House Angoulême - 8 bedrooms

South of Angoulême, 10 minutes from the countryside: A place for living, creativity and freedom.

This timeless estate overlooks the valley.

Far from a traditional, rigid, conventional or museum-like renovation, this property stands out above all as a vibrant, lived-in and bohemian place to live – a poetic and inspiring retreat designed for artists, creators and lovers of authenticity.

Spanning just over 8 hectares, blending open meadows, woodland, streams, a hanging garden and moats carved into the rock, the estate forms a preserved ecosystem.

It is the ideal setting for a large family home, an artists’ residence, a venue for cultural events or an alternative accommodation project.

The Château: Soul and Light A far cry from impersonal museum-castles, the centrepiece offers approximately 500 m² of living space (with the potential to extend to over 600 m²), where a warm and decidedly lived-in atmosphere reigns.

It immediately captivates with the grandeur of its spaces and the extraordinary light that floods every room through large, floor-to-ceiling windows.

Each room has retained the patina and spirit of the place without falling into the stereotype of a traditional castle that has been completely restored: 8 bedrooms imbued with serenity and inspiration; open-plan living rooms and a library conducive to reflection, conversation and creativity, in a bohemian spirit.

An elegant dining room and a charming kitchen, the true, welcoming heart of the house.

The original features – antique parquet flooring, weathered terracotta tiles, moulded ceilings, stone and painted wooden fireplaces, and a staircase carved into the curve of the wall – tell a living story rather than serving as a static backdrop.

Flanked by two 13th-century medieval towers and remodelled in the 19th century to enhance comfort whilst preserving its character, the building offers a sweeping, contemplative view over the valley.

Outbuildings designed as a communal space At the rear, a vast complex of outbuildings covering over 1,500 m² of floor space is arranged in a U-shape (barns, stables, workshops, cowsheds, wine press).

The renovation focused on fostering a sense of community and cultural openness rather than simply creating residential accommodation.

Two key spaces have been tastefully fitted out: A 105 m² showroom, ideal for use as an art gallery, artist’s studio or exhibition space, A guinguette: a 180 m² refreshment bar, perfect for welcoming the public, organising artist residencies, festive events or cultural gatherings.

La Maisonnette and its surroundings In addition, ‘La Maisonnette’ (a self-contained holiday cottage of 115 m²) offers accommodation with rustic, timeless charm: a cosy lounge with a wood-burning stove, an open-plan kitchen, whitewashed stone walls and exposed beams, along with three bedrooms (two of which have en-suite bathrooms).

A perfect haven for hosting artists in residence, guests or family and friends.

At the heart of an artistic and accessible region The estate enjoys an ideal location just 10 minutes from Angoulême, a dynamic and creative city, famous for its festivals (comic books, film, gastronomy, motor racing) and its TGV station connecting to Paris in 2 hours, Bordeaux in 30 minutes, as well as Roissy, Tours and Lille.

The village offers all the everyday amenities (school, grocery shop, artisan bakery, health centre, bistro, hairdresser).

A living heritage on a human scale.

A rare place where history is not merely admired behind glass, but is written day by day: living, creating, coming together and passing on traditions.
