listed castle for sale Morbihan, France

An 18th-century chateau listed as a historical monument with many outbuildings and 20 hectares of grounds, nestled in France’s Morbihan department. The landscape is gently undulating, with forests, meadows, farmland and hamlets. You drive down country lanes to reach the property, which then gradually comes into view. The chateau and its outbuildings, whose story can be traced back to the 13th century, stand on 20 hectares of grounds, beside wooded hills. An imposing gate marks the main entrance. Beyond it, a driveway leads to the edifice in a straight line. The chateau was built in the 18th century where a manor once stood. It faces east and west. In the following century, it was successively redesigned, with some inelegant vestiges next to it removed. It has a semi-basement, a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The edifice has a central section framed between two pavilions. An adjoining section protrudes from the north end. Beside country roads, several other entrances lead to the different outbuildings on the north side. There is a farm building and a farmyard with stables, a hen house, a dovecote, a utility room, a pig shed, a barn and a kennel. Near the farmyard, on the west side, there is a former orchard with a small dwelling and a greenhouse. This vast plot is enclosed within walls. Beyond it, gardens and meadows make up the rest of the grounds.
