Luxuriously renovated 8 bedroom 15th Century Manor House with 4 fully furnished gites, gym and indoor pool, nestling in nearly 3 hectares of glorious landscaped gardens with expansive pool while enjoying panoramic countryside views from its peaceful location near Saintes.

Steeped in rich history with incredible charm, this logis whose origins date back to the 15th century, was rebuilt in the 18th century with 'pierre de taille'. The hand carved limestone, typical to the region, is flanked by a 16th century castle tower and overlooks the imposing inner courtyard and the former cognac distillery, with outbuildings converted into comfortable gites and a wellness centre.

The main house is very tastefully decorated and offers about 600m2 of living space, including 8 spacious bedrooms and 6 en-suite bathrooms with 2 walk in wardrobes, a library, an equipped kitchen and several living rooms and reception rooms with fireplace. One of the dining rooms, which still dates back to the early days of the logis, might even have had Henry IV visiting it.

The history of this property and the many authentic elements, such as the wooden floors and beams and the beautiful fireplaces, which can be found throughout the manor house, with a little imagination can transport one back several hundred years.

Each of the 4 gites has its own fully equipped kitchen and living space and a total of 9 bedrooms.

Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a spa with Jacuzzi, hammam, relaxation and massage room, indoor swimming pool, gym and billiard room with bar.

Several outbuildings and garages provide space for a vintage car collection, for the enthusiasts or additional possibilities towards further expansion.

The estate covers almost 3 ha and is located in a small village equidistant (15 km) between Saintes, the Roman market town and the world famous city of Cognac. The Charente River, which Francois I considered the most beautiful river of his kingdom, runs just two hundred metres from the estate, and was once one of the country's busiest waterways via which the illustrious Gabariers transported their cognac towards the Atlantic.
