Exclusively, just 15 minutes from Angoulême and its TGV station connecting to Paris in 1 hour 45 minutes, the Château de La Rochandry stands majestically on its rocky spur, having watched over the verdant Boëme Valley for centuries. Listed as a Historic Monument, it embodies the history and prestige of the grand Charente residences. Rebuilt in the 19th century on the foundations of an old fortified castle, it offers approximately 890 m² of living space and a subtle balance between architectural character and modern comfort. From the moment you enter, the tone is set: a magnificent 70 m² hall is enlivened by a double-helix staircase. The reception rooms – living room, library, dining room – benefit from generous proportions and abundant natural light. The eat-in kitchen and service areas harmoniously complete the ground floor. Upstairs, a gallery leads to several bedrooms, a boudoir, a dressing room, and shower rooms or bathrooms, creating a structured and elegant sleeping area. The second floor offers additional bedrooms as well as rooms that can be adapted to suit various needs: extra suites, workspaces, workshops, or a games room. A large attic offers further development potential. Heritage features enhance the uniqueness of the property: stained-glass windows bearing coats of arms, a vaulted room, an underground passage beneath the building, an adjoining chapel… Every detail evokes the soul of the château. The outbuildings – a guest house, a barn, sheds, and workshops – offer a multitude of possibilities. The estate extends over nearly 10 hectares of meadows and woods crossed by the Boeme River, with a swimming pool and an old windmill, in a protected natural setting. A rare property, both majestic and intimate, ideal for an ambitious family project or as a reception residence in the heart of the Charente region. Agency fees: 5% including VAT, payable by the buyer. Price excluding agency fees: €1,650,000.

Just 15 minutes from the Angoulême TGV station (Paris in 1 hour 45 minutes), nestled in a protected natural setting, this château, built in 1746 and remodeled in the 19th century, exudes all the elegance of grand French family homes. Offering approximately 900 sq m of living space, it boasts nearly thirty rooms, including 15 bedrooms complemented by 3 anterooms, several adjoining reception rooms, and a chapel.

The estate extends over approximately 40 hectares in a single block, offering complete privacy and unobstructed 360° views from the façade. It includes landscaped parkland, woods, bridle paths, and a promenade leading to a belvedere with panoramic views overlooking the surrounding countryside.
