Description
Ideally located in the Charente valley between Cognac and Jarnac, this dwelling, whose construction reflects the various stages, was mainly remodeled in the 18th and 19th centuries but its origins are believed to be more distant (before the 15th...?). With its slipway and loading dock, its past is closely linked to the wealth of the vine and river transport on the Charente. It is part of the heritage of the history of the Cognac region.
The latest work (2021/2022) has enabled the renovation of all the roofs, the restoration of all the exposed stone facades, the replacement of the double-glazed frames and exterior joinery (including the large entrance gate), the installation of a high-performance boiler and an insert in a double-sided fireplace.
The invisibility of the dwelling, hidden behind its high walls, which refers the walker to his natural curiosity, is compensated by the exceptional beauty of its porch. A centerpiece of the old wine estates reflecting the status of the owners.
Around a courtyard of honor and a well, are arranged the large outbuildings (700 m² on the ground and 200 m² upstairs) in perfect condition, a fully renovated 60 m² cottage incorporating a bread oven (old communal oven), the main body of the 350 m² dwelling on 3 levels and access to the park and the orchard / vegetable garden.
Inserted between the flights of the magnificent spiral staircase, a vaulted passage leads to the garden, a true island of happiness in the heart of a privileged place. In all seasons, a magnificent panorama of the river and the surrounding nature is offered to you, ideal for sharing moments with friends or for escaping from an increasingly pressing daily life. A place of serenity without moderation. Behind a stone wall separating the garden from the park, a swimming spa (counter-current swimming) awaits you for a moment of relaxation or more sustained physical activity in an enclosed and secure space.
