Wonderful equestrian property with 2 houses, stables pool and 11ha of land - no neighbours

Property Description

Summary
This equestrian property is situated near Brossac in the Charente region of SW France.
There is almost 11 ha (27 acres) of land, mainly paddocks with some surrounding farmland, two houses, swimming pool and stables. It is in a quiet location with no close neighbours.
The equestrian facilities include 6 stables, feed- and tack room, haystore, yard and a 40m x 20m sand arena. There is a tank of 10m x 4m x 2m providing plenty of rainwater for the stables and water troughs.
The current owner has run a livery business for the last three years.
There are two good local vets, one of whom a horse specialist, and also what is arguably the best horse hospital in western France; the Château de Conques at Libourne, one hour drive.
The out riding is amazing; you can go for miles over farmland and through woods without having to use roads, which are very quiet with good visibility and space past the verges.

The main house is habitable but does need some finishing off.

There is a living room, dining room, kitchen and lobby. Two bedrooms and bathrooms (one an ensuite) are on the ground floor.
The master bedroom and ensuite is a tower. It overlooks the stables and paddocks.

All the bedrooms have high vaulted ceilings.

The traditional farmhouse has its own entrance and a lounge, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a shower room and a bath/shower room.
You could rent it as a gite for approximately 900€ a week.

There is an attic running the full length of the farmhouse, and at the end a barn ideal for a workshop.

Outside is there is over half a hectare garden (enclosed and secure) with chicken runs, sheds, two poly tunnels, vegetable gardens, and a large wildlife/koi pond with appropriate pumps needing the surround adding.
In the garden are a number of majestic mature trees; lindens, horse chestnut, walnuts etc.

Despite the rural location it is only a ten-minute drive to the local town of Brossac with a boulangerie, boucherie, pharmacie, Spar, Maison de Santé and lake with leisure facilities and music in the summer.
The commune of Châtignac is a thriving village with lots of activities and is very welcoming to newcomers.
Chalais, fifteen minutes away, has a supermarket, Lidl, builder's merchant, grain store and garden centre with horse supplies.
Angoulême, forty minutes away, has all the large stores, including equestrian ones, and the TGV rail station.
Bordeaux, one hour twenty away, is a UNESCO world heritage city with the international airport of Mérignac and a wealth of cultural sites and events (including international horse events!)
