Barnes Properties and Castles offers you the opportunity to acquire in Charente-Maritime (17), ideally located 10 minutes from Saintes, 45 minutes from Île d'Oléron, 30 minutes from Royan, this ISMH medieval castle, a major witness to the history of Saintonge. Dating back to the 14th century, the castle still features a fortified enclosure, surrounded by high walls pierced with arrow slits, supported by square and round towers, and surrounded by dry moats. Access to the enclosure is provided by a double drawbridge leading to the majestic pointed door and its postern. In the inner courtyard, the main house and outbuildings are backed against the wall. Of the three stair towers, two remain, the third only leading to the remarkable vaulted rooms in the now-destroyed southern wing, such as the keep. The main living area is immediately habitable and rises over 2 levels. On the ground floor: entrance, large living room of 60 m² with fireplace, small living room, dining room, kitchen. Upstairs, accessible by a spiral staircase and a wooden staircase, you will find no less than 6 bedrooms, a library, and 3 shower rooms. The second living area is also fitted out and served as a reception space during events held on site. The property extends over 1.04 hectares, including the enclosure, dry moats, and some adjacent plots. This castle, registered in the Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments, saved from complete ruin by the current owners, is now waiting for a new enthusiast to take up the torch. Property not subject to DPE (Historical Monument). Complete dossier available on request. Property presented by Jan-Erik ALDERLIESTE +33(0)6 ....
