Easily accessible via the N24 highway, the property combines architectural elegance with significant potential for residential, hospitality or event-based projects.

Facing south across its expansive 5.4-hectare parkland, the château opens onto a landscape enhanced by a beautiful pond and mature trees.

A broad staircase rises to the upper floors. The first floor offers four spacious and bright bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite bathrooms. The second floor provides five additional bedrooms, allowing substantial accommodation for family living or guest reception.

The estate also includes the original outbuildings, which retain characteristic architectural and sculptural features of the 19th century, along with an elegant historic entrance gate that frames the approach to the château.

The property requires extensive renovation throughout, offering the opportunity to restore this distinguished residence to its former splendour while adapting it to modern use. With its scale, setting and accessibility, the château presents exceptional potential for a prestigious family home, boutique hospitality venture or event venue in one of Brittany’s most accessible locations.
