castle with reception room for sale Ille-et-Vilaine, France

45 minutes from Saint-Malo, an 18th-century estate. The estate includes a castle, three converted outbuildings, a reception hall, an outdoor swimming pool, and a chapel. It is currently organized for hosting weddings, family stays, and private events. The accommodation capacity is sixteen rooms, totaling 960 m² of living space. The buildings are situated within a 25-hectare park, where walking paths lined with streams reveal the natural wealth of valleys, woods, and ponds. Chateaubriand mentions in his writings the painter François-Agathon Pinot-du-Petit-Bois, who lived here at that time and whose paintings were found by the current occupants in the attics. Meticulously restored, these works are now displayed in the lounges and rooms of the castle. Oriented north-south, the main house of about 450 m² dates back to the 19th century. It is backed by an ancient manor, whose known origins date back to 1429. To the north, the central body is flanked by two pavilions topped with long slate roofs. The facade is tall, rhythmically featuring six regular bays over three levels. The walls are covered with yellow plaster, and the door and window frames and corner chains are made of red granite. A significant central dormer with flaps, topped with a sculpted pediment, crowns the whole, while a corner turret rises to the northwest. On the south side, facing the grand garden 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.
