Believed to be one of the last remaining priories in France with an almost complete set of enclosing walls, ensuring exceptional privacy, this exceptional property would make a superb principal residence - with income potential (subject to necessary permissions).
Approached through a striking crenellated gateway flanked by a tower, the logis sits at the heart of a picturesque village just outside Segonzac, the capital of the prestigious Grande Champagne region of the Cognac vineyards. The larger towns of Jarnac and Cognac are just a short drive away.
Believed to have origins dating back to the late Middle Ages, this remarkable property has been meticulously renovated to create a luxurious home that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comforts.
The ground floor features an expansive double reception room, centered around an impressive fireplace. A doorway leads to a vast kitchen and dining area, where a soaring double-height ceiling, bespoke fitted kitchen, travertine flooring, and ambient lighting create a stunning space.
A door opens to the garden, while off this area are a generous cloakroom (with two separate WCs), the original entrance hall, and a laundry/boiler room.
A wooden staircase ascends from the kitchen to a mezzanine sitting area and a galleried landing. The guest bedroom boasts a private en suite shower room, while the master suite includes its own ensuite shower room and a spacious dressing room.
At the end of the landing, a door leads to a grand library with an exposed beam ceiling and a wood-burning stove.
The first-floor layout reflects the current owner's lifestyle, but there is significant potential to create additional bedrooms (subject to necessary permissions).
Accessible from both the kitchen and the front terrace, a large vaulted former cellar has been transformed into a gym/reception space. Behind this, a catering station serves as a food preparation area, making the cellar ideal for hosting formal gatherings. Beyond this lies the wine cellar.
The garden is primarily laid to lawn, dotted with mature trees, shrubs, and flower borders. A terrace runs along the front of the house, leading to a beautiful infinity pool at one end. Additionally, a raised wooden deck offers breathtaking views over the surrounding vineyards.
