South-West France between the Cognac vineyards and the Gironde estuary
Some properties are best discovered quietly.
In a confidential village of the Charente, this rare residence has stood since 1876, its towers and arcaded façades reflecting one of the most distinctive architectural sensibilities of the late 19th century. It was designed by a scholar of his era a man drawn to Andalusia, to travel, to the Alhambra and belongs to that small group of French country houses where Moorish and Orientalist references entered the vernacular of Romantic architecture.
The construction is uncompromising. Walls of dressed stone, fifty centimetres thick (around 20 inches), keep the interiors cool through the long South-Western summers. Arched windows draw the light deep into the rooms, across original parquet floors. The corner towers each contain a bathroom an unusual signature of the house. The façades carry stone tracery and blind arcading: the quiet, geometric grammar of Moorish-inspired design, handled here with restraint rather than theatre.
Set within a walled park of just under one hectare (approximately 2.4 acres), the residence offers approximately 222 sqm (2,390 sqft) of living space across four levels: 9 principal rooms, 7 bedrooms, several bathrooms, two reception-and-kitchen spaces, and a finished attic level beneath the roof. The proportions are generous; the circulation, intuitive.
The grounds include a heated swimming pool with motorised cover, set within mature, romantic gardens. A separate 64 sqm (690 sqft) outbuilding offers further scope guest accommodation, studio, wellness pavilion and a second structure stands among the trees.
The property currently operates as a high-end seasonal rental (twelve guests, annual income in the region of 30,000), and is fully prepared for its next chapter: a country residence of character, a prestige guesthouse, or a discreet venue for private events and writers' retreats. Every element is in place.
45 minutes from Cognac. One hour from Bordeaux. Two hours from the Atlantic coast.
Guide price: 620,000 agency fees included, payable by the vendor.
EPC: Class F. Full diagnostic and energy audit reports available.
