Nestled on its 13th-century medieval foundations and surrounded by a dry moat, this breathtaking Florentine-style chateau is bound to capture your imagination. The history and charm of this majestic estate are unparalleled, offering a unique glimpse into the illustrious past. The current structure, dating back to 1614, is a testament to timeless elegance, featuring a central living area flanked by two slightly protruding pavilions. Crowned with crenellations, low-pitched roofs, and two floors of vast terraces adorned with balustrades, this chateau is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture.

The Louis XV golden salon and the monumental Renaissance staircase inside the chateau add to its grandeur, making it a true gem for history enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike.
Step inside to discover a world of opulence and comfort. The ground floor boasts a hall decorated with a stunning trompe-l’œil, two dining rooms—one with a coffered ceiling—a beautiful contemporary equipped kitchen, and a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The first floor offers six spacious bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office, and four bathrooms, providing ample space for family and guests. With a total of 570m² of living space, this chateau invites you to explore and journey through seven centuries of history.

The property overlooks the Charente Valley, offering breathtaking views that are sure to leave you in awe.
Imagine hosting grand events in the splendid outbuildings, including a large 200m² reception hall ready for use, a workshop, a garage, and a guest house awaiting renovation.
