Full Description
Only 25 minutes from La Rochelle, in the heart of the historic town of Rochefort, an exceptional property, steeped in history and charm, is revealed.
Just opposite the famous Corderie Royale, an emblematic place founded by Louis XIV to house his great maritime arsenal, discover an architectural treasure: the Hôtel de Lisleferme.
Built in 1853 by Henri de Lisleferme, a naval engineer from a prominent Protestant family in La Rochelle, this private mansion is inspired by the elegant Bordeaux residences of the eighteenth century. The complex offers 500 m² of living space on three levels, sublimated by generous volumes (3.50 m high ceilings), refined moldings, a majestic grand staircase and a rare coffered ceiling.
The exterior is not to be outdone: 300 m² of walled garden, an independent guest house, and a hydrolic home elevator, a particularly rare equipment in this type of house.
A privileged witness to history, the Hôtel de Lisleferme has in turn housed naval officers, hosted the Chamber of Commerce, and even minted coins during the First World War.
Today, with its 8 bedrooms and generous spaces, this property offers multiple potential: prestigious family residence, art gallery, event venue, or professional project of character just 15 minutes from the ocean.
A rare property for an exceptional life.
