Charming Château With 450 Sqm Living Space And 64 Hectare Estate

About the Property

A charming 15th-century château, elegantly remodelled in the 18th century, commanding a hillside that formed part of a defensive line dating back to the Hundred Years’ War. This magnificent estate spans approximately 64 hectares in the picturesque Périgord region, just 25 minutes from Sarlat. The property boasts a harmonious blend of historical significance and architectural refinement, featuring approximately 450 square meters of living space. The château's majestic driveway, lined with centuries-old chestnut and lime trees, leads to an enchanting carriage entrance framed by a beautifully weathered stone façade. Upon entering, one is greeted by a courtyard of rare elegance, revealing a residence characterized by harmonious proportions and light-filled architecture. The honey-coloured Périgord stone captures the changing light, enhancing the façades throughout the day. The imposing staircase tower, crowned with a conical pepper-pot roof, links the two wings of the château, providing independent access to the upper floors. The main courtyard features an ancient well, an impressive dovecote tower, a former chapel, several agricultural buildings, former stables converted into garages, and an old wine storehouse with magnificent vaulted rooms. Together, these structures create a cohesive architectural ensemble that is both authentic and picturesque, enhanced by abundant greenery that contributes to the tranquillity of the setting. The interior comprises generous reception rooms, including a beautiful entrance hall with a grand staircase, a study with a fireplace, a spacious drawing room, a formal dining room, a more intimate dining room, and a large country kitchen with a traditional cantou fireplace. The upper floors accommodate five attractive bedrooms, while the attic spaces, crowned by remarkable boat-hull oak roof structures, offer exceptional potential for further conversion. The estate includes two independent dwellings and a substantial collection of 18th- and 19th-century agricultural buildings, rich in character and history. These outbuildings present outstanding potential for various projects, including guest accommodation, independent residences, reception venues, or artists’ studios. The expansive grounds encompass woodland, farmland, and former vineyards, offering a preserved natural environment and magnificent views over the rolling Périgord countryside.
