Description
Some properties endure the passage of time with remarkable grace.
They witness generations come and go, adapt to changing ways of life and evolving landscapes, yet retain that rare and indefinable presence. The kind of place that tells its story long before you cross the threshold.
I have always been drawn to estates that evoke such a feeling.
Ideally located between Bordeaux and Angoulême, this remarkable property is far more than a manor house or a former farmstead. It is a genuine heritage estate where two independent residences have stood in quiet dialogue for almost a century, surrounded by beautifully landscaped, enclosed grounds.
Designed in 1929 by architect Ollivier, the manor house embodies the elegance of the Art Deco period. Behind its harmonious façade lies an interior of remarkable authenticity, featuring a grand entrance hall, elegant columns, a magnificent central staircase bathed in natural light beneath its glass roof, marble fireplaces and beautifully proportioned reception rooms designed as much for entertaining as for everyday living.
Facing the manor, the former farmhouse is far more than an outbuilding. It is a second residence with its own history and character. A traditional bread oven, monolithic stone sink, dovecote, well, wine cellar and extensive agricultural buildings preserve the memory of the generations who once lived and worked here.
Together, these two buildings create a rare sense of balance. One reflects the elegance of gracious living, the other remains deeply connected to its rural heritage. Together, they offer exceptional versatility.
Whether envisioned as a distinguished family home, a charming guest house, an artists' retreat, an equestrian estate, a tourism venture or a professional project, the possibilities are numerous. The true value already lies here, in the soul of the property and the heritage it is ready to pass on.
Immediate access to the N10 provides convenient connections to south-west France and the Atlantic coast, while an adjoining parcel of land is also available should you wish to extend the estate.
I have always admired properties that never seek to impress, yet leave a lasting impression.
Perhaps because some places are not simply waiting to be restored.
They are waiting for those who will write their next chapter. Les honoraires sont à la charge du vendeur.
