PropertyNantes (44) Price : $1,941,600
An authentic Nantes folly with its wooded grounds and private jetty, on the banks of the River Erdre near Nantes. The entrance to the property is via a motorised, wrought iron gate at the end of a cul-de-sac off a small local road. A drive traverses a thicket and runs around the back of the house, leading to garages and a Directoire-style terrace. From here, the majestic view opens out over the parkland below and the Erdre at its widest point. The steeply sloping grounds, planted with centuries-old trees, end in a bank almost 100 m long, featuring a private jetty.
A small country house built by the town's former mayor on the banks of the River Erdre in 1821, it was subsequently remodelled with the addition of a Directoire-style double dormer window. Two wings were added in the early 20th century, lending the residence its true 'folie nantaise' (Nantes folly) appearance, named after the summer villas built by wealthy industrialists at that time.
The rectangular folly has a central section with three bays, flanked by two single-bay wings.
At the top of the grounds, close to the entrance gates, there are discreet outbuildings used for parking vehicles and storing equipment. Their coursed schist masonry walls and tiled roofs stand in no contrast with those of the noble building, with its rendered facades and slate roof.
