Ref. 4397 : 14th C. Listed medieval Castle for sale, in Charente-Maritime Department The property is located in the heart of Saintonge Romane in the Charente-Maritime department. This 14th century medieval château (listed ISMH) is a former stronghold steeped in history and authenticity. Close to the A10 motorway and Saintes train station, this property is easily accessible from the capital. Jeanne de Parthenay inherited the land of Nieul in 1370, and her husband, Jean Chaudrier, an ancestor of Ronsard, built this fortified castle. Mayor of La Rochelle, he is famous for having delivered the town from the English thanks to a ruse. In the 1550s, the lords of Nieul followed the ideas of Calvin. In 1573 and 1574, Protestant worship took place here. From 1630 onwards, there were many co-lords until 1720, when the castle reverted to Gabriel Limousin. The château was sold as national property in 1793, and divided between three farmers. Since 1972, it has undergone extensive restoration. The castle features irregular polygonal walls with projecting buttresses at the corners of the curtain walls, reminiscent of the military architecture of the 13th and 14th centuries. The curtain walls, which are more than 12 metres high, were crowned by a parapet walk, which can still be seen on the facades of the two square towers. In the inner courtyard, the dwellings and outbuildings are set against the wall. Two of the three stair towers remain, the third only leading to the vaulted basement rooms. The property is accessed via two drawbridges over the moat, which has now been drained, one leading to the ogival gate and the other to the postern. And there you discover this magnificent ensemble that cannot leave you indifferent. The charm of the place is immediately apparent. Many events have been organised in this unique jewel, including concerts, heritage classes for children, exhibitions, night shows, films and short films. The château complex, covering around 700 sqm, comprises two main buildings. An habitable dwelling, fully furnished with period and stylish furniture, built over two levels. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a vestibule, a large lounge with its monumental fireplace, a second lounge, dining room and kitchen. The 1st floor has parquet flooring throughout and comprises a landing, a library, 6 bedrooms and 3 shower and toilet rooms. The outbuildings have been converted into living quarters, ideal for a tourist activity, and are sold fully furnished with period furniture. The building is also built on two levels. On the ground floor: a reception area, a patio, a refectory, a professionally equipped kitchen, a shower room, a bathroom and sanitary facilities. The 1st floor has parquet flooring and comprises a lounge, 3 independent bedrooms, 2 dormitories, two shower rooms and sanitary facilities. This beautiful property has an outbuilding used as a garden shed and workshop. This former stronghold has magnificent vaulted cellars that have been restored by the current owners. The property extends over 2.47 acres, including its former stronghold surrounded by an irregular enclosure with curtain walls 12 to 14 metres high, pierced by archères, crowned by a parapet walk and flanked by square towers. The moat has now been drained and there is a meadow where you can take full advantage of this place steeped in history. The chateau is listed on the Inventaire supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques: Enclosure wall and postern; turret in the east building containing a spiral staircase; remains of the south wing, now destroyed: start of a spiral staircase and two underground rooms : listed by order of July 1988.

An atypical L-shaped townhouse featuring a symbolist facade adorned with shells; the facade was built in 1906 during the reconstruction of the front section of the building. The original spiral staircase, located in a central tower, was replaced by a straight central staircase at the exact same time the top of the tower was removed. The main body of the house, which includes spacious upstairs rooms overlooking the garden, was built towards the end of the 18th century, around the time of the French Revolution. Most of the rooms retain their antique woodwork and original doors with period ironwork, as well as, in some cases, their original fireplaces. The large wood-paneled upstairs room overlooking the street is of additional historical interest due to its remarkable parquet floor with compartments (known as "Versailles parquet"), originating from a 17th or 18th-century chateau. The windows of this room are adorned with four hand-painted Pre-Raphaelite stained-glass panels (circa 1875)—including two circular female portraits—attributed to Daniel Cottier (1838-1891), originally from Anderston (Glasgow). This designer and illustrator, inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement, influenced the American artist Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933). The hallway windows feature three stained-glass panels depicting Renaissance-style portraits, sourced from a London house built in 1881. Many walls are decorated with original watercolor designs for Neo-Gothic stained glass. The large ground-floor dining room overlooking the street, which lacks wood paneling, features as its main decorative element six carved and polychrome-painted friezes of exceptional beauty and quality. Inspired by the Passion of Christ and embellished with richly gilded floral and fruit motifs, they were specially designed for a Neo-Gothic Anglican chapel (circa 1860) located in Somerset, England. The elongated pleasure garden holds historical value, dating back at least to the beginning of the 19th century. At its far end, it extends into a rich landscape arrangement of trees and shrubs. A remarkable white marble statue from Egypt, depicting the bust of an Eastern philosopher on a pedestal, serves as the garden's central decorative feature. Two large palm trees that dominate the garden—likely grown from self-seeded saplings—are over a century old. The larger one, located on the right, is well over a hundred years old, as it already appeared at this size on a 1908 postcard. The house served as a doctor's surgery during the last century.

Nestled in a particularly peaceful and sought-after area of Saintes, this architect-designed house from the 1980s offers approximately 240 sq m of living space within a landscaped garden of nearly 2,000 sq m and 5,000 sq m of meadow. From the moment you enter, the house's unique architecture is elegantly revealed. The generous proportions, sloping roofs, and high ceilings immediately set the tone. Polished travertine flooring throughout lends the house a warm and timeless atmosphere. A separate office is conveniently located near the entrance, ideal for a professional activity or working from home. Upstairs, an open mezzanine houses a superb custom-built library, a true reading nook. The kitchen and its dining area create a welcoming space. It flows seamlessly into a patio, an inspiring intermediate space that can accommodate overwintering plants, an art studio, or a winter garden, depending on your preferences. A pantry and a cellar complete this functional living area. Continuing the flow of the living spaces, the living room is undoubtedly the centerpiece of the house. Spanning nearly 65 square meters, this spectacular space reveals the property's distinctive architectural style. The impressive ceiling height, accentuated by the sloping roof and wood-paneled ceiling, imbues the room with a warm and unique atmosphere. At the heart of this space stands an elegant fireplace, a true focal point of the living room, structuring the room while enhancing the view to the outdoors. The large, south-facing wooden windows allow abundant light to flood in throughout the day and offer a soothing view of the garden and swimming pool. The travertine flooring extends the harmony of the space and reinforces the timeless character of this reception room. From the living room, the house opens naturally onto the terraces and outdoor spaces, inviting you to fully enjoy the landscaped garden and the recently renovated swimming pool. The house harmoniously separates the living and sleeping areas. This property features three bedrooms (with the possibility of a fourth), including a comfortable master suite with a dressing room, shower room, and toilet. A separate bathroom serves the two other bedrooms. Outside, the recently renovated 9 x 4 meter heated swimming pool, equipped with an integrated automatic cover, offers an intimate relaxation area. A terrace and barbecue area extend the enjoyment of the landscaped garden. The grounds open onto a large meadow, while a garden shed and carport complete the outdoor spaces. The house underwent significant renovations between 2023 and 2024: replacement of the windows and doors while preserving the original wood aesthetic with high-performance double glazing, complete renovation of the swimming pool, installation of a heat pump with reversible air conditioning, rewiring, mosquito nets, additional insulation, and a fresh coat of interior paint. A bright and characterful architect-designed house, where spaciousness and nature combine to create a rare living environment on the outskirts of Saintes. ENERGY RATING: C / CLIMATE RATING: B.
