Exceptional Manoir and estate set in 7 acres
Set in absolute privacy within approximately seven acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, this exceptional manoir, gîte and independent apartment offer a rare blend of elegance, serenity and income potential. With no immediate neighbours and surrounded by rolling countryside and vineyards, the estate, a former Cognac distillery, provides complete tranquillity while remaining just a short drive from a lively village with shops, restaurants, schools and everyday amenities.
The Manoir:
Lovingly restored to preserve its authentic character, the main residence spans three generous floors, offering bright and refined living spaces throughout.
8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, including 3 en-suite bedrooms (one of the bedrooms with en-suite is on the ground floor, ideal for guests or accessible living)
A self-contained apartment with a private entrance, consisting of 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom with shower, kitchen and living room making it perfect for extended family, guest accommodation or rental income (subject to the necessary permissions).
The Gîte:
Arranged on a single level, the gîte is equally inviting and well-appointed with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (1 en-suite), spacious living areas with a welcoming atmosphere and lovely private outdoor spaces.
Both properties have been successfully operated as a holiday rental business, providing excellent income potential. Any future owner wishing to continue this activity will need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration.
Outdoor Living:
The estate truly shines outdoors.
A beautifully renovated swimming pool finished with luminescent tiles, creating a magical evening glow
A large open barn, perfectly suited for al fresco dining and entertaining, equipped with electricity and toilet facilities for modern convenience. Whether hosting summer gatherings or enjoying peaceful evenings under the stars, the setting is simply exceptional.
Numerous additional outbuildings offer exciting possibilities for further development, workshops, events, or additional rental accommodation (subject to permissions).
The expansive grounds include manicured gardens, woodland borders and open views across fields and vineyards.
This rare turnkey estate offers the opportunity to combine the Charentaise lifestyle with an established business in one of France’s most sought after regions.
All the house and gite contents/furniture available by separate negotiation.

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.
