Poitou-Charentes. Price Reduced: €583,000 Status: For Sale ID: 492 The above price includes Estate Agency Fees. A figure of approximately 6.5% should be added to the purchase price to cover Tax, Notary and Registration Fees. Barbezieux 24 kms Angouleme 58 kms Bordeaux 90 kms Bergerac 94 kms Limoges 160 kms The property is situated in rolling countryside and sits within its own land down a private drive off a small lane. The nearest village is 4km with a small supermarket, bank, restaurant, butcher, baker, tabac and pharmacy. The nearest town, about 10km, has banks, large supermarkets, diy store, doctors, a dentist and many other shops. There is a large market once a week . Tourist Information There is a holiday village with a lake for swimming and fishing with beach bar, restaurant and children’s games and swings. There are several others scattered around, all within 30 mins. There is a large public pool 9kms and a 9-hole golf course, 30mins away. Also in the département of the Charente lies the ancient town of Cognac, famous for the double-distilled brandy of the same name, with cobbled streets, beautiful old architecture, shops, restaurants and cafes. The River Charente runs through the town and its banks play host to many festivals, circuses and concerts in the summer. Angouleme is well worth a visit for its stunning cathedral and quaint, narrow streets, yet is also home to the world’s largest collection of film cartoons and comic strips. At Aubeterre sur Dronne, the huge cavern of the Eglise St-Jean, Europe’s largest subterranean church, presents quite a spectacle. The Poitou-Charentes region as a whole has a wealth of bird sanctuaries and animal reserves and is superb walking and riding country. Schools: 5mins by car to maternelle and primaire and 15mins to college. The nearest lycée is 20mins at Barbeziuex, which the owners are told has a very good reputation. Equestrian There are several equestrian clubs around. The best, in the view of the owners, is near to Angouleme, which has fantastic facilities and training. There are others further away and enough to be out competing every weekend if you wish. Chalais has an international horse show every summer. The farrier calls at the property and the vet in Chalais is very good and visits if needed. Riding is great; lots of off-road riding around farmland where the farmers do not complain!
