access to the property is excellent: Ingrandes-sur-Loire railway station is a few kilometres away, and there is motorway access (A11). Originally, the property was easily accessible on horseback from Nantes.
