Château-Gontier, Pays de la Loire, Address available on request

A country house with outbuildings, horse-riding facilities and over 10 hectares of grounds in Château-Gontier in France's Mayenne department. From the road, a long tree-lined lane spans 200 metres up to the property's courtyard. The different buildings form an L shape that runs around the court on its north and east edges: there is the country house, a guesthouse, a stable, a former pig shed and three storehouses. Pointed stonework of rubble schist forms their walls, some of which are rendered. Their two-slope and three-slope roofs are covered with tiles of local slate and the house's rectangular windows face south-west. Only the storehouses stand out from the architectural whole, which is mostly made up of long buildings with two levels. 

Gravelled areas and lawns, dotted with trees and embellished with flowers, extend around the buildings. Beyond the buildings there are meadows and woods. An orchard, a vegetable patch, a pond, a horse-riding area and paddocks make the grounds diverse. These grounds cover around 10 hectares in total.
