iad France - Gilles Billaud offers you: You are part of the most prominent businesses in the Vendée department. Whether you are the owner or tenant of your headquarters, you acknowledge that it is soulless, and you suspect your employees lack enthusiasm for going there. Imagine relocating it, not to another department with the risk of losing your best talents, but nearby, to a simply idyllic location. A castle. Nothing less than that. This castle exists. It was built in the mid-19th century in the purest neo-classical style of Napoleon III's favorite architect, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc: the Château de Puybelliard, located in the municipality of Chantonnay. Admire its height, turrets, slate roof, and elegant shape in the attached photograph. Covering nearly 900 m², it represents the unexpected workplace for a workforce of thirty to fifty employees distributed in open space across its ten finely decorated rooms, spread over two floors, with a ceiling height of 4 meters. On the ground floor, two meeting rooms, one for large events and the other for smaller group meetings, will foster group think and collective emulation among your collaborators. A dining room featuring original paneling, previously used for a gourmet restaurant, will host them at lunchtime. A provider of your choice will prepare delicious meals for them in the kitchen, which is professionally equipped for this catering function. After lunch, your employees will gather in the adjacent bar, where, while having coffee, they can prepare to return to their workstations. Those who still have time can stroll in the park or even swim in the castle's pool during the lunch break in the summer. What better way to maintain a loyal and motivated workforce and avoid the inconveniences of turnover? Your products will be stored, as you wish, on the third floor, in the cellar, or in the two former stables, one of which is built of stone and particularly elegant. Transporters can access the entrance located on the departmental road to drop off or pick up your goods. The gardener and maids will reside in two adjoining cottages, ensuring an impeccable aesthetic for the park and impeccable cleanliness inside the castle, likely to dazzle clients, partners, or investors. Your brand, announced on the main gate on Rue des Dames, will be displayed at the roundabout inside the property, in front of the castle. You might think this is an oversized project? We do not need to remind you that acquiring a tangible asset opens a depreciation period of at least ten years*: we let you imagine the considerable corporate tax savings that would follow. And if your company generates during each financial year a result of one-tenth of the price of this castle, you will somehow have reimbursed it by the end of the depreciation period, by not paying the corresponding tax amount. We also do not need to remind you that any work you undertake in the castle or its annexes to embellish it or make it more functional would also be deductible from corporate tax. This magnificent castle awaits you, for a price of 1.1 million euros. (*) Tax modifiable period depending on the nature of the equipment concerned. Agency fees are the responsibility of the seller. A valid ID will be requested during the visit, in accordance with Article L.561-5 of the Monetary and Financial Code.

It enjoys excellent road connections, being conveniently situated midway between Rennes and Angers. Paris is 340 km away. Pouancé has a rich historical past, centred around its 13th-century castle. It originally grew up around the village of Saint Aubin. A hotly contested area between the Franks and the Bretons, Pepin the Great created the first march of Brittany to contain the Breton invasions. The second march was created by Charles the Bald, which included Pouancé. This gave rise to the first seigneury. A feudal motte was then created and the Middle Ages saw the town develop with its renowned forges and imposing fortress. The town is a real horse-riding centre, with the Centre d'Entrainement de Galop de l'Ouest (CERGO). Pouancé and the surrounding area boasts a wide range of quality restaurants and accommodation. Originally built in 1840 as a villa, the château was enlarged in 1900 with the addition of two wings, giving the property its present château-like appearance.

