Ref. OD1013 - Nestled in the heart of the idyllic French countryside, this breathtaking 16th-century logis is an absolute treasure. The magnificent Maison de Maitre, spanning 600m², offers a haven of luxury with multiple reception rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, 7 spacious bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms.
Upon entering the impressive 36m² entrance hall, you'll be greeted by the charm of authentic stone floors, evoking the allure of a bygone era. Moving through the property, you'll discover a grand salon spanning a remarkable 55m², alongside a cozier 46m² salon, both adorned with authentic stone floors and high ceilings. The dining room, measuring 27m², exudes elegance with its light oak parquet flooring and a quaint stove set within a white "Louis XV" mantelpiece, perfect for hosting intimate gatherings or family feasts.
The generously sized, 68m² fully fitted kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and offers ample space for culinary delights and entertaining guests. Throughout the property, a seamless fusion of historic charm and modern convenience is evident, with beautifully preserved original features that harken back to its illustrious past.
Set on an expansive 25-acre estate, surrounded by lush greenery and devoid of neighbors, the property provides unparalleled privacy and seclusion, making it an ideal venue for weddings and special events. The entrance courtyard presents a stunning vista of the Maison de Maitre's magnificent facade, leaving an indelible first impression on guests.
Recently renovated to the highest standards, the estate includes 7 stylish cottages capable of accommodating up to 36 people, making it a perfect retreat for large groups or families. Adding to the allure are two heated pools with their poolhouse "au sol en travertin," providing an oasis of relaxation. The spacious outbuildings, including barns, an events barn, a distillery bar, and a pigeonnier, offer endless possibilities for imaginative uses.
The charming town of Jonzac, renowned for its thermal baths, spa, and impressive castle, is merely a 5-minute drive from the estate, offering delightful opportunities for wellness treatments and culinary experiences. Additionally, the village center, merely a mile away, invites you to indulge in fresh "baguette et croissant" with a leisurely bike ride.
With its convenient proximity to Bordeaux and La Rochelle (just one hour away) and a short 20-minute drive to Cognac, this property allows easy access to some of France's most iconic destinations while preserving its peaceful and secluded ambiance. Combining historic allure, modern amenities, and picturesque surroundings, this estate promises a tranquil and private escape in the heart of the French countryside. To truly comprehend its uniqueness, this one-of-a-kind property must be experienced firsthand.
