Beautiful 19th-Century Château in the Heart of the Vendée
Nestled in absolute tranquillity within 140 acres of private estate, this elegant 19th-century château offers rare seclusion and timeless grandeur.
Commissioned between 1823 and 1830 by a noble family on ancestral land, the château is a stunning example of neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance architecture. Its graceful facades are framed by white stone quoins, crowned with steep slate roofs and brick chimneys. A tower rises from the corner, adding a romantic silhouette to the classically proportioned rectangular plan.
Spanning approx. 670 m² across three levels (plus a full basement), the interior has been thoughtfully renovated with exceptional attention to detail. Period features have been beautifully preserved: oak parquet flooring, elaborate mouldings, rose windows, wood panelling, and an exquisite ashlar staircase with marble treads all evoke the château’s rich heritage.
Ground Floor
A grand entrance hall welcomes you with its sweeping stone staircase. The light-filled reception rooms—the sitting room and dining room—boast high ceilings and wide windows framing views of the countryside. A large fitted kitchen, utility room, WC, a study, and a secondary entrance complete the level.
First Floor
The landing opens onto a spacious principal bedroom with dressing room and bathroom, a suite in the tower with en-suite, and a third en-suite bedroom with dressing area. Two additional offices offer flexibility for work or creative pursuits.
Second Floor
This floor offers two more en-suite bedrooms with dressing rooms, two further bedrooms sharing a bathroom, and a study nestled in the tower. There's also access to attic space.
Basement
Full-sized and ripe for conversion to suit your needs—be it wine cellar, wellness area, or games room.
Outbuildings & Guest Accommodation
Set away from the main house with independent access, the estate includes:
A handsome 300+ m² stone outbuilding (garage, stables, tack room) with power and full first floor—awaiting renovation.
Three separate houses: two already renovated (88 m² and 98 m²) and ready for connection, and a third of 110 m² needing full renovation.
The Grounds
The parkland is nothing short of spectacular. Ancient oaks and towering cedars grace the lawns, while woodland paths wind toward a stream and tranquil pond. Meadows roll across the landscape—ideal for equestrian use or rewilding. The setting is utterly private, with no close neighbours, creating a sense of luxury in silence and space.
A rare and distinguished property offering a truly exceptional lifestyle—whether as a private residence, grand family retreat, or hospitality venture.
