Located just minutes from the Atlantic beaches and on the doorstep of La Rochelle, a vibrant, historic city, this exceptional 17th-century estate perfectly blends authenticity with modern comfort.

Behind a large wooden gate lies the main building, arranged around a private inner courtyard—a peaceful haven hidden from view. From the moment you enter, natural light floods the space, highlighting the impressive volumes. One side offers soaring cathedral-like ceilings, while the other exudes intimacy and warmth through carefully chosen materials that balance historic charm with modern elegance. Offering approximately 530 m² (5,700 sq ft) of living space, the property includes multiple bright living areas, a high-end kitchen, a home cinema, a study, 7 bedrooms, and 6 bathrooms. A stunning vaulted cellar, a three-car garage, and 400 m² (4,300 sq ft) of outbuildings with great potential complete the ensemble. Set within a beautifully landscaped park and completely secluded, the estate also features a magnificent 15x7 meter swimming pool—ideal for peaceful relaxation. The beaches are easily reached on foot or by bike, and La Rochelle, with its picturesque harbor, markets, restaurants, and TGV connections, is only a short drive away. A rare gem between land and sea, where every detail has been carefully considered to combine luxury, authenticity, and lifestyle. EXCEPTIONAL.

Known for its gentle way of life, Charente-Maritime is one of France’s leading tourist destination. Bordered by more than 400km of coastline, Charente-Maritime is also well known for its many beaches, ports, seaside resorts, the historical port of La Rochelle and its surrounding islands: the Ile de Ré, the Ile d’Aix or the Ile d’Oléron.
It is also a huge playground, where the more (or less) sporty nature lovers will find water activities but also many bike tours to discover multiple landscapes.
Charente-Maritime is also a territory known for its gastronomy combining land and sea. The pleasure of tasting oysters from the Marennes basin on the Ile d’Oléron but also mussels, good potatoes from the Ile de Ré or salicornes, marsh plants. All this of course with cognac, or pineau de Charente, known worldwide.
