seaside castle for sale Saint-Malo, France

Réf.4958 : A former corsair city with a remarkable heritage, Saint-Malo offers a rare balance between art de vivre, economic vitality and openness to the sea. Home to nearly 50,000 inhabitants and linked to Paris in just 2 hours 30 minutes by TGV high-speed train, the town makes for comfortable everyday living, whether as a second home or all year round. Just a ten-minute drive from the ramparts of Saint-Malo, the atmosphere of this property offers a striking contrast with the bustle of the corsair city. Once through the gate, a long drive lined with greenery leads up to the chateau, gradually giving way to a sense of calm and tranquillity. Ground floor: front steps lead to the entrance, set in the small brick tower. It opens onto a study, then a dining room of theatrical proportions and a vast drawing room opening onto the terrace, itself edged with an elegant granite balustrade. The spacious, welcoming kitchen extends into a laundry room. Tucked away in the main tower is a secluded study, whose striking Neo-Gothic wooden ceiling catches the eye. The wine-coloured marble fireplace further enhances the warm and authentic atmosphere of the whole. The main drawing room and the kitchen enjoy a dual aspect that gives them particularly pleasant light. The first floor is served by a main oak staircase, complemented by a service staircase. Four bright and practical bedrooms, a large bathroom and two shower rooms are spread across the floor. The largest bedroom is complemented by a charming small round study set in the tower. The two staircases make it possible to consider independent access to the different rooms, while retaining the very pleasant dual aspect of the two master bedrooms. The second floor, with its sloping ceilings, has been fitted out in the attic. In addition to the fifth bedroom, it currently serves as a games and sports area. It also benefits from double access via the two staircases and offers a generous floor area with the potential for several additional bedrooms. From every level, the open views over the park are a reminder of the exceptional character of this property: although set in an urban environment, it remains wrapped in a peaceful, residential atmosphere. Lower ground floor: most of the house rests on a set of eleven cellars lit by basement windows. Total living area: 504.25 sqm. The property extends over 3.52 acres. A handsome drive leads up to the chateau through its romantic park. Pines, cypresses and oaks, some of them well over a hundred years old, make up this fine wooded setting. The large lawn opens out among the trees and is dotted with laurels, hydrangeas and rhododendrons, which bring their changing shades of colour through the seasons. A rare setting in Saint-Malo, where a vast landscaped park gives the property a feeling of being in the heart of nature, while remaining just a few minutes from the town centre and the coast.
