manors for sale Guerande, France

In the heart of a preserved historic hamlet, Bretagne Sud Sotheby's La Baule unveils a heritage property of rare authenticity: the Manoir de la Sénéchaussée de Lantiern. Built on a site whose origins date back to the 12th century, this unique place is linked to the former presence of the Knights Templar and the nearby Saint-Jean-Baptiste chapel, a spiritual stop on the pilgrimage routes leading to Santiago de Compostela. Steeped in history and symbolism, Lantiern remains a heritage site of great coherence. In the 17th century, the property became the seigneurial seneschalsy, where justice was administered for the surrounding lands. As a testament to this prestigious function, the manor house retains its noble and authentic architecture, where every detail recalls its past. Upon entering, your gaze is irresistibly drawn to a remarkable original wooden staircase, the true centrepiece of the residence. Worn smooth by centuries of use, it embodies the soul of the place and bears witness to the craftsmanship of its era. The house reveals generous volumes, bathed in a unique atmosphere where the charm of the old materials blends harmoniously with an exceptional restoration that respects the spirit of the place. Exposed stonework, period features and elegant proportions combine to create a highly authentic whole. In the heart of a village steeped in history, and in a peaceful natural environment, the property offers a rare living environment, where heritage, nature and serenity combine with elegance.

Ref.4502 : 20 MINUTES FROM THE BEACH : Medieval french manor house for sale in Brittany. The property is located in the Morbihan department, in southern Brittany, close to a commune of 2,500 inhabitants that enjoys an ideal location between land and sea. Just 20 minutes from the beaches of Damgan and 35 minutes from Vannes, this small village combines the benefits of a peaceful country life with the proximity of the Breton coastline. It's also easy to get to, thanks to the Nantes-Vannes axis, which provides quick access to the major conurbations. The nearby beaches, the river Vilaine, the many hiking trails and the small Breton ports such as La Roche Bernard offer a multitude of varied activities. The origins of the fortified property date back to the mid-15th century. It was then used as a religious building for priests. In the 16th century, the old building was remodelled by an archdeacon from Vannes: the windows were enlarged, a chimney was built (stump dated 1534) and the staircase was modified. The building was used as a presbytery until 1912. A pretty wooded driveway bordering a pond leads to the property. The manor house has been divided and the sale includes two wings of this U-shaped manor house, as well as a magnificent dovecote with 991 niches and a beautiful round fountain. Access is also possible via the main courtyard. The manor house is built of granite stone, a material emblematic of Breton architecture, offering robustness and elegance. The steeply pitched roof is covered in natural slate. The arched windows with stone frames and red shutters add a touch of elegance and warmth to the stone façade. Two round towers at the corners of the building are typical of fortified manor houses in Brittany. These elements add a medieval feel and reinforce the authenticity of the site. Pushing open the door of this old Breton manor house is like stepping into another time: wide stone slabs on the floor, stone walls, huge granite fireplaces, ceilings with massive beams blackened by time. The low ceilings, characteristic of old manor houses, reinforce this feeling of protection. It's a place that invites you to reflect and get back to basics. With approx. 520 sqm of living space, the manor house is distributed as follows: Ground floor: dining room and old stone-paved kitchen, kitchen, separate wc, storage room, study, living room - kitchen (renovated in 2000), shower room and wc. 1st floor: bedroom 1 with en suite bathroom (with toilet), bedroom 2 with shower room and toilet, separate toilet, studio (kitchenette) with exposed roof frame and mezzanine bedroom (not insulated), bedroom 3 with en suite bathroom in the tower, bedroom 4 with shower room and toilet, bedroom 5 with shower room and toilet, a large billiards room (spiral staircase accessing the attic and dining room on the ground floor) with chapel area in the tower. Attic: various rooms (not insulated), a former maid's room with water supply. Cellars complete the property. Heritage lovers will appreciate the superb, perfectly preserved listed dovecote, a rare feature that is emblematic of exceptional homes. Finally, a stone shed completes the property, providing ideal space for storage or creating a workshop. The grounds cover an area of around 9.51 acres (3.85 hectares). As soon as you enter, the unique atmosphere of the site is revealed: stone walls structure the different areas of the estate. Facing the south, a majestic, centuries-old cedar stands guard over the property. Below, a pond reflects the sky and the surrounding trees. A rounded fountain, nestling in a green setting, adds a touch of freshness. The following parts are listed on the Inventory of Historic Monuments : the fireplace dating from 1534: listed by order dated 25 September 1928; Facades and roofs of all the buildings, including the north gate of the enclosure and the dovecote: listed by order dated 27 September 1965.
