Ref.4894 : Beautiful 15th and 17th-C.country chateau for sale in the heart of Upper Brittany South of Rennes, between the valleys of the Vilaine and Semnon rivers, the property is set in the lush, unspoilt Breton countryside, just minutes from local shops, schools and medical facilities. It is also in the immediate vicinity of a railway station providing connections to Rennes and onward to Paris via the high-speed rail network. A sought-after location on the borders of historic Brittany and the former marches of Anjou. A gravelled drive winds through the park, gradually revealing the château façades beyond lawns dotted with a variety of mature trees, creating a sense of anticipation as one approaches the house. Built over several phases during the 15th and 17th centuries, with alterations made in the 18th century, the château displays remarkable architectural harmony. Its schist and rubble-stone façades are enhanced by pale dressed-stone surrounds to the openings. In places, wisteria, jasmine and honeysuckle climb the walls. The steeply pitched slate roofs are punctuated by curved-pediment dormer windows and tall chimney stacks, giving the property a noble and well-balanced silhouette, without ostentation, in keeping with the restrained character of the historic seigneurial residences of Upper Brittany. The 560 sqm of living accommodation offers a particularly well-organised layout, centred around generous reception rooms, spacious bedrooms on the upper floor and crowned by a vast attic beneath a magnificent timber roof structure. The ground floor: The entrance hall, paved with original terracotta tiles beneath exposed beams, creates long views towards the reception rooms and the park, while the fine wooden staircase leads to the upper floor. The grand salon, the principal reception room of the house, retains its painted wood panelling from floor to ceiling, a marble fireplace with an overmantel mirror and its original parquet flooring. Tall windows overlook the park and inner courtyard. The dining room, also facing due south towards the park, is similarly panelled and features two exposed main beams and its own wooden fireplace. It leads through to the service room and then to the kitchen. With exposed stone walls and dark timber beams, the kitchen retains all its rustic character while offering the possibility of opening onto a large family living space. A spacious courtyard-facing room with a fireplace offers generous proportions and could readily be converted into a ground-floor bedroom. A laundry room, bathroom and pantry complete this level, allowing for comfortable single-level living. The first floor: The eight bedrooms, accessed from a wide corridor, are generously proportioned and filled with natural light, with views over the park. Several retain their original fireplaces with imposing carved wooden mantels, as well as their historic floorboards, providing a tangible reminder of the château's history. Two bathrooms complete this floor, which is equally well suited to a family residence or a hospitality project. Above, accessed from the first floor by a staircase, lies a vast attic offering considerable potential for conversion. OUTBUILDINGS : The stone and rendered outbuildings are arranged around a gravelled service courtyard. A woodshed, stable, pantry, turret and workshop provide flexible ancillary spaces that can be adapted to suit a variety of projects. Some retain their original, unadorned character and offer further restoration potential. Within the park stands a circular dovecote, a reminder of the estate's former seigneurial status, together with an enclosed barn. Nearby are the masonry remains of a former chapel. GROUNDS : Enclosed by old stone walls, the park extends to approximately 1.35 hectares and offers a variety of atmospheres, combining broad lawns dotted with a diversity of mature and unusual trees with a mature orchard, vegetable garden with greenhouse, and chicken coop. A swimming pool, requiring restoration, is located nearby, enclosed and discreetly screened from view within a more private part of the grounds.

Just 45 minutes from Saint-Malo, an 18th-century estate. The estate includes a castle, three furnished outbuildings, a reception hall, an outdoor swimming pool, and a chapel. It 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 set within a 25-hectare park, where 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 found by the current occupants in the attics. Meticulously restored, the works are now displayed in the salons and rooms of the castle. Orientated north-south, the main house of about 450 m² dates from the 19th century. It is joined to an old manor, known to have origins going back to 1429. To the north, the central body is flanked by two pavilions topped with long sloped slate roofs. The facade is tall, defined by six regular bays over three levels. The walls are covered with yellow plaster, and the window frames and corner chains are made of red granite. A significant central dormer with wings, topped with a sculpted pediment, crowns the whole, while a corner turret rises in the northwest. On the south side, facing the large parterre of the park, the old house is built of dressed 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.
