Pays de la Loire, Vendée, St-Hilaire-des-Loges, France

Spacious and very nicely restored manor house with a thousand years of history, offering versatile accommodation and equestrian facilities set in over 10 acres of land.

Dating back to the 11th century, this magnificent 'mini chateau' has undergone a high-end renovation, with great taste and quality, retaining many of the original features such as fireplaces, stonework and tiles.

An adjoining but independent guest house offers accommodation for family or seasonal rental.

The five main rooms of the chateau include a stunning, light-filled dine-in kitchen, a separate dining room (both with underfloor heating) and a beautiful living room.

In the adjacent 'wing' there is a large office with a shower room, and another large room currently used as a gym.

This part of the property could be used as a ground floor master suite or a separate annex.

There is also a laundry room with a wc and access to the gardens.

A handsome original stone staircase leads to the first floor with five bedrooms, including a huge master suite, a guest room with en suite bathroom. The attached guest house offers a beautiful kitchen/dining/sitting room with huge floor to ceiling windows, a living room, and three bedrooms (one mezzanine) all with en-suite bathrooms on the first floor.

Extensive renovations have created a very large workshop/garage and a large lockable outdoor storage area, ample parking alongside some other original outbuildings.

The professional equestrian facilities include a stable block, tack room, washing area, and a 60 x 20 m riding arena.

Set in over 4 hectares of wooded land including gardens and grazing.

Conveniently located 16 km from Fontenay le Comte, just 4/5km from 3 small towns with amenities, and under an hour from the sea.
