The Elegance of an 18th-Century Château Set Within a 42-Hectare Private Estate.

Property Description

Between La Roche-sur-Yon and Nantes, nestled in the rolling countryside of the Haut Bocage region of the Vendée and just an hour from the Vendée beaches, lies an exceptional estate where history and nature come together in rare harmony.

Listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments, this 18th-century château offers nearly 900 m² of living space within a 42-hectare preserved park, just thirty minutes from Nantes International Airport.


Inside, the generous proportions and abundant natural light reveal a décor of great authenticity. Herringbone parquet floors adorned with inlaid woodwork, carved panelling, period fireplaces and elegant mouldings bear witness to the architectural refinement of the Age of Enlightenment.
The reception areas flow harmoniously from one to the next: a large reception room, a characterful library-sitting room clad in panelling across two levels with a mezzanine, a gallery leading to several offices, as well as a dining room and a kitchen situated in one of the side pavilions.

The first floor features seven bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room, offering comfort and privacy in a setting steeped in history.

Surrounding the château, the outbuildings significantly enhance the estate’s potential. A pleasant detached house – the Bergerie – recently renovated and featuring its own swimming pool, offers a charming residence ideal for hosting family or guests.


Sheltered behind a long wrought-iron fence and accessed via a grand entrance gate, the château appears at the end of a main courtyard, showcasing the perfect symmetry of its classical architecture.
Its granite façade, punctuated by tall windows and topped by an elegant slate roof dotted with dormers, is preceded by a majestic horseshoe-shaped staircase leading to the entrance steps.

A restored 15th-century watchtower, a listed chapel from the same century, and a courtyard of outbuildings comprising a barn, garages, reception areas and self-contained accommodation complete this remarkable heritage complex.

The grounds, a veritable landscaped gem, unfold with meadows, woods and tree-lined avenues dotted with century-old trees.
Two romantic ponds reflect the silhouette of the château and are home to a peaceful population of swans and herons.

A former racecourse recalls the estate’s equestrian past.
Here, nature paints a living picture where calm and serenity reign.

Steeped in centuries of history and perfectly preserved, this rare estate combines heritage prestige, an exceptional natural setting and a strategic location in one of the most dynamic regions of western France.

Whether as an exceptional family residence, a prestigious property or a high-end hospitality venture, this château offers a unique canvas on which to bring even the most ambitious projects to life.
