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

Dating back to the 11th century, this magnificent ‘mini chateau’ steeped in over a thousand years of history has undergone a high-end renovation, with great taste and quality, retaining many of the original features such as fireplaces, stonework and tiles. It is full of history and charm. An adjoining but independent guest house offers accommodation for a family member or seasonal rental (possible gite - subject to necessary permissions).

The five main rooms of the château 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 toilet 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 stablebock, tack room, washing area, and a 60 x 20 m riding arena. All set on over 4 hectares of wooded land including gardens and grazing.

If you dream of walking the same floors as the knights of yesteryear, this house is for you. Conveniently located (16 km from Fontenay le Comte, just 4/5km from 3 small towns with amenities, and under an hour from the sea) and with so may possibilities, this is an opportunity not to be missed – contact us to book your viewing!
