Château des Rêves Éternels – A 19th-Century Masterpiece in Pays de la Loire’s Golden Countryside

Step through the vaulted stone gateway into a world where time slows and history breathes—where 7 hectares of sun-drenched meadows, whispering orchards, and mirror-still ponds cradle a residence of rare elegance. This is *Château des Rêves Éternels*, a 1850s manor reborn in 2002 with the soul of the 15th century still humming in its ancestral granite staircase and parquet floors worn smooth by 160 years of family laughter.

Here, the air carries the scent of apple blossoms from the orchard and the faint mineral tang of three ancient wells, their cool waters once the lifeblood of this estate. The main residence—420m² of soaring 2.9m ceilings and firelit salons—unfolds like a novel: a grand entrance hall leading to twin living rooms where winter evenings dissolve into crackling hearths, a master suite tucked behind a discreet dressing room, and not one but *two* kitchens—one for intimate suppers, the other for lavish feasts that spill into the second dining hall. Above, five bedrooms and three shower rooms await, their windows framing views of woodland canopies and the pond’s silvered surface at dawn.

Beyond the honey-colored stone of the courtyard, the estate reveals its secrets: a 7x4m pool glinting under the Provence sun, its 110m² terrace a stage for golden-hour apéritifs; a 72m² hunting lodge with a fireplace that begs for stories and clinking glasses; a 71m² guest cottage ripe for renewal, its attic whispering of future chapters. Three garages stand ready for a collector’s vintage fleet, while the 42m² barn—its sloping ceiling lost in shadow—hints at a writer’s retreat or an artist’s sanctuary.

This is a property that remembers. The dining kiosk, nestled among century-old oaks, has borne witness to generations of toasts under twilight skies. The agricultural buildings—165m² of purpose and possibility—still echo with the rhythm of harvests past, now poised for equestrian dreams or a gentleman’s vineyard. And all of this, just 20km from the enchantment of Puy du Fou, where history leaps from the pages—yet here, you are the protagonist.

A private kingdom where the Vendée and Deux-Sèvres borders blur into your own domain. Three kilometers from village charms, yet worlds away in its hushed grandeur. Offered as a 7-hectare legacy or expanded to 12 with partial leasing—an invitation to write the next verse of its story. Whether as a family’s ancestral seat, a boutique retreat for discerning guests, or a shared haven for kindred spirits, this is more than an estate. It is a living poem, waiting for your signature.
