We are seeking the 7th guardian in 687 years for this truly superb historic Chateau. Located 30 minutes South of Nantes. Originally a hunting lodge for the local Lord and later in its life home for the head of the region's resistance during World War Two. Today's guardian runs a successful Chambres D’Hotes business with an impressive conservatory style building for weddings and other events that can accommodate 200+ people.
Hidden at the end of a long tree lined avenue, the gated entrance opens to show the true beauty of this Italian designed listed villa with its impressive lawned enclosed courtyard. Surrounding the courtyard are the main Chateau to the front and the Chambres D’Hotes, stables, offices, wine production facilities (Ceased) which includes a tasting area and office on one side ...to the other side a 2-bedroom cottage, a kitchen area for the breakfast clients and a huge amount of undeveloped property on 2 levels as well as garages. The number of outbuildings is extensive, providing the next guardian plenty of scope for any business ventures, hobbies or collections. Beyond the buildings you will discover wonderous gardens, forests, fields, a small lake, streams and the old pigeonier dated 1787; here you can truly lose yourself within the natural habitat that the environment offers. There are 2 additional treelined avenues of chestnut and plantain. The main building consists of the entrance hall with the main lounge to the left, a day lounge, large dining room, kitchen, cellar entrance then to the right of the entrance you have an office, library, spare room and double aspect bedroom. Upstairs a very large landing area ideal for a pool table and a further four bedrooms, one of which is the honeymoon suite for weddings. The four-bedroom Chambres D’Hote, has been renovated to an extremely high standard ensuring that the natural features of the property have been kept visible. There is a separate lounge leading to the upstairs bedrooms and doorway to a second office. The kitchen/ dining area has been tastefully designed to provide a large social area whilst cooking and eating.
