Poitou-Charentes, Charente, Montbron, France

A44381SMP16 - Main house :
At the heart of the home lies a striking farmhouse kitchen and dining area, where the full height of the original roof has been preserved, creating a wonderful sense of volume and light. This is a space made for long, relaxed meals and gatherings with family and friends.

From here, the home flows into a comfortable main lounge with original fireplace, as well as an additional private ground-floor sitting room that can easily serve as a guest bedroom with en-suite or home office.

An elegant open staircase leads from the kitchen into a spacious hallway landing, currently used as a library and second sitting space. This level offers four bedrooms, including one master bedroom with en-suite, and a separate family bathroom. The potential fourth bedroom is currently set up as a relaxation space with an infrared sauna—can easily be adapted into a study or a single bedroom.

The Gîte / Second House

Attached to the main house is a charming, fully self-contained second house (gîte), offering total privacy with separate access, excellent flexibility for guest accommodation, holiday rental, or multi-generational living.

Entering the gîte, you are welcomed into an open-plan kitchen, dining and utility room and living space on the ground floor, ideal for relaxed, country living. Also on this level is a cosy double bedroom, a bathroom with bath, and a separate WC.

An additional room on this level, currently being used as a home office, offers a perfect space for a double bedroom with dressing rooms or office spaces.

Upstairs, you’ll find two further comfortable bedrooms beneath the eaves with rustic character, along with a spacious bathroom with shower and WC.

Grounds & Outbuildings

The grounds are a true highlight of the property — a natural, ever-changing landscape of woodland, pasture, and open space with ample opportunity to grow plants and vegetables. Fully operational original fresh water well is used to top up the pool and water the gardens.

A paved, covered terrace extends gracefully from the main house entrance — an inviting spot for long outdoor meals, quiet moments taking in the surrounding views, or evenings beneath beautifully clear, star-filled skies. Above, discreet solar panels capture the day’s sunshine, blending practical sustainability with the home’s rustic charm.

A unique 20-metre outdoor lap pool provides the perfect setting for summer living, complemented by a private enclosed gym for year-round wellness.

The estate also includes three substantial barns, they benefit from cemented floors — ideal for use as garages, workshops, storage, or further renovation projects (subject to permissions).

A small orchard adds to the charm, with cherry, apple, and plum trees providing seasonal fruit and a wonderful connection to the land.

A Unique Opportunity

This is more than a home — it is a way of life. Whether enjoyed as a peaceful family retreat, a place to gather and entertain, or a property with income potential, it offers an authentic slice of rural France, rich in character, privacy, and possibility.
