Beautifully restored chateau overlooking the Loire river

Restored 19th-century château near Nantes, overlooking the Loire Valley. Elegant 330 m2 interior with historic charm and modern updates. Features include grand reception rooms, six bedrooms, outbuildings, a vineyard, and a 5x11m pool. Set on a private 6-hectare estate with breathtaking views.

Nestled on the banks of the Loire, this beautifully restored 19th-century château is situated just under 20 kilometers east of Nantes, near a charming village renowned for its history and natural beauty.
During the late 19th century, this village was a favored retreat for summer visitors, drawn to its sandy riverbanks and excellent fishing. In 1851, a prominent Nantes industrialist, captivated by the area's tranquility and proximity to the city, chose this idyllic setting to establish a holiday estate. The inauguration of the railway line connecting Nantes to Paris further accelerated the village’s growth. Today, a TER train whisks you to the heart of Nantes in just 12 minutes.

The village, home to 3,200 residents, enjoys a privileged location bordered by the Loire and the Paris-Le Croisic railway line to the south, with easy access to major routes such as the D723 and the A11 motorway to the north. A vibrant community life, convenient amenities, and picturesque landscapes make this an exceptional place to live, particularly for those who love walking, cycling, or exploring the surrounding vineyards.
