Charming and Accessible Location
Lessac is a picturesque village in the Charente, known for its serene landscapes and welcoming community. 5 minutes from Confolens, a vibrant town with all essential amenities, and within easy reach of Limoges and Poitiers airports, this property is well-connected yet perfectly secluded.

A Striking Blend of Comfort and Character
The property unfolds with a welcoming hallway leading into the heart of the home. The main living area is a stunning open-plan space, reminiscent of a New York loft, with high ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and very large glass windows that flood the space with natural light. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and coziness, while panoramic views of the river and surrounding countryside create a truly breathtaking atmosphere. The living area opens onto a balcony, offering a perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee while overlooking the tranquil landscape.

Exposed wooden beams, adding warmth and character.
A private lounge area, perfect as a reading nook or workspace.
A sleek ensuite bathroom, featuring a glass-enclosed rainfall shower, double sinks, and contemporary finishes.

A loft-style open-plan living space featuring a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a bright, airy living room that seamlessly extends onto a balcony, perfect for enjoying morning coffee or entertaining guests.
Three generously sized bedrooms, ensuring ample space for family and guests.
A large shared bathroom adjacent to the bedrooms, plus a separate guest WC near the living area.
