Poitou-Charentes, Charente, Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, France

19th-century manor house full of character and natural light, set in an estate of over 7 acres with gardens and pasture with direct access to the River Dronne, a short walk, drive or canoe ride from the popular village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, with its restaurants, cafes, shops, bakery and riverside beach.

This charming country estate is perfect as a family home, holiday retreat or tourism business, with excellent potential for chambres d'hotes, gites, glamping or camping (subject to permissions).

The current owners have previously generated seasonal rental income from holiday rental of the main house.

The beautifully renovated 274m2 home features an impressive entrance hall with original staircase, family kitchen, spacious living room, 8 en suite bedrooms, laundry/boiler room and a ground-floor bathroom.

Gas central heating and two wood-burning stoves provide year-round comfort on the ground and first floors.

Electric heating is fitted on the top floor in the converted attic bedrooms and en suite shower rooms.

The 67m2 guest cottage includes a kitchen, living room, study, bedroom and shower room. Partially renovated, it offers scope for expansion into a larger independent home, with its own garden and separate vehicle access.

Over 400m2 of outbuildings provide extensive storage, workshop space and further development potential (subject to permissions).

2.9 hectares (7.2 acres) of land extend along the riverbank and include mature trees, open pasture and an above ground swimming pool.

The level land is well suited to equestrian use, outdoor leisure activities, or tourism projects. Mature trees provide welcome shade for outdoor entertaining, creating enchanting spaces to gather with family and friends while enjoying soothing river views and dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.

Launch a canoe from your own back garden, explore the Dronne, then relax on the sun terrace by the above ground pool.

A rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled riverside estate offering space, privacy and income potential in an exceptional setting.
