Elegant 17th- and 18th-Century Château in Upper Brittany

About the Property

Elegant 17th- and 18th-century château located in the heart of Upper Brittany, constructed in 1700 and encompassing 560 square meters of living space. This refined property is set within a tranquil landscape characterized by alternating valleys, meadows, and wooded areas, just a short drive from Rennes, the capital of Brittany. The château offers a harmonious blend of country living with convenient access to urban amenities. The estate is approached via a private driveway that meanders through the wooded grounds, gradually revealing the château's elegant façades. The architecture reflects remarkable consistency, featuring a well-ordered façade punctuated by tall windows and an imposing slate roof. The interior layout is thoughtfully designed, with generous reception areas and a spacious sleeping area. The ground floor includes an entrance hall that serves as a distribution point, leading to the grand drawing room, which is bathed in natural light and offers views of the wooded grounds. The dining room, designed for entertaining, flows seamlessly into the pantry and kitchen, which retains the potential for contemporary reconfiguration. Additionally, a second living room, utility room, bathroom, and pantry are conveniently located on this level. The first floor is dedicated to private quarters, accessible via an elegant staircase. It comprises six generously proportioned bedrooms, all filled with natural light and several featuring original fireplaces and historic wooden floors. Two bathrooms complete this level, making it well-suited for family living or hosting guests. Surrounding the château are historic outbuildings arranged around a former service courtyard, including a garage, workshop, and various adaptable structures. Notably, a circular dovecote stands as a testament to the property's former seigneurial status, while the remains of an old chapel enhance the estate's unique character. A swimming pool, currently in need of restoration, offers potential for leisure activities. The grounds, covering approximately 3.3 acres, are adorned with mature ornamental trees and expansive lawns, creating a serene environment that complements the château's architecture. The gardens extend the reception rooms and provide sweeping views of the estate, while the layout reflects the traditional coexistence of ornamental and food-producing areas.