A Neo-Gothic chateau, listed as a Historical Monument & sold furnished, with its outbuildings & grounds, on nearly 15 ha, 15 km from Le Mans. Edified on the slope of a hill, Le Mans extends to the north of the property, past the woods, while behind tall pillars, the property is accessible via a tarmac driveway bordered by tall trees and flanked by an entrance pavilion, which houses the caretaker’s residence. Advancing through the landscaped grounds provides views, on one side, of the chateau’s symmetrical northern façade, whereas, arriving at the top of the hill, several outbuildings constructed in the 19th century can be seen set back from the chateau. They specifically include the orangery, today converted into a guesthouse, which faces the chateau’s southern façade on the other side of the courtyard, while, to the west, at a distance from the buildings -- on the site of the rose garden and its pools as shown in Edouard André's original plans -- a swimming pool has been added. As for the grassy grounds, they lead to a pond below, which reflects the tall trees’ foliage, whereas, following on from there, the walls of the former vegetable garden, where a tennis court has been created, close the property off from the outside. The chateau, listed as a regional Historical Monument, was edified in 1844 in a Neo-Gothic style, while its plaster-coated exteriors, mostly symmetrical and rather distinct to the north and south, are topped with pedimented dormers decorated with moulded stone and, specifically, coats of arms. With slate roofs, punctuated with finials, the chateau's interiors feature 18th-century inspired décor, which is, in turn, supplemented with Art Deco details. In addition, the grounds, designed in 1877, are also listed as a national Historical Monument, whereas their landscaped composition, emblematic of the passion for botany in the 19th century, is the result of the close collaboration between an industrialist from Sarthe and Edouard André, an internationally renowned landscape architect, who designed Paris’s Buttes-Chaumont Park.

Exclusive listing - “A quasi-royal château” - The finest and most outstanding 18th-century château in Anjou 300 hectares - Private racecourse -17th–18th century architecture - Magnificent park designed by Edouard André - Sumptuous 18th-century interior decoration featuring marble and wood paneling - Private racecourse - Listed historic monument - 300 km from Paris, Angers, Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire. Set within 300 hectares, this property of royal appearance, owned in the 19th century by descendants of the English royal family, stands as one of the most brilliant and sumptuous historic estates in western France, both for its classical 17th- and 18th-century architecture, its park designed by the great landscape architect Edouard André (notably responsible for the Monte Carlo park), and its interior decoration marked by superb 18th-century woodwork, a grand gallery, and a sumptuous marble salon; all overlooking, with a magnificent view, a rare private racecourse still in operation. The majestic private avenue, over one kilometer long and lined with century-old plane trees, winds through the park, offering superb vistas, and leads to a grand perspective revealing the most beautiful, brilliant, and elegant 18th-century château in Anjou, after passing through classical gardens of topiary, pools, and fountains. This property, described as “quasi-royal,” is clearly inspired by the Palace of Versailles: three grand approach perspectives, a U-shaped courtyard around a 17th-century building begun in 1635 and expanded in the 18th century with two lateral wings of outbuildings opening onto inner courtyards, and an east–west orientation capturing sunlight throughout the day. Beyond the gate and the ha-has, the château's elegant courtyard is overlooked by a statue of Minerva symbolizing peace. A series of French windows leads into a sumptuous 24-meter-long through gallery, adorned with monumental columns, cabochon flooring, flooded with light, and opening onto the garden through eight French windows with a magnificent axial view. On the park side, a grand and elegant double staircase leads to the first floor. At one end of the gallery, a majestic staircase with a beautiful, airy flight of stone steps and wrought-iron railing leads to the upper floor. Behind it lies a wood-paneled library with cabochon flooring, opening onto the garden at ground level. A through chapel, accessible from both inside and outside, features a superb main altar with a large carved wooden altarpiece with pilasters, Corinthian capitals, twisted columns with vine scrolls, and three paintings: The Flight into Egypt, The Adoration of the Magi, and The Visitation, along with a crucifix. Painted and armorial stained glass from the 16th century depict a knight and Saint James. At the other end of the gallery, a fine 18th-century wood-paneled salon with a marble fireplace opens onto the garden, the dining room, and the grand marble salon. The marble salon, directly inspired by the Salon of War and Salon of Peace at Versailles, occupies a neoclassical pavilion built specifically in 1780. With 6-meter ceilings and 8.4 meters beneath the dome, flooded with light from six large French windows, this 80 m² salon features sumptuous 18th-century decoration in French marble, mirrors, pilasters with Ionic capitals, medallions, a marble fireplace with gilded bronze and Italian micro-mosaics, marble mosaic flooring, and 18th-century Italian marble marquetry panels. Two terracotta overdoor panels bear inscriptions reflecting Enlightenment ideals. Beneath a monumental domed ceiling with trellis decoration and a balustraded gallery, its dual east and south exposure offers a splendid dominant view of the racecourse. It is one of the most exceptional 18th-century private interiors in France. A sumptuous neoclassical rotunda built in 1905 houses the grand dining room, adorned with superb natural oak 18th-century wood paneling. With 5.5-meter ceilings and 70 m² of space, it opens through three French windows onto the south terrace, decorated with a beautiful Italian pergola. Also on the ground floor: a smaller wood-paneled dining room, a vast theatrical staircase hall with wrought-iron railing, and a refined small salon with a marble fireplace.

