Unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional historical Chateau and guest house, nestling in 42 hectares of glorious land with gardens, pools and wood, located between La Roche-sur-Yon and Nantes.

Set in the rolling countryside of the Haut Bocage region of the Vendee, and just an hour from the Vendee beaches, lies this exquisite property where history and nature come together in rare harmony.

Listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments, this 18th century chateau 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 decor 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 chateau, 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 chateau appears at the end of a main courtyard, showcasing the perfect symmetry of its classical architecture.

Its granite facade, 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 chateau 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 chateau offers a unique canvas on which to bring even the most ambitious projects to life.

Buying a Property in France

1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)

On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.

The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.

Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.

2. Paying the Deposit

Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.

3. On Completion

Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.

During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
