A farmhouse with stables and outbuildings in 1.8 hectares of grounds, 40 minutes west of Angers.
Just outside a village in the heart of nature, the property is 10 minutes from Segré, the capital of Haut-Anjou, in the Maine-et-Loire department, which has a 17th-century listed building, the Château de la Lorie, a neo-Byzantine church which is classified as a historical monument, and all the services and amenities for your daily needs.
Angers and its TGV station can be reached in 40 minutes by road, and Paris is under 1.5 hours away. Nantes and Rennes are both about 1 hour 10 minutes away by car.
Surrounded by the meadows and hedgerows typical of the Anjou region, the property is made up of six separate buildings. The buildings are built from the typical slate rubble used in the region and rendered in ochre-coloured lime. The window frames are made out of local brick. Most of the roofs are slate, but some outbuildings are covered in sheet metal.
The farmhouse is 25 m long and rectangular shaped with east/west facing facades. Its gable roof has two chimneys and four hip dormers on the front facade, one of which has a straight stone staircase leading up to it at the south-east corner of the building. A former pigsty is attached to the south gable, next to a small workshop. Long and rectangular too, it has small semi-circular openings in the upper part of the facades for ventilation and has a gable roof. At at right angle, to the north of the house, a former barn is currently under restoration. On the other side of the square courtyard there is a huge stable, flanked by a barn to the west. Meadows and paddocks for horses surround the building.