Ref 4891: A beautiful country house and its outbuildings, set in over 5 hectares of grounds, for sale in Loire-Atlantique. Le Pellerin is one of those rare villages where you can enjoy both the proximity of Nantes and a genuine village life. Situated on the south bank of the Loire, on the edge of the Pays de Retz, the village offers a peaceful setting, with life shaped by the river. The heart of the village, built on the hillside, overlooks the Loire. From the quays, the view stretches far across the waters of the Loire, the islands and the ever-changing landscapes of the estuary. The old mansions of merchants and shipowners are a reminder of the village’s rich maritime past. Daily life here is gentle. Residents enjoy walks along the quays, the hiking trails that criss-cross the Loire meadows, the cycle paths and the famous Canal de la Martinière. This historic canal is now a favourite spot for walking, cycling, fishing, birdwatching and water sports. One of Le Pellerin’s symbols is its ferry across the Loire. More than just a means of transport, it is part of the local identity. Free and accessible to pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, it connects Le Pellerin to Couëron. The crossing offers a moment of tranquillity: a few minutes gliding along the water, taking in the estuary landscapes, the shifting light and the ebb and flow of the tides.

Ref 4884: Château and outbuildings for sale in Maine-et-Loire In the heart of the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Nature Park and just a few minutes from Saumur stands this charming château, rebuilt in 1858 and situated at the centre of its grounds. Nestled between woodland and renowned vineyards, it is set in a region steeped in history, graced by the Royal River, where a string of France’s most beautiful châteaux can be found. Saumur, famous for its royal château, the Cadre Noir, and its cave cellars, enjoys a special appeal linked to the relaxed way of life characteristic of Anjou and Touraine, and the advantage of a town offering a full range of shops, schools, an SNCF railway station and easy access to the motorway. The surrounding countryside stretches across plains, forests and hillsides, allowing this property to boast a very peaceful setting whilst remaining easily accessible and close to all amenities. With its typical Loire Valley architecture, epitomised by the use of tuffeau stone, this charming château captivates with its imposing height. It features a strictly symmetrical layout comprising a central block and two side wings, flanked by four elegant square turrets. Enlivened by a series of projections, the elevation rising from a semi-underground basement, and the independent pavilion-style roofs, it gives the impression of a grand château whilst remaining a perfectly reasonable, family-sized property. On the ground floor: a bright entrance hall (25 sqm) leads to a large living room (45 sqm) with exposed beams and a grey marble fireplace, offering views in three directions, as well as two rooms in the wings used as a spare bedroom and a study (9 sqm each), a dining room mirroring the layout of the living room, with a tuffeau stone fireplace opening onto the service staircase and a small kitchen (10 sqm), a library (14 sqm) with a black marble fireplace, and the main staircase. On the first floor: 4 bedrooms and a landing, as well as 2 bathrooms and a shower room. On the second floor: an attic with terracotta floor tiles, where the servants’ quarters were located. In the basement: a former kitchen with terracotta floor tiles, a vegetable store and a fireplace, various utility rooms or pantries, and a shower room. The outbuildings include: A/ A self-contained studio flat A former outbuilding, 15 metres long by 2.5 metres wide, which was probably once a kennel, has been converted into a studio with a shower room and a kitchenette at the far end of the living area. It has its own septic tank. B/ A small outbuilding A charming little outbuilding of a few square metres, covered with a hipped roof, is also situated on the edge of the grounds, much like the winegrowers’ shelters found in the region. C/ Two old outbuildings Two old outbuildings on either side of the avenue are currently in a state of ruin; they can be made out beneath the overgrown vegetation. It would be worth considering preserving at least one of them, by reducing its size and roofing it over to retain a good outbuilding. The wooded park extends all around the château, covering a total area of 3 hectares, 27 ares and 4 centiares. It is planted with tall trees, notably a row of lime trees. There are also a few grassy areas that could accommodate herbivores.

