Between Saintes and Royan – Authentic Château for Sale with Vineyard and Outbuildings

Nestled amidst its own Cognac vineyards, this historic château estate offers a rare opportunity for those seeking authenticity, tranquility, and the chance to breathe new life into an exceptional property. Once a thriving Cognac-producing domain, the estate spans approximately 30 hectares, including vineyards, woodlands, and surrounding meadows. The original production buildings — including barns, a chai (wine storehouse), distillery, and storage facilities — still stand as proud reminders of its illustrious past and remain operational today, offering immediate potential for a new owner to continue or expand production. The château itself offers an impressive 640 m² of living space, with beautifully proportioned reception rooms, a kitchen, several salons, and a study, as well as two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor. The first floor features eight spacious bedrooms and six bathrooms, while the second floor offers an additional four bedrooms and a generous 140 m² attic space, ideal for further development. With numerous outbuildings and a separate 100 m² guest house, the estate lends itself perfectly to a large private residence or a hospitality project — whether that be guest suites, event spaces, gîtes, or workshops. The possibilities are as vast as the property itself. Ideally located just 2 km from a village with all amenities, and within easy reach of the coast, the estate is only 20 minutes from Saintes and 30 minutes from the beaches of Royan. Set in the heart of Charente-Maritime, one of France’s sunniest departments, the region is known for its rolling vineyards, Roman heritage, and relaxed coastal lifestyle. An authentic piece of Charente-Maritime’s rich history — serene, inspiring, and full of promise. Could this be your next great adventure?
