Description
This 18th-century manor house for sale in Charente sits on 8.5 hectares with its own pond, a short drive from Condéon.
The grounds run to 85,692 m², and roughly a hectare of that is water. The setting is quiet and undisturbed, and a morning here starts slowly. The house is in good condition, so you can live in it while you decide what the rest of the estate should become.
The Manor House: 691 m² and 11 Bedrooms
The main house has 691 m² of living space, 11 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The rooms are generous, as you would expect of a house this age, and the layout leaves room to split the building into two separate dwellings. That could mean a family home with a self-contained wing, or a main residence with independent guest accommodation.
Eleven bedrooms and two bathrooms also tell you where the first jobs would fall if you plan to host paying guests: more bathrooms. It is a practical question worth pricing early with a local builder.
Outbuildings Over 1,500 m²: Barns, Forge and Distillery
This is where the estate becomes unusual. The outbuildings add up to more than 1,500 m² and include two large barns, a former forge, a distillery, a stable, a wine press and a workshop, plus several smaller annexes.
Charente is Cognac country, and the distillery and wine press fit that history. You will not find many properties on the market that still carry this much working heritage in one place.
Project Ideas: Guest House, Equestrian or Event Venue
The buildings and land suit several directions, and the source material points to four: tourism, equestrian, events and artistic use. A few thoughts on each:
- Tourism: the main house and a converted annexe could form a guest house or a cluster of gîtes, with the pond as the draw.
- Equestrian: there is a stable already, plus the acreage to build on.
- Events: the two large barns give you covered space away from any neighbours.
- Artistic: the forge and workshop are ready-made studio space.
Any change of use needs checking with the local mairie before you commit, and a notaire will walk you through the purchase. Budget for conversion work separately from the purchase price.
Living Near Condéon, Barbezieux and Cognac
Condéon is a small rural commune, so daily life here is quiet. Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, the nearest sizeable town, is a short drive away and covers supermarkets, bakeries, doctors and weekly markets. Cognac is about 40 minutes away, and Angoulême roughly 45 minutes, both useful for bigger shopping trips, restaurants and the mainline train. The Atlantic coast around Royan is about an hour and a quarter by road.
The climate is mild and oceanic, with warm summers and soft winters. Heating a house of 691 m² is not trivial, so it is sensible to ask about the heating system and insulation during a viewing.
Getting There: Bordeaux Airport and Drive Times
Bordeaux is about an hour away. Bordeaux-Mérignac airport has direct flights to many European cities, and Bordeaux Saint-Jean station has high-speed TGV trains to Paris in about two hours. That makes this workable as a second home in France even if you arrive from abroad for a few weeks at a time. Plan on a hire car, since the property is rural.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the manor house be divided into two homes?
The house has the space and layout to be split into two separate dwellings. Check the exact planning requirements with the mairie and an architect before you start.
Could this work as a holiday home in Charente with rental income?
The size, the pond and the outbuildings make guest accommodation a realistic idea. It would need investment in bathrooms and conversion work, plus the correct permissions.
How far is the property from Bordeaux?
About an hour by road to Bordeaux airport and the Saint-Jean station, depending on traffic.
