Elegant and charming 19th Century 7 bedroom Chateau estate, set within a large mature plot of 53,610m2 and with a spacious living area of 600m2.

Ideally located at the border of the Charente and Dordogne departments, just 3km from the picturesque and well-preserved medieval village of Aubeterre sur Dronne, which is classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France.

The chateau stands out with its refined architecture and intricate design, showcasing iconic stone sculptures that exemplify the best of traditional French craftsmanship.

Upon entering through the imposing gates, a meticulously maintained paved driveway leads to the main entrance of the Chateau, where a graceful tower rises on the left. Stone steps lead to the entry doors, under an elegant portico.

Upon entering the bright grand foyer, to the left stands a spectacular staircase; handcrafted from local oak with ornate balustrades, it ascends to the first and second floors. Exiting the foyer there is a fully fitted and equipped kitchen, a laundry room and reception rooms (living rooms and dining room) adorned with gracious wood panelling and large windows, accentuating the brightness of the spacious rooms. The south-facing terrace and garden are also accessible from this area. The ground floor totals approximately 300m2.

The first floor offers a large landing granting access to 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a gym.

The second floor features 3 bedrooms, a shower room, and an attic with further extension possibilities.

The cellar, covering an area of about 200m2, boasts an external entrance for wine barrel deliveries and an interior service entrance. It comprises several vaulted rooms, one of which provides ample space for an enthusiastic wine collector to showcase hundreds of bottles.

The chateau is nestled within 5.3 hectares of meticulously maintained gardens and grounds, adorned with centuries-old trees, offering panoramic views of the countryside and the surrounding hills, characteristic of this region.

The outbuildings, constructed in 1890 and situated approximately 100 metres from the chateau, feature a roof designed by the renowned architect Eiffel, famous for the Eiffel Tower in Paris. These outbuildings include 3 large garages, 2 residential houses, and 3 stables. Additionally, a spacious 200m2 barn awaits renovation.

Ideally located just 3 kilometres from the picturesque medieval village of Aubeterre sur Drone, the property offers a plethora of social and family activities: golf, tennis, horseback riding, river swimming, canoeing, river beach, and more. The village itself is replete with quaint cafes, bars, diverse restaurants, shops, a butcher, a bakery, grocery stores, and a pharmacy.

The property is only 45 kilometres from Angouleme, where the TGV swiftly connects to Paris (1h45) and Bordeaux (30 minutes). The drive to Bordeaux takes just one hour.
