Historic Presbytery in Southern Sarthe

Nestled between Saint-Calais and Bouloire, just 45 minutes from Le Mans, this former 16th-century presbytery stands as a rare gem in the Sarthe real estate market. Offering more than 270 m² (2,906 sq ft) of living space in the heart of a private, tree-lined 1,800 m² (19,375 sq ft) park, the property immediately captivates with its distinctive architecture, elevated stone staircase, and authentic stone façade.

From the moment you enter, the home’s charm is evident through its generous volumes and remarkable period features, including massive exposed beams, half-timbered walls, original wooden floors, and a stone fireplace. The main living area is centered around a spacious 35 m² (377 sq ft) eat-in kitchen, while upstairs, a magnificent 47 m² (506 sq ft) cathedral-style living room is flooded with natural light.

The sleeping quarters comprise six bedrooms distributed across the various levels of the house. Preserved in its authenticity, the property requires complete and sympathetic restoration. This presents a rare opportunity to reinterpret a historic residence according to contemporary comfort standards while enhancing its original character and charm.

Outside, the landscaped garden includes a covered outbuilding with an attic and a workshop, offering excellent potential for conversion into professional, creative, or artistic spaces. Located in the peaceful village of Montaillé, which benefits from local shops and schools, this historic home provides an exceptional lifestyle setting right in the heart of the village.
