Historic Watermill Estate with Private Lake and 8.25 Hectares
Historic former watermill, set within 8.25 hectares of private grounds in a peaceful and secluded setting near Châteaubriant.
Dating back to 1626 and recorded on the historic Cassini maps, the property combines architectural heritage with modern comforts, surrounded by woodland and overlooking a picturesque lake of approximately 4 hectares.
Offering complete privacy with no overlooking neighbours, the estate includes pastureland with equestrian potential, protected wildlife areas and several outbuildings.
The principal residence, whose façade dates from 1883, provides approximately 240 m² of living accommodation over three floors. Extensively renovated between 1997 and 2003, with further improvements in 2025, the house is presented in excellent condition.
The ground floor comprises a spacious entrance and dining hall, a separate drawing room sharing a double-sided fireplace, and a fitted kitchen with pantry and glazed views of the original mill machinery. A large secondary kitchen and utility room, with rear vehicle access, and a WC with shower complete this level.
The first floor offers three double bedrooms, including two with en-suite facilities. One bedroom benefits from a private sauna, while large glazed doors provide access to a terrace overlooking the lake.
The second floor accommodates the principal bedroom suite, with dressing area, fitted storage, en-suite shower room and access to a private terrace enjoying elevated lake views.
The estate also benefits from a regulated lake with drainage rights, a private well supplying the residence, an outbuilding with potential for guest accommodation and a separate building housing a traditional working bread oven, which could serve as a summer kitchen.
Located just 3 km from Saint-Aubin-des-Châteaux and approximately 10 minutes from Châteaubriant, the property enjoys convenient access to local amenities. Nantes and Rennes, including their airports, are both approximately one hour away.
A rare opportunity to acquire a historic country estate offering privacy, extensive grounds and an exceptional natural setting.
