Just 25 minutes from La Rochelle, in the heart of the historic town of Rochefort, lies a truly exceptional property, rich in character and steeped in history.
Directly opposite the famous Corderie Royale—the grand naval arsenal founded by Louis XIV in the 17th century—discover a rare architectural gem: the Hôtel de Lisleferme.
Built in 1853 by Henri de Lisleferme, a naval engineer and heir to a prominent Protestant family from La Rochelle, this private mansion draws inspiration from the elegant 18th-century Bordeaux townhouses. The property offers an impressive 500 m² (5,380 sq ft) of living space over three floors, with 3.5-meter-high ceilings, intricate mouldings, a sweeping staircase, and a rare coffered ceiling.
The walled garden of 300 m² (3,230 sq ft) adds a tranquil outdoor haven, complemented by a fully independent guest house and an in-house elevator—a true rarity in a period townhouse.
A silent witness to history, the Hôtel de Lisleferme has served as a residence for naval officers, the Chamber of Commerce, and even a wartime mint during World War I.
Today, with its 8 bedrooms and expansive, luminous spaces, the mansion lends itself to multiple possibilities: a prestigious family home, an art gallery, an event venue, or a high-end professional project—all just 15 minutes from the ocean.
Facing a landmark of France’s maritime heritage, in a setting of timeless elegance, this residence evokes the grandeur of Parisian private mansions… with the Atlantic breeze at your doorstep.
A rare opportunity for an exceptional lifestyle.
