Property Description

Perched atop a quaint village, a mere 20-minute journey from Angoulême, this exquisite château, a 15th-century marvel, enjoys the prestigious status of a Historic Monument. Encircled by ancient stone fortifications, it is set amidst a picturesque domain of fields, forests, and agricultural land, presenting a unique chance to acquire a piece of French heritage that has been meticulously preserved. Entering through an impressive 17th-century fortified entrance, recognized as one of the region's most distinguished, the château spans roughly 850 m² of elegantly restored living space, maintaining numerous original architectural elements. The northern exterior exhibits a medieval ambiance with its towers, defensive gaps, and small towers supported by sturdy buttresses, while the south side, revamped in the 19th century, showcases a romantic 'Troubadour Gothic' style with intricate masonry and elaborate Gothic fenestration. A helical stone staircase in a polygonal tower links the upper stories, revealing expansive views of the verdant environs. Inside, the château features: • A domed entryway, opulent reception halls, dining rooms, and culinary spaces distributed over four floors. • 9 sleeping chambers, 3 washrooms, and supplementary living quarters. • A subterranean level housing wine cellars, service rooms, and workspaces. • Attic areas and adaptable spaces in the roof. The grounds host several auxiliary structures: a historic stable complex with an outdoor staircase, a sizable barn, a guardian's dwelling, ateliers, and secondary buildings. An ancient square pigeon house stands atop a prayer room on the lower level. An early Romanesque church, once serving the local parish, enhances the estate's architectural and spiritual essence. Listed as a Historic Monument, protected elements include the château and church's external walls and roofs, the pigeon house, the grand entryway, and the churchyard, which contains archaeological sites. An estate of remarkable distinction and magnitude, perfectly suited for a private home, cultural sanctuary, or conservation venture, all set against a serene, scenic backdrop with convenient city access.
