Full Description
Superb castle located just 15 minutes from the center of Rennes, with the TGV station connecting to Paris in 1 hour and 28 minutes, and only fifteen minutes from the airport.
Established since 1419, this exceptional property was rebuilt in 1655 in the purest Louis XIII style.
Listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments, the building benefits from official heritage recognition, as well as the favorable tax regime for protected buildings, which is a key advantage for its enhancement and transmission.
The central section, flanked by two slightly protruding pavilions, rises harmoniously over four levels. Dormer windows with curved pediments, harp-shaped door frames, molded bands, and limestone surrounds create a refined and perfectly balanced architecture. Two turrets topped with imperial roofs and lanterns highlight the silhouette, while the high slate roof, accented with ridge finials, underscores the property's elegance.
The castle offers over 663 sqm of living space, not including outbuildings. The interiors blend spaciousness and elegance, featuring a superb master suite of about 50 sqm, five additional bedrooms—most with en-suite bathrooms—as well as large reception rooms of nearly 80 sqm, ideal for entertaining or hosting private events.
The renovated old stone stables now include two large garages, a workshop, a laundry room with a spacious laundry area, and an independent guest house with two bedrooms, a dining room, and a kitchen.
Additional highlights include a dovecote, a pigeon house converted into a wine cellar of over 25 sqm, and a former bakery, all contributing to the estate’s historic character.
The property is set within a landscaped park of about 3.4 hectares, featuring a water feature, a small woodland, a rose garden, and a remarkable ginkgo tree—a true signature of the garden. Outdoor amenities also include a tennis court discreetly sheltered by hedges, and a well.
