Remarkable former Cognac distillery near Cognac, beautifully renovated and arranged around a private courtyard. Exceptional reception spaces, preserved distillation equipment and full basement. Enclosed garden with heated pool and stone outbuilding, plus second house to renovate, offering outstanding residential and professional potential.
In the heart of a charming village just minutes from Cognac, this exceptional property captures the history and spirit of the region. Once a prestigious Cognac distillery, the estate has recently undergone a comprehensive renovation that carefully preserves its heritage while introducing modern comfort and refined architectural finishes.
Behind impressive gates and a striking entrance archway, the property opens onto a harmonious architectural ensemble arranged around a central courtyard. This elegant configuration creates a private and tranquil environment despite its central village location. Its favourable east–west orientation ensures generous natural light throughout the day.
The interior spaces impress with their scale, clarity of layout and architectural presence. Expansive reception rooms offer remarkable versatility, allowing the property to function equally well as a distinguished family residence, a venue for entertaining, a gallery or exhibition space, or a tasting and hospitality setting linked to the region’s renowned wine and spirits culture. The arrangement of the buildings also lends itself naturally to the establishment of a professional activity or liberal profession while maintaining the privacy of the residential areas.
The renovation has been carried out to a high technical and aesthetic standard, highlighting noble materials including marble finishes and refined detailing. The conversion extends to the upper level beneath the eaves, creating additional living space while maintaining the character of the original structure. Beneath the entire property lies a full basement level providing extensive technical rooms and storage facilities.
A distinctive feature of the estate is the preservation of the original distillation equipment, carefully retained as a testament to the property's historic function and adding unique authenticity to the setting.
Outside, the enclosed garden offers a peaceful green retreat centred around a heated swimming pool measuring 10 by 3 metres. A charming stone outbuilding provides further possibilities and could easily be converted into a summer kitchen, reception area or leisure space. In addition, a second independent house on the property, ready for renovation, offers further scope for guest accommodation, rental income or expansion of professional activities.
Combining architectural heritage, impressive volumes and exceptional versatility, this rare property represents a unique opportunity for those seeking a distinctive residence or a project with both lifestyle and professional potential in one of the most emblematic regions of western France.
