Nantes countryside, home to one of the world’s finest stud farms

Now here’s a property that’s anything but ordinary! With a fully renovated château at its centre, the Haras de Hus has developed a global reputation in less than twenty years, taking its horses all the way to the Olympics. A complex listed for sale with BARNES Proprietes & Chateaux, who have invited us on a very exclusive private tour.

Founded in 2004 by a French entrepreneur with a passion for horse breeding, the Haras de Hus is now considered one of the leading names in sport horses, i.e. those bred for show jumping, dressage and eventing. We won't recount the stud farm’s meteoric rise, but suffice it to say that it was the first sport horse stud farm to enter the three Olympic disciplines, as was the case at London 2012. And that it has won a string of French, European and world titles. “The success story is simply incredible”, says Bertrand Couturié of BARNES Propriétés & Châteaux. “As is the quality of the setup, both in terms of the remarkably restored château as well as its outbuildings, stables, arenas and schools.” e BARNES Propriétés & Châteaux. Tout comme on ne peut qu’être impressionné par la qualité de l’installation, tant le château magnifiquement restauré que ses dépendances, ses écuries ses manèges et ses carrières ».

An extraordinary sale for an extraordinary property, given that the entire estate is listed with BARNES Propriétés & Châteaux. That is to say its fully renovated 1,000 sq.m. (10,765 sq ft) château with its stunning indoor pool, steam room and equipped home gym, heliport, independent accommodation for staff, and, of course, the stud farm itself: its stables, pastures, paddocks, arenas, indoor and outdoor schools and insemination centre. A world in itself, dedicated to competition breeding. “Not forgetting the farm’s 300 horses”, adds Caroline Baudry, Director of BARNES Le Marais and competitive rider. “They are included in the sale as the property’s owner wants to pass on the keys to another enthusiast who will continue the adventure and take it to even greater heights”.

The Haras de Hus intends to establish itself at the forefront of world breeding thanks to constant investments in state-of-the-art equine reproduction techniques. With one goal: to breed and train horses of confirmed origin to become top-level athletes. Nothing is left to chance here, as the stud farm has facilities to allow horses of all ages and all sporting disciplines to mature under the best conditions. An infrastructure considered a benchmark by the profession. The estate also comes with 46 hectares (115 acres) of fenced paddocks in addition to another 200 hectares (495 acres) of rented land. In other words a dream environment for the horses.

This 128-hectares (316-acre) walled estate overlooking the River Erdre, to which it has private access thanks to a private pontoon, is located 25km (15 miles) from La Baule. “In addition to the actual breeding activity, the qualities of which are universally recognised, this property has the unique attribute of comprising a château worthy of attention in itself!”, adds Bertrand Couturié. “The future owner will be continuing an entrepreneurial adventure begun in 2004. With the sky as the limit.

The sale price of this naturally unique property can be requested from BARNES Propriétés & Châteaux.
