House for sale
Challans, Vendée, Pays de la Loire, France
Full Description
We offer for sale a delightful nineteenth-century castle, a true haven of peace combining classic elegance and modern comfort. This property wonderfully combines the history and charm of a bygone era with a living environment conducive to relaxation and conviviality.
The architecture of this historic residence, of great sobriety and rare elegance, draws its inspiration from the French mannerism of the seventeenth century, sublimated by the interpretation of the Second Empire.
The castle is presented as a large pleasure pavilion, with a façade animated by two lateral projections that frame a porch of honour.
Stone quoins and window frames add a seigniorial touch to the whole, while the dormers with triangular pediments and the 'Mansart' slate roof bring an undeniable majesty.
Inside, the elegance continues with oak and poplar floors, marble fireplaces, woodwork picture rails, paneled doors, and intricately carved cornices.
The ground floor consists of an entrance leading to two spacious living rooms, a library, a kitchen, a laundry room and a toilet, all connected by a corridor-gallery adorned with arcades.
Upstairs, you will discover a large landing, four large bedrooms, as well as bathroom and shower rooms.
The second floor, more sober, takes up this layout and also offers a landing, four bedrooms and a large shower room.
The castle is surrounded by a large terrace, perfect for displaying potted plants, especially citrus fruits, and bordered by a balustrade that leads to a pleasant esplanade, ideal for outdoor dining during the sunny months.
The park, sumptuously landscaped with chestnut trees, oaks and cedars of Lebanon, is a real green setting.
These trees, contemporary with the castle, flourish according to the fashion 'between shadow and light', a true reflection of the spirit of the Belle Époque.
The castle is in perfect condition, offering the best of both worlds: the authenticity of an exciting time, coupled with modern comforts.
Only 25 minutes from the first beaches and 30 minutes from a superb golf course, it is an ideal place to live both for a second home and for year-round occupancy.
A privileged setting for those in search of tranquility, charm and history.
