About this Property

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! This stunning 12 bedroom château, formerly the home of a famous Cognac producer who built it during the 1870s, has recently been the subject of a beautiful and sympathetic renovation.
Entered through its impressive gates, then through its original front door, the majestic entrance hall with its glorious tiled floor and high ceilings leads through to two fabulous staircases and then to the rear of the property - allowing light to fill the interior from every side.
To the ground floor is a large family kitchen with utility room, a comfortable drawing room, a grand dining room and a spacious billiard room complete with billiard table.To the first floor, with its views across the lovely local countryside to the front and over the fabulous pool and bar to the rear, are 4 impressive bedrooms, each one with its own en suite bath or shower rooms. There are a further 5 bedrooms, all large and spacious and 2 family bath or shower rooms to the top floor.
The lower ground floor of the property can provide completely independent accommodation as it comprises an entrance hall leading to a large kitchen/lounge/diner, 3 bedrooms (one currently used as a cinema room), a family bathroom with roll top bath and shower, an office, a laundry room and a boiler room. Plus there is an independent studio with bedroom, kitchen area and en suite shower room. The château benefits from oil fired central heating.
Outside is a magnificent, private, heated pool with its own bar area, plus in a separate building, a wonderful gym and 'play room' with TV and bar. The mature gardens provide lots of shade and are fully enclosed with a fire pit and children's play area.
Ideally situated just a short walk from the centre of a pretty market town with its bakery, bar, supermarket and hotel restaurant, and just a few minutes drive from the bustling town of Saint Jean d'Angély and the motorway network, this property is ideal as a fabulous family home, or a home plus income opportunity for gites or Chambres d'Hôtes or as a wedding venue (all subject to necessary permissions). This château is so fabulous and needs to be seen to be fully appreciated - so early viewing is HIGHLY recommended!

Saint-Jean-d’Angély

Poitou-Charentes

From the beaches of the Charente-Maritime through the Charente and Deux-Sevres to the lush green of the Vienne, Poitou-Charentes has something for everyone.  Coastal towns with some of the highest number of sunshine days per year, Cognac and goat’s cheeses (what a combo!) and fine properties set in pretty and unspoilt countryside.   And the value for money here has to be seen to be believed!

Testimonials

    Testimonial by Andrew Cotton

    Having decided to go ahead with our plan to buy an investment property in France, we initially tracked the market across a number of websites and across a wide area covering the Dordogne and the Lot regions. It quickly became clear that the responses we received from the Beaux Villages team were the most helpful and, based on some discussions about what we were looking for, we were able to put an initial viewing trip together. Based on this viewing trip, we narrowed the geographic area of our search and Beaux Villages became the leading agent we spoke to, including arranging some visits to see properties that were not exclusively listed with them, which made the viewing trips easy to arrange and manage. After a second viewing trip, we found our dream property, albeit at a price which was a little over our budget. At this point, the Beaux Villages team helped us navigate the process of understanding what the different stages of the offer and purchasing process would be, what the fees for each aspect would be and allowed us to put together an offer which was rejected initially, but some months later secured us a property we are really pleased, and sometimes a little amazed, to now own. Without the input of Judith Whitlow [, and her husband Kevin,] we would have not had the confidence to navigate the process successfully. Their input, from the initial offer all the way through to the couple of weeks after our purchase went through (when dealing with some of the issues which arise when buying a property abroad), was clear, pragmatic and incredibly helpful. Based on their experience having lived in France for some time and the clarification they could therefore offer on issues which were sometimes difficult to understand and assess, we felt very comfortable making decisions about what is a very significant investment for us. I warmly recommend Judith to anyone considering purchasing a property in France – without them, we would have had a much more difficult time getting to completion.
