Renovated 5-Bed Maison De Maître with Heated Pool, Walk to Shops and Station, 20 Minutes from Nantes

Property Description

Summary
A substantial and fully renovated late-19th-century Maison de Maître offering approximately 250 m² of living space, five bedrooms, a heated swimming pool and useful outbuildings, all within walking distance of shops, schools, services and the railway station.

For buyers looking for the character and generous proportions of an older French home without the isolation of a rural property, this house offers a particularly appealing combination of space, comfort and everyday convenience.

The property stands in the centre of the lively town of Sainte-Pazanne, approximately 20 minutes from Nantes and Nantes Atlantique Airport and around 25 minutes from the Atlantic coast.

Arranged over three floors, the house has been carefully renovated and is ready to move into. It combines period character with modern comforts including gas-fired central heating, underfloor heating, double glazing, fibre-optic broadband and mains drainage.

The house is attached on one side only. Its private rear garden, terraces and swimming pool are not overlooked.

Location
The property is located in the heart of Sainte-Pazanne, a well-served town in the Loire-Atlantique department of western France.

One of the greatest advantages of the house is the ability to manage everyday life without always relying on a car. A wide range of shops, schools, services and leisure facilities are within walking distance or just a few minutes from the property.

Nearby amenities include:

Traditional bakery
Butcher
Supermarket
Newsagent and tobacconist
Local fruit and vegetable producer
Theatre
Primary schools
Secondary school
Public swimming pool
Railway station
Local shops and everyday services

The railway station provides regular regional connections towards Nantes and the popular Atlantic seaside town of Pornic.

Sainte-Pazanne offers a genuine year-round community rather than a purely seasonal holiday location, making the house equally suitable as a permanent family home or a spacious second residence.

Access
Approximate travelling times by car:

Nantes: 20 minutes
Nantes Atlantique Airport: 20 minutes
Atlantic coast and beaches: 25 minutes

The railway station is within walking distance and provides connections towards Nantes and Pornic.

The property therefore offers straightforward access for international owners, visiting family and friends, commuters and buyers wishing to enjoy both city life and the Atlantic coast.
