castle with pool for sale Saint-James, France

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.
