Ref. 4165 Elegant 19th century castle for sale in the Vendéen countryside.
The property is located in the Vendée bocage, near Gâtine, on the limits of Deux-Sèvres.
The bocage is made up of hedges, groves, rivers, meadows, fields and small villages. The nearest is 3 km away, and offers all local services, supermarket, doctor, pharmacy, and also two primary schools (public and private). Middle and high schools are 10 minutes away by car. This part of the Vendée is particularly renowned for its history and its tourist sites. The sea is about 90 km away.
At the beginning of the 15th century, a fiefdom which depended on the lordship of Parthenay existed on the site of the current castle.
In 1860, a Justice of the Peace, Frédéric Naud, ordered a castle from the very fashionable architect, Paul Joseph Guillerot, who designed numerous castles in Vendée.
Mr. Naud became mayor of the Commune. The construction is planned in an existing clearing, high up, with a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside.
The entrance facade is treated in a completely sober manner while the play of projections created by the small square pavilions enlivens the other side, without a door.
Around 1905, a veranda with a roof terrace accessible from a bedroom enhanced the whole.
Inside, a clever distribution with glass French doors around the hall offers light and views of the outside, a pretty countryside.
