Bella Casa Padronale Con 2 Cottage A 15 Minuti Da Saintes

Royan Île d’Oléron Sotheby’s International Realty invites you to discover a residence steeped in history, character and cherished memories—an authentic former Cognac distillery dating back to 1880, lovingly passed down through generations and now ready to begin a new chapter in its remarkable story.

Ideally located just 10 minutes from Saintes and 30 minutes from the Atlantic coastline, the property enjoys a privileged setting in the heart of the Charente countryside, offering peace and privacy while remaining close to the region’s main attractions and amenities.

Behind its authentic façades, the manor house reveals generous living spaces and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Upon entering, an elegant hallway leads to the reception rooms, including a gracious living room and dining room designed for convivial gatherings and family moments. A ground-floor bedroom with washroom facilities allows for single-level living, while a kitchen and a shower room with WC complete this floor.

To the rear of the house, a delightful shaded terrace provides the perfect setting for enjoying long summer days beneath the canopy of centuries-old trees, silent witnesses to the estate’s rich heritage.

Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms await, three of which benefit from their own private washroom facilities. A large family bathroom and separate WC complete this level. Above, the attic offers considerable additional potential for conversion and adaptation to suit a variety of future projects.

The roof of the main residence has been entirely renovated in recent years, providing future owners with both peace of mind and long-term security.

Set within more than 7,000 sqm of beautifully preserved grounds, entirely secluded from overlooking neighbours, the estate is surrounded by a lush and tranquil environment. Nestled within the park are two independent guest cottages, perfectly integrated into the property. Whether accommodating family and friends, developing a hospitality business, or creating additional living spaces, they offer exceptional flexibility. The first cottage features three bedrooms, while the second offers two bedrooms; each benefits from its own living area, kitchen and shower room.

The numerous outbuildings further enhance the property’s character and potential. Former stables, a traditional bread oven, a large covered barn, workshop, wine cellar and laundry room form a rare ensemble capable of supporting a wide range of personal, professional or event-related projects.

Today, this unique property simply awaits owners eager to breathe new life into its walls. Whether envisioned as a family estate, a reception venue, a hospitality venture or a legacy property to be passed down through generations, the possibilities are abundant within this authentic setting where the charm of the past harmoniously meets the ambitions of tomorrow.

A rare opportunity to become the custodian of an exceptional piece of Charente heritage.
