castle with pool for sale Ille-et-Vilaine, France

45 minutes from Saint-Malo and Mont-Saint-Michel, a wedding estate from the 18th century with 25 hectares of park and ponds. The estate includes a castle, three converted outbuildings, a reception hall, an outdoor swimming pool, and a chapel. The entire estate is now organized for hosting weddings, family stays, and private events. The accommodation capacity is sixteen rooms, with a total living area of 960 m². The buildings are situated within a 25-hectare park, where the walking paths lined with streams reveal the natural richness of valleys, woods, and ponds. Chateaubriand mentions in his writings the painter François-Agathon Pinot-du-Petit-Bois, who lived here and whose paintings were discovered by the current occupants in the attics. Meticulously restored, the works are now displayed in the salons and bedrooms of the castle. Oriented north-south, the main house of approximately 450 m² dates back to the 19th century. It is adjoined to an ancient manor, the origins of which are known to date back to 1429. To the north, the central body is flanked by two pavilions topped with slate roofs. The facade is tall, rhythmically punctuated by six regular bays over three levels. The walls are coated with yellow plaster, while the window frames and corner chains are made of red granite. A significant central dormer with winglets, topped by a sculpted pediment, crowns the whole, while a corner turret rises to the northwest. On the south side, facing the large parterre of the park, the old house is built of dressed stone with sandstone and granite. Under a slate roof, this rectangular building is rhythmically arranged with seven regular bays over three levels.This description has been automatically translated from French.
