A Restored 15th Century Château, With Outbuildings And Ponds, Set In 73 Hectares, Including

About the Property

A restored 15th century château, with outbuildings and ponds, set in 73 hectares, including more than 21 hectares of woods and fields in Haute-Corrèze. The château, the oldest parts of which date back to the 15th century, was built on the probable site of a 9th century feudal motte. Its layout essentially follows the line of the medieval enclosure, attested to as early as the 13th century, which still structures the layout of the site today. The north façade faces the village church and the estate’s neo-Gothic chapel, built in 1898. It forms part of the surrounding wall, which extends to the east and west and which defines the immediate access to the property. Two gates provide access to the estate. To the north-east, the first leads to the gardens, parking spaces, ancillary buildings, a swimming pool and a passageway to a main courtyard. The second gate opens onto a driveway that runs along the west side of the château as far as the main courtyard. The stone façades and Travassac slate roofs have been completely restored. The gravelled main courtyard is bordered by the two wings of the building, also known as the ”small” and ”large” parts, which are three storeys high and set at right angles to each other. The courtyard is enclosed to the south by a fortified wall overlooking an area of dry moats. The two buildings are separated by a lane linking the courtyard to the rear of the château, its outbuildings, gardens and swimming pool. The smaller section runs north-south around a rectangular building flanked by a tower. The large east-west section comprises a number of buildings and towers, including a spiral staircase tower and a square tower marking the corner of the square. To the south, an inner perimeter wall marks the transition to the grounds of the estate and helps to set the scene for the château, which is set out as a belvedere. It is punctuated by stone staircases and, near the swimming pool, a circular watchtower with a pepperpot roof.
