Elegant secluded estate set within 2.8 ha, featuring a restored manoir, 3 bed/2 bath gîte and independent 1 bed apartment. Offering 12 bedrooms in total, pool, outbuildings and landscaped grounds. Former Cognac distillery with established rental income, combining refined living, privacy and strong hospitality potential in the Charente countryside.
With no immediate neighbours and surrounded by rolling countryside and vineyards, the estate, a former Cognac distillery, provides complete tranquillity while remaining just a short drive from a lively village with shops, restaurants, schools and everyday amenities.
Set in complete privacy within approximately seven acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, this exceptional estate offers a rare combination of elegance, tranquillity and income potential. Surrounded by rolling countryside and vineyards, and with no immediate neighbours, the property enjoys absolute serenity while remaining within easy reach of local amenities.
Originally a former Cognac distillery, the estate has been carefully restored and now comprises a main manoir, a charming gîte and a fully independent apartment.
The Manoir
The main residence has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its authentic character while providing bright and refined living spaces across three generous floors.
It offers eight bedrooms and five bathrooms, including three en-suite bedrooms, one of which is located on the ground floor—ideal for guests or accessible living. The interiors combine period charm with comfort, creating a welcoming and elegant family home.
Independent apartment
A self-contained apartment with its own private entrance provides additional flexibility. It includes a bedroom, shower room, kitchen and living area, making it perfectly suited for extended family, guest accommodation or rental use (subject to necessary permissions).
The Gîte
Arranged on a single level, the gîte is equally appealing, offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms (including one en-suite), along with spacious and comfortable living areas. Private outdoor spaces enhance its independence and charm.
Both the manoir and the gîte have previously been operated as a successful holiday rental business, offering strong income potential. Any continuation of this activity would require the appropriate permissions and registration.
Outdoor living and grounds
The estate’s outdoor spaces are a true highlight. A beautifully renovated swimming pool, finished with luminescent tiles, creates a striking atmosphere, particularly in the evening.
A large open barn, equipped with electricity and toilet facilities, provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining, entertaining or hosting events. Numerous additional outbuildings offer further development potential, whether for workshops, additional accommodation or hospitality projects (subject to permissions).
The grounds extend across manicured gardens, woodland borders and open views over surrounding fields and vineyards, reinforcing the sense of peace and space.

This exceptional property offers the perfect blend of lifestyle and investment, combining the charm of the Charentaise countryside with an established rental business.
