Magnificent Manor

Property Description

Mayenne -

An authentic 16th-century priory nestled in a peaceful, unspoiled setting in the heart of a small village. This remarkable property boasts unobstructed views of the rolling, tree-lined countryside.

Expanded in the 19th century with two elegant side wings, it has harmonious architecture and a slate roof. Its south-facing façade features beautiful mullioned windows with transoms and dormer windows that enhance the property’s charm.
It has a living area of 320 m² (excluding the attic) and retains many remarkably well-preserved original features: terracotta floors, imposing stone fireplaces bearing coats of arms, and high French-style ceilings.

The ground floor consists of an entryway with a main stone spiral staircase. This leads to a magnificent 54 m² reception room featuring a rare stone fireplace carved in high relief and adorned with pilasters.
On one side, an office and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom allow for single-level living. On the other side, a spacious 39 m² dining room, featuring a monumental fireplace and terracotta tiles, opens onto a large 30 m² kitchen, also equipped with an antique fireplace. A small living room and a utility room with a half-bath complete this level.

On the first floor, an elegant hallway leads to 3 beautiful, spacious bedrooms adorned with lovely stone fireplaces, 2 shower rooms, a bathroom, and a walk-in closet.

On the second floor, two large attic spaces totaling over 120 m² offer remarkable potential for conversion into additional bedrooms, recreational areas, or reception spaces.

An old vaulted cellar completes the property.

The outbuildings, which are particularly noteworthy, include:
• a large stone building of approximately 240 m², currently used as garages and storage sheds. Probably the oldest structure on the estate, it dates back to the Middle Ages and still retains several original openings.
• a stone barn of approximately 50 m².
• old pigsties, a testament to the property’s rural past.

The grounds cover 1.10 hectares. To the south, a vast lawn leads to a wooded area featuring linden, oak, and chestnut trees. To the east, an orchard completes this lush setting.
To the north, chestnut trees and conifers add to the bucolic charm of the setting.
For those who love open spaces or pet owners, an adjacent meadow of over 6 hectares is available for purchase as an addition.
With its high-quality architecture, authentic historic features, fluid floor plan, and preserved surroundings, this remarkable priory is a characterful property ideal as a family home or for a charming hospitality venture in a quiet, green setting.



Local shops and services are just 3 km away, while Laval is about a 20-minute drive away. The highway to Paris is 15 km away, providing excellent access.
