Cholet Charm

Stately 1907 Manor with Expansive Grounds

Discover this elegant 1907 manor, fondly called the “Château” by locals, set between Cholet and Doué-en-Anjou in Maine-et-Loire. With timeless architecture, mature gardens, and a spacious outbuilding, this home offers authentic character and space in a vibrant yet peaceful town. Shops, services, and cultural venues are just a short walk away. Cholet and Doué-en-Anjou are within easy reach, while Paris is under two hours by train.

The manor’s striking ashlar stone and brick façade, slate roofs, and decorative dormers make it a true local landmark. Inside, the rooms are filled with light thanks to large windows, and the layout is practical and welcoming. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines charm, history, and potential.

Property Highlights:

  • 360 m² of living space across four floors
  • Original hardwood floors, wood panelling, marble fireplaces
  • Six large bedrooms plus attic and basement spaces
  • Balcony with panoramic garden views
  • 400 m² two-storey outbuilding
  • 6890 m² of landscaped grounds with mature trees

The ground floor features a grand entrance hall, two adjoining living rooms with original details, a study, and a kitchen that opens onto a balcony overlooking the grounds. The first floor offers four bedrooms, including one used as a snooker room, and a striking bathroom with arched window. The top floor includes two charming bedrooms with exposed rafters and a bathroom.

The vast two-storey outbuilding offers huge potential — whether as guest accommodation, a studio, or workshop. The grounds, with their cedars, flowering trees, and peaceful paths, invite relaxation and outdoor living in all seasons.
