Saint Ausone-Saint Martin-Saint Gelais, Angoulême
Just 15 minutes from the Angoulême TGV station (Paris in 1 hour 45 minutes), nestled in a protected natural setting, this château, built in 1746 and remodeled in the 19th century, exudes all the elegance of grand French family homes. Offering approximately 900 sq m of living space, it boasts nearly thirty rooms, including 15 bedrooms complemented by 3 anterooms, several adjoining reception rooms, and a chapel. The proportions are remarkable and retain numerous period features: antique fireplaces, wood paneling, painted ceilings, wall decorations, and expansive views. The estate extends over approximately 40 hectares in a single block, offering complete privacy and unobstructed 360° views from the façade. It includes landscaped parkland, woods, bridle paths, and a promenade leading to a belvedere with panoramic views overlooking the surrounding countryside. A caretaker's house, outbuildings, and a swimming pool complete the property. It is also possible to expand the estate by acquiring, as bare ownership, an additional 60 hectares currently leased, bringing the total land area to nearly 100 contiguous hectares surrounding the château. Located in the immediate vicinity of a village with shops, schools, and public transport, the estate combines absolute tranquility with easy access. Renovation work is required, particularly on the technical systems (heating, electricity, sanitation, plumbing), as well as an interior renovation to reveal the full architectural potential of the property. A rare property, ideal for heritage enthusiasts and those with ambitious projects: a family residence, a reception venue, a hospitality business, or a large-scale cultural project. Agency fees: euros57,000 including VAT (4.96%), payable by the buyer ( euros1,150,000 excluding fees).
