Rebuilt on its 13th-century medieval foundations and surrounded by a dry moat, this magnificent Florentine-style chateau will captivate you not only with its history and illustrious past but also with its beauty and charm.
The current structure dates back to 1614, 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 that highlight its perspective.
These elements, typical of a noble residence from the Renaissance era, are listed on the supplementary inventory of historical monuments, including the Louis XV golden salon and the monumental Renaissance staircase found inside the chateau.
On the ground floor, you will also find 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 its en-suite bathroom.
The first floor offers six large bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and four bathrooms, providing ample space for the owners to accommodate family and friends or to welcome guests in an enchanting setting. A total of 570m² of living space invites you to explore and journey through seven centuries of history.
A chateau worthy of its name yet human-sized, offering all modern comforts.
The vaulted cellars offer no less than 250m² and, thanks to openings to the lower terraces, are perfect for organizing events or converting into additional living spaces.
The property overlooks the Charente Valley, offering breathtaking views. The 8.3-hectare grounds include a park with beautiful ancient trees and unique species like a weeping Japanese pagoda tree, labeled as a 'remarkable tree.'
The estate also features splendid outbuildings, including a large 200m² reception hall ready for use, a workshop, a garage, and a guest house to renovate, providing tremendous potential.
The heated pool, enclosed by walls, and a gothic pigeon house, formerly used as a chapel with its altar, complete this unique property.
Ideally located just 10 minutes from the city of Angoulême with its TGV station offering quick connections to Paris and Bordeaux, and 5 minutes from villages with all local amenities.
Exceptional!
