Set amidst the rolling Cognac vineyards, this beautifully restored former Cognac estate is a true gem. Owned by the same family for seven generations, it was recently transformed by its current owners, both internationally acclaimed artists known for their exceptional taste, into an exclusive residence where beauty is found in every detail. The result is a masterful blend of authentic period features, bespoke design, and high-quality materials that is sure to leave a lasting impression. The main house offers 320 m² of living space. On the ground floor, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, a refined dining room, two luminous sitting rooms basking in the soft Charente-Maritime light, a library, and a bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The first-floor features four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, a stylish dressing room, and an open mezzanine. A true standout is the separate guesthouse, currently used as the artists’ studios, designed with the same eye for quality and style. Planning permission has already been granted to convert the existing garage and attic space into an additional 100 m² guest residence—ideal for visitors or holiday rental. Set on nearly 3 hectares of land, the property includes a beautiful swimming pool, an expansive garden with orchard, meandering pathways, and even a cricket pitch for enthusiasts. Looking to expand further? The sale also includes a 6,500 m² plot of buildable land, suitable for two extra homes—an exceptional opportunity. The property is located in a quiet hamlet with a charming artisanal bakery just a short walk away. Nearby villages provide all essential services, and the location offers excellent accessibility: the spa town of Jonzac is only 15 minutes away, Angoulême and its TGV station just 45 minutes, and Bordeaux with its international airport is a 60-minute drive. Whether you're drawn by the vineyards, the sea, or the peaceful rural lifestyle, this region captures the essence of refined French living.