It is bordered by the Lion d’Angers racecourse, which hosts several internationally recognised equestrian events each year. Quiet yet not isolated, the property captivates with both the purity of its classical style and the unobstructed views offered by the surrounding countryside. The setting is ideal for family life as well as for a refined country residence. The château’s architecture, characterised by great simplicity, reflects the style of the fine mansions of the Anjou region: a symmetrical layout, tall windows and well-balanced proportions. The eye is drawn here more to the overall harmony than to decorative elements, lending the whole building a great deal of distinction. Inspired by the Loire Valley style, it was built in local stone and tuffeau limestone to a four-storey plan with a slate roof and four bays arranged around a slightly projecting central bay, thanks to the monumental entrance portal, framed by simple pilasters supporting a moulded entablature with dentils. The particularly elegant semi-circular door is surmounted by a fan-shaped transom window that lends the whole structure a sense of delicacy and verticality. Also of note is the presence, as on the south side, of a pretty double-curved staircase on the north side. These interior spaces cover an area of approximately 400 sqm and are laid out as follows: On the raised ground floor: an entrance hall, from which a remarkable balustrade staircase rises, provides access to a series of adjoining rooms—the reception room, music room, study, large sitting room and dining room—and to a hallway leading to a kitchen and a small sitting room. These rooms are adorned with attractive decorative features, marble fireplaces, beautiful antique parquet flooring, wooden picture rails and moulded ceilings. On the first floor: a landing leads to a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom on one side, and to a gallery leading to three bedrooms, a dressing room and two bathrooms. Just like on the ground floor, you can see antique parquet flooring, attractive decorative features, marble fireplaces, wooden picture rails and ornate ceilings. On the second floor: a corridor leads to former staff bedrooms in the attic. On the basement: former service rooms used for storage and as a boiler room. Outbuildings : The property comprises the following outbuildings: 1/ A former U-shaped stable building enclosing a square courtyard to the east, with a walled rear courtyard to the west, built of local stone and tuffeau with a slate roof (recently re-roofed). It comprises several rooms used for storage, workshops and a garage, as well as two functional dwellings: The annexe: on the ground floor, a living room with a kitchen area and a staircase leading to the upper floor, plus a toilet. On the first floor, three bedrooms, a shower room and a toilet. Features include original terracotta floor tiles, simple window frames and double glazing, heating via a wood-burning insert and electric convector heaters, hot water supplied by an electric boiler, and a private sewage system in need of upgrading. The caretaker’s accommodation: on the ground floor, entrance hall with staircase leading to the upper floor, toilet, kitchen and bedroom on the same level. On the first floor, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. Features single window frames and double glazing, heating via a wood-burning stove, hot water supplied by an electric boiler, private sewage system in need of updating. 2/ Other outbuildings: sheepfold, adjoining stable, kennel and woodshed in need of renovation. A large and magnificent 16 acres of English-style parkland, featuring beautiful trees dating back several centuries (cedars, redwoods, oaks, chestnut trees, sweet chestnuts, camellias, etc.), a charming little pond and a large walled vegetable garden. There is a well on the property. One immediately feels a sense of tranquillity and harmony, as if the place naturally invites you to slow down, contemplate and savour an environment that has remained unspoilt.

