Vertou, Pays de la Loire 44120

An elegant, neo-Gothic inspired residence, in 2 hectares of grounds, near to Nantes, overlooking the River Svre. On the left bank of the River Svre, the estate spreads over 2 uninterrupted hectares. After the entrance gate, a winding drive passes below the dense foliage of ancient oak trees. As it does, it passes in front of a 36-m annex building used as a garage, then an enclosed, approximately 640-m orchard overlooked by an around 35-m Anjou style greenhouse with most of its glass panes intact. The drive finishes in a courtyard where the residence stands, facing southwest. In its current form, it is thought to date back to the late 19th century, between 1870 and 1890. It boasts approximately 550 m of living space, spread throughout a basement covering the whole surface of the building, a raised ground floor, a first floor and a converted attic.The entirely fenced grounds gently slope down towards the river. Tall hundred-year-old trees are dotted around the grounds and a path leads down to the riverbanks below.
