This Elegant mansion stands gracefully among the sun-drenched vineyards of Charente-Maritime, offering an authentic French countryside experience. Watch the sunrise with your morning coffee and listen to the gentle hooting of owls as evening falls.
The elegantly appointed interior seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern comfort. The house accommodates ten guests across five bedrooms, including a garden annexe with its own kitchenette. The main house features a sophisticated living room, fully equipped kitchen with Smeg appliances, and both family bathroom and shower facilities.
Step outside into 3.5 acres of mature gardens where apple trees dot the expansive lawns. The outdoor space caters to both relaxation and recreation, featuring a boules court, table tennis in the barn, and a trampoline for younger guests. The crowning feature is the indoor swimming pool, accessible through sliding doors from both sides of the garden.
Just ten minutes away, discover the historic market town of Jonzac, known for its medieval castle and thermal baths. The region beckons with renowned wineries producing Cognac and Pineau des Charentes, while the Atlantic coast and islands of Oléron and Ré offer perfect day trip destinations.

We're Mary and Phil, and we fell head over heels for Le Maine au Cerf in 2022 after a decades-long love affair with France that began in Lyon in 1979. After spending 40 years in the UK raising our family and managing a smallholding, we finally found our dream Maison de Maître among the Cognac vineyards. We hope you'll experience the same 'coup de foudre' that we did.
