Colleges and lycées are a 10-minute drive away. This part of the Vendée is particularly well known for its history and tourist attractions. The sea is around 90 km away. At the beginning of the 15th century, a fiefdom which depended on the lordship of Parthenay existed on the site of the current château. In 1860, a Justice of the Peace, Frédéric Naud, commissioned a château from the very fashionable architect Paul Joseph Guillerot, who had designed many châteaux in the Vendée. Mr Naud had become mayor of the Commune. The building was planned in an existing clearing, high up, with a beautiful view over the surrounding countryside. The entrance facade was soberly designed, while the other side, which had no door, was enlivened by the play of projections created by the small square pavilions. Around 1905, a veranda with a roof terrace accessible via a bedroom was added. Inside, a clever layout of glazed French windows around the entrance hall provides plenty of light and views of the lovely countryside outside. The château, which spans more than 300 sqm, has been partly renovated and is very light and airy. It has a serene atmosphere. This chateau is the ideal property for those who love the countryside. It's also the perfect place for a family or to welcome guests. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a study, a dining room (26 sqm), a lounge (30sqm), a kitchen (24sqm), a boiler room, a shower room with toilet and a conservatory awaiting renovation. A beautiful wooden staircase leads to the upper floors. Upstairs, the landing leads to 5 bedrooms, a bathroom and a toilet. One of the bedrooms has access to the roof terrace of the former greenhouse, from where there is a very pleasant view over the parklands. A large attic (100sqm) could be converted. There is also a partial cellar. The outbuildings include: New wooden stables, 5 boxes Shed (fodder storage) Greenhouse to restore Leanto to restore Cellar The parklands cover almost 17,30 acres, with no close neighbours.

Originally, it was a chateau consisting of three U-shaped buildings, whose date of construction is uncertain. Louis XIV gave the castle to one of his natural daughters, Louise de Maisonblanche. On the site of this castle, the present castle was rebuilt during the Second Empire, in stone and brick, with a slate roof and a floor area of approx. 1,000 m2. In the park, a decorative pond has been laid out from a diversion in the course of the river. The walled English park extends over 53 hectares, of which 40 hectares are classified. On the ground floor, the 15 rooms of the Chateau feature white oak panelled walls. The masterly entrance hall leads to three luxurious reception rooms, a dining room adorned with ecclectic fireplaces, a pantry and a kitchen. The second floor offers a library and four large 'royal' bedrooms with bathrooms, followed by three other classic bedrooms with bathrooms, and a study.

A 17th-century chateau listed as a historical monument with a large outbuilding and splendid grounds looking out at the Rhône valley in France’s Drôme department. The local village was once a fief of the Poitiers-Valentinois family. It became part of the Kingdom of France at the start of the 15th century. The village had a chateau before this one. That old chateau was known as the region’s most important fortification, but it was destroyed in the French Wars of Religion. That was when a new chateau was built just outside the village, along the side of a road linking the village to the nearest town, a short distance north of it. Its location was not chosen at random: a spring lies beyond the ditches and it once filled up the property’s ponds and brought its fountains to life. A vast earthen terrace of more than one hectare is edged with embankments and dry moats. Upon it stand two fine edifices built in the style of the Italian Late Renaissance. The chateau towers in the middle of this grassy terrace. Construction of the chateau began in 1591. The edifice continued to be built during the second half of the 17th century. It is a large square-shaped structure with corner towers and a central inner courtyard. It has three levels and a floor area of over 1,300m². In front of the chateau, at the property’s entrance, stands an edifice that was built at the end of the 17th century. It is about 60 metres long and edges a road that runs along the other side of the moat. This structure is made up of a gatehouse flanked with two wings. This gatehouse controls access to the property. The whole building offers a floor area of around 450m². Together, the chateau and the gatehouse with its wings represent a splendid feat of architecture: a classic symmetrical layout going from east to west on an open, grassy terrace. Beyond this section of lawns on which the edifices stand, the grounds extend through meadows and woods over a naturally undulating area. The chateau has been listed as a historical monument since 1990 for its walls, roofing and interior decorative features.

A 17th century chateau and its terraces registered as historical monuments, outbuildings, parkland and underground spring, set in 8 hectares of grounds overlooking the Charente valley. From the main road to the south, a large driveway lined with chestnut trees leads to the property gates, to the left of an L-shaped outbuilding to the north-west. A swimming pool at its northern end is protected by a walled enclosure, which extends from the outbuilding to the chateau moat, where it becomes a retaining wall. To the right of the outbuilding, an avenue of gnarled hornbeams crosses the grassy areas where fruit trees have been planted. There are a dovecote and a communal oven a few metres further on in the direction of the chateau. The main building, which is reached by going less than 50 m across the grounds, overlooks the River Charente. It is in an L-shape, which opens onto the sunlit valley it overlooks. Its two wings, framed by dry moats to the east and west, are bordered by terraces above, with the eastern one, which juts out towards the valley, featuring high arches running the entire length of the ground. The west wing, meanwhile, looks as if it is standing on a rock at its end, and the balustrade of the terrace closes off the courtyard on the lower level facing the River Charente, which flows around 300 m below. The chateau walls are crowned with crenellations scalloped on machicolations. The low-sloped canal tile roof is concealed by battlements and the ends of the gutters are in the shape of cannon mouths. The balustrade, at the edge of the dry moat which the entrance to the residence is above, is only just visible. Beyond this, as you go down towards the west, a house facing the stream stands on the hillside. Moors and coppices stretch out towards the river. Finally, beyond the parkland to the west, grassed areas adjoin the woods on the edge of the property.

An 18th-century chateau, gites, reception room and swimming pools set in 3 hectares of grounds in the heart of a wine-growing estate. In the middle of the rolling countryside typical of the Gironde wine-growing region, a long avenue of lime and lilac trees leads up to the chateau. A vast gravelled courtyard with a circular lawn adorned with a statue of a woman stands in front of the south-facing facade of the chateau. Set at right angles on the left, there is a large building, which was part of the former wine storehouse, which has been converted into a reception room with a terrace and lawn in front of it. The current occupants have created a parking space there big enough for several cars. A circular tower with a pepperpot roof stands between the chateau and the reception room. On the right, sheltered by a laurel hedge, there is a gite that can accommodate up to 20 people and a small house for two overlooking the vineyards as far as the eye can see. All the facades are Bordeaux stone, with Virginia creepers, wisteria and rose bushes. The chateau has a clay tile roof, while the tower has a plain tile roof. There are 11 windows, a French window and the entrance door, all with wooden shutters. There are two swimming pools - one behind the chateau and the other next to the gite - and 1.5 hectares of vines.
