Medieval château; the chateau is built over three floors which are each accessed via a superb heptagonal tower with renaissance doorway.

Ground floor; (225m²) the kitchen and office are habitable whilst the original kitchens, dining room with stone fireplace and pisé floor, large room with vaulted stone ceiling and the wine cellar are to be converted. At the far end of the building the original patisserie with 2 bread ovens and a stone sink are still in existence.

1st floor; (225m²) this floor is habitable and includes salon with wooden cantou fireplace and mullioned windows, office/ hallway, drawing room, 5 bedrooms, 2 of which have the original 19th century panelling, 2 shower rooms.

2nd floor; (225m²) four large loft areas (some already with dormer windows) are full height and could be converted into habitable rooms. A small anti-chamber on the 3rd floor houses another stone fireplace.
This Chateau is a superb solid structure but needs work to bring it into the 21 century.
Outside; the large enclosed courtyard is flanked by three barns (totalling 500m²), one of which boasts the original flagstone floors. The 40 hectares of land incorporates 13ha of mixed woodland, 13ha of walnut orchards, 1.5ha of truffled trees and several water sources including a 5000m² lake.

The adjoining farm is included in the sale and offers a farmhouse (100m² - in need of renovation), barn (150m²) and bread oven - all set in 2hectares of pastureland.

This is a truly extraordinary estate, which we are pleased to be able to offer on an exclusive basis.

Location in France

The Dordogne is France's third largest department, and as well as numerous picturesque villages, it also boasts an incredible 4,000 chateaux, 10% of all the chateaux in France. Many people, including many expatriates, feel that the Dordogne is one of the most beautiful regions of France.
The Dordogne has traditionally been one of the most popular department for foreign buyers, including many British, Irish and Dutch home owners. Like many French departments, the Dordogne is named after the river that flows through it. Foie gras, duck and goose are regional specialities.
The department has four distinct territories. In the north you will find 'Green Périgord' which derives its name from its many green valleys and woodland, covered with trickling streams, and houses the Périgord-Limousin Regional Natural Park. The major towns in the area are Brantome (the "Venice" of the Dordogne), Nontron and Riberac.
In the centre of the department is 'White Périgord', so called because of its limestone plateaux. It contains the capital of the Dordogne, Périgueux, with attractive shopping centre and marvellous winding old town.
The 'Purple Périgord', in the South West of the department, is named from the area's grapes, which are put to good use in Bergerac, the capital of this wine producing region. The area was of great strategic significance during the hundred years war, and visitors will find a number of fortified villages, castles and chateaux built by both the English and the French here.
In the south-east you'll find 'Black Périgord', with deep valleys and ancient forests. It contains the towns of Saint-Cyprien and Sarlat-la-Caneda, which are both popular with foreign buyers. It houses numerous prehistoric caves with some 30,000 year old cave paintings.
Nearest international airports are Limoges, Bergerac and Bordeaux with regular flights back to the UK, and the department has good motorway and TGV access.
