Rich in history and beautifully preserved, this exceptional estate for sale offers a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of French heritage.
Whether envisioned as a distinguished private residence, a prestigious hospitality project, a corporate retreat, or an exceptional family estate, the property offers extraordinary potential within one of the most dynamic regions of western France.
Discreetly hidden behind a long wrought-iron gate, the château is approached through an impressive entrance leading to a formal courtyard framed by the graceful symmetry of the main residence and its flanking pavilions. The classical façade, built in granite and punctuated by seven tall windows, is crowned by an elegant slate roof adorned with dormers. A striking horseshoe staircase rises to the entrance terrace, offering a sense of arrival worthy of a grand historic residence.

A Residence of Character and Elegance
Offering approximately 900 square metres of living space, the château unfolds across four levels including cellars, reception floors and vast attic spaces.
Inside, the interiors reveal generous volumes and an exceptional collection of period architectural features. Herringbone parquet floors with inlaid marquetry, finely carved wood panelling, ornate mouldings and original fireplaces create an atmosphere of timeless refinement.
The ground floor is organised around an impressive entrance hall leading to the principal reception rooms:
• a grand reception salon of generous proportions
• an elegant library salon with mezzanine, entirely panelled in wood
• a long gallery leading to several study rooms and offices
• a formal dining room and kitchen, located within one of the side pavilions
Upstairs, seven bedrooms each benefit from their own bathroom or shower room, offering comfort and privacy within this historic setting. Additional rooms provide flexible space for offices or private living areas.

So beautiful. Living here would be a fantasy. A lot of work, maybe. But to be the steward of such an historical property would be an honor. ❤
Thank God, they didn't destroy the original wood panels on some of the rooms by making everything look modern. If they wanted a modern pad, they should have bought a new built, otherwise it looks tacky and out of place!!!
