castle for sale Rochefort, France

In the heart of an Oléron village, this 19th‑century colonial‑style château, inspired by the architecture of Mauritius, unfolds its full elegance across nearly 1,800 m² of living space, including all its outbuildings. The residence features twelve bedrooms, magnificent reception rooms with generous volumes, and a fully equipped professional kitchen fitted with top‑of‑the‑range appliances. Its outbuildings offer multiple possibilities of use, enhancing the versatility of the estate. The major asset lies in its grounds of approximately 1.3 hectares, entirely buildable — a rare opportunity for development, whether for residential, hospitality, or cultural projects. An exceptional property, combining architectural charm, a central location, and unique potential.
