Castles for sale Bazoges-en-Pareds, France

Ref. 4137: Charming castle for sale, for professional use, near vendeen coast Situated in the south of the Vendée bocage, near vendeen coast, the Château is on the edge of a picturesque village, not far from an attractive town with all amenities. 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. Built between 1850 and 1856, this Château is typical of the buildings of the period: a vast, ostentatious residence in keeping with the recovery and reconstruction of the region after the Vendée War. It is a square building, two storeys high. The garden level has a large surface area thanks to two low wings with concealed roofs, while the central mass rises over four levels of windows above a brick base. This strong vertical effect is accentuated by the high chimney stacks and corbelled turrets at each corner, known as pepperboxes. In addition, the rear façade features a polygonal front decorated with an attractive superimposition of Ionic and Corinthian orders. Inside, after climbing a granite staircase, visitors are welcomed into a vast entrance hall (40 sqm) with columns with composite capitals opening onto a beautiful dining room (43 sqm) with fine wood panelling, parquet flooring and a fireplace. Ceiling height is 4.50 metres. To the left are three reception rooms (40 sqm, 45 sqm and 22 sqm). On the right-hand side, the more technical part, a corridor with wood panelling and stucco leads to a professional kitchen (38 sqm), an office, cold rooms and toilets that can accommodate the public (PMR standard). A huge, beautifully curved staircase leads to the upper floors. It has a remarkable original wrought-iron banister. The upper floors can also be accessed via a back staircase. On the first floor, a vast corridor leads to four bedrooms, each with its own shower room and toilet, located in one of the four towers. All have beautiful oak parquet flooring. The second floor has the same layout as the first, with four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and toilet. Beautiful oak parquet flooring. The attic is partly converted, with a small kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The other part can be converted. A huge cellar completes the ensemble: a large central corridor with external exits at each end leads to a group of nine fully vaulted, stone-paved rooms. It covers the entire surface area of the Château. The outbuildings comprise: The orangery : This pretty stone and brick building with a slate roof is in need of restoration. It is 24 m long and 11 m wide. A large attic is possible. The stables : This rendered stone building dates from 1880 and comprises a central building flanked by two wings. The building requires restoration works. It is 26 metres long and 13 metres wide. The building includes garages, stables, a tack room and the possibility of attics throughout. The gîtes : In the former orchard, separated from the Château, surrounded by old stone walls, two gîtes have been restored. 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. The park covers approximately 6,18 acres, some of which is enclosed by walls. The English-style park is planted with large trees of various species. In particular, there are two huge sequoias. The woodland of around one hectare is planted mainly with oaks. Away from the Château is the orchard, enclosed by old walls: several fruit trees, including fig, mirabelle, apple and peach trees.

Ref.4165: Elegant 19th Century chateau for sale in the vendean bocage. The property is situated in the Vendée bocage, close to the Gâtine, on the borders of the Deux-Sèvres. The bocage is made up of hedges, copses, rivers, meadows, fields and small villages. The nearest village is 3 km away, and offers all local services, including a mini-market, doctor and chemist, as well as two primary schools (state and private). 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.
