The estate unfolds across 4.17 hectares of meticulously tended parkland, where the air carries the scent of earth and blossoms, and the only soundtrack is the gentle murmur of a spring-fed pond-once a humble lavoir-fed by an eternal spring.
Here, time slows, and the world feels both timeless and tenderly alive. Nestled in the heart of the Loire-Atlantique, a region famed for its Muscadet wines and Vendee War history, this property offers the perfect blend of rural seclusion and urban convenience.
Just 20km from Nantes, a vibrant city with TGV rail links to Paris and an international airport, it's an ideal base for exploring the Pays de la Loire region.
This is no ordinary manor. It is a survivor, its very walls telling the tale of resilience and reinvention. The fire that swept through during the Vendee Wars left its mark in the most poetic way-an asymmetrical silhouette that gives the house its soul-stirring character.
Walk through its grand entrance, and you're stepping into a world where every exposed beam, every ancient fireplace, and every terracotta tile has a story to share. The 397m2 of living space is arranged across three floors, offering a symphony of rooms designed for both grandeur and intimacy.
The grand salon, with its monumental fireplace, is a stage for evenings of wine and laughter, while the formal dining room evokes the elegance of lavish banquets. The separate kitchen, a modern addition, blends seamlessly with the historic fabric, offering the comforts of today without compromising the home's timeless charm.
Upstairs, eight bedrooms promise restful retreats, each with its own personality.
Exposed beams crisscross ceilings, and ancient terracotta tiles whisper underfoot, their worn surfaces bearing the patina of centuries. The cellar, cool and vast, waits patiently to cradle wines, preserves, or the simple treasures of everyday life.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
