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.

Réf.4802 : Chateau listed as a Historic Monument and its small chateau in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre The château is situated in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre region, between Nevers and Château-Chinon, on the outskirts of a small town of 900 inhabitants. Formerly the seat of a major medieval seigneury, the town developed on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Aron valley. The Nivernais Canal forms a loop within which the estate is situated. The Aron flows below. It is built on high ground and enjoys a magnificent view over the Nièvre countryside. The Morvan Regional Nature Park is nearby, a preserved natural area. The château is a 30-minute drive from Nevers and a 2 hour 40 minute drive from Paris. There is an aerodrome in Nevers, and a helicopter can land in the château grounds. The property comprises a 1,200 sqm château and a smaller 800 sqm château. THE CHATEAU : The château is built on a rectangular plan, over four storeys, with a slate gable roof. On the south-west façade, one can make out a former imposing chapel, now connected to the interior of the château, covered by a hipped roof, with two large pointed-arch windows. The main entrance is situated in the centre of a tall, projecting tower, spanning six storeys, topped by a hipped roof and housing a listed spiral staircase. The north-west façade, overlooking the terrace, is rendered in lime, featuring numerous mullioned windows in the larger sections and high-set dormer windows. The window frames are made of limestone. The south-east façade, offering a beautiful view of the Nièvre countryside, also features numerous windows, some of which are in a more classical 17th-C. style. A two-storey turret links the former chapel to the château. On the second and third floors there are twelve bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and wardrobe, ranging in size from 12 to 51 sqm. Beneath the roof of the former chapel lies a large 50 sqm study featuring a beautiful roof structure shaped like an upturned ship’s hull. Throughout the château, there are numerous preserved and restored architectural features, including floors, fireplaces, wood panelling, ceilings, and more. The interiors are very harmonious, of high quality, and perfectly respect this historic residence. THE SMALL CHATEAU : This is a 17th-C. building that originally housed outbuildings and large double-height stables. It has a rectangular layout over three storeys, plus an attic, and is covered with a slate Mansard roof. The main façade on the north-west side features a slight projection at its centre, with a pediment at the top, as well as at the ends, framed by stonework. The façades are lime-plastered. The interior surface area of the small château is approximately 800 sqm. THE 13TH-C. DEFENCE TOWER : This military defence tower has been converted into a self-contained flat. On the ground floor is a living room featuring antique terracotta tiles and a French-style ceiling. The tower contains various works by the designer and sculptor Pierre-Marie le Jeune, including a striking metal fireplace. A small kitchen has also been fitted out. Upstairs, there is a beautiful bedroom with a ‘sculpted bed’ and a glass ceiling revealing the magnificent roof structure, as well as a very contemporary bathroom with a glass bathtub. LAND : The park covers just over 12.3 acres. Around 1830, the landscape architect LAVENNE de CHOULOT designed an English-style park. It is through this park that one enters the estate. Heading south, we pass through a woodland with beautiful bridle paths that lead us to the edge of the Canal du Nivernais. From there, skirting the defence tower via a stone tunnel, we reach what was once the old kitchen garden, situated below the château’s terrace. Under the impetus of the current owners, this former kitchen garden has been transformed into a contemporary garden which has been awarded the ‘remarkable garden’ label. Water features have been created, resembling shattered fragments in which the sky and the château’s façade are reflected. Magnificent undulating rows of boxwood evoke the Nivernais bocage. This remarkable garden is bordered by a private canal running parallel to the Canal du Nivernais. Finally, a small French-style garden has been created on the upper terrace between the château and the 13th-C. tower. The views are magnificent, both from the lower garden towards the chateau terraces and from the upper gardens towards the Aron valley and the landscapes of the Nivernais countryside. This château is a truly historic family estate. Its size, location, surroundings, gardens and history make it a truly exceptional property. The high-quality restoration, which has been carried out with respect for the site’s history, means that a large family could move in immediately. The separation between the main château and the smaller château opens up a wide range of possibilities for activities without causing any disturbance. The development of an events business—such as conferences, corporate conventions, seminars, or private events like weddings, receptions, birthdays, etc.—is entirely feasible. It would also be possible to consider creating a hospitality (hotel) business. Finally, there is an opportunity to purchase additional land and buildings, subject to a price offer.
