Cognac
Ideally located in the Charente valley between Cognac and Jarnac, this property, whose construction reflects various stages, has been mainly renovated in the 18th and 19th centuries, but its origins are believed to be even older (before the 15th century...?). With its slipway and loading dock, its history is intimately linked to the wealth of vineyards and river transportation on the Charente. It is part of the heritage of the history of the Cognac region. The recent renovation work has included the total renovation of all roofs, the restoration of all facades in exposed stone, the replacement of double-glazed windows and exterior woodwork (including the grand entrance gate), the installation of an efficient boiler and an insert in a double-sided fireplace. The property is hidden behind high walls, enticing the visitor's natural curiosity, yet is compensated by the exceptional beauty of its porch. Surrounded by a courtyard and a well, the large outbuildings (700 m² on the ground floor and 200 m² on the upper floor), a fully renovated 60 m² cottage incorporating a bread oven (former communal oven), the main 350 m² house on 3 levels, and access to the park and orchard/vegetable garden are all in perfect condition. The garden, a true oasis of happiness in the heart of a privileged location, offers a magnificent panorama of the river and the surrounding nature in all seasons. The house features a versatile 90 m² multifunctional room on the ground floor, a traditional summer kitchen open to the garden, a laundry/boiler room, and a cellar. The first floor includes a bright entrance leading to a dining room (38 m²) with two vaulted ceilings connecting to a generous living room (46 m²) with a high ceiling showcasing carpentry work and a beautiful double-sided fireplace. The second floor features a large open mezzanine (42 m²) overlooking the living room, offering flexibility for various uses (office, etc.). The sleeping area includes 3 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and toilets. Additional features include an elevator servicing all three levels and mains drainage. This exceptional property of 7320 m² is just 5 minutes from shops and services, 10 minutes from Cognac, 30 minutes from the TGV station, and close to a golf course (7 minutes). The property is truly a serene haven just waiting to be enjoyed.
