With a known history dating back to the 11th century, the site of this 128-hectare estate in Nantes, France has seen the rise and fall of several castles over the millennium. What remains today—a stately chateau completed in 1793 and renovated in the 20th century—is now on the market.
Fronted by impressive grounds reminiscent of the Gardens of Versailles, the palatial property is elegant in every sense of the word, exuding an old-world prestige. Interior spaces are grand, complete with ornate detailing, soaring ceilings and the finest materials.
Covering over 1,000 square meters of living space, the fully furnished, seven-bedroom chateau includes an indoor swimming pool, hammam and gym.
In addition to the exceptional residential offering, the property encompasses world-class equestrian facilities and a stud farm. Built less within the last 10 years, the facilities include 145 boxes spread over several stables, around 46 hectares of well-landscaped paddocks and pastures and three riding arenas, as well as three sand quarries, two Havrincourt rounds and a gallop track.
Enclosed by stone walls, the property overlooks the River Erdre. Private access to the water is available thanks to a 30-meter pontoon.
The city of Nantes resides some 25 kilometers away and 35 kilometers away from an international airport. A heliport on the property allows for direct access.
