a truly unique lifestyle suspended between heritage, nature and light. Only 5 minutes from Rochefort, 20 minutes from La Rochelle and close to the Atlantic beaches, this former administrative residence linked to the iconic Transporter Bridge has gradually been transformed into a warm and refined family home, set on a beautifully landscaped and enclosed 921 sqm plot with heated swimming pool. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere of the property immediately reveals itself. The vast living area of approximately 65 sqm, bathed in natural light, opens generously onto the garden and the river beyond. A true belvedere overlooking the Charente, this elegant reception space is equally suited to peaceful contemplation and convivial gatherings. The central wood-burning stove gives structure and warmth to the room, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout the seasons. The contemporary kitchen, designed for entertaining, extends naturally from the reception areas and enhances the fluid and comfortable layout of the home. The property offers five bedrooms, including a highly sought-after ground-floor master suite with dressing room and private bathroom, allowing comfortable single-level living. An office completes this level and can easily be used as a guest bedroom or independent workspace. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms with built-in storage, together with two shower rooms, provide excellent comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. Outside, the enclosed landscaped garden seems to follow the gentle rhythm of the river and the changing seasons. Terraces, summer kitchen, wine cellars, a very large double garage and a heated swimming pool with jacuzzi and counter-current swimming system create an exceptional setting designed both for peaceful family living and elegant entertaining. Here, the famous Rochefort Transporter Bridge is far more than a remarkable landmark: it gives the property a deeply unique identity, rooted in the maritime heritage and history of the region. The renovation has successfully preserved the soul of the property while integrating the level of modern comfort expected today: heat pump with reversible air conditioning, wood-burning stove, fibre-optic internet and mains drainage connection. The property benefits from an energy performance rating classified C and a climate rating classified A, reflecting controlled energy consumption considering the generous living volumes offered. This exceptional residence will appeal to buyers seeking character homes, rare properties and preserved waterfront environments in the Charente-Maritime region. It would perfectly suit either a prestigious primary residence, a spacious family home or a high-end hospitality project connected to the strong appeal of Rochefort Océan and the Atlantic coastline. Some homes are simply visited. Others are truly experienced.
