This lovely complex of stone buildings has been restored over the past seven years to provide five quality independent dwellings - ideal for an extended family, for several families or for use as a gîte complex.
Set on its own, in a park of 3.6 hectares (about 9 acres) and surrounded by vineyards with no nearby neighbours, the setting is idyllic. Yet the historic town of Cognac is just a 9km drive.
