Zone Loisir constructible' - very rare * 10 hectare plot including woodland and park * Excellent access to amenities * Quiet private setting * Many original features This period home and park as well as being used by the Nobles and their entourage from its construction in the early 1800s has also been used as a 'boutique hotel' and more recently as an amusement park. The rides are no longer present but the restaurant (including professional kitchen equipment) and terrace is and extremely rare the site is classed as 'Zone Loisir Constructible' which in short means that projects such as chalets, etc. should be granted. So if your dream is to live in a chateau and earn an income at the same time from it then the possibilities here are endless. High ceiling rooms throughout with many original features: hand painted ornamental beams, large fireplaces, ornate carvings and plaster moulds, large entrance hall with sweeping stairs to the mezzanine with hand painted frieze and views over the entrance drive give an instant impression of noble life as was in France. Formal dining hall, library and sitting rooms amongst others on the ground floor. 6 bedrooms with almost as many bathrooms on the 1st floor and the possibility for the same again in the attic (previous servants quarters). There's also the sizeable and functional basement running the whole surface area below the chateau with plenty of storerooms and workshops. Outside the former stables are ripe for conversion and then we have certain structures left over from its previous life as an amusement park. A large restaurant, professionally equipped kitchen and terrace area is in excellent condition and ideal for seminars, weddings, etc. The fire-water basin was installed with a view to later becoming a pool (sand floor to be removed to provide depth needed for example). With various water and electricity points situated throughout the park and several 'ticket cabins' this estate could lend itself easily to a number of projects and with that ever so rare status achieving permission should not pose a problem. Around 20 mins to Angers and a short drive to a main market town, nearby international airport, golf course and excellent access to the popular tourist destination within the Loire valley this is ideally placed for business or pleasure. A viewing is highly recommended. * :
