Ref.4759 : French chateau for sale for events in Loire-Atantique department The estate is located in Loire-Atlantique, in the heart of the Pays de la Loire region, about 20 kilometers east of Nantes. On the right bank of the Loire River, it enjoys a preserved rural environment punctuated by forests, valleys, and vineyards. The setting is ideal for walks and hikes, inviting visitors to discover a varied landscape. The nearest village is 3 kilometers away. This lively village has around forty shops and amenities, including a bakery, delicatessen, restaurants, shops, and a Wednesday morning market. There are schools and a network of community associations. There is also a regional express train (TER) service, allowing you to reach the center of Nantes in just fifteen minutes. The chateau is an elegant interpretation of the neoclassical style, subtly enriched with local influences evoking the follies that dot the Nantes region and the grand 18th-century country houses. The main façade, facing north, is perfectly symmetrical around nine bays. It is punctuated by a central tuffeau stone avant-corps, crowned with a modillion pediment, lending the whole structure a sense of nobility, classicism, and balance. To the south, the façade echoes this nine-bay composition, while distinguishing itself with slightly protruding side wings, extended by two low wings. This architectural layout creates an elegant U-shaped plan, opening the château onto its surroundings of woods and meadows. The materials reflect a careful and harmonious choice: tuffeau stone highlights the structural elements, while a light-colored coating covers the walls, all crowned by a slate roof punctuated with refined dormer windows. The main entrance, sober and distinguished, is accessed via a granite staircase topped by a cornice with modillions resting on two consoles. The chateau comprises four floors with a living area of approximately 1,000 sqm : 1) Ground floor : currently used for commercial and event purposes. 2) First floor : dedicated to guest accommodation + private spaces. 3) Second floor : dedicated to meetings or professional appointments. 4) The cellar, covering approximately one-third of the surface area and accessible via a stone staircase, consists of three separate areas, including a vaulted wine cellar. The ground floor of the chateau is currently used for commercial and event purposes. It is organized around a central axis and offers beautiful spaces that are perfectly suited to welcoming the public and hosting prestigious professional activities. The main entrance is via a forecourt leading to a dedicated reception area, offering a clear and functional first impression. This area is directly connected to public restrooms designed to meet hospitality standards. The heart of the ground floor consists of a vast hall measuring approximately 51 sqm, with elegant proportions (approximately 15 m x 3.40 m). This hall serves all the spaces on this level and is a true hub for circulation and distribution. Beyond the large hall, facing the park, are the spacious reception rooms measuring approximately 150 sqm, organized into three adjoining salons (approximately 8.5 m x 6 m per salon). Offering great flexibility of use, this space has retained the soul and character of the château, with its beautiful honey-colored parquet flooring, wood paneling, and bright white moldings. These rooms benefit from multiple openings providing plenty of light and views of the park and its centuries-old trees, as well as easy access to a large terrace. The ground floor also includes a catering office, strategically positioned to serve the reception rooms, technical and service rooms, and walkways that comply with public access requirements (signage, fire safety). On the right side of the lobby, several independent private spaces have been set up. These rooms are clearly identified and separated from the reception areas, ensuring confidentiality and functionality. A beautiful staircase leads to the first floor of the chateau. This floor is dedicated to accommodation. The space is organised around a central landing that harmoniously distributes 8 beautiful bedrooms. The accommodation capacity is 24 people. The rooms are spacious, with easy access between them, and each space enjoys a pleasant sense of independence. Double rooms alternate with large family rooms that can accommodate up to four people. Some have their own bathroom with toilet, while others have bathrooms in the immediate vicinity, which are perfectly distributed for practical and comfortable use. The upper floor offers both the advantages of a large family home and those of a high-end hospitality business. The whole space offers a calm and elegant atmosphere, conducive to rest and relaxation. The proportions, brightness and rational layout emphasise the functional nature of this floor, while respecting the soul and standing of a characterful residence. The second floor of the chAteau is distinguished by its spacious rooms and open layout, ideal for receptions or business meetings. Accessed via the main staircase, the central landing leads to two large spaces. On one side is a large auditorium measuring approximately 108 sqm, whose generous dimensions (approximately 18 x 6 metres) are ideal for conferences, presentations, private concerts or large family events.

On either side of the floor, two attics complete this level. These additional spaces offer interesting potential for storage or conversion. A unique level that enhances the character and versatility of this exceptional residence. Numerous outbuildings complete the estate, covering an area of approximately 1,000 sqm: - A set of magnificent symmetrical outbuildings, whose façades are enlivened by arcades and windows framed in tuffeau stone, reinforcing their structured and harmonious appearance. The buildings are arranged around a central courtyard, in the middle of which stands an ancient well.

The forest, which covers more than 37 acres (15 hectares), is home to a beautiful diversity of species, including cedars, elms, chestnut trees and beeches. At the edge of the woods, a pond of approximately 5,000 sqm, elegantly surrounded by stone walls, completes the ensemble, giving the estate a great deal of poetry and charm.
