Property Description

Summary
Charming Modern 4-Bedroom Townhouse in Peaceful Orvault – Near Nantes, France
€350,000 (~$415,000 USD / approx. CHF 360,000 / approx. £315,000 – based on current exchange rates)

Built in 2016 to RT 2012 energy standards, this contemporary townhouse offers an eco-conscious and low-maintenance lifestyle. Solar panels provide hot water, while a landscaped green roof enhances comfort and naturally regulates temperature.

Ideally located in a quiet, tree-lined residential setting in the heart of Orvault’s charming village center (centre bourg), the home enjoys the peaceful Vallon des Garettes — where sheep graze nearby — and is within walking distance of the historic Château de la Tour. The lively village square, with cafés, shops, and its popular Sunday market, is just an 8-minute stroll away.

Offering approximately 100 m² (about 1,076 sq ft) of thoughtfully optimized total living space — designed for easy everyday living rather than oversized interiors — the home combines practicality with a warm, welcoming atmosphere:

• A light-filled open living space with fitted and equipped kitchen (total approx. 29 m²) opening directly onto the sunny south-facing garden — ideal for relaxed meals or entertaining
• Four comfortable bedrooms, including a ground-floor bedroom with its own WC and washbasin, already pre-plumbed for the future installation of a shower (i.e. an Italian-style walk-in) — offering excellent flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or evolving needs.
• A modern family bathroom and separate WC upstairs

Outside, the private garden (~50 m²) is designed for easy upkeep while offering a charming outdoor retreat. Two sunny terraces invite morning coffee or evening relaxation, and a practical garden shed provides additional storage. Two private parking spaces complete this easy-living package.

Energy efficiency is excellent (DPE rating B), ensuring low heating costs and year-round comfort — a valuable advantage for international buyers seeking sustainable living.

The neighborhood offers a rare balance between calm village life and easy access to the city: well-regarded schools, a media library, and a sports complex just 400 meters away, everyday shops within walking distance, and convenient public transport (buses 79 & 89). Nantes city center, Orvault Grand-Val shopping area, and the Esplanade du Cardo are all easily reached.

Imagine mornings filled with birdsong, peaceful walks in green surroundings, and vibrant weekend markets with fresh local produce. The Atlantic coast is also within easy reach: the nearest beach is about 43 minutes by car, while the renowned seaside resort of La Baule — famous for its 9 km sandy beach and elegant promenade — is only 51 minutes away. From there, explore charming coastal towns like Pornic, the Loire Valley vineyards, or take the TGV high-speed train to Paris.

This is more than just a property — it’s a smart, sustainable “townhouse,” combining central village living with modern comfort and a manageable garden.

Important note for international buyers: The advertised €350,000 price reflects the net seller price. In France, acquisition costs (“notary fees”) are typically paid by the buyer and usually represent around 7.5–8% for a modern existing property in Loire-Atlantique.

• Notary fees (~7.8%): approx. €27,300
• Total estimated investment: around €377,300 (~$447,000 USD / approx. CHF 388,000 / approx. £342,000)

Approximate value: around €3,500/m² (based on ~100 m² of living space).
