Overview
Step through the wrought-iron gates of this **740m² masterpiece**, where the golden stone of **Château Chantonnay** rises like a sentinel over **2.3 hectares of whispering parkland**—a private kingdom enclosed in emerald seclusion. Here, history breathes through every **carved molding, grand fireplace, and herringbone floor**, each detail a testament to centuries of elegance, now seamlessly woven with modern comfort. Ten **sumptuous bedrooms** and nine **luxurious bathrooms**, refreshed in 2020, unfold across three floors like chapters of a grand romance: four suites on the first level, four on the second, and two intimate retreats beneath the eaves, where slanted ceilings cradle the hush of the **convertible 100m² attic**, waiting to be reimagined.
The ground floor is a **symphony of hospitality**—a **professional kitchen** humming with possibility, a **mahogany bar** gleaming under crystal chandeliers, and a **reception hall** where the **wall paneling glows** in candlelight, beckoning gatherings that linger into the small hours. Three **stately salons**, each adorned with **architectural flourishes** from a bygone era, offer sanctuaries for conversation, music, or quiet contemplation. Beyond the château’s embrace, two **exquisitely renovated gîtes** (74m² and 34m²) nestle into the landscape, their **shared outdoor pool** reflecting the Vendée sky—a discreet opportunity for income, should you wish to share this paradise.

Here, the **orangery** stands as a sunlit pavilion for morning café au lait, while the **original stable**, rich with the scent of aged wood, hints at equestrian legacies or future soirees beneath strung lanterns. The estate’s **two ancient wells** murmur secrets of the land, and the **recently restored roof**—replaced just before the millennium—ensures this legacy endures.
Yet the true magic lies in its **location**: **30 minutes from Puy du Fou’s** enchanting spectacles, where history leaps to life, and an hour from the **wild Atlantic coast**, where salt-kissed winds tangle with the perfume of lavender. This is more than a château—it is a **living tapestry**, where **oil-lamp warmth** meets modern indulgence, where **single-glazed windows** frame vistas of rolling green, and where every **stone, every beam, every gilded cornice** invites you to write the next chapter.

Come. Let the **iron gates swing wide**. The **fireplaces are laid**, the **gardens await your footsteps**, and the **walls hum with stories** yet to be told. This is not merely a home—it is an **heirloom of the soul**, a **sanctuary for those who crave grandeur with grace**. A visit is not just recommended; it is **the first step into your legend**.
