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.

Overlooking the Rance Valley from a naturally defensive and perfectly preserved position, the estate enjoys an exceptional setting, entirely free from disturbance. The terraced parkland unfolds a spectacular plunging view, offering deep and ever-changing perspectives across the valley, between meadows, woodland and distant horizons, within a protected environment. The manor house, the historic heart of the property, embodies a restrained yet powerful architectural style, characteristic of late Renaissance Breton seigneurial residences. Built in local stone, it is distinguished by its balanced proportions, regular fenestration and steeply pitched slate roofs. In immediate proximity, an independent chapel of remarkable purity of line enhances the estate’s singular and heritage character. The outbuildings are harmoniously arranged around the manor, contributing to the overall coherence of the property: former stone dependencies, partly converted into living space, along with annexes and technical buildings, offer significant potential for reinterpretation. An independent caretaker’s house completes the ensemble. The landscaped grounds, structured in successive terraces, follow the natural topography and reveal a sequence of distinct settings. The relationship to the landscape is ever-present: each vantage point captures the valley in a commanding panoramic perspective, lending the property a truly contemplative yet sovereign dimension. At the crossroads of history, architecture and nature, this is a rare estate, destined for an ambitious vision — whether as a family residence, a reception domain, or a heritage asset to be revealed.

On the banks of the Rance, between Dinan and Dinard, a manor from the 16th and 18th centuries listed as a historical monument, its outbuildings, and its chapel. From a departmental road, a first gateway flanked by granite pillars accesses the estate, which extends over more than 30 hectares. A long avenue of oaks leads after more than 300 meters to a second gate, pierced in a stone wall enclosure, which protects the manor and the ancillary buildings, including a chapel. It is possible to reach a longhouse as well as part of the outbuildings independently, without passing through the lordly residence. Facing south, the latter overlooks the Rance. In Renaissance style, the facade indicates a construction from the mid-16th century. The building is notably distinguished by its cut-off staircase tower, topped by a square volume covered with a four-pitched slate roof supported by granite corbels. Terracotta finials and decorative mitrons adorn the two-pitched roof of the house. Reconfigurations and extensions date back to the 18th century, with the creation of two lower wings, surmounted by dormers with a hipped roof. Finally, a small, more recent building to the east houses a kitchen. The whole is built of sandstone and granite rubble, partially covered with a light render. The chains and the surrounds of the openings are made of cut granite stone. To the north, partially adjoining the building, the outbuildings border an enclosed area, a remnant of an old vegetable garden and a courtyard. Beyond, the longhouse was rebuilt in the 19th century to replace an old farmstead. The lands are surrounded by meadows and woods as well as by the river below, without neighbors or nuisances.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Without equal in the entire bay, from Cancale to Fréhel, the Domaine de La Vieux Ville is discovered through a long avenue of green oaks, through fields (7 hectares) and completely surrounded by thick woods (8 hectares). Solidly implanted on top of the Grande Plage, the Manor (600 m2 on three levels) offers an breathtaking sea view of the Ébihens Islands, Cézembre and on clear days, the Chausey Islands on the horizon. All around the manor, a harmonious combination of small buildings (8) nestled in the midst of a 1-hectare kitchen garden allows for a family project where everyone will find their place. So close to the Saint-Cast church, whose bell tower alone emerges from the woods, equidistant from the deep-water port and its 18-hole golf course (800m as the crow flies), between land and sea, it is not uncommon to see three deer strolling peacefully in the frame of a window.

Réf. 4830: Listed castle, set within a 568 acres estate in the Côtes-d'Armor. This remarkable château, a true gem of Breton heritage, is situated in the Côtes d’Armor department, in the hinterland of Saint-Brieuc, at the heart of a 568 acres natural estate, largely wooded, which constitutes a rare example of the large landed estates of the 19th century. Although situated in an isolated and unspoilt rural setting, it is nonetheless accessible, a short distance from a charming medium-sized town with all amenities. The nearest beaches are 30 minutes away, and Paris is a 2-hour 20-minute journey by TGV. Built on the site of a former manor house dating from the 15th century, which was extended and remodelled in the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic style, this exceptional château embodies a perfect blend of fascinating, cohesive, historic architecture and the demands of modern living. Restored at great expense with remarkable attention to detail, it offers high-quality amenities in an authentic setting. At the end of a long, 1.4-kilometre avenue winding through the woods and passing close to the pond, the château, with its L-shaped layout, reveals its full grandeur. It immediately commands attention at first glance. Its façade is punctuated by mullioned windows and tall dormer windows with pointed gables; its polygonal tower is flanked by a turret on a lamp base, and the truncated tower in the inner corner forms the entrance staircase, these two towers reinforcing its exceptional character. Behind its elegant facades of dressed granite stone lie vast, light-filled reception rooms offering beautiful views of the surroundings. These rooms are enhanced by carefully preserved period features: a moulded entrance door with pinnacles and fleurons, monumental fireplaces, wood panelling, a grand staircase with balusters, and a spiral staircase. With 1,250 sqm of living space, comprising approximately 420 sqm per floor, the château features a large central entrance hall with a grand staircase leading to two adjoining living rooms, a dining room, a fitted kitchen, a study, a billiard room, a gym and two toilets.
