Mansion Rochefort - 8 bedrooms - 574m²

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.

• Unique location facing the Corderie Royale, rich in history.
• Generous spaces: 500 sqm of living space with 8 bedrooms.
• Walled garden and guest house for preserved intimacy.
