The estate extends over approximately 15 hectares and comprises a wooded park, woods, and meadows. The whole benefits from a particularly preserved natural environment and takes advantage of the presence of the Charente at the property boundary. Over the years, numerous conservation works have been undertaken, especially on roofs, facades, outbuildings, and certain decorative elements, thus contributing to the preservation of the residence.
