Description
Ref.4560 : French restored chateau for sale in Loire Valley.
The château is located close to a village on the banks of the Loire, less than 20 kilometres east of the centre of Nantes.
At the end of the 19th century, this village was very popular with summer visitors, who came here to enjoy the fine sand on the banks of the Loire and to go fishing.
In 1851, the proximity of Nantes and the tranquillity of the area prompted a Nantes industrialist to build a holiday resort here.
The railway line inaugurated at that time, linking Nantes to Paris, enabled the village to develop.
Today, a TER train takes you to the centre of the City of the Dukes of Brittany in just 12 minutes.
The village is bordered to the south by the Loire and the Paris-Le Croisic railway line, and to the north by the départementale 723 and the A11 motorway. So it's easy to get around.
This rural village of 3,200 inhabitants offers a wide range of services and shops, as well as a vibrant community life. It's a very pleasant place to live. It is particularly popular with walkers and cyclists, who enjoy strolling along the banks of the Loire or through the surrounding vineyards.
The château was built in the 19th century facing the Loire on a former vineyard estate.
A cul-de-sac overlooking the countryside and the Loire valley leads to one of the château's two gates. The gate, framed by red brick pillars and slate boundary walls, opens onto a wooded driveway.
At the end of this driveway is a harmonious building in the classical style, with a beautifully symmetrical light-coloured north facade punctuated by tufa stone channelling.
The south facade of the château is also perfectly symmetrical. More imposing than the north facade, it has a central stone facing and a majestic roof dormer with arched pediment.
The upper storey windows also feature a fanciful decorated pediment.
The high windows on the ground floor open onto a wide terrace overlooking the parklands, vineyards and Loire Valley, as far as the eye can see and without overlooking anything.
The staircase, perfect for family photos, leads down to the meadow, with the pool area on the left and the estate's vineyard on the right, which produces a cuvée bearing the estate's name.
The interior of the château is around 330 sqm. A recent interior decorator has given the place a new lease of life. The materials used are of the highest quality. The decor is contemporary and warm, while carefully preserving the old features, parquet flooring, fireplaces, wood panelling, mouldings and rosettes.
On the ground floor: the hall leads to the three beautiful reception rooms overlooking the parklands and the Loire valley. The reception rooms lead directly onto the south-facing terrace.
To the left of the hall is the fully-equipped contemporary kitchen, with its utility room.
To the right of the hall is a study and toilet.
A beautiful original staircase leads to the upper floors.
First floor: the landing leads to two bedrooms to the north, one of which has its own bathroom.
To the south, there is a bedroom with a shower room and a large master bedroom with a large dressing room and bathroom.
On the second floor: two bedrooms facing the Loire and, to the north, a linen room and a sauna.
Two rooms already insulated but currently used as attics could also be converted into additional bedrooms.
