Stunning 18th Century Charentais Logis with Swimming Pool near Cognac

The logis is situated amongst the vineyards of the Grande Champagne region, famously known for having the best Cognac vines in France. It is set in a beautiful rural location, within minutes of the capital of the Grande Champagne, Segonzac where there is a bakery, supermarket, tabac, pharmacy and post office. The house lies within 2 acres of enclosed grounds, which include an orchard, courtyard, pigeonnier, and 10 x 5m swimming pool. The logis will be your gateway to a great vacation, outdoor living, and a family hideaway with simplicity, rustic lifestyle and a relaxed elegance. With large light rooms, carefully renovated with period style furniture it will feel like home from home.

Location: This 18th Century charentais logis, has large light rooms. It sits amongst the vineyards of the Grande Champagne region, famed for being the most impressive region of the Charente. The nearby town of Segonzac, just a 5 minute drive away has a supermarket, pharmacy, bakery etc. And the nearby village of Juillac le Coq, a 2 minute drive away has a bakery, post office and a petrol station. The 2 acre garden is completely enclosed by thick bordering fir trees and has open spaces for Badminton etc. The swimming pool and garden are south facing.

The Surrounding Area: The pretty town of Jarnac, birthplace and final resting place of Francois Mitterand lies against the backdrop of the River Charente. Just a 10 minute drive away it also provides enjoyment for fishing and boating enthusiasts. Jarnac is also home of the famous brandy house ‘Courvoisier’.
The lovely town of Cognac, home of the famous brandy houses ‘Camus’, ‘Hennessy’, ‘Martell’, ‘Otard’, and ‘Remy Martin’, is about a 15 minute drive away, where most of the distilleries offer free tastings and tours. With its pretty streets, markets and street cafes the beginning of September sees the 'Coup de Chauffe' festival, where the emotion teasers, smooth talkers, barkers and street knockers wander in the ‘eaux-de-vie’ city streets, and the beginning of August sees the streets filled with Blues, Soul Music and Jazz resonating from the jamming sessions between amateur and professional musicians.


Additional Attractions: The fantastic ‘Puy du Fou’ show retells local history in a spectacle of fireworks, fountains, lasers and stunt riding against the flaming background of a ruined fortress. There are shows every weekend from June to September, and is well worth the hour and a half drive.
Futuroscope is about an hour away, and shows cutting-edge modern film techniques, with a screen the size of a 7 story building and a dome shaped cinema which gives an illusion of solidity and an underfloor screen that makes you feel like you are airborne. It also has a giant 3D cinema.
The beautiful wild ‘cote savage’ is under an hour away where there is miles of long, golden unspoilt beaches.
Or visit the ‘Marais Poitevin’, known as the Venice of France.
The nearest golf course is in Cognac, which is about 15 minutes away.

Fantastic - even better than the pictures!
We had the most wonderful relaxing stay! The house is beautiful. It’s been put together really nicely inside and the kitchen is particularly nice and well equipped. It was a pleasure to stay somewhere where the owners clearly care about the quality of the interior and the overall guest experience. Lovely pool and outside eating area - plenty of room for all guests. Large garden and table tennis. The area is rural and peaceful, with activities such as kayaking within a 20 min drive. Supermarkets similar. We were very sad to leave and wished we had another week! Thank you Ashley and Maxine.

Wonderful Chateau in Cognac area. Probably 10,000 sq ft with large grounds and a pool. Enjoyed evenings in the courtyard enjoying local wines and during the days touring several of the small local cognac cellars.

Beautiful and relaxing
A great spot for some down time, relaxing in tranquility surrounded by cognac vineyards. A short drive to local villages and towns for boulangerie, groceries, bars and restaurants. Would love to stay again!

Fabulous large and tranquil house in among the vineyards
We loved our stay in this magnificent house, along with the private (and warm) swimming pool and the well tended gardens. Inside, the long period, dining table was perfect for leisurely evening meals, and the open plan design into the living room ideal for lounging after a days outing. All of the bedrooms were equally spacious and sunlit so no-one felt that they had drawn a short straw. The property is located in a very quiet part of the countryside and therefore ideal for that get-away-from-it-all experience. However, Segonzac is a mere 10 minutes drive away - so food, wine, petrol etc shopping were very little effort. Royan, Saintes, Angouleme etc are approx 1 hour drives away plus there are many smaller villages and historical sites closer to-hand, for exploratory excursions. We did not meet the owner in person but their directions were excellent and they were very prompt at answering our "how does this work", "is there a ..." etc texts. All-in-all we had a very relaxing time and loved both the property and the region.

Sunshine, pool, rural France, what’s not to like?
Wonderful experience. House is well equipped, some things weren’t working well but nothing beyond normal wear and tear and we notified the lovely property maintenance team that arrived as we left and they took note of everything and said they’d look into it. Don’t forget your mosquito repellant for night time. Beautiful countryside for cycling and excellent quality roads - several 30 mile+ rides were joyful. Recommended and keen to return at some point.
