THE PROPERTY
Set in a commanding position above a river valley in the Charente countryside, this elegant historic estate traces its origins to the 16th century, with the present residence largely dating from the 18th century. The château is distinguished by two substantial round towers and enjoys far-reaching views across meadows and woodland.
The château offers approximately 535 m² of living space. A handsome double-ramp stone staircase leads to the raised ground floor, where a central entrance hall opens to a 53 m² grand salon, a 40 m2 sitting room, a 39 m² dining room, pantry and bedroom accommodation with private bathrooms. The garden level provides a kitchen set within one of the towers, further dining and living space, a games room, storage and service areas.
The upper floor provides extensive bedroom accommodation together with several bathrooms and shower rooms. Throughout the house, generous proportions, timber floors, fireplaces and traditional architectural details create an authentic and understated atmosphere well suited to a substantial family residence.
ESTATE & OUTBUILDINGS
The rear courtyard is framed by two large outbuildings. These include a beautifully renovated barn suitable for summer entertaining and receptions, former stables, garage space and storage rooms. A separate caretaker's house provides a living room with wood-burning insert, kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room.
The estate extends to approximately 26.5 hectares of gardens, meadows and woodland, providing privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Heating is by oil and wood, and the property is served by a septic system.
