Set on the heights above the Charente River, this beautifully restored maison de maître from 1880 offers 373 m² (4,014 sq ft) of living space, a 2,334 m² (0.58 acre) landscaped garden, and several outbuildings - just 10 km (6 miles) from Angoulême.

The Manor

Enclosed by stone walls, this classic Napoléon III–style manor house features a central main wing and elegant period architecture from the late 19th century. The rear terrace opens onto a peaceful, tree-lined garden that is both buildable and suitable for a pool. Inside, the refined reception rooms with original fireplaces showcase the charm and character of the home.

Across two upper levels, nine bright bedrooms offer sweeping views and generous proportions, ideal for large families, guest accommodations or creative projects.

History & Architecture

Located in a village of 2,000 residents, this property lies at the gates of Angoulême and overlooks the scenic Charente River. The village itself once formed part of a seigneurial domain held by the Abbey of Saint-Cybard and later became a hub for the paper industry. One of the region’s most notable families, the Laroche-Joubert family, played a key role in this industrial history. Remnants of old grain and oil mills—converted into a paper mill—still stand, now housing the local paper museum.

The home’s mansard roof, designed to preserve the full volume of the upper floors, reflects the influence of Pierre Lescot’s 16th-century architectural innovations seen in the Louvre’s Cour Carrée.
