Between Nantes and La Roche-sur-Yon, nestled in the heart of the wooded valleys of the high Vendée bocage, stands a noble 18th-century château, listed in the Inventory of Historical Monuments. This 42-hectare estate, partly enclosed by ancient walls, spreads its woods, meadows, ponds, and shaded paths around a residence of nearly 900 sqm, whose architectural harmony evokes the splendor of another era.

Between picturesque landscapes and the silence of the stones, the place preserves intact the soul of a large stately property. Hidden behind a long iron gate, the château is accessed through a remarkable, finely crafted gate, which opens onto a main courtyard bordered by the symmetrical silhouette of the building.

The elegance of the main façade, in keeping with the canons of the classical style, opens, via a majestic horseshoe staircase, onto a stone porch. The generously sized entrance hall leads to a succession of lounges and reception rooms, where carved woodwork, herringbone parquet floors, molded doors, and antique fireplaces create a solemn setting. The library, a true study area, is distinguished by its ornate woodwork walls on two levels. The kitchen and dining room are located in the west pavilion, while the offices, in a row, occupy the opposite pavilion. Upstairs, seven bedrooms, each with a bathroom or shower room, offer tranquility and light. Two additional rooms, used as offices, complete this level. The vast and open attic space, as well as the vaulted cellars, reveal the potential of this ancestral building. The carefully preserved park follows the curves of the landscape.

Centuries-old trees, ancient hedges, a listed washhouse, and a labyrinth punctuate the walk through this verdant gem, giving the whole an atmosphere of elegant retreat. Sheep, donkeys, and ponies graze peacefully, bringing a touch of rural sweetness to the property. Two peaceful ponds, home to a vibrant ecosystem animated by discreet and graceful local wildlife, reflect the sky in an almost monastic silence. A former racecourse testifies to the estate’s equestrian past. Several outbuildings form a harmonious courtyard: a caretaker’s house, orangery, garages, reception buildings, and living quarters. The recently restored 15th-century watchtower stands proudly to the east of the château. A listed chapel, with its mystical charm, punctuates the estate with its timeless presence, as if on silent watch.

The Bergerie, a meticulously modernized annex, is spread over two levels, offering three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, a vast living room opening onto a fitted kitchen, and a master suite on the ground floor. A sunny terrace with a swimming pool, in a privileged setting, embellishes this living space.
This exceptional estate opens the way to numerous projects: family home, prestigious reception area, retreat for lovers of history, tranquility or nature. A rare place, full of soul, between memory and refinement.
