castles for sale Brittany, France (page 2)

A chateau from the era of King Louis XIII of France, listed as a historical monument and nestled in Brittany, just 10 minutes from the city of Rennes. The chateau’s style is typical of the era of King Louis XIII of France. Indeed, its architecture is characteristic of the 17th century. Though the edifice was mentioned as early as in 1419, it was rebuilt in 1655. The chateau has been listed as a historical monument since 1969. It offers a 646m² floor area. The building has a central section, extended with two pavilions that protrude slightly. The facade is coated with rendering and punctuated with five even bays of four floors. The edifice is capped with a steep slate roof with dormers that have arched pediments. Fleur-de-lys-shaped finials crown the pavilion roofs. The window surrounds are made of limestone, laid in vertical toothed courses that frame the windows. Stringcourses with mouldings, also made of limestone, mark the different floors. The decorative features are discreet. They include sculpted suns and coats of arms in bas-relief. From the east elevation, the pavilion ends are extended with two half-timbered corner towers. Each of these two towers is capped with an ogee roof, crowned with a small bell tower. Outbuildings dot the rest of the estate. They include a caretaker’s house, a bakehouse and two dovecotes, which are also listed as historical monuments. The whole collection of buildings is surrounded by a French-style topiary garden and tree-dotted grounds that cover more than three hectares and include a lake, a kitchen garden, a rose garden and a tennis court.

Superb castle located just 15 minutes from the center of Rennes, with the TGV station connecting to Paris in 1 hour and 28 minutes, and only fifteen minutes from the airport. Established since 1419, this exceptional property was rebuilt in 1655 in the purest Louis XIII style. Listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments, the building benefits from official heritage recognition, as well as the favorable tax regime for protected buildings, which is a key advantage for its enhancement and transmission. The central section, flanked by two slightly protruding pavilions, rises harmoniously over four levels. Dormer windows with curved pediments, harp-shaped door frames, molded bands, and limestone surrounds create a refined and perfectly balanced architecture. Two turrets topped with imperial roofs and lanterns highlight the silhouette, while the high slate roof, accented with ridge finials, underscores the property's elegance. The castle offers over 663 sqm of living space, not including outbuildings. The interiors blend spaciousness and elegance, featuring a superb master suite of about 50 sqm, five additional bedrooms—most with en-suite bathrooms—as well as large reception rooms of nearly 80 sqm, ideal for entertaining or hosting private events. The renovated old stone stables now include two large garages, a workshop, a laundry room with a spacious laundry area, and an independent guest house with two bedrooms, a dining room, and a kitchen. Additional highlights include a dovecote, a pigeon house converted into a wine cellar of over 25 sqm, and a former bakery, all contributing to the estate’s historic character. The property is set within a landscaped park of about 3.4 hectares, featuring a water feature, a small woodland, a rose garden, and a remarkable ginkgo tree—a true signature of the garden. Outdoor amenities also include a tennis court discreetly sheltered by hedges, and a well.

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.
