MAGNIFICENT 18TH-CENTURY ESTATE ON OVER 8.5 HECTARES WITH A POND

MAGNIFICENT 18TH-CENTURY ESTATE ON OVER 8.5 HECTARES WITH A POND Nestled in the heart of the Charente countryside, behind a grand covered gatehouse, this estate unfolds, offering an authentic and privileged setting where nature, heritage, and the art of living converge. Surrounded by rolling landscapes, meadows, and woods, you will be captivated by its atmosphere and preserved charm. A haven of tranquility in the heart of a protected natural environment… The main building, resembling a small château, offers over 600 sq m of living space on two levels, plus an additional 230 sq m on the third floor, which remains to be developed. The majestic 40 sq m entrance hall, with its original terracotta tiles, is open to both the courtyard and the park. The Château is divided into two independent (but interconnected) sections, offering numerous possibilities while maintaining the privacy of the apartments: – The West Wing features beautiful reception rooms (living room, dining room, library, etc.), a kitchen, and 5/6 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms and/or showers. – The East Wing offers a large eat-in kitchen, a living room, and upstairs, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and showers. A gatehouse (currently rented) of 85 sq m and numerous outbuildings covering over 1,500 sq m (barn, garage, former wine cellar, carports, former distillery, workshop, former forge, stable, etc.) complete this exceptional property. The magnificent park extends over 8.5 hectares. Hornbeam avenues, meadows, woodlands, and a significant bonus that adds to the undeniable charm of this magical setting: a nearly 1-hectare pond bordered by trees. Just a short walk from a small village, the Domaine combines comfort, simplicity, and rural elegance. Its exceptional size and numerous outbuildings in a protected setting offer a wealth of possibilities: a large family estate, a lifestyle project combined with a bed and breakfast/gîte business, event hosting, an equestrian project, etc. While the property has always been very well maintained, and a major renovation was undertaken in 2006, a budget for ongoing work, particularly on some of the outbuildings, should be considered. The Domaine is located 8 km from Barbezieux, where you will find all amenities (shops, schools, etc.), 30 minutes from Angoulême (TGV station) and Jonzac (spa town), and 45 minutes from Bordeaux (airport).
