Corps De Ferme, La Rochelle

With no neighbors or overlooking views, on the edge of the Benon forest, this former characterful shepherd’s house exudes all the charm of large family estates, combined with rare event potential. An extraordinary place destined to become an iconic address in the region.

Behind its electric gate, the property immediately reveals a unique atmosphere: a vast welcoming courtyard designed for hosting, spectacular volumes, the nobility of old stone, and open views over nearly two hectares of fully enclosed land. An outdoor area also allows parking for more than 100 vehicles.

Here, every space seems designed to celebrate the art of living, conviviality, and exceptional moments.

From the entrance, the tone is set. A staircase leads to an elegant mezzanine arranged as a TV lounge with a video projector, suspended above the main volumes. To the left of the entrance, the living area impresses with its extraordinary size: nearly 125 m² combining kitchen, dining room, and living room under a magnificent cathedral ceiling, enhanced by exposed beams and large openings flooded with natural light.

A second, cozier and warmer lounge features a fireplace and is perfect for more intimate evenings.

The ground floor sleeping area offers three bedrooms, a dressing room, a shower room, toilets, and a separate laundry room.

Upstairs, the volumes continue with two huge sloped-ceiling bedrooms, a third additional bedroom, and a large bathroom with shower and WC.

Outside, the spectacle continues. Decidedly contemporary, the heated pool creates a true high-end relaxation space. Its exceptional dimensions of 20 x 8 meters, central terrace, and submerged sunbathing areas give it a spectacular presence. A large wooden terrace also hosts a spa, providing an additional space dedicated to relaxation and entertaining.

The potential is further enhanced by nearly 1,000 m² of outbuildings with new roofs, including a 250 m² garage, a 500 m² building spread over two levels, two annexes of 70 and 50 m², and a sumptuous 76 m² reception hall blending stone, high ceilings, and authenticity.

This rare configuration opens up a particularly wide range of possibilities: exceptional family residence, event business, catering, seminars, high-end guesthouse, wedding venue, or private event space.

Without neighbors and nestled in a remarkable natural environment, the property enjoys rare tranquility while remaining perfectly connected to the region’s main hubs.

Benon benefits from a strategic location between La Rochelle and Surgères. La Rochelle and its Old Port are about 25 minutes away, while Surgères and its train station, offering TGV connections to Paris, are less than 20 minutes away. Daily shops, schools, and amenities are also easily accessible nearby, in the town of Benon and surrounding communities.

A truly extraordinary property where the elegance of large volumes, the character of stone, and the beauty of the environment combine to create a deeply inspiring place, as rare as it is versatile.
