Just 8 km from Angoulême and its high-speed train station (Paris in 1 hour 45 minutes, Bordeaux in 35 minutes) and close to the Atlantic coast, Lafontaine Prestige has the privilege of presenting EXCLUSIVELY the Chateau de Balzac, a property listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments. Former family residence of Jean-Louis Guez de Balzac, writer and academic of the 17th century, a prominent figure who contributed to the evolution of French style and language, the chateau embodies the elegance and refinement of large historic residences, and remains a major symbol of Charente heritage. The 17th-century main building, with nearly 1,000 m² of living space awaiting reinvention, houses vast reception areas: a large 18th-century oval lounge, a vestibule adorned with carefully restored wall frescoes, as well as numerous authentic rooms with fireplaces, woodwork, and antique parquet floors. Its spectacular roof with its 'boat hull' type framework illustrates the architectural mastery of the period. At its sides rises the monumental colonnade, a majestic succession of classically inspired columns, a true architectural emblem of the estate. The château opens onto a paved courtyard and a vast landscaped esplanade and is accompanied by a harmonious ensemble of outbuildings: former stables, restored barns, and service buildings that elegantly structure the site and offer multiple development opportunities. The exterior spans approximately 15 hectares of land, including a park with tree-lined bridleways, private woods, an old washhouse, a fishpond, and a restored canal, all bordered by the Charente River. Over the past several decades, restoration projects have preserved the authenticity of the estate (roofs, facades, outbuildings, conservation of painted decorations). However, the interior still needs to be fully restored, offering its future owner a sound base and the freedom to reinvent it according to their aspirations: private residence, cultural venue, hospitality or event activity. A rare opportunity to acquire a classy chateau, combining history, character, and a strategic location, in the heart of the Charente region, between Paris, Bordeaux, and the Atlantic.
