Exceptional 7-Bedroom Charentaise Home with Restored Pigeonnier guest suite, Stone Cottage to finish, Pool & Panoramic Views
Set in the heart of the Charente countryside, surrounded by rolling vineyards and golden sunflower fields, this beautifully renovated property offers charm, space, and remarkable versatility—perfect for an extended family home, luxurious holiday retreat, or income-generating estate.
The main house boasts seven bedrooms arranged over three character-filled levels. On the ground floor, a large, light-filled kitchen/diner, a charming conservatory, and a spacious beamed salon offer generous and inviting living spaces. There are also two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a large utility/laundry room.
Upstairs, the elegant master suite features a luxurious Victorian-style roll top bath, with two further bedrooms and a family shower room. The original elm staircase leads to the top floor, home to two more beamed bedrooms, a large shower room, and a peaceful reading nook with truly breathtaking views across the Charentais countryside.
The current owners have lovingly restored the ancient pigeonnier to create a charming independent guest suite, complete with kitchen, sitting room, and shower room on the ground floor and a cosy bedroom tucked under the eaves— ideal for guests or holiday rentals (possible gite business - subject to necessary permissions).
Within the extensive grounds of nearly a hectare (approx. 2.5 acres) lies a partially renovated stone house, almost transformed into a spacious one-bedroom cottage offering the possibility of further accommodation or letting potential. There’s also a very large barn, ideal for storage or future development (subject to any necessary permissions).
At the heart of the outdoor space is the superb 10m x 5m swimming pool, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the expansive, uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside. Truly, paradise found.
Perfectly situated just 15 minutes from the picturesque village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, officially one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, with its stunning monolithic church and sandy river beach. The bustling village of Saint-Séverin, with shops, restaurants, and banking services, is just 5 minutes away, while the vibrant market towns of Chalais and Ribérac are within a 20-minute drive.
Airports: Bergerac 70km | Bordeaux approx. 100km
A rare opportunity to own a substantial, character-filled property in one of southwest France’s most beautiful locations.

If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
