castles for sale Côtes-d'Armor, France

A listed manor dating back to the 16th century with outhouses and a chapel, beside the River Rance, between the towns of Dinan and Dinard in Brittany. From a country road, a gate framed between granite pillars leads into the estate, which covers more than 30 hectares. A long drive lined with oaks runs over more than 300 metres to a second entrance gate in a stone wall that encloses the manor and the outhouses, which include a chapel. You can also reach a long dwelling and some of the outhouses separately, without having to go via the manor. The manor faces south and looks down at the River Rance. Its Renaissance-style facade suggests the edifice was built in the mid-16th century. The building stands out for its staircase tower with bevelled edges, capped with a square section that is crowned with a hipped slate roof, which flares out at the bottom and is supported by small granite corbels. Glazed terracotta finials and chimney stack terminals with motifs adorn the manor’s gabled roof. The edifice includes extensions that date back to the 18th century, including two low wings with dormers. Lastly, a small, more recent section lies at the east end. It houses a kitchen. The whole manor is built of sandstone and granite rubble, partly coated with pale rendering. The quoins and window surrounds are made of exposed dressed granite. On the north side, there are outhouses that partly adjoin the edifice. They lie beside a walled plot – the remains of a former kitchen garden and farmyard. Beyond, there is a long house that was rebuilt in the 19th century to replace a former farmhouse. The grounds are surrounded by meadows and woods, as well as the river lower down. The estate enjoys absolute privacy and calm, with no neighbours or unwanted noise.

This remarkable château, a true gem of Breton heritage, is situated in the Côtes d’Armor department, in the hinterland of Saint-Brieuc, at the heart of a 568 acres natural estate, largely wooded, which constitutes a rare example of the large landed estates of the 19th century. Although situated in an isolated and unspoilt rural setting, it is nonetheless accessible, a short distance from a charming medium-sized town with all amenities. The nearest beaches are 30 minutes away, and Paris is a 2-hour 20-minute journey by TGV. Built on the site of a former manor house dating from the 15th century, which was extended and remodelled in the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic style, this exceptional château embodies a perfect blend of fascinating, cohesive, historic architecture and the demands of modern living. Restored at great expense with remarkable attention to detail, it offers high-quality amenities in an authentic setting. At the end of a long, 1.4-kilometre avenue winding through the woods and passing close to the pond, the château, with its L-shaped layout, reveals its full grandeur. It immediately commands attention at first glance. Its façade is punctuated by mullioned windows and tall dormer windows with pointed gables; its polygonal tower is flanked by a turret on a lamp base, and the truncated tower in the inner corner forms the entrance staircase, these two towers reinforcing its exceptional character. Behind its elegant facades of dressed granite stone lie vast, light-filled reception rooms offering beautiful views of the surroundings. These rooms are enhanced by carefully preserved period features: a moulded entrance door with pinnacles and fleurons, monumental fireplaces, wood panelling, a grand staircase with balusters, and a spiral staircase. With 1,250 sqm of living space, comprising approximately 420 sqm per floor, the château features a large central entrance hall with a grand staircase leading to two adjoining living rooms, a dining room, a fitted kitchen, a study, a billiard room, a gym and two toilets.

This building includes the carriage houses, the large and small stables, the stalls, the haylofts and the former grooms’ quarters. These buildings were ahead of their time, as they were equipped with ingenious and innovative systems: a medicine cabinet, a battery-powered telephone linked to the château, an oat dispenser, etc. - A model 19th-century farmstead forming a courtyard around which are situated a residential house (220 sqm), a dovecote, a shed for agricultural equipment, a cider press, a turret serving as a water tank, a henhouse and kennels. - A caretaker’s house located near the vegetable garden, in poor condition. - A forest lodge (95 sqm) in working order, currently let on a temporary basis as a hunting lodge for hunters. - A greenhouse situated in the large vegetable garden. - A farm comprising a residential building (99 sqm) and farm buildings, some of stone construction, others of the shed type.

A listed Moorish Revival villa opposite Ile de la Comtesse on the Goëlo coast in Brittany, with panoramic sea views. With the rising popularity of sea bathing at the end of the 19th century, a new type of seaside architecture emerged along the French coast, designed for relaxation and turned towards the outdoors. Residences in a variety of bold styles flourished on the shores of the Goëlo region. Built on a hilltop, the 'Turkish Villa' was erected by the Count de la Lande de Calan around 1880. Extended in 1906, it offers uninterrupted views of the sea and the port. The house is part of a co-owned plot with an adjoining 4-star hotel. Access to the property is unrestricted. One parking space is reserved for the villa's residents, and five others can be made available on an occasional basis. The entrance is on the western facade. Extensive vegetation, combined with a coursed granite masonry supporting wall with a balustrade, ensures privacy. A large bed of rosebushes precedes the wall and balusters, with a profusion of agapanthus as a backdrop. Two well-trimmed conifer hedges mark the entrance. Between these, a small staircase leads to an esplanade and to a granite approach stair serving the solid wood entrance door, carved in the shape of a horseshoe arch.
