About the Property

Elegant 17th-century château with extensive grounds near Rennes, France, rebuilt in 1655 in the purest Louis XIII style. This exceptional property is situated just ten minutes from the city center and the TGV station, which connects to Paris in 1 hour and 28 minutes, and fifteen minutes from the airport. The estate encompasses approximately 3.4 hectares of landscaped parkland, offering a harmonious blend of history and architectural elegance. The château, documented as early as 1419, features a central building framed by two slightly projecting pavilions, rising gracefully over four levels. Its architecture is characterized by dormer windows with curved pediments, rusticated quoins, moulded stringcourses, and limestone surrounds, creating a balanced and restrained aesthetic. Two turret towers crowned with imperial roofs punctuate the silhouette, while the steep slate roof, adorned with decorative finials, enhances the overall elegance. With over 663 square meters of living space, the interior combines generosity and refinement. It includes a superb master suite of approximately 50 square meters, five additional bedrooms—most with their own en-suite bathrooms—and impressive reception rooms of nearly 80 square meters, ideal for entertaining or hosting private events. Outbuildings include renovated former stone stables accommodating two large garages, a workshop, and a laundry room with extensive washing facilities.
