Nestled on the fringe of an idyllic village in Charente, this captivating estate gazes upon the serene Échelle Valley, distinguished as a Natura 2000 site for its exceptional biodiversity. An enclave for enthusiasts of nature, historical richness, and genuine charm, the estate sprawls across over 8 hectares, featuring lush meadows, dense woodlands, babbling brooks, an elevated garden, and ancient dry moats etched into the bedrock. It stands as a lively, inspirational sanctuary—ideal for a grand family residence, an artist's retreat, a venue for gatherings, or a unique boutique hotel venture. The centerpiece, a majestic château, spans roughly 500 m² of habitable space (with possibilities to extend up to 600 m²). It captivates with its spaciousness and the abundance of natural light that permeates each room through large, strategically placed windows. Across its three floors, the home boasts eight bedrooms, numerous luminous living areas, a sophisticated dining room, a kitchen brimming with character, a library, and ample storage. Historical elements add to its allure: vintage hardwood floors, weathered terracotta tiles, intricate cornices, fireplaces in stone and decorative wood, and an exquisite elm staircase winding along the stone wall. Each room offers a peaceful retreat—many with breathtaking views of the valley. Encompassed by two ancient towers, the structure's heritage traces back to the 13th century, with a 19th-century renovation marrying historical allure with modern comforts. Adjacent to the château, a remarkable array of outbuildings covers over 1,500 m² on the ground floor. Configured in a U-shape, this complex includes barns, stables, workshops, winemaking facilities, and versatile spaces. Two have been elegantly renovated: a 105 m² exhibition space and a 180 m² guinguette-style venue, perfect for hosting various events. The stand-alone guesthouse, dubbed 'La Maisonnette,' provides roughly 115 m² of quaint, fashionable living space: an open-concept living area with a wood-burning stove, limewashed stone walls, visible beams, and three bedrooms, two with private baths. It's an intimate, inviting abode for hosting friends, guests, or holiday renters. Merely a 10-minute drive from Angoulême, a city celebrated for its cultural vibrancy and festivals. This location offers convenient access to the TGV for Paris (2h), Bordeaux (30 mins), Roissy-CDG (3h), Tours, or Lille. The adjacent village caters to everyday needs. An extraordinary chance for a multitude of possibilities—a dwelling, a haven for guests, a creative space, and a place of communal gathering. A personal legacy within a spectacular natural landscape.
