House La Roche-sur-Yon - 7 bedrooms

Between Nantes and La Roche-sur-Yon, nestling in the heart of the wooded valleys of the high bocage of the Vendée, stands a noble 18th-century château, listed as a Historic Monument.

This 42-hectare estate, partly enclosed by ancient walls, unfurls its woods, meadows, ponds and shady driveways around a residence of almost 900 m², whose architectural harmony evokes the splendour of another era.

Between the picturesque landscape and the silence of the stones, the place retains intact the soul of a great seigneurial estate.

Concealed behind a long iron gate, the château is accessed through a remarkable finely crafted portal, which opens onto a courtyard of honour bordered by the symmetrical silhouette of the building.

The elegance of the main facade, in keeping with the canons of the classical style, opens onto a stone porch via a majestic horseshoe-shaped staircase.

The generously proportioned entrance hall leads to a succession of lounges and reception rooms, where sculpted woodwork, herringbone parquet flooring, moulded doors and antique fireplaces create a decor imbued with solemnity.

The library, a true study area, is distinguished by its wood-panelled walls spanning two levels.

The kitchen and dining room are in the west pavilion, while the offices are in a row in the opposite pavilion.

Upstairs, seven bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room, offer peace and light.

Two further rooms, used as offices, complete this level.

The vast, uncluttered attic space and vaulted cellars reveal the potential of this ancestral building.

The carefully preserved grounds follow the contours of the landscape.

Hundred-year-old trees, ancient hedges, a listed wash-house and labyrinth punctuate the stroll through this jewel of greenery, lending the whole an atmosphere of elegant retreat.

Sheep, donkeys and ponies graze peacefully, adding a touch of rural charm to the property.

Two peaceful ponds, home to a living ecosystem animated by discreet and graceful local wildlife, reflect the sky in an almost monastic silence.

A former racecourse bears witness to the estate's equestrian past.

Several outbuildings form a harmonious courtyard: caretaker's cottage, orangery, garages, reception buildings and accommodation.

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 vigil.

La Bergerie, a meticulously modernised outbuilding, spans two levels, with three bedrooms and a shower room upstairs, a vast living room opening onto a fitted kitchen, and a master suite on the ground floor.

A sunny terrace with swimming pool, in a privileged setting, enhances this living space.

This exceptional estate opens the way to a wide range of projects: family home, prestigious reception area, retreat for lovers of history, tranquillity or nature.

A rare place, full of soul, between memory and refinement.
