BUSINESS POTENTIAL

An Exceptional Historic Estate Awaiting Revival.

Nestled in the heart of a magnificent park with century-old trees, this remarkable estate combines a late 18th-century manor house with a stunning 19th-century château built shortly after the Second Empire by renowned architect Paul Abadie. Time seems to have stood still in the château, where a grand entrance hall, elegant reception rooms, chandeliers, marble floors, period fireplaces and original wood panelling reflect the splendour of the late 19th century.
The manor house, offering approximately 400 m² (4,300 sq ft) of living space and still occupied today, boasts original parquet floors, stone flagstones, historic fireplaces and seven bedrooms. Former Cognac cellars, still in use until the 1980s, complete the estate and testify to its rich wine-making heritage.
A rare opportunity, ideal for a family residence, hospitality venture, cultural project, event venue or business enterprise.

A Distinguished French Estate of Rare Heritage and Exceptional Potential

Set within almost 9 hectares (22 acres) of magnificent private parkland, much of it enclosed by historic stone walls, this outstanding family estate presents a rare opportunity to acquire a significant piece of French architectural heritage. The property comprises an elegant 19th-century château, an authentic 18th-century manor house, extensive former wine and Cognac buildings, and a collection of historic outbuildings.

Constructed around 1875, the château is a remarkable example of French historic architecture. Its striking façade, combining limestone, brick and slate, reflects a sophisticated blend of Renaissance inspiration and classical refinement. Mullioned windows, richly carved stonework and numerous ornamental chimneys contribute to its distinguished character.

Extending to more than 650 m² (7,000 sq ft) across three principal floors, the château remains remarkably untouched, preserving the atmosphere and grandeur of a bygone age. A spectacular entrance hall leads to a suite of elegant reception rooms, grand salons, a billiard room and formal dining room, all distinguished by generous proportions and impressive ceiling heights. Original parquet floors, finely crafted wood panelling, period fireplaces and decorative features have survived in exceptional condition. The château offers 12 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, extensive service areas and convertible attic space, providing an extraordinary canvas for a private residence, luxury hospitality project or prestigious retreat.

The 18th-century manor house, still occupied by its current owners, offers over 400 m² (4,300 sq ft) of living accommodation. Rich in authenticity, it features elegant reception rooms, seven bedrooms, original fireplaces, stone floors and traditional architectural details characteristic of the region. Sensitive refurbishment would further enhance its charm and comfort.

The estate also retains important reminders of its prosperous agricultural and wine-producing past. Former wine and Cognac cellars of approximately 400 m², substantial barns, caretaker's houses and a historic well contribute to the exceptional scale and versatility of the property.

Rarely does an estate of such architectural significance, historical integrity and development potential come to market. Whether envisioned as a prestigious private domain, a luxury hospitality destination, an exclusive events venue, or a landmark heritage restoration project, this remarkable property offers a unique opportunity to create an enduring legacy in one of France's most desirable regions.
