Italianate Château with Vineyards in Loire Atlantique

This French Renaissance château is listed for 3,500,000 with Jan-Erik Alderlieste of Barnes Propriétés & Chateaux.

The bucolic property consists of 187 acres of parkland, meadows, and vineyards, set in the countryside of Western France, south of Nantes. 

Built in the 19th century, the château is a part of a larger estate, with several original outbuildings forming a large enclosed open courtyard, known as a cour d'honneur.  This U-shaped classical design originates from the Roman theatre stage, and is often found in the great palaces and mansions of 17th-century Europe. 

The château is officially listed as a French historic monument, inscrits sur l’Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques (ISMH), featuring 5400 square feet of living space with 12 bedrooms and several large reception rooms.

A modern orangerie can be found on the property, used for special events and entertaining, in addition to a small-scale winery enterprise—for the production of your own house wine or launch of your boutique brand of Muscadet. 

The property is set in the heart of the Loire Atlantique, in a wine region known for its Muscadet, a bone-dry white wine that pairs well with seafood. Located just 40 minutes to Nantes Airport, and 1 hour to the Vendée coast.
