Overview

Nestled just beyond the golden eaves of Cognac—where the air hums with the scent of aged oak and sun-warmed vineyards—stands a majestic 18th-century château, its honeyed stone walls whispering tales of grandeur and modern reinvention. This is no mere estate; it is a living legacy, a sanctuary where history’s elegance dances with contemporary ambition, offering not just a home, but a thriving empire of hospitality, wrapped in two hectares of manicured parkland where centuries-old trees cast dappled shadows over hidden pathways.

Step through the wrought-iron gates, and the château reveals itself in a symphony of symmetry: ten exquisite bedrooms, five of them sumptuous suites where original moldings frame en-suite bathrooms fit for royalty. Above, the partially untouched top floor beckons like an unopened chapter—space for four, perhaps five more bedrooms, waiting to be sculpted into private retreats or opulent hideaways. Beyond the main residence, a 160 m² guesthouse stands sentinel, its four bedrooms offering intimate refuge for those who seek the château’s magic without surrendering to its full embrace.

But this is more than a residence; it is a turnkey kingdom. The 60 m² lounge-bar, already alive with the murmur of satisfied guests, spills into a 100 m² event hall—poised to host lavish soirées, corporate retreats, or vineyard-tinged celebrations that linger in memory long after the last toast. The business thrives, not by chance, but by design: a loyal clientele returns year after year, drawn by the allure of a place where every detail—from the crisp linens to the solar-powered autonomy—speaks of quiet luxury and foresight. A 16 kWh solar array hums discreetly, gifting energy independence and savings, while the swimming pool, cradled by its own pool house, glints under the Poitou-Charentes sun, an oasis for guests and owners alike.

Venture further, and the property’s potential unfurls like a map of possibilities. Over 550 m² of outbuildings—a timeworn barn, a former bakery still redolent with phantom scents of warm bread, and a constellation of annexes—await transformation. Will they become spa sanctuaries, artist studios, or additional guest pavilions? The choice is yours, as is the power to shape this estate’s next chapter.

Here, the practical and the poetic entwine: secure parking for discerning guests, landscaped gardens that shift with the seasons, and a location that places you mere minutes from Cognac’s fabled distilleries, yet worlds away in privacy and prestige. This is an opportunity to steward a property that has already proven its mettle—a château that doesn’t just stand in the landscape, but commands it, offering profit as effortlessly as it does beauty. For the visionary who seeks not just a home, but a dynasty, the keys to this golden age await.
