The elegance of a former presbytery in the heart of the Anjou countryside

Located in the commune of Jarzé, in the heart of a hamlet and a protected natural environment of over 5,000 sqm, this remarkable former presbytery, with its 148 sqm of living space (196 sqm of floor space), reveals a unique character. The property boasts a rare and appealing layout, punctuated by two distinct entrances.

The first gate opens onto a charming inner courtyard, around which the building presents an elegant architectural design. Somewhere between an old dwelling and a stylish Angevin longhouse, the building seems to transcend the centuries with remarkable ease. Its stone facades, harmonious proportions, and the quality of its materials evoke the rural architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries, carefully preserved over time. Over the years, the owners have undertaken a renovation guided by a single principle: to preserve the soul of the house while fully integrating it into the present day. The entrance opens onto a warm interior, where antique terracotta tiles complement the exposed beams and stone walls. The house has retained its essence: its history, its character, and that timeless feeling that only certain homes can offer. The living space is the vibrant heart of the property. Organized around several distinct areas, it surprises with its spaciousness and atmosphere. Two living rooms comprise this space: one, nestled around its wood-burning stove, invites shared moments, while the second, warmed by a pellet stove, offers an equally welcoming ambiance. Halfway up, a mezzanine delicately overlooks the living room and provides additional space with multiple possibilities. An office, a reading nook, or a fourth bedroom–everyone can make it their own. Extending from the living rooms, the dining room and kitchen form a convivial space where charm is equally evident. Full of character, the kitchen blends harmoniously with the spirit of the house. Near the split-level living room, a first sleeping area comprises a bedroom with its own private bathroom. Upstairs, for added privacy, two further large bedrooms are arranged around a pleasant mezzanine overlooking the entrance. These bedrooms share a shower room, creating a second, more independent living space, ideal for hosting family and friends or ensuring everyone’s comfort.

On the street-facing side, a second gate provides separate access, allowing visitors to walk around the building and reach the rear of the property. Here, one finds private covered parking and the grounds, in a secluded and protected natural setting.

Less than 25 minutes from Angers city center and its TGV station, this property offers a rare and refined lifestyle. A hidden gem for those who appreciate characterful properties, where history continues to unfold discreetly.
