Chateau in Saintes

19th-CENTURY CHATEAU NEO GOTHIC ELEGANCE IN THE HEART OF THE SAINTONGE COUNTRYSIDE

Nestled in a lush, green setting, this 19th-century château perfectly embodies the charm and discipline of the neo-Gothic style. Its two façades, perfectly symmetrical and adorned with refined sculptures, reflect the architectural mastery of its era.

Beyond the porch lies a bright inner courtyard featuring a remarkable stone well and surrounded by numerous outbuildings — former stables, wine cellar, cowshed, workshop, and woodshed — forming a harmonious and authentic ensemble.

Behind its façade, shaded with soft blond and rosy hues, the château unfolds over more than 600 m² of living space distributed across 14 rooms, including 10 bedrooms. The vast volumes, period wooden floors, tall mullioned windows, and stone fireplaces contribute to an atmosphere that is both noble and soothing.

The main rooms are arranged around a large entrance hall paved with antique tiles, opening onto several lounges and a spacious, light-filled dining room. The bedrooms, generous in size and full of character, retain their original décor — wood paneling, wall tapestries, and high ceilings.
A bathroom completes the current layout, while the property offers great potential for creating reception areas, guest rooms, or a cultural project within this timeless residence.

The outbuildings, some of which require renovation, offer significant potential: former stables, barns and workshops, a large wine cellar, an independent farmhouse to restore, and a wing with one building already converted into a guest cottage combining authenticity and modern comfort.

The estate covers a total of 29,721 m² of landscaped grounds, including lawns, mature trees, meadows, and shaded areas, forming a naturally balanced environment. An old well and two rainwater collectors complete this self-sufficient and environmentally respectful property.

Heating is provided by wood-burning stoves in several rooms; individual sanitation system; single-glazed windows except in the renovated guest house; and numerous stone annexes with high restoration potential.

This neo-Gothic château, with its preserved beauty, stands out for the purity of its lines and the emotion it evokes. Both romantic and majestic, it tells a story of elegance and timeless grace.
A rare property — ideal for a family, cultural, or heritage project — where every stone seems to whisper echoes of a bygone splendour.
