This property, offering approximately 900 square meters of living space, features 15 bedrooms and numerous reception rooms, all within a tranquil natural setting just 15 minutes from the Angoulême TGV station, providing access to Paris in 1 hour and 45 minutes. The château exudes the charm and sophistication of grand French family homes, showcasing remarkable proportions and retaining numerous period features, including antique fireplaces, wood paneling, painted ceilings, and exquisite wall decorations. The expansive grounds provide unobstructed 360° views, complemented by landscaped parkland, woods, and bridle paths.
