A 13 Th Century Château With Medieval Towers On 8 Hectares, Minutes From Angoulême

Elite Group Real Estate is delighted to present, just ten minutes from Angoulême, a château overlooking the Échelle valley, a protected Natura 2000 site, set at the heart of an estate of more than 8 hectares (approximately 20 acres). Flanked by two medieval towers dating from the 13th century and remodelled in the 19th century for greater comfort, it offers 480 m² (approx. 5,170 sq ft) of living space and eight bedrooms. Far from the solemn image one might have of a château, this residence charms with the harmony of its spaces and décor, and exudes a rare sense of well-being: that of a home that is deeply lived in.

The Château (480 m² of living space)

On the ground floor, the entrance opens directly onto a laundry room and a kitchen flowing into its dining room. Generous hallways then lead to a living room, a second dining room and a library.

On the first floor, a landing designed as a true living space serves a bedroom with its own bathroom and WC, a second bedroom with a dressing room, a third bedroom, a fourth bedroom extended by a room that could serve as a dressing room or study, as well as a shower room with WC.

On the second floor, another landing conceived as a living area serves a large bedroom, a second bedroom, a shower room with WC, an additional room and a study. A further hallway leads to two more bedrooms.

Finally, the third level houses a reading lounge, a peaceful retreat at the very top of the house.

The Outbuildings (approx. 1,500 m²)

Arranged in a U-shape behind the château, the outbuildings comprise barns, stables, workshops, sheds and a former press house, offering considerable potential for any residential, hospitality or business project.

The Gîte (guest cottage, approx. 110 m²)

On the ground floor, a living area with an open-plan kitchen warmed by a wood-burning stove, a bedroom and a bathroom with WC. Upstairs, a lovely living space, a bedroom and a shower room with WC. A charming setting in which to welcome family, friends or guests.

The Reception Spaces

A large reception hall of more than 110 m², with beautiful exposed stone walls, lends itself equally well to dinners and exhibitions. A second hall of around 190 m², designed for entertaining across three levels connected by landings, currently hosts tastings, parties and festive events. An office area with several storage rooms completes the ensemble.

The Estate (more than 8 hectares)

Meadows, woodland, a stream, terraced gardens and former moats carved into the rock form a preserved natural setting, with beautiful views across the valley.
