Royan Île d'Oléron Sotheby's International Realty invites you to discover a character property enjoying a setting as rare as it is poetic, in Carillon, within the commune of Cabariot, where the Boutonne River reaches the end of its journey and flows into the Charente. Ideally positioned between Saintes, Rochefort and Saint-Jean-d’Angély, the estate lies within an unspoilt landscape of meadows, mature trees and waterways. Its distinctive, almost island-like setting immediately creates an atmosphere of tranquillity and seclusion. Beyond the gates, the main residence reveals itself at the heart of its enclosed gardens. Pale stone, a traditional tiled roof, tall windows and a beautifully balanced façade embody the elegance of Charentaise architecture, complemented by a collection of outbuildings, courtyards and ancient stone walls that give the property the true scale and character of an estate. Inside, the renovation has carefully preserved the soul of the house while introducing a decidedly contemporary level of comfort. The generous reception rooms retain their timber ceilings, exposed beams and joists, as well as their original fireplaces. Natural light flows throughout the interiors, highlighting a particularly successful dialogue between historic materials, contemporary furnishings and works of art. The understated, contemporary kitchen blends seamlessly into this refined atmosphere. Upstairs, the bedrooms offer generous proportions and open views across the gardens and surrounding waterways. Original wooden floors and preserved architectural features maintain the sense of authenticity, while the bathrooms introduce a more contemporary aesthetic. Yet one of the estate’s greatest assets lies in the buildings surrounding the main residence. Several outbuildings have already been converted into independent living spaces, offering remarkable volumes where exposed stone is beautifully combined with contemporary interiors. Others remain to be reimagined, providing considerable potential to continue the estate’s story: additional guest accommodation, artists’ studios, reception areas or wellness spaces, depending on the aspirations of the future owners and subject to the necessary permissions. This versatile configuration lends itself equally well to a substantial family residence, a multi-generational home or a distinctive hospitality project, while allowing everyone to retain their privacy. Outside, enclosed gardens, terraces and historic covered structures create a succession of inviting settings. A particularly impressive open gallery beneath an ancient timber frame provides an exceptional setting for entertaining and enjoying long summer evenings. And then there is the water. Just a few steps from the house, the estate meets the banks of the Charente and reveals one of its most distinctive features: its traditional carrelet fishing hut, an iconic element of the Charente’s riverside heritage. More than simply part of the landscape, it embodies a genuine way of life. Walking down to the riverbank, watching the reflections on the water, listening to the silence and observing the changing light throughout the day lend the property an almost contemplative quality. The estate’s location also provides convenient access to Rochefort, Saintes and Saint-Jean-d’Angély, while remaining within easy reach of the Charente coastline and the Cognac region. Immediately habitable yet still offering considerable potential, this property possesses an increasingly rare quality: the opportunity to acquire an established heritage estate without inheriting a story that has already been entirely written. A historic residence, its outbuildings, enclosed gardens, traditional carrelet and, ever-present, an exceptional relationship with the water. A discreet Charentaise estate for those seeking not simply an address, but a place; not merely a property, but a way of life and a story waiting to be continued.

A CITY ADDRESS IN THE HEART OF A DESIRABLE AREAOn the right bank of Saintes, this house benefits from a particularly convenient location, with shops, schools, and services accessible on foot. The nearby SNCF train station allows direct connections to Bordeaux, La Rochelle, and Angoulême by train. By road, the motorway access facilitates travel to Rochefort, Saint-Jean d'Angély, and also provides quick access to the coast: Royan and the Atlantic beaches are about 35 minutes away, while the islands of Oléron and Ré can be reached in less than an hour.AN OLD STONE TOWN HOUSEBehind its stone façade highlighted by a sculpted cornice, this town house unfolds over two levels and 160 m² of living space. The completed renovation has preserved the identity of the place while creating a house that is decidedly functional and contemporary. The ground floor is organized around a beautiful living room of 37 square meters, benefiting from a pellet stove and a cross exposure. The bright dining room is connected to the equipped kitchen, which has been designed like a corridor. The dining table is partially sheltered under the veranda, allowing one to enjoy the view of the pool and the brightness of the outside. On this main level, a bedroom has been thoughtfully designed along with a shower room and its WC. This allows for the possibility of living exclusively on the ground floor while keeping the upstairs for family and friends. On the first floor, the sleeping area features a master bedroom with its own shower room and two other bedrooms sharing the third shower room of the house.A WARM HABITAT FOR A SIMPLE AND WORK-FREE LIFEHere, the interest also lies in everything that has already been done. The house is in excellent condition, and no work is required. The property, enclosed by walls, includes an intimate 14-square-meter pool, heated by a heat pump and protected by a retractable dome, a recent bioclimatic pergola, and outdoor spaces that are very easy to maintain. The independent double garage with motorized doors perfectly completes this set, particularly sought after in the city. This could easily be transformed into an office or professional space to accommodate clients independently of the house. A final room serves as a boiler room, pantry, and laundry room. Double glazing, electric roller shutters, central heating, a pellet stove for the pleasure of the flame, and connection to the public sewer system complete the features of this house where the charm of stone does not come with the maintenance constraints one might sometimes expect from an old house. A great opportunity to become the owner of this unique family home with comfortable volumes.
