Ref.4520 : Elegant Château with outbuildings for receptions in the Vendée department<BR>Situated in the heart of the Vendée, just 15 minutes from La Roche-sur-Yon and around fifty kilometres from the beaches of the Atlantic coast, the château we are offering is located in a commune that enjoys an ideal geographical location, combining rural tranquillity with accessibility. All the local shops are in the village.<BR>The forest of La Chaize, the banks of the River Yon and the many hiking trails make it easy to take full advantage of the natural beauty of the Vendée. <BR>The village and surrounding area are packed with historic sites that bear witness to the history of the Vendée. These include the 12th-century church of Saint-Jacques and a number of beautiful old houses offering authentic charm. A few kilometres away is Trizay Abbey, a remarkable site steeped in history.<BR><BR>The four-storey château is of great elegance. The south-west façade is a superb example of a reinterpretation of the Louis XIII style that was in vogue in the Vendée region around 1850. Garlands of flowers, blind oculi and curvilinear pediments make for a highly successful 17th-century pastiche. Two male and two female masks on the two towers add to the finesse of the decoration. <BR>The facade facing the park is much more restrained, although its scrolled dormer keeps the style consistent.<BR>Inside, the château has been renovated using quality materials over a surface area of 600 sqm (around 200 sqm per floor). The former owner worked passionately for 7 years to restore this superb residence to its former glory. An interior designer has created a harmonious whole. The rooms are light and airy, with high ceilings. The herringbone parquet flooring is original. The woodwork, mouldings and rosettes give the property a noble character.<BR>On the ground floor, after climbing the steps to the porch, you enter the hall, which features an admirable semi-circular suspended staircase. The walls and ceiling are decorated with elaborate woodwork.<BR>To the right is a vast lounge. To the left is the dining room. Continuing down the hall, on the right is a very beautiful, spacious and luminous fitted kitchen, with an original vegetable garden.<BR>To the left is a large bedroom and bathroom. Another bedroom completes the ground floor.<BR>On the first floor, a vast landing leads to 4 large, light and airy bedrooms and 4 shower rooms and a small bedroom.<BR>On the second floor, the landing, lit by a glass roof, leads to two bedrooms and a large dormitory. Several other rooms can also be converted into bedrooms. A bathroom can also be fitted (arrivals).<BR>In the basement, covering the entire surface area of the château, the cellar is impressive in its size. A central corridor separates several technical rooms, including a magnificent wine cellar, ideal for tastings.<BR><BR>Outbuildings : <BR>- An outbuilding was renovated into a reception room 2 years ago. The surface area is approximately 160 sqm.<BR>The work was carried out by an architect. The decor is tasteful and contemporary. Large windows look out over the park and the front of the château.<BR>You enter a bar area with a counter. On the right is the catering area and sanitary facilities. To the left is the large dining room, which can accommodate 100 people standing and 40 seated.<BR>- A small pavilion in the park<BR><BR>The park covers more than 19 acres (8 hectares) and is divided into different areas. <BR>Opposite the château, around a bend in a path lined with carefully pruned cypress trees, you'll discover a formal garden with symmetrical flowerbeds and topiary, and an elegant fountain in the centre.<BR>Further on, beneath the majestic foliage of centuries-old trees - gnarled oaks, imposing cedars and purple beeches - stretches a vast pond, a tranquil mirror reflecting the sky in a thousand shades. <BR>Sheltered from view, a statue of the Blessed Virgin keeps watch, frozen in her benevolent posture, offering walkers a moment of contemplation in the heart of this tamed nature.<BR>The park undergoes a metamorphosis through the seasons: a golden glow in autumn, a powdery coat in winter, a floral symphony in spring and an ocean of greenery in summer.<BR><BR>Cabinet LE NAIL – Loire-Atlantique and Vendée - Mrs Nathalie TOULBOT : +33 (0)2.43.98.20.20<BR>Nathalie TOULBOT, Individual company, registered in the Special Register of Commercial Agents, under the number 418 969 077.<BR>We invite you to visit our website Cabinet Le Nail to browse our latest listings or learn more about this property.