Ref 4864: Stunning château and outbuildings for sale in the Vendée The château is situated in the Vendée bocage, in the eastern part of the department, in a hilly region renowned for its unspoilt rural landscapes, featuring hedgerows, meadows and small woods. It occupies a strategic location, at the junction of the Vendée, Maine-et-Loire and Deux-Sèvres departments. The flagship tourist attraction of Puy du Fou, which attracts over 4 million visitors a year, is less than 20 kilometres away. This part of the Vendée’s ‘haut-bocage’ has seen growing interest in its heritage over the past twenty years, thanks in particular to the cultural tourism generated by Puy du Fou and the search for character properties offering accommodation potential. A typical small town is located approximately 2 kilometres away. This town has a surprisingly dense commercial network for a municipality of around 5,500 inhabitants. The property is in a quiet location with no immediate neighbours. The approach to the estate is a sight to behold. Once you pass through a beautiful wrought-iron gate, guarded by a statue, the path winds its way between rhododendron beds and majestic, centuries-old trees. At the top of the hill, you reach the château. Set on a hilltop, it displays perfect neo-medieval symmetry. It is organised around a rectangular main building flanked by four hexagonal towers at the corners. The fortress-like effect is now accentuated by the lower roofs, which were once high, slate-covered hipped roofs. Inside, the château was renovated some thirty years ago. Imposing neo-Gothic panelling in light oak has been fitted throughout the rooms. From the large windows, there are unobstructed views of the grounds, the ponds and the surrounding countryside. The rooms are spacious and very light. The ground floor opens onto a spacious, double-height entrance hall, showcasing an elegant staircase in light wood. This level comprises a living room with a fireplace, a dining room also featuring a fireplace, a library with a fireplace, as well as a kitchen and its utility room. Each of the towers houses a characterful room, offering additional spaces full of charm. This level also features a guest toilet, an additional room that can be fitted out as required, and the start of a second staircase leading to the upper floors. On the first floor, a spacious landing running the length of the floor, featuring a sitting room, a fireplace and remarkable stained-glass windows, leads to all the rooms. This level comprises a spacious bedroom with its own bathroom and toilet, a second large bedroom with a fireplace and its own bathroom, as well as a very large bedroom which also has its own bathroom and toilet. It also features a more intimate bedroom with its own shower room and toilet, another bedroom with a fireplace, a separate toilet, and a room on a half-level, accessible via the second staircase, which serves as a cloakroom and storage area for staff. The second floor comprises a spacious open-plan area that can be fitted out to suit the needs and plans of its future occupants. Featuring a concrete slab floor, high ceilings beneath a steel roof structure and a slate roof, this space offers particularly attractive potential for development. A full basement, accessible from both inside and outside, completes the property. The property features numerous outbuildings, including seven self-contained dwellings. A/ 5 self-contained dwellings (former stables) To the right of the château stands a long building whose architecture blends perfectly with that of the main house. Formerly stables, with a large entrance porch running through them, this complex now comprises five apartments. Each comprises a kitchen, a living room, a toilet, two or three bedrooms, and one or more bathrooms or shower rooms. Renovation work is required, particularly regarding the door and window frames. At the far end of the building, a smaller dwelling offers interesting potential for restoration and requires a complete refurbishment. B/ A detached house of approximately 81 m² completes this complex (property 6). C/ An elegant 19th-century-style caretaker’s house, situated at the entrance to the property, benefits from a recently replaced roof and a modern drainage system (property 7). D/ A charming chapel, in good overall condition, retains a beautiful stone vault and distinctive stained-glass windows. Several other outbuildings enhance the estate: a utility room, a wash house, a greenhouse, a storage building and a covered courtyard. Set in the tranquillity of an estate spanning over 11 hectares, the park harmoniously unfolds a series of carefully composed landscape views. Within this unspoilt natural setting, wooded areas, vast meadows and wooded zones follow one another. The estate comprises around 1.5 hectares of woodland and nearly 9 hectares of open meadows, offering a sense of space and breathing room. The remarkable species of trees that dot the park bear witness to its history and character: majestic Lebanese cedars, sumptuous purple beeches, monkey puzzle trees… Two ponds enhance this natural setting, whilst a river runs through the property. There is also the option to purchase an additional property situated at the rear of the outbuildings, comprising various farm buildings in need of renovation, a residential house, land and a private driveway, covering a total area of 1 hectare, 61 ares and 32 centiares.

An elegant, 19th century chateau and its outbuildings in Vendee's lowland bocage countryside on the outskirts of La-Roche-sur-Yon. A central, 200 m long alleyway, lined with oak trees, crosses 10 hectares of fields before reaching the main entrance. This is guarded by a hunting lodge and tall metal gates. A perimeter wall encloses the property. The 3 hectares of parklands, gardens landscaped in 1893 and redesigned in 2002, are planted with several trees over a hundred years old, including sequoia, ash, oak and lime trees. They also have numerous camellia, azalea and boxwood bushes. Alleyways lead to the various outbuildings of the chateau, some of which have been so well renovated that they are able to accommodate up to 40 guests. The property’s two swimming pools, one heated indoor pool and one outdoor pool, make it possible to take relaxing dips from April through until October. An orangery is but an invitation to read and relax. On the sides and in front of the chateau are the old wash-house, the bread oven and the moat, all bearing witness to its history.
