16-room property for sale near Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire (16) on 8.5 hectares

An 18th-century manor house, with a stately character, nestled within 8.5 hectares of unspoiled nature.
Away from any disturbance, at the end of a wooded lane, this estate offers a rare setting: a completely natural environment, with no noise other than that of the countryside. The 8.5 hectares, all in one piece, blend meadows, undergrowth, and a pond of approximately one hectare fed by a stream. Surrounding it, the woods stretch as far as the eye can see, guaranteeing absolute tranquility.
The heart of the estate is a manor house whose origins may date back to an earlier noble or seigniorial settlement, rebuilt and remodeled in the 18th century. Several elements attest to this: a monumental porch dated 1773, openings altered in 1755 and 1784, and older foundations still visible. The entire structure has survived the centuries without losing its character. Meticulously maintained, it is presented today in remarkable condition, with over 600 m² of living space and a partially convertible third floor of 230 m². The rooms are spacious, the layout is fluid, and the original features – terracotta tiles, parquet floors, fireplaces – have been carefully preserved or restored. The house is organized into two interconnected wings, making it ideal for a large family, for separating private spaces, or for developing a hospitality business without compromising the architectural coherence.
Exceptional outbuildings bear witness to a once-thriving agricultural estate. Like many properties in the Charente region, the estate has evolved over the centuries: farming, winemaking, livestock breeding… This history is still evident in its outbuildings, which total over 1,500 m²: a former wine cellar, press and vat rooms, a barn and stable with storage on the upper floor, a former distillery, workshops, carports, a former forge, an agricultural shed, a heated orangery, and a separate 85 m² caretaker's cottage converted from the old bread oven. These buildings, most of which are in very good structural condition, offer rare potential: equestrian activities, gîtes (holiday cottages), workshops, storage, receptions, a collection, or simply a spacious and cohesive living environment.
The park extends the estate's history: hornbeam avenues structure the space, meadows recall its former agricultural purpose, undergrowth preserves the spirit of the ancient land, and the pond surrounded by trees provides a tranquil landscape. This unspoiled setting creates a rare harmony where the buildings and nature seem to have evolved together for generations.
A truly exceptional property. This estate combines what is becoming almost impossible to find today: an authentic and sound old manor house, complete and well-integrated outbuildings, a preserved natural environment free from any disturbances, a history that is both clear and respected, and significant potential without compromising the spirit of the place. An ensemble that has survived the centuries while retaining its soul, and which now awaits a new chapter, in keeping with what it has always been: a grand Charentaise estate, solid, elegant, and deeply rooted in its landscape.
Agency fees are payable by the buyer, amounting to 4.00% including VAT of the price excluding fees.
