Crowned by pavilion rooflines and a 16th-century staircase tower, this Renaissance manor in Pays de la Loire captures the quiet grandeur of the period. Its shale stone walls and tuffeau-framed windows reflect centuries of craftsmanship, back to the original 15th-century structure, expanded in 1565.<\/p>\n

Inside, a sequence of rooms unfolds beneath exposed beams and painted ceilings. Fireplaces of limestone and shale anchor spaces designed for warmth and ceremony.<\/p>\n

The 250sqm home offers four bedrooms, generous living areas and 15th-century vaulted cellars. A 19th-century outbuilding of around 100sqm adds further workshop or studio potential, while the 5,200sqm grounds combine formal geometry with natural meadow. Walled gardens of yew and cypress surround it all.<\/p>\n

The manor presides over a small village on the eastern edge of Loire-Atlantique, 25km from Ancenis and within easy reach of Angers, Nantes<\/a> and Rennes. Listed as a Monument Historique since 1968, it preserves a chapter of Loire architecture and is now being offered at \u20ac649,000 by Patrice Besse<\/a>.<\/p>\n
