Open to offers - Rare equestrian property with extensive land, privacy, rental potential and room to add value

A rare equestrian property offering almost 11 hectares (27 acres) of paddocks, woodland, and farmland. The estate includes two independent houses, extensive equestrian facilities with six stables, a 40m x 20m sand arena, and water storage for the animals.

The main house is ready to move in with high vaulted ceilings, while the traditional farmhouse/gîte offers rental potential. Gardens, a wildlife pond, and two pools (one a project to finish) complement the property. Perfect for full-time living or equestrian pursuits, with privacy, peaceful surroundings, and excellent local riding and services. Close to Montmoreau, Barbezieux, Angoulême, and Bordeaux.

Set in a peaceful rural environment, this substantial equestrian property in the Charente offers almost 11 hectares (27 acres) of land, two independent dwellings, extensive equestrian facilities, and outstanding riding country. With no close neighbours, the property combines privacy, space, and genuine lifestyle potential.

The land is mainly laid to paddocks, bordered by farmland and woodland, and is ideally suited to horses. The equestrian facilities include six stables, a tack room, feed room, hay storage, a yard, and a 40m x 20m sand arena. A large 10m x 4m x 2m water tank provides ample rainwater for the stables and troughs. The current owner has successfully run a livery business here for the past three years.

Outriding in the area is exceptional, with miles of routes across farmland and through woods, largely avoiding roads. When roads are used, they are quiet with good visibility and wide verges. The property is also well served by excellent local equine professionals, including two nearby veterinary practices (one equine specialist), an experienced farrier, and access to the renowned Château de Conques equine hospital in Libourne, approximately one hour away.

The Main House
The principal residence is habitable immediately, though some finishing work remains, allowing new owners to personalise the space. Accommodation includes a living room, dining room, kitchen, lobby, utility room, and two ground-floor bedrooms with bathrooms, one of which is en suite.

The striking tower bedroom, with en-suite facilities to complete, enjoys elevated views over the paddocks and stables. All bedrooms feature high, vaulted ceilings, enhancing the sense of space and light.

Heating is provided by a combination of air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating, radiators, and wood burners, offering flexibility and comfort.

The Gîte / Second House
The traditional farmhouse-style gîte has its own independent entrance and has been successfully rented for many years, generating approximately €900 per week at peak periods. While structurally sound, it would benefit from new windows. Accommodation includes a lounge, kitchen, three bedrooms, a shower room, and a bath/shower room. An attic runs the full length of the house, and an adjoining barn offers excellent workshop potential.

Gardens, Pools & Additional Features
Surrounding the houses is an enclosed and secure garden of over half a hectare, with electric fencing, chicken runs, sheds, vegetable gardens, two polytunnels, and a large wildlife/koi pond with pumps in place (surrounds to be completed). The garden is enhanced by numerous mature trees, including lime, horse chestnut, and walnut.
The property includes a smaller swimming pool, plus a large L-shaped pool (16m x 9m) which has been structurally rebuilt with reinforced concrete blockwork and rebar. Mosaic tiles are already on site, allowing the new owner to complete the pool to their own taste. Importantly, neither the second pool nor the pond project is obligatory and could be simplified or removed if desired.

Location
Despite its tranquil setting, the property is just 10 minutes from Brossac, offering local shops, medical facilities, and a leisure lake with summer events. The nearby village of Châtignac is lively and welcoming, while Chalais (15 minutes) provides supermarkets, DIY stores, garden centres, and a train station. Angoulême (40 minutes) offers full amenities and TGV links, and Bordeaux and its international airport are reachable in around 1 hour 20 minutes.

A rare opportunity to acquire a well-located equestrian estate offering land, privacy, income potential, and scope to adapt the property to your own vision.
