This stunning stone property was rebuilt in the XVIII century on the footprint of the former Chateau of the Comte de Montalembert which dated back to the II century. The foundations of the old chateau with its vaulted cellars and old water well is a proof of its past. The church of the village was part of the Chateau originally and was used as a chapel. A superb historical property with potential to extend the existing living space.

The department of Charente is located in the centre-west of France and is part of the Poitou-Charentes region along with Deux Sevres, Charente Maritime and the Vienne department.

Its name as is often the case comes from the river Charente which snakes through the department. Two local dialects are spoken in the area, Saintongeais in the west and Occitan to the east.

Charente is a thriving department for several reasons, Cognac production is one of the most interesting and profitable industries, the export level of approx. 95% is a success, the consumption in France being only 5% (some say they keep the best 5% in France!).

The department has many typical towns, Angouleme in the south east for example hosts an international festival that attracts hundreds of visitors and is not to be missed.

The region is popular with hikers, bikers and nature lovers who like to discover the woodlands, lakes and streams that are part of this amazing landscape.
