18th Century Château – 42 Hectares – Vendée, France.
Set within the rolling landscapes of the Haut Bocage Vendéen, between Nantes, La Roche-sur-Yon and Cholet, this remarkable 18th-century château emerges from the heart of a beautifully preserved 42-hectare estate. Listed as a Historic Monument, the property embodies the elegance of French heritage living while enjoying close proximity to the international connections of Nantes Airport, just thirty minutes away.
Discreetly hidden behind a long wrought-iron gate, the château is approached through an impressive entrance leading to a formal courtyard framed by the graceful symmetry of the main residence and its flanking pavilions. The classical façade, built in granite and punctuated by seven tall windows, is crowned by an elegant slate roof adorned with dormers. A striking horseshoe staircase rises to the entrance terrace, offering a sense of arrival worthy of a grand historic residence.

A Residence of Character and Elegance
Offering approximately 900 square metres of living space, the château unfolds across four levels including cellars, reception floors and vast attic spaces.
Inside, the interiors reveal generous volumes and an exceptional collection of period architectural features. Herringbone parquet floors with inlaid marquetry, finely carved wood panelling, ornate mouldings and original fireplaces create an atmosphere of timeless refinement.
The ground floor is organised around an impressive entrance hall leading to the principal reception rooms:
• a grand reception salon of generous proportions
• an elegant library salon with mezzanine, entirely panelled in wood
• a long gallery leading to several study rooms and offices
• a formal dining room and kitchen, located within one of the side pavilions
Upstairs, seven bedrooms each benefit from their own bathroom or shower room, offering comfort and privacy within this historic setting. Additional rooms provide flexible space for offices or private living areas.

Remarkable Outbuildings
The estate includes an outstanding ensemble of historic outbuildings that significantly enhance the property’s potential.
Among them:
• La Bergerie, a beautifully renovated independent residence of approximately 200 m², offering several bedrooms and a heated swimming pool – ideal for guests or private accommodation.
• A 15th-century watchtower, recently restored and converted into a unique living space.
• A listed 15th-century chapel, adding a rare spiritual and architectural dimension to the estate.
• A courtyard of traditional outbuildings including barns, garages, reception areas, offices and independent accommodations.
• Additional service buildings including a large maintenance hangar.

A Private Natural Sanctuary
The 42-hectare estate, partially enclosed by historic stone walls, forms an exceptional natural sanctuary around the château.
The landscaped park is composed of ancient trees, sweeping lawns, wooded areas and elegant tree-lined avenues. Two romantic lakes reflect the silhouette of the château and host a tranquil wildlife habitat including swans, herons and waterfowl.
An old racecourse, a reminder of the estate’s historic equestrian heritage, completes this remarkable landscape.
In this peaceful setting, the only sounds are birdsong and the gentle presence of animals grazing quietly across the meadows.
