Description

Located 15 km from Laval in the Western Loire, this enchanting Neo-Renaissance 19th century chateau has infinite possibilities. Situated on 24 sprawling acres of grounds and gardens, the property boats a private lake, swimming pool with fountains, a children's pool, walled garden, orchards, orangery, a national monument, and helipad access and coordinates. The numerous outbuildings include a 3-bedroom pavilion or guest house, a 1-bedroom caretaker apartment, and a grand coach house, which is modeled after the castle, but on a smaller scale. Enormous potential lies in converting the coach house into a variety of different uses. The main house features a gym, cinema, turreted 'round' kitchen with granite worktops, marble mosaics, and an adjacent breakfast room. Eight bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, complete the main house. Potential also lies on the uppermost floor, with the ability to convert the space into additional rooms.

Currently the chateau is a comfortable home for a small family, though in a previous life it was an exclusive small Relais & Chateaux Hotel and has the potential for multiple business uses. At the moment, it also is a very successful (£50,000+ per year) weekly holiday rental venue (chateau and Pavillon), and plays host to corporate groups during the Le Mans 24 Hour and Classic Races. Past clients have included the Intercontinental Hotel Group, Aston Martin, Porsche and others.

In addition to being situated in an area of lovely natural beauty, the chateau benefits from being within easy access of Paris, Brittany, Normandy and the Loire Valley. The cities of Laval and Chateau Gontier are each only 15 minutes away, the cities of Angers, Rennes and Le Mans are each 45 minutes to 1 hour away, and Paris is 1.5 hours by train. Paris will be accessible much fast with the addition of the TGV to this region soon.
