Located 15 minutes from Angoulême, a city of art and history, and the TGV train station, this charming and characterful little castle has remained in the same family for centuries. Standing next to a charming Romanesque church and a splendid lime tree, from the top of its rock, it overlooks a wooded and hilly valley : the view is splendid and breathtaking. It is nestled in a green setting, while the village and all shops (butcher, bakery, and convenience store open 7 days a week) are a one-minute walk away. The property is also close to many hiking trails. The owners have taken great care to restore their property while respecting its character. The floors have been preserved (terracotta tiles, rammed earth, and forged nail-worked floors). You will journey through the ages, from prehistory (a cave and its silos carved into the rock below), through the medieval and classical periods, to the romantic 19th century. Built in the 13th century, then modified in the 15th and 18th centuries, the castle offers on the ground floor a kitchen with a terracotta floor, a dining room with a wooden floor and fireplace, an entrance hall with a terracotta floor with a main wooden staircase and rammed earth floor. This room gives access to a shower room with a small bedroom above, as well as a first boiler room with an oil and wood boiler. You then enter the music room with a wooden fireplace, on parquet flooring with Persian walnut paneling. At the end of the hallway with terracotta tiles, a bedroom has been converted into the old kitchen, revealing a superb fireplace with a rotisserie and a hexagonal terracotta floor. The hallway also gives access to a shower room and a second boiler room with an oil boiler. From the courtyard, another entrance on a stone slab, with a wooden service staircase, and a WC at the end, gives access to a small apartment comprising a bedroom on the ground floor (the Blasons bedroom) and a bedroom on the mezzanine, as well as an adjoining shower room with WC, and a private courtyard. On the first floor, the wooden landing opens onto a red bed bedroom with parquet flooring and a fireplace, along with a large bathroom/shower/WC with ship's-deck parquet flooring. Above the vestibule, a library corridor with wooden flooring leads to a living room with oak flooring and a fireplace. The staircase in the tower is used as a cabinet of curiosities and provides access below to a study. On the other side of the corridor, a dining room converted from a former bedroom, with parquet flooring and a fireplace, features a small kitchen and an adjoining bathroom. A corridor with stairs leads to a bedroom with wooden flooring and a fireplace, and to a medieval bedroom with wooden flooring and a fireplace, with a private bathroom and WC, also accessible via the service staircase. The second floor contains the attic, a bedroom, a bathroom, and another room. The castle's roofs are very recent (from 2011 to 2018), and the tiles are all fixed to prevent the roof caps from slipping. The barns benefited from the same precautions during the renovations in 2018 and 2023. The sanitation system is to be redone, with the possibility of connecting to the communal network. A charming old sheepfold could inspire many projects (yoga room, guest house, etc.). Comprising approximately 100 sq.mt of living space on one level, it features a large living room with an open kitchen (53 sq.mt), two bedrooms, a laundry room, a bathroom/shower room, and a separate toilet. Many outbuildings allow for the realization of beautiful projects: barns on the sheepfold side, and a garage and a barn on the church side. The romantic garden features a beautiful masonry swimming pool (13.50 x 4.50), built in 2012 and heated by a Zodiac heat pump. The gray liner is new (June 2024) and of superior quality (90° thickness), with glass and chlorine filtration. Nearly 14 hectares of woods and meadows surround the property. Note the presence of a well and a 60 m³ rainwater tank.

True luxury is rarely measured in square metres. Sometimes it is found in a place where time seems to have stood still, yet every modern comfort has been thoughtfully embraced. Nestled at the end of a peaceful hamlet, just ten minutes from Angoulême and only 12 km from the TGV station, this beautiful Charentaise country house enjoys an exceptional setting. Surrounded by open countryside, with nothing but birdsong and the gentle sounds of nature, it offers a rare sense of peace, privacy and space. Beyond its stone walls, the house reveals a remarkable blend of authenticity and contemporary comfort. Original stonework, exposed timber and generous proportions sit effortlessly alongside carefully considered modern renovations. Every improvement has been carried out with sensitivity, preserving the character of the property while creating a home designed for today's way of living. At its heart lies an impressive double-height living room beneath a magnificent exposed roof structure. The fireplace, wood-burning stove and mezzanine create an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming — equally suited to entertaining family and friends or enjoying quiet evenings by the fire. Flowing naturally from the reception room, the spacious, light-filled kitchen forms the true heart of the home. Designed with premium materials and high-quality appliances, it combines beauty, practicality and warmth. It is a space created not only for cooking, but for sharing everyday life and memorable moments around the table. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to offer both generous living areas and complete privacy. An independent section of the house provides ideal accommodation for family and guests, a home office, or the opportunity to generate additional rental income without compromising the harmony of the property. Outside, the landscaped gardens of approximately 3,600 m² have been designed to be enjoyed rather than maintained. The swimming pool, shaded terraces and open views across the surrounding countryside create an environment that changes beautifully with the seasons. Here, the feeling of space comes not from the size of the grounds, but from the unspoilt landscape that surrounds them. What truly sets this property apart, however, is the extraordinary level of care it has received over the years. Every improvement has been undertaken not out of necessity, nor in preparation for a sale, but from a genuine desire to preserve and enhance this remarkable home. The result is a property that combines timeless character with exceptional modern comfort. A historic Charentaise home that has gracefully embraced the present while preserving the soul of its past. Agency fees are payable by the buyer, amounting to 4.00% including VAT of the price excluding fees.
