Picturesque gite & a recently renovated pool! Great for families and friends!

'La Mirabelle' is a beautifully situated large detached cottage, it is light and bright with high ceilings. It's perfectly located close enough to Bordeaux, Cognac and Angouleme but far enough away to enjoy seclusion with peace and quiet. There is large, recently renovated pool, fitted with an alarm and a generous sun bathing terrace to enjoy. There is a gated garden exclusive for 'La Mirabelle' residents to use, as well as very large open green spaces. La Mirabelle' is located in the charming Charente countryside, looking out over vines and sunflowers, close to a village though secluded and set in the grounds of a former Cognac estate with an elegant French house 'Manoir d'Aulagnes' at its heart.

La Mirabelle is private from the main house and has its own large spaces, garden and the most typically French vista. It has its own parking and gardens. Visit Bordeaux, Cognac and Angouleme with great ease. It's also very close to a number of tranquil swimming lake beaches, a leisure quarry is nearby for jet skiing and it's only 90 minutes to the coast. There are an abundance of outdoor activities, swimming, cycling, horse riding or just enjoy relaxing by the pool, soaking up the sun.
