La Maison Bois was designed and completed in 2015 by young British Architect Tom Kyle, in the quest to self build a sustainable, low impact, holiday home, in the popular and beautiful region of Charente. Constructed in timber and clad with locally sourced wood and stone, the views from its terraces of the hills of Charente Limousine are stunning. The spacious enclosed garden offers lots of places to play and relax. More information can be found on our website (URL HIDDEN)

Tom is an Architect and has always wanted to build his own house. He got the opportunity to do this in France - a country we both love and La Maison Bois is the result. I am a nature conservation officer and I teach children about the environment so you can see why we both wanted to make the house as sustainable as possible. We find that a number of our clients chose the house based on this which is great. We are really pleased that we can welcome guests to the property.

La Maison Bois is less than 5 minutes walk from Montemboeuf. A little working French village with a Spar, Boucherie, Boulangerie, Post Office, Bank and of course that French Village staple – a hairdressers! From it's lovely spot on the edge of the village of Montemboeuf you can be in historic Angouleme in half an hour, visit the sporty lakes of the Haute Charente, take a day trip to the seaside at Royan, or visit the cities of Bergerac or Cognac.
