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.
