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.

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.

The flagship tourist attraction of Puy du Fou, which attracts over 4 million visitors a year, is less than 20 kilometres away.

It is ideally suited to tourism, with a restaurant and professional kitchen, guest rooms and two gîtes. The bocage region of the Vendée is mainly made up of fields surrounded by coppice, hedges and copses, forming a landscape of unspoilt natural charm. The small village where the Château is located has a rich history: in the 15th century, this trading town was renowned throughout the region for its fairs and varied crafts. In 1721, it was one of the twenty largest towns in Bas-Poitou! The fairs lost their importance in the 16th century, and after the Revolution they were held only four times a year.

It is a square building, two storeys high.

The first gîte sleeps 6 people (€1,000 in high season) and the second sleeps 4 (€760 in high season). A swimming pool (5x10m) allows guests to cool off after visiting the rich heritage of the Vendée.

These include the 12th-century church of Saint-Jacques and a number of beautiful old houses offering authentic charm. A few kilometres away is Trizay Abbey, a remarkable site steeped in history. The four-storey château is of great elegance. The south-west façade is a superb example of a reinterpretation of the Louis XIII style that was in vogue in the Vendée region around 1850. Garlands of flowers, blind oculi and curvilinear pediments make for a highly successful 17th-century pastiche. Two male and two female masks on the two towers add to the finesse of the decoration. The facade facing the park is much more restrained, although its scrolled dormer keeps the style consistent. Inside, the château has been renovated using quality materials over a surface area of 600 sqm (around 200 sqm per floor). The former owner worked passionately for 7 years to restore this superb residence to its former glory. An interior designer has created a harmonious whole.

On the second floor, the landing, lit by a glass roof, leads to two bedrooms and a large dormitory. Several other rooms can also be converted into bedrooms. A bathroom can also be fitted (arrivals). In the basement, covering the entire surface area of the château, the cellar is impressive in its size. A central corridor separates several technical rooms, including a magnificent wine cellar, ideal for tastings. Outbuildings : - An outbuilding was renovated into a reception room 2 years ago.

You enter a bar area with a counter. On the right is the catering area and sanitary facilities. To the left is the large dining room, which can accommodate 100 people standing and 40 seated. - A small pavilion in the park The park covers more than 19 acres (8 hectares) and is divided into different areas. Opposite the château, around a bend in a path lined with carefully pruned cypress trees, you'll discover a formal garden with symmetrical flowerbeds and topiary, and an elegant fountain in the centre. Further on, beneath the majestic foliage of centuries-old trees - gnarled oaks, imposing cedars and purple beeches - stretches a vast pond, a tranquil mirror reflecting the sky in a thousand shades. Sheltered from view, a statue of the Blessed Virgin keeps watch, frozen in her benevolent posture, offering walkers a moment of contemplation in the heart of this tamed nature. The park undergoes a metamorphosis through the seasons: a golden glow in autumn, a powdery coat in winter, a floral symphony in spring and an ocean of greenery in summer.

Ref.4573 : Beautiful 19th C. Château for sale, in Vendée department The château we are offering is in the heart of the Vendée. Set in a 140 acres estate, in a peaceful location with no neighbours, it is 2 kilometres from a small village with around 1,000 inhabitants. This pleasant village was the summer residence of bishops between the 14th and 17th centuries. Situated around 10 kilometres from Saint Hermine, the village lies at the crossroads of roads leading to the sea and inland, offering a balance between nature, heritage and cultural discoveries. The surrounding countryside, made up of hedged farmland, forests and small streams, is ideal for nature lovers and keen walkers. The Mervent forest is just a 15-minute drive away. The château was built between 1823 and 1830, not far from an estate that had existed since the 14th century. The owner commissioned a renowned architect to build a château on land that belonged to his ancestors. The aesthetic is both elegant and functional, designed to evoke prestige and solidity, while offering bourgeois comfort. The architecture is typical of the second half of the 19th century, influenced by the neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance styles. The château has a rectangular floor plan with a three-storey elevation and a tower at the corner. The facades are punctuated by vertical bays framed by white stone quoins. In the central section, the frames of the entrance door and the upper window are carefully decorated with mouldings. The steep slate roofs are topped by brick chimneys. The interior surface area is approx. 670 sqm. Inside, the renovation is recent. All the original materials have been preserved, including the oak parquet flooring, mouldings, rose windows, wood panelling, ashlar staircase with marble treads and 5-metre high ceilings. The ground floor is accessed via a beautiful entrance hall with a magnificent stone staircase. The reception rooms are in front of us, a lounge and a dining room with large windows overlooking the countryside. There is a large fitted kitchen, a utility room, a second entrance through the gable, a toilet and a study.

The quiet estate extends over 140 acres, consisting of meadows, woodland, some with hundred-year-old oak trees and a pond. There's a deep sense of peace here, an almost carnal attachment to the land, and that rare sensation that space and silence are a luxury.
