Ref. 4319: For sale, Elegant manor house, at just less than 1 km from the sea, anglo-norman style
In Loire Atlantique, near Nantes, the Pays de Retz is the southern gateway to Brittany. Around the cove of Pornic and the long beaches of Saint-Brévin, 52 km of coastline are dotted with creeks, long stretches of fine sand and picturesque seaside resorts. The famous square-net fisheries are part of the unmissable heritage of this coast, known as the Côte de Jade. Alongside the bustling coastline, marshes and bocage create a bucolic mosaic. It's in this verdant Pays de Retz countryside, less than a kilometer from the first beaches and 10 minutes from Pornic and Saint Brévin, that this half-timbered seaside-style residence is nestled in its grounds.
The nearest seaside resort is less than a kilometer away. All local shops, elementary school, health center and pharmacy are nearby.
The origins of the manor house date back to 1776. This date is inscribed on the façade of the manor house. It was an estate with farms, belonging to the same family for several generations. The manor house was remodeled in the early 19th century, giving it a seaside feel with its half-timbering. In the early years of the 19th century, the Côte de Jade became the destination of choice for a wealthy elite attracted by the benefits of spring waters and sea bathing.
From the road, through the gate, you can see the manor house in its wooded grounds. The manor's main facade, with its half-timbering, dark red shutters, sloping slate roof with dormer windows, small balconies and chapel with bell tower, is in the Anglo-Norman style, and is part of the commune's remarkable heritage. Access is via a small path to the side. To the south, a gate leads to a garden. As soon as you enter the house, you'll be charmed by its luminosity. The recent decoration is very successful. Original features have been preserved, including parquet flooring, tiles, wood panelling, fireplaces and beams. The colors of the walls and woodwork have been carefully chosen in soft tones, bringing serenity throughout the house. The surface area of the manor house is 216 sqm. Access is via an open-plan hall with attractive period tiles in warm tones. The wooden staircase and beams immediately add to the charm of the place.
On the right, a large, light-filled living room (32 sqm). The floor features the same tiles as the entrance hall, wood panelling, exposed beams and a beautiful wooden fireplace. On the left, a cosy kitchen with dining area (17 sqm). The floor is tiled, the kitchen units are black, and the briquette fireplace has been judiciously painted black. A scullery with a door to the outside, and a toilet. There's also a shower room on the first floor, with a fine choice of tiles.
A beautiful wooden staircase leads to the second floor. A corridor leads to two bright bedrooms, with parquet floors, white walls and a wooden fireplace, as well as a shower room with toilet. A pretty boudoir-style dressing room completes the second floor.
The second floor features a large landing that could be converted into an office area, a first bedroom with an adjoining room that could be used as a study or dressing room. On this floor, there's also a bathroom with toilet, tiled floor and wooden vanity unit.
A few meters from the manor house is an old outbuilding that has just been completely renovated and perfectly decorated, facing the swimming pool. With a surface area of approx. 50 sqm, it features a living room with kitchenette and sitting area. The floor is travertine. Exposed beams. A shower room and toilet. A new pellet stove has been installed. Double-glazed PVC windows. At the far end, a lovely, bright bedroom with access to the swimming pool.
Adjoining the manor house is a pretty chapel with a bell tower, in the same spirit as the manor house.
A little further away are the former stables, in need of renovation. A second dwelling could be created here, with a surface area of approx. 50 sqm.
The surface area of the grounds is approx. 9,000 sqm. The park is surrounded by old stone walls. To the south, a garden with a well and old lime trees. To the north, a beautiful park planted with century-old trees, with a well. A beautiful meadow surrounded by hundred-year-old oaks with a large pond. The pool area is in front of the annex house.
