This Natura 2000 classified site offers remarkable biodiversity and is a true haven for lovers of nature, history, and authenticity.
The property spans just over 8 hectares, blending open meadows, woodlands, streams, a hanging garden, and dry moats carved into the rock.
This is a vibrant, inspiring place - ideal for a large family home, an artist residency, an events venue, or even a boutique hospitality project.
The chateau, the crown jewel of the estate, comes with approximately 500 m2 of living space (with potential to expand beyond 600 m2).
It immediately charms with the grandeur and the exceptional natural light that floods each room through generously sized, well-oriented windows.
Spanning three levels, the residence includes eight bedrooms, several bright reception rooms, an elegant dining room, a character-filled kitchen, a library, and extensive storage spaces.
Preserved period features enhance its atmosphere: aged parquet floors, patinated terracotta tiles, ornate cornices, stone and painted wood fireplaces, and a stunning elm staircase curved into the stone wall.
Every room invites serenity-some with commanding views over the valley.
Flanked by two medieval towers, the main structure reflects a long lineage dating back to the 13th century, later reimagined in the 19th century to combine historical charm with improved comfort.
Behind the chateau lies an impressive complex of outbuildings totalling over 1,500 m2 at ground level.
Arranged in a U-shape, they include barns, stables, workshops, wine press buildings, and various flexible-use spaces.
Two of the outbuildings have already been tastefully restored: a 105 m2 showroom and a 180 m2 guinguette-style bar, ideal for hosting events-cultural, festive, or commercial activities.
A detached guesthouse, known as La Maisonnette, offers approximately 115 m2 of cosy, stylish accommodation: an open-plan living area with a wood stove, whitewashed stone walls, exposed beams, and three bedrooms-two of which have en-suite bathrooms.
A charming and private space, perfect for welcoming friends, guests, or seasonal visitors.
Located just 10 minutes from Angouleme, a vibrant city known for its artistic energy and major festivals.
High-speed TGV to Paris (2h), Bordeaux (30 min), Roissy-CDG (3h), Tours, or Lille.
The nearby village offers all daily conveniences.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
