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. On the first floor, the landing leads to a large bedroom with bathroom and dressing room, a suite with bathroom in the tower and a third bedroom with dressing room and bathroom. There are also two offices on this floor. On the second floor, the landing leads to two bedrooms, each with its own dressing room and bathroom, and two further bedrooms with access to a bathroom, a study in the tower and attic space. There is a full basement with a range of conversion options. The estate has a number of outbuildings set away from the château, all of which are architecturally beautiful and have their own entrance: A large building of more than 300 sqm awaiting renovation, with mains electricity. There is a garage, the former stables, a tack room and a complete first floor. Three houses: - Two are renovated ready for connection. The 1st house has 88 sqm of living space and the second 98 sqm. - One house of 110 sqm remains to be renovated. 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. Centuries-old oak and cedar trees stand in front of the château. A small stream runs through the estate.

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.
