Surrounded by the gentle slopes of the Charente department, this magnificent property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial piece of local history. Located in the commune of Val des Vignes, the estate is surrounded by the world-famous "Petite Champagne" cognac vineyards, providing a landscape that changes beautifully with every season. This is a property designed for those who value space, tranquility, and the potential for a lifestyle-driven income.

The heart of the estate is a well preserved ensemble of the principal farm house and two further dwellings with a total of 16 rooms farmhouse. Spanning multiple levels, the interior is a masterclass in rustic elegance, featuring original Charentaise stone walls and massive oak beams.

Living Space: The ground floor offers grand reception rooms with monumental fireplaces, perfect for hosting or cozy winter evenings.
Accommodation: With 10 bedrooms distributed across the three dwellings, the main house serves as a stately anchor, offering enough room for a large family while maintaining a sense of intimacy and warmth.

Independent Dwellings & Guest Potential: What sets this property apart are the two additional, fully independent dwellings. These are not merely annexes; they are complete homes that offer:

Business Potential: Perfectly suited for high-end gîte rentals in a region that sees high demand from international wine tourists.
Multigenerational Living: An ideal setup for those wishing to move with extended family while ensuring everyone has their own private space and kitchen facilities.

Land and Outbuildings: The estate sits on almost 2.5 hectares (nearly 6 acres) of prime land. The grounds are a mix of manicured garden spaces, open paddocks, and private corners for reflection including a small stream fed lake.

Amongst numerous specimen trees in the parkland, there are also 11 truffle oaks, an apple, two plum and two walnut trees

The Barns: A highlight for many will be the vast barns. These structures are in excellent condition and offer a blank canvas—whether you envision a grand event space, a classic car collection gallery, or further residential expansion (subject to planning).
South-Facing Aspect: The property is oriented to capture the best of the French sun, making the outdoor terraces the focal point of daily life.

Life in the Charente: Living here means embracing the "douceur de vivre."

The Market Experience: You are minutes away from Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, home to one of the region's best weekly markets and a stunning 15th-century château.
