This region is one of the most picturesque in the Vendée. This area of hill ranges is also an important region for livestock farming, forestry (with many chestnut groves) and mixed farming. The region's economy is very dynamic, with an industrial fabric and a strong entrepreneurial culture. It's also a land with a strong attachment to its history, values and traditions.

BARNES Properties & Châteaux offers for sale, exclusively, this authentic castle, nestled in the heart of Vendée, between Les Herbiers and Pouzauges. Registered on the Additional Inventory of Historical Monuments, this heritage complex is undoubtedly among the most remarkable sites in the region, due to its history, its size, the quality of its architecture, and especially its exceptional authenticity. Built in a dominant position, around two courtyards, the ensemble unfolds within a domain of approximately 18 hectares in one piece, in a preserved environment, with breathtaking views of the bocage. From the road, severe circular-shaped gates announce the entrance to the property. A long driveway lined with walnut trees leads to the entrance porches, whose origins date back to the 15th century, likely altered in the 17th century. Crossing these porches leads us into a first courtyard where various buildings gradually reveal themselves: outbuildings, the main residence, and more. The main residence, dating from the 17th century, is supported against the back of the castle. From this courtyard, the rear façade of the manor appears austere, almost mysterious, only pierced by two small dormers and a postern. A second passage leads to the second courtyard, the true historical heart of the property. Here, the manor house is fully revealed, accompanied by new outbuildings also dating from the 15th century. The façade of the manor presents a particularly remarkable composition. In its center rises a truncated hexagonal tower, flanked by a small round tower. To its left, the window is typical of the 15th century. To the right, adjoining the manor, is the chapel, a simple single-story building, pierced on the courtyard side by a door and a pointed-arched stained glass window. But it is undoubtedly the entrance door of the tower that constitutes one of the most interesting elements of the façade. Its sculpted arch is surmounted by a pointed finial while, in the space between the accolade and the lintel, two coats of arms appear, one of which may bear the arms of the family of Vivonne. Inside the tower, a magnificent spiral staircase serves the different levels. Illuminated by a window with window seats, it culminates in a remarkable wooden balustrade from the 18th century and leads, in particular, to the bedroom attributed to the famous knight of Landreau, the last occupant of the house. On each level, two main rooms and two secondary rooms have retained exceptional authenticity. Old tiles, fireplaces, beams, and original volumes compose a decor of rare coherence. Here, nothing or almost nothing has been distorted. This is precisely what gives this residence its unique character. To the north, the castle communicates on the ground floor with the main residence. This part, having undergone various transformations over time, particularly related to its use as the farmer's residence, presents a less heritage character but offers, on the other hand, particularly interesting additional living potential, allowing various projects to be considered. Under the building, a staircase leads to a vaulted underground room. But it is perhaps even deeper that the most fascinating testimony of the history of the place is found: a perfectly preserved refuge tunnel, undoubtedly over a thousand years old and very much older than the castle walls, none of which seem to date back beyond the 15th century. The property thus reveals itself as a true open-air history book and appeals to those who seek much more than a mere residence: to those who wish to acquire a place, a history, an atmosphere, and a heritage to preserve and transmit. An extraordinary family residence, a cultural or tourist project: the possibilities are multiple and could be envisaged in respect of the soul and history of this exceptional site. It is now up to you to write the next chapter of its story.This description has been automatically translated from French.
