Step into this exquisite estate, greeted by a grand entrance gate that leads to a splendid courtyard featuring an authentic dovecote and 400m² of outbuildings. The primary residence, dating back to 1764, boasts an air of both grandeur and undeniable allure. Inside, numerous original elements have been meticulously maintained, including oak parquet flooring and wooden beams, magnificent stone fireplaces, well-preserved antique tiles, and the distinctive 'cœur de demoiselles' floor in the kitchen. The dovecote, which adjoins this splendid home, along with the L-shaped outbuildings where cognac was historically produced (the press and aging barrel for eau-de-vie still stand as silent witnesses), imbue this property with character and prestige. The house provides a sense of exceptional space and comfort, featuring 7 bedrooms, including an impressive 40m² master suite, and 4 bathrooms. The original kitchen, spacious dining room, and light-filled living room, which also offers direct access to the expansive garden with a pool, add to its unique charm. The property spans 5800m², fully enclosed, ensuring complete privacy while still being close to the village center. The village offers all essential amenities, and just 15 minutes away, you'll find Angoulême with its TGV station providing rapid connections to Paris and Bordeaux. Easy access to the N10 allows you to reach Bordeaux Airport in 1 hour and 15 minutes, with a wide array of nearby shopping centers. Angoulême is a vibrant city, perfect for enjoyable stays and offering activities year-round. You will appreciate the charming streets lined with numerous restaurants and bars, the bustling covered market where you can sample local specialties, as well as the authentic old town adorned with historical treasures. Angoulême is a cultural hotspot with its renowned festivals such as the 'circuit des remparts,' the comic book festival, the Francophone film festival, and Les Gastronomades. The proximity to such an enchanting city makes life in South-Charente even more appealing!
