Set in the very heart of the Cognac vineyards, just a few kilometres from the historic town of Cognac, this remarkable Maison de Maître offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial heritage estate immersed in one of France’s most emblematic terroirs. Surrounded on all sides by gently rolling vines, the property enjoys open views, exceptional light and an atmosphere deeply rooted in the traditions of wine and Cognac production.

More than a simple residence, this is a true estate project, intended for a discerning buyer seeking authenticity, architectural substance and long-term value creation.

The Estate
The property extends over approximately 3.4 hectares and is organised around two central courtyards, giving the ensemble a clear, harmonious and functional layout typical of historic Charente wine estates. Stone buildings, generous volumes and agricultural structures form a coherent whole, offering both architectural presence and remarkable potential.

Residential Buildings
The estate includes three separate dwellings:
- The Maison de Maître (approx. 640 m²), a substantial and elegant residence with classic proportions and generous volumes. It offers six bedrooms and large reception spaces, reflecting the noble simplicity of traditional Charente architecture. High ceilings, period features and natural light give the house a refined yet authentic character, ideal for a grand private home or hospitality use.
- An independent apartment, suitable for guests, staff accommodation or rental use.
- A single-storey house to renovate, offering further potential for an independent guest house, gîte, caretaker’s accommodation or professional use, depending on the future owner’s project.

Outbuildings & Viticultural Heritage
Completing the estate are numerous outbuildings that bear witness to its wine-producing past:
- Several open barns arranged around the main courtyard
- A closed barn
- Former distillery, rich in character
- Vast wine storehouse (chai) with impressive volumes, lending itself to multiple future uses (event space, reception hall, storage, or conversion subject to permissions)

These structures offer exceptional scope for redevelopment while preserving the authentic spirit of the place.

Setting & Atmosphere
Entirely surrounded by vineyards, the property benefits from total immersion in the Cognac landscape. The distinctive Charente light, the open horizons and the sensory presence of the vines create a setting that is both peaceful and deeply evocative. Here, the rhythm of the seasons, harvests and cellars defines the atmosphere, offering a rare sense of place.

A Project with Vision
The estate requires significant renovation, allowing the future owner to reimagine and enhance the property according to their aspirations. Whether as:
- a prestigious private residence,
- multi-generational family estate,
- high-end guest house or hospitality project,
- or a combined residential and professional venture,
This property represents a genuine value-creation opportunity in a region where large historic vineyard estates have become increasingly rare.

This is a property for an informed and inspired buyer—someone drawn to historic stone architecture, courtyard estates, generous volumes and the strong identity of place. Anchored in one of Western France’s most celebrated terroirs, this Maison de Maître offers the foundations for an exceptional long-term project, combining heritage, authenticity and ambition
