This château, passed down through the same family for centuries, stands majestically next to a centuries-old lime tree, near a charming Romanesque church. Perched on its rocky promontory, it overlooks a wooded and rolling valley, offering an enchanting setting for this characterful property.
The owners have undertaken careful restoration, respecting the history and soul of this unique place. The roofs of the château and its outbuildings have been entirely renovated. Inside, significant work has been done to modernize while preserving the authenticity of the original materials: terracotta floors and tiles, wooden floors with forged nails, woodwork, stone fireplaces—each detail exudes the charm of yesteryear. This home takes you on a journey through time, blending medieval, classical, and 19th-century romantic eras.
With its 7 bedrooms, 5 modern bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and vast reception spaces, this château offers all the comfort needed for a large family, multigenerational living, or even a tourism project. The spacious attic, with an additional 250 m² to develop, opens up numerous possibilities for expansion.
The entrance, marked by an imposing wooden gate, and the proximity of the Romanesque church enhance the timeless charm of this property. The romantic 10,000 m² (1 hectare) park, featuring a heated pool, is a peaceful haven that also includes several outbuildings, ready to host new projects. There is even the option to later acquire more land with the renovated former sheepfold, a large additional barn, and an adjoining arboretum.
Located in an idyllic natural setting, the property is within immediate proximity to essential shops (butcher, bakery, grocery store), just a minute's walk away. A large commercial area is only 10 minutes by car, and the center of Angoulême, with its TGV station, is just 15 minutes away. The airports of Bordeaux and Limoges are 1h30 and 1h20 away, respectively.
This château is a true invitation to live a timeless dream, combining charm, history, and modern comfort.
