In the sublime Sarthe valley, surrounded by rivers and lush countryside, proudly sits this most elegant of homes. Walking up the driveway of this home sends imaginations flying back in time to the graceful and grandiose days of old. The manoir is beautifully decorated with intricate paintings, luxuriously ornate rugs, and all the trappings of true finery. The sumptuous furnishings, well-stocked library, heated pool and intricately designed games room will have you strolling through the corridors like royalty, while afternoon tea is always best taken under the shade of century-old trees by the river at the end of the garden. The home is in an ideal spot for leisurely country walks while opportunities for horse riding, fishing, golfing and tennis are all within a ten-minute drive. You will be able to find a wealth of shops, cafes, boulangeries, and restaurants when visiting the beautiful village of Parcé-Sur-Sarthe, just a ten-minute drive away, while the well-known city of Le Mans can be reached by car in roughly forty minutes.

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
