Pays de la Loire, Sarthe, Sablé-sur-Sarthe, France

A41939ELE72 - Set in a peaceful riverside environment, this character property offers a rare combination of charm, space, and versatility, with a main house, a large independent party/reception hall, and just under 1 hectare of land bordered by the Sarthe river.

The main house, dating back around 100 years, offers approximately 250 m² of living space with high ceilings and exposed beams throughout. The slate roof and traditional structure give the property its classic appeal. Heating is provided by a combination of a wood stove, electric radiators, and a reversible heat-pump. Drainage is non-conforming. The house benefits from new electric gates, wooden fencing suitable for horses, an attached garage, and cellar.

On the ground floor, the spacious entrance hall/dining room leads to a fitted kitchen and a large sitting room featuring a wood stove and wide windows overlooking the river. A wrap-around terrace extends from the living room, offering multiple viewpoints over the gardens and water. All ground-floor rooms have direct access to the outside, creating a seamless connection with the terraces and gardens. The ground floor also includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, a dedicated laundry room, and a separate WC.

Upstairs, the first floor provides three/four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with its own ensuite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, along with a separate WC, offering comfortable accommodation for family and guests.

The second building is a large, versatile party/reception hall of around 230 m², insulated and heated. It features a bar with beer pumps and fridges, a toilet block, storage rooms, a workshop, stables and a studio with shower facilities. Its flexible layout makes it ideal for private events, weddings, seminars, guest accommodation, or even a business such as a car showroom. Outside, a terrace set against a natural rock face with a waterfall fed by water pumped from the river creates a unique entertaining space.

The grounds include 2 fenced paddocks, wooded areas, a private tennis court (in need of renovation), and direct river frontage with a mooring for a boat. A further stone building, requiring full renovation, offers additional scope for development.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a riverside property with genuine potential for family living, hospitality, or business in a beautiful natural setting.
