19th Century Family Home in the Heart of Taillebourg

EXCLUSIVE TO ESPACES ATYPIQUES

Between Saintes and Saint-Savinien, in one of the most sought-after villages along the Charente River, this authentic character property reveals, behind its wrought-iron gate, a world imbued with serenity and history.

Nestled in the heart of Taillebourg, an iconic village known for its castle overlooking the valley and its bucolic atmosphere, this elegant house offers approximately 190 sq m of living space within a 1,640 sq m enclosed and wooded garden. Protected by its stone walls, it seems frozen in time, simply waiting for a fresh perspective to reveal its full potential. Traditional shutters, generous windows, and a vast south-facing terrace create an authentic setting where light accompanies every moment of the day. The ground floor is organized around open-plan living spaces that flow seamlessly onto the garden.

The existing kitchen allows for immediate occupancy while a renovation project can be carried out gradually. The living room, warmed by an antique fireplace, invites you to imagine convivial evenings in a cozy atmosphere.

Two spacious adjoining rooms, with remarkable proportions, offer multiple layout possibilities. A ground-floor bedroom with views of the surrounding countryside, a library, a reading room, or a separate office space: everyone can envision their own lifestyle here. A former back kitchen/laundry room, featuring a period fireplace, completes this level. Currently used as an annex, it also opens the door to numerous transformations: a family kitchen, a creative workshop, a reception room, or additional living space opening onto the garden. A magnificent stone staircase leads to the upper floor, where three generously sized bedrooms and a powder room await.

The spaces, the ceiling height, and the windows reveal an ideal setting for a renovation that respects the original character of the house. A large garage, along with substantial outbuildings and an attic, complete the property, offering valuable storage capacity or further potential for expansion. Thanks to extensive renovations carried out over the years, the property demonstrates remarkable resilience in the face of climate change. During the recent exceptional floods that affected the region, the building remained perfectly preserved, confirming the effectiveness and relevance of the work undertaken.

This property will appeal to those passionate about heritage renovation or those who dream of a family home in the heart of the Saintonge region. An authentic residence, steeped in history. A rare place where time seems to stand still, in the heart of one of the most beautiful villages in Charente-Maritime.
