Folie Nantaise 18th century – Country Estate at the gateway to Nantes

Genius Loci
Built in the second half of the 18th century, this elegant Folie Nantaise captures the essence of the sobriety and harmony of classical architecture. Its symmetrical composition, perfectly balanced proportions and its placement at the heart of a nearly one-hectare parkland reflect the refined art de vivre characteristic of a Country Estate during the Age of Enlightenment.
With dual South-East / North-West exposure, the property enjoys unspoilt views over its 1.3-hectare parkland. With approximately 270 sq.m. of living space (excluding the attic), the residence captivates with its architectural purity, its enfilade reception rooms, its black marble Louis the 15th fireplaces, and its granite staircase. A rare offering in the greater Nantes region.


A distinctive Art of Living
THE ART WITHIN
Ground Floor: The entrance hall, featuring the principal staircase, includes guest lavatories. To one side, the dining room leads into the drawing room: to the other, the kitchen. Two flanking wings extending from the main body of the house provide additional comfort, including a boiler room, a rustic reception room, and former kitchen.
First Floor: A spacious corridor runs the full length of the house, serving four bedrooms and a study, along with a bathroom and a shower room. The original wood flooring and fireplaces have been carefully preserved. Rooms within the lateral wings may also be converted at this level.
Second Floor: The attic level offers a well-preserved 18th-century roof structure and original terracotta tiles, suitable for storage or potential future adaptation.
THE ART OF GARDENS
The residence stands at the heart of a surrounding parkland, framed by mature trees and bordered by a charming pond. A substantial 20th-century outbuilding, arranged over two floors of approximately 200 sq.m. each, further enhances the property and includes, among other features, sanitary facilities. A former wash-house sits beside the pond.
