The nearest village Combourg, one of the cradles of Romanticism, is renowned for its rich historical heritage. It was the birthplace of the writer François-René de Chateaubriand. It is famous for its medieval château, an emblematic monument surrounded by lush parkland, offering panoramic views over the lake. The old town, with its cobbled streets and half-timbered houses, reflects traditional Breton architecture. Today, the town offers a full range of services, including shops, schools, collège and lycée. It also hosts a traditional weekly market.
The major tourist sites of Saint-Malo, Dinan, Dinard, Cancal and Mont-Saint-Michel can all be reached in 30 to 40 minutes. This makes it an exceptional property in which to create a family home, or to use as a high-quality venue for family or corporate events. The current château was built in two stages on the foundations of a primitive manor dating from at least the 15th century. The old part is a main building dating from the first quarter of the 18th century. It is built of granite and rubble and covered in slate. At the 19th century, the old part was doubled to the north. This original ensemble gives the site its interesting dual personality. The chapel at the far end of the park also dates from the early 18th century. The layout of the various buildings on the property makes it easy to divide up all these spaces. This makes it possible to envisage the life of a large family, while retaining the privacy of each individual. Seasonal rental of the various houses and the organisation of events are also an option.
