Angoulême, Charente 16000

BARNES Propriétés & Châteaux presents for sale this authentic château from the 17th and 18th centuries, listed as a Historical Monument. Situated in the heart of a estate of about 15 hectares, bordered by the Charente, this heritage complex offers a rare, preserved living environment steeped in history. Away from any nuisance, the property enjoys a privileged rural setting, just 15 minutes from the center of Angoulême and the high-speed train station allowing access to the capital in a little over 2 hours. The first amenities are 5 minutes away. A beautiful driveway leads to the estate and opens onto the entrance porch, which opens onto a vast courtyard. Around it stand the château and its numerous dependencies, forming a closed ensemble of remarkable proportions. The different periods sit side by side in harmony, composing an architectural ensemble of character whose charm has been preserved over the centuries. The main residence retains many old decorative elements: fireplaces, 18th-century woodwork, old floors, frescoes, period staircase, and a remarkable vaulted kitchen. Generous openings extend the interior spaces with beautiful views of the gardens and the park. Reception rooms, both authentic and bright, offer generous volumes in a period setting. The upper floors accommodate no fewer than nine bedrooms. A significant part of the château remains to be restored. This configuration offers future owners the opportunity to continue enhancing this historic home and fully reveal its potential, while respecting its patrimonial character. The numerous outbuildings are another major asset of the property. Barns, old stables, a widecolonnaded awning illustrate the traditional layout of large rural properties and today offer multiple possibilities for exploitation and transformation. Subject to the necessary permissions, these spaces could notably host equestrian facilities, reception spaces, independent accommodations, workshops or various tourism-oriented projects. The estate covers about 15 hectares and comprises a landscaped park, woods and meadows. The whole benefits from a particularly preserved natural environment and enjoys the Charente on its boundary. Over the years, numerous safeguarding works have been undertaken, notably on the roofs, façades, outbuildings and certain decorative elements, helping to preserve the residence. While substantial interior works remain to be considered, the property presently offers a solid foundation for a restoration and substantial valorization project. A rare ensemble, steeped in history and with remarkable potential, just a few minutes from Angoulême. Property not subject to the DPE (Energy Performance Diagnosis).
