About the Property

An exceptional 18th-century château set within a 42-hectare private estate, located between La Roche-sur-Yon and Nantes in the Haut Bocage region of the Vendée. This remarkable property, built in 1780, boasts nearly 900 m² of living space and is just an hour from the Vendée beaches. The estate is listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments, reflecting its historical significance and architectural refinement. The château's interior showcases generous proportions and abundant natural light, featuring herringbone parquet floors, carved panelling, period fireplaces, and elegant mouldings that exemplify the architectural elegance of the Age of Enlightenment. The reception areas flow seamlessly, comprising a large reception room, a library-sitting room with a mezzanine, a gallery leading to several offices, a dining room, and a kitchen situated in one of the side pavilions. The first floor accommodates seven bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room, ensuring comfort and privacy. Surrounding the château, the outbuildings enhance the estate’s potential. A recently renovated detached house, known as the Bergerie, features its own swimming pool, providing a charming residence for hosting family or guests. The estate is accessed via a grand entrance gate, leading to a main courtyard that highlights the château's classical architectural symmetry. The granite façade, adorned with tall windows and topped by an elegant slate roof, is complemented by a majestic horseshoe-shaped staircase. Notable features of the estate include a restored 15th-century watchtower, a listed chapel from the same century, and a courtyard of outbuildings comprising a barn, garages, reception areas, and self-contained accommodation. The grounds are a landscaped gem, featuring meadows, woods, and tree-lined avenues dotted with century-old trees. Two romantic ponds reflect the château's silhouette and are home to swans and herons, while a former racecourse recalls the estate’s equestrian past.
