Historic property on a feudal motte with a farmhouse

Located in the commune of Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, this property nestled in the upper part of the town offers over 480m2 of living space on a plot of almost 9000m2.

A rare opportunity in the heart of town, this multi-faceted property is an architectural gem in its entirety. The two-storey main building is complemented by a magnificent 400m2 borderie with incredible potential and a totally independent 106m2 dwelling. The land features a feudal motte linked to the town’s castle, as well as being suitable for swimming pools and building. Totally enclosed by stone walls, the property is completely hidden from view, so that it remains a haven of peace.

The main stone building, dating from 1850, leads to a majestic, walk-through entrance with its period checkerboard floor and solid wood staircase. The first floor features a wood-panelled kitchen, a beautiful dining room with poetic views over the park, a living room with wood parquet flooring and tapestries, and a comfortable study.
Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms with solid parquet flooring share a bathroom and a shower room. Almost all rooms on the first two levels feature marble fireplaces. The top floor has two further bedrooms and 100m2 of attic space that could be converted to give the building a new lease of life. A basement of almost 150m2 completes the property.

A 106m2 living space is one of the property’s many assets. A kitchen with its period open fireplace, a cosy living room and a shower room complete the first floor. Two bedrooms and a dormitory share the first floor. An exterior courtyard with a storeroom and access to the street make this a totally independent dwelling open to a thousand and one possibilities (gîte, company house, seasonal or year-round rental).

A 16th-century two-storey borderie of over 400m2 is a real architectural nugget with an incredible history. Its potential is undeniable for enthusiasts. Renovation work could be envisaged, depending on the desired option.

The park, with its many century-old trees, is a jewel case in the heart of the city, offering peace and quiet for residents and guests alike. The feudal motte at the center of the grounds is one of the rarest and most atypical. Part of the plot is suitable for building and swimming. Overhead parking is possible.

In the immediate vicinity of the town’s historic center, the 11th-century château and shops within walking distance, the beaches are less than 10 minutes away by car. A prime location in a dynamic, fast-growing community.
