Summary

Immaculately presented from top to bottom, this chateau offers the very best in luxury living. Set in the centre of its grounds, the property benefits from complete privacy and tranquillity whilst enjoying panoramic views over stunning unspoilt countryside. The reception rooms are large and light, despite the richness of the finish, flow well and connect well with the exterior terraces. Upstairs the bedrooms are plentiful – ideal for larger families, but equally suited to re-roling as studies and media rooms.

The guest cottage is discreetly located to the flank, and although of a more contemporary style, it shares the quality and attention to detail. Of particular note is the swimming pool, discreetly located in a complex of old outbuildings, it is fully walled and private, with wonderful courtyard and covered terraces adjoining – not to mention the wonderfully cool pool-side bar. Whilst the setting is very much ‘countryside’, it close to a little village and only 15mins from the bustling and chic city of Perigueux. Whether home to 2 or 20, private residence or hospitality business, this stunning property is well worthy of close inspection.
