About this Property

Magnificent 17th-century château with fantastic views in the heart of a 33-hectare estate, comprising a caretaker's cottage, 3 beautifully presented guest annexes, additional annexes to be developed for your own use/needs, multiple vineyards and agricultural buildings.

The château, set in a dominant elevated position, is beautifully laid out on two levels, with silk-covered walls and sublime hand-painted murals and friezes.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with stone stairway leading to the first floor, living room, library, kitchen, dining room and toilet. The first floor comprises a sitting room and three bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room.

There are also three gîtes, part of a wing adjoining the main building, two of which have a living room, kitchen, bedroom and en-suite shower room, and a third gîte with a similar layout but with 3 bedrooms. These annexes are finished in the same style as the château, again with a marked elegance in the choice of materials and decor. Each gîte has a covered terrace, spa and barbecue for your guests to enjoy those long summer evenings admiring the beautiful views.

A caretaker's cottage adjoining the west side of the château completes the living quarters and comprises a living room/kitchen, a bathroom, a toilet, a mezzanine and two bedrooms.

To enhance your days in this sumptuous setting, a complex dedicated to relaxation is at your disposal, with an 11m x 5m heated swimming pool in the centre and annexes including changing rooms, showers, a massage room and a reception room at the sides.

For those who prefer to stroll, the gardens will lead you to the property's fountain, which is located at the crossroads of the paths and can already be seen from the heights of the pool area or the gardens of the château and gîtes. In the background, an olive grove can also be seen among the vines that stretch out on either side of the property.

For the vineyard, agricultural buildings and equipment are included as well as the wine-making cellar, a tasting room and other function rooms, to name but a few.

An exceptional estate that lends itself to a variety of projects, less than 90 minutes from Bordeaux.

Dordogne

Bergerac

Aquitaine

If you want variety, Aquitaine is possibly the place for you. The largest administrative region in France, covering pretty much the whole of the south west corner. It has Atlantic coastal towns and seemingly endless pine forests to the west, the stunning backdrop of the Pyrénées in the south, vineyards (both wine and cognac) in the centre and north, lush pastures and agricultural landscapes in the north east and the most stunning architecture, valleys and villages from the centre towards the east.

Testimonials

    Testimonial by Andrew Cotton

    Having decided to go ahead with our plan to buy an investment property in France, we initially tracked the market across a number of websites and across a wide area covering the Dordogne and the Lot regions. It quickly became clear that the responses we received from the Beaux Villages team were the most helpful and, based on some discussions about what we were looking for, we were able to put an initial viewing trip together. Based on this viewing trip, we narrowed the geographic area of our search and Beaux Villages became the leading agent we spoke to, including arranging some visits to see properties that were not exclusively listed with them, which made the viewing trips easy to arrange and manage. After a second viewing trip, we found our dream property, albeit at a price which was a little over our budget. At this point, the Beaux Villages team helped us navigate the process of understanding what the different stages of the offer and purchasing process would be, what the fees for each aspect would be and allowed us to put together an offer which was rejected initially, but some months later secured us a property we are really pleased, and sometimes a little amazed, to now own. Without the input of Judith Whitlow [, and her husband Kevin,] we would have not had the confidence to navigate the process successfully. Their input, from the initial offer all the way through to the couple of weeks after our purchase went through (when dealing with some of the issues which arise when buying a property abroad), was clear, pragmatic and incredibly helpful. Based on their experience having lived in France for some time and the clarification they could therefore offer on issues which were sometimes difficult to understand and assess, we felt very comfortable making decisions about what is a very significant investment for us. I warmly recommend Judith to anyone considering purchasing a property in France – without them, we would have had a much more difficult time getting to completion.
