Historic 16Th Century Château 45-Hectare Estate 50 Minutes from la Rochelle

Property Description

Château de l'Aubraye Exclusively presented, this exceptional listed château (Ismh) is steeped in history and has remained in the same family since the late 18th century, notably the family of Georges Clemenceau.

Set in the heart of an unspoiled natural environment, the estate extends over approximately 45 hectares (111 acres) of parkland, woodland, meadows, vegetable gardens, and ponds, offering a truly unique and peaceful setting.

The main château, spanning around 1,200 sqm (12,900 sq ft), is surrounded by water-filled moats fed by natural springs, giving the property a rare and majestic character. It is arranged over several levels and features impressive reception areas including multiple lounges, a dining room, study, games room, and a winter garden, as well as 9 bedrooms, notably including the historic bedroom of Georges Clemenceau.

Upper floors offer numerous additional bedrooms and spaces, providing significant potential for further development.

The estate also includes substantial outbuildings totaling approximately 1,750 sqm (18,800 sq ft), including:

Former aviaries, barns, greenhouse, and cellar
Remains of an old chapel
An independent apartment within the courtyard
Several courtyards, towers, and ancillary buildings
Potential to create up to 8 additional bedrooms

The grounds are further enhanced by two ponds, extensive fields, and a large kitchen garden, making it ideal for a wide range of lifestyle or commercial projects, subject to heritage regulations related to its listed status.

Renovation required:
The roofs of the outbuildings require renovation. This has already been reflected in the pricing, with an estimated reduction of approximately 800,000.
The roofs of the main buildings (residential areas) are in good condition.

A rare opportunity with outstanding potential, perfectly suited for a hospitality project (events, seminars, boutique hotel) or as a prestigious private residence for those seeking history, character, and scale.
