Built in the 18th and 19th centuries, this characterful estate features a magnificent 500 m2 château flanked by two medieval towers. Accompanied by numerous outbuildings, it is set in 8 hectares of wooded grounds on the edge of a charming hamlet, close to the dynamic city center of Angoulême.Overlooking the Natura 2000-listed Échelle valley, its charm is apparent from the moment you arrive, crossing a stone footbridge over deep dry moats, at the height of a 12th-century tower covered in ivy. The hallway instantly offers a view of the promontory terrace, suspended above the moat and underground passages that run behind the building.In contrast to the imposing, timeless exterior, the interior of the château evokes a country house on a human scale. The current owners have undertaken a sensitive and respectful renovation in a refined style, allowing the history and patina of the place to shine through, in keeping with the aesthetic of their family business: Les Petites Emplettes. The interior design approach is to let volumes and textures express themselves, enriching them with natural materials and, above all, inviting light to flow through the large windows, capturing the surrounding nature at every moment. Raised on three levels, the ground floor mainly houses north-south living rooms bathed in light. This light is reflected on the white shellstone walls, punctuated by original doors painted in a timeless green. The eclectic floors combine hexagonal terracotta tiles, speckled checkerboard tiles from the 1950s, and wide wooden floorboards. An elm staircase with elegant ironwork follows the curves of the stone wall and serves the four levels, from the cellars to the attic, generously distributing the spaces, including eight bedrooms, their adjoining rooms, and three bathrooms. The top level, with exposed beams, offers a panoramic view of the picturesque surrounding landscape.To the west of the château, a U-shaped farmhouse houses more than 1,500 m2 of outbuildings. These buildings, witnesses to the rural activity of yesteryear, include barns, dwellings, workshops, and stables, some of which have been renovated. On one side of the green courtyard, a spectacularly spacious barn has been converted into a multipurpose showroom and guinguette, spread over three levels and 300 m2. A magnificent, fully restored wooden frame blends harmoniously with the freshly repointed stone walls, sanded concrete floor, and contemporary steel joinery.Opposite, an outbuilding has been converted into a cottage-style gîte. This little cocoon embodies the same values of light and materials, with a contemporary touch upstairs, clad in poplar plywood. The ground floor features a cozy living room around a Godin stove, a sunny bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and upstairs, a mezzanine dormitory with a second bedroom and bathroom. It is impossible to describe everything, as the place is so rich in inspiration and potential. The possibilities are endless for bringing these old buildings steeped in history to life, transforming them, and enhancing them.ARCHIK's teams of architects are at your disposal to assist you in transforming this unique property and adapting it to your desires and uses.A poetic place of yesteryear, timeless and unique, which unpretentiously expresses its history through the ages.

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.

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. Not far from Angoulême, this property is 10 minutes from a shopping area (Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, etc.), while the nearest shops are within walking distance.

In Charente, at the gates of Angoulême, a Charente residence from the 19th century, its outbuildings, and its swimming pool on 3 hectares of wooded land. The building complex is organized according to the traditional layout of old Charente farms: a main living building, extended and framed by outbuildings forming a semi-closed courtyard in a U-shape. The main house, built of rendered stone, features a sober architecture topped with a hip roof, inspired by rural styles. The arrangement of the façade, punctuated by regular openings, reflects a pursuit of balance rather than grandeur. The discreet but structuring window frames emphasize the rigor of the composition. The roof of the outbuildings, with its two slopes, follows the local tradition, with a moderate pitch suited to the region's climate. The clear and readable volumes testify to a construction designed to last, where each element serves a specific function. On either side, the outbuildings—barns, stables, and annexes—exhibit a more rugged form. Their generous proportions, large openings, and frameworks reflect their original agricultural purpose. The U-shape layout is not merely functional: it creates a protected inner courtyard that is almost intimate, sheltered from prying eyes. Thus, the whole forms a small coherent and hierarchical territory in itself, where living and working once coexisted in harmony.This description has been automatically translated from French.
