A distinctive ensemble blending historical heritage and contemporary horizons

In a peaceful hamlet, just 5 minutes from Montreuil-Bellay, this characterful property sits at the heart of a 4,175 sq m walled park, adorned with numerous plant species and opening onto the surrounding countryside.

This unique property combines a 16th-century tufa stone manor house of approximately 280 sq m, requiring renovation, and a 180 sq m secondary house, renovated by an architect in 2015, offering a subtle interplay between heritage and contemporary design.

The manor house features, on the ground floor, a dining room with a kitchen, a living room with authentic charm, a bedroom with an en-suite shower room and WC, and a boiler/laundry room with direct access to the garden. The upper floors house two further bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, as well as a spacious artist’s studio of approximately 50 sq m, extended by a mezzanine of approximately 30 sq m. Original terracotta tiles and tufa stone fireplaces highlight the character of the property. A separate bedroom completes this ensemble. The secondary house offers a living room of approximately 50 sq m with a fireplace and open-plan kitchen, a master bedroom on the ground floor with independent access, and upstairs, a master suite comprising a lounge area with a wood-burning stove, a bedroom area, and a shower room with WC. A separate room of approximately 38 sq m, designed as a workshop or gallery, offers the potential for a self-contained loft.

The grounds extend around the wooded park and numerous outbuildings: a covered hangar of approximately 140 sq m connecting the two dwellings, a barn, a garage, and a separate workshop–all spaces conducive to artistic, tourism, or residential projects. The immediate surroundings are appealing for their rural tranquility, while remaining close to the amenities of Montreuil-Bellay (5 min) and Saumur (20 min). This unique property represents a rare opportunity, ideal for a singular lifestyle project or a characterful residence ripe for reinvention. Diagnostics are currently being carried out.
