Decision time in Pays de la Loire

You’ve decided to invest in a second home, but you’re torn. The Nantes area has emerged the firm favourite, that part is clear in any case. Thankfully, because you still have a big decision to make. Two completely different properties have caught your eye. How to choose? On the one hand is the 12,916 sq ft château in Ancenis, at the heart of almost 45 acres of wooded parkland. And on the other there’s the 3,014 sq ft historic villa in La Baule. Life in the countryside, with the peace and quiet of the inland region. Or a popular and fashionable seaside resort. A property with extension possibilities thanks to its outbuildings and orangery that need restoration, or a villa with no work required? Le Chameau or Aigle boots? Barbour jacket or pea coat? Lord of the manor or seafarer? It’s up to you, but you know what they say, choosing means giving one up!
