castle for sale Les Herbiers, France

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.

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.

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.4520 : Elegant Château with outbuildings for receptions in the Vendée department Situated in the heart of the Vendée, just 15 minutes from La Roche-sur-Yon and around fifty kilometres from the beaches of the Atlantic coast, the château we are offering is located in a commune that enjoys an ideal geographical location, combining rural tranquillity with accessibility. All the local shops are in the village. The forest of La Chaize, the banks of the River Yon and the many hiking trails make it easy to take full advantage of the natural beauty of the Vendée. The village and surrounding area are packed with historic sites that bear witness to the history 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. The rooms are light and airy, with high ceilings. The herringbone parquet flooring is original. The woodwork, mouldings and rosettes give the property a noble character. On the ground floor, after climbing the steps to the porch, you enter the hall, which features an admirable semi-circular suspended staircase. The walls and ceiling are decorated with elaborate woodwork. To the right is a vast lounge. To the left is the dining room. Continuing down the hall, on the right is a very beautiful, spacious and luminous fitted kitchen, with an original vegetable garden. To the left is a large bedroom and bathroom. Another bedroom completes the ground floor. On the first floor, a vast landing leads to 4 large, light and airy bedrooms and 4 shower rooms and a small bedroom. 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. The surface area is approximately 160 sqm. The work was carried out by an architect. The decor is tasteful and contemporary. Large windows look out over the park and the front of the château. 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.
