castle for sale Quimper, France

Réf. 4886 : Charming 19th C. chateau near Quimper This château stands majestically on its promontory. Surrounded by its grounds of just over 19 hectares, it offers a haven of tranquility and a life of complete privacy within its landscaped park. It overlooks a coastal river that winds its way through 15 municipalities and is considered one of Brittany’s most beautiful river landscapes. For a long time, it played a key role in supplying towns from the sea. Today, this river is a place for walks and exploration, but in the past, the woods and forests were harvested, and fishing was an important industry here. Émile Zola stayed in this area, renowned for its beautiful estates, and described it as a “beautiful region.” The property is ideally located, close to a major city with all its amenities and a TGV station, and not far from the beaches of southern Finistère. The elongated château is distinguished by its elegant and imposing architecture. It is flanked by circular towers at the corners, as well as watchtowers topped with hipped roofs. The facades are accentuated by a projecting central section that serves as both a gable and a pavilion, creating a harmonious interplay of volumes. The ornamentation, inspired by the Neo-Gothic style, is evident in numerous decorative elements: mullioned windows, dormers topped with gables adorned with trefoils, slender pinnacles, and carved brackets. Together, these elements give the building a romantic and medieval appearance, characteristic of the 19th-century Gothic Revival. The château welcomes you with a spacious entrance hall leading to two sumptuous rooms with hardwood floors and wood paneling—one measuring 57 sqm (the former living room) and the other 53 sqm (the former dining room)—featuring majestic fireplaces and 3.70m-high ceilings. A 24 sqm kitchen opens onto the rear of the property and is accessible via the staircase hall or the former dining room. Its remarkable central staircase, featuring a spiral banister, leads to the 3 suites (ranging from 33 sqm to 48 sqm) and the 8 bedrooms (ranging from 15 sqm to 26 sqm), all equipped with their own bathroom or shower room. The property boasts a stunning view of the coastal river, with its ever-changing light as the tides ebb and flow, and enjoys approximately 600 meters of wooded riverbank. Not to mention the possibility of mooring right at the property’s doorstep.
