DESCRIPTION

Royan Ile d'Oléron Sotheby's International Realty invites you to discover a home full of character and memories: a former Cognac distillery dating from 1880, passed down through the generations and now ready to begin a new chapter in its history.

Just 10 minutes from Saintes and 30 minutes from the Atlantic beaches, the property enjoys a privileged location in peaceful surroundings, while remaining close to the region’s main attractions.

Behind its characterful façades, the manor house reveals generous proportions and a warm atmosphere. An elegant hallway leads to the reception rooms, comprising a sitting room and dining room, ideal for sharing special moments. A bedroom with a washroom offers the option of ground-floor living, while a kitchen and a shower room with WC complete this level.

At the rear, a delightful shaded terrace is the perfect place to enjoy long summer days beneath the shelter of century-old trees, silent witnesses to the estate’s history.

Upstairs are four lovely bedrooms, three of which have their own washroom, as well as a spacious bathroom and a separate WC. Above, the attic offers further scope for conversion to suit a wide range of projects.

The roof of the house has recently been completely renovated, giving future owners peace of mind and lasting security.

The grounds extend to more than 7,000 m² and offer complete privacy, creating a true haven of greenery. Two detached holiday cottages, seamlessly integrated into the estate, are tucked away along its paths. They offer the opportunity to host family and friends, develop a tourism business or explore new uses according to individual aspirations. The first has three bedrooms and the second two, and each has its own living areas, kitchen and shower room.

The outbuildings contribute greatly to the property’s character and potential. Former stables, a bread oven, a large open-sided shelter, a workshop, wine cellar and utility room form a rare collection of spaces, suited to a wide range of family, business or events-related projects.

This property is now simply waiting for owners ready to breathe new life into it. Whether as a family home, an entertaining space, a tourism business or a legacy to pass on, the possibilities are endless in this authentic setting, where the charm of the past blends harmoniously with the ambitions of tomorrow.

A rare opportunity to become the custodian of a distinctive piece of heritage in the heart of the Charente countryside.
