16TH-CENTURY CASTLE – 2.2 HECTARES OF PARKLAND – 12 BEDROOMS – LONGÈRE (FARMHOUSE) – HISTORIC OUTBUILDINGS
Just 9 minutes from La Chapelle-Caro, nestled in the heart of the unspoiled Vannes countryside, lies this remarkable castle, whose origins date back to the 16th century and whose architecture was enhanced in the 19th century.
Concealed within a 2.2-hectare landscaped park planted with century-old trees, the estate forms a heritage ensemble of rare coherence. The castle, its historic tower, its longère, and its old outbuildings create a truly distinctive estate, preserved over the centuries.
Built of schist, granite, and dressed stone, the castle rises three stories and houses 17 rooms, including 12 bedrooms. Its silhouette, noble materials, and architectural features bear witness to the richness of its history and the evolution of the residence over the centuries.
The horseshoe-shaped staircase, a particularly remarkable architectural element, lends the entrance a distinctive elegance. On the second floor, a beautiful oratory is one of the château's most unique features and reflects the heritage and spiritual significance of the site.
Opposite the residence, a stone tower, also dating from the 16th century, reinforces the architectural composition and evokes the estate's defensive and seigniorial past.
A RICH HISTORIC ESTATE
Around the château are numerous remarkably well-preserved stone outbuildings, which contribute significantly to the estate's character.
A large, fully renovated farmhouse offers a particularly attractive independent space for accommodating family and guests or developing a specific project.
A former stable, a large garage capable of housing a significant collection of vintage vehicles, and a shed complete the property.
Two wells and an old bread oven serve as reminders of the daily life and traditional layout of this estate throughout its history.
The château also features a semi-basement, a true functional extension of the house, comprising a wine cellar, a woodshed, and a fruit cellar.
The entire property is remarkably well-preserved. The buildings, materials, and original architectural features have been carefully maintained, allowing the estate to retain its authentic character.
The individual wastewater treatment system complies with current regulations.
A PRESERVED GREEN OASIS
The 2.2-hectare park is one of the estate's greatest assets. Its centuries-old trees, vistas, and diverse landscaped areas create an environment of great serenity.
Away from the hustle and bustle, the estate offers the rare feeling of living in a timeless place, while remaining close to major roads and urban centers.
The Gulf of Morbihan is less than 35 minutes away, and Rennes Airport is about 40 minutes away.
THROUGH ITS HISTORY, ARCHITECTURE, AND QUALITY OF PRESERVATION, THIS CHÂTEAU IS A RARE PROPERTY.
Its authenticity, the presence of its remarkable heritage features, the richness of its outbuildings, and the beauty of its grounds make it a truly unique estate.
A characterful residence for those seeking much more than just a home: a place steeped in history, preserved architecture, and a refined lifestyle in an exceptional setting.
