Elegant 19th-C neo-Gothic château offering over 600 m² of living space, 10 bedrooms, and period details including parquet floors and stone fireplaces. Set on 3 ha with mature parkland, courtyard, and outbuildings including a renovated guest cottage and another house to renovate.

Situated near Saintes

Nestled in a verdant, park-like setting, this 19th-century neo-Gothic château captures the refined grace and architectural precision of its era. With its perfectly symmetrical façades, intricate stone sculptures, and soft tones of honeyed blond and rose, the property exudes harmony and timeless beauty.

Beyond the elegant porch lies a sunlit inner courtyard, home to a magnificent stone well and surrounded by a series of authentic outbuildings — former stables, a wine cellar, a cowshed, a workshop, and a woodshed — forming a coherent and atmospheric ensemble that speaks to the château’s rich agricultural and social past.

Offering over 600 m² of living space, the château unfolds across 14 rooms, including 10 spacious bedrooms, each preserving the charm and craftsmanship of the 19th century. Throughout the interior, period features abound: original parquet floors, tall mullioned windows, sculpted stone fireplaces, wood paneling, and decorative wall coverings that evoke a sense of romantic grandeur.

The ground floor opens onto a grand entrance hall paved with antique tiles, leading to several luminous reception rooms, including a large dining room ideal for family gatherings or elegant soirées. The existing layout includes a bathroom, but the generous proportions offer scope to create multiple en-suite bedrooms or further reception spaces.

The outbuildings significantly enhance the estate’s potential. While some require restoration, they include barns, workshops, and a vast wine cellar, along with an independent farmhouse to renovate and a converted guest cottage that blends period character with modern comfort — ideal for guests or caretakers.

The château sits at the heart of 2.97 hectares (7.3 acres) of land, composed of mature parkland, meadows, and shaded glades. An old well and two rainwater collectors underline the property’s self-sufficient spirit, while the surrounding landscape ensures peace, privacy, and a natural balance between architecture and environment.

Additional features include wood-burning stoves in several rooms, an individual sanitation system, and single-glazed windows in the main house (the guest house is double-glazed).

Both romantic and majestic, this château is a rare example of neo-Gothic architecture preserved in its full splendour — a perfect setting for a family estate, cultural retreat, or heritage restoration project. Each stone, sculpted arch, and carved detail tells a story, inviting new owners to write the next chapter of its remarkable history.
