Description

Summary

Fully renovated throughout to an exceptional standard, this chateau offers the very best combination of fine and comfortable living. The main chateau offers 9 bedrooms and 4 reception rooms over 7,931 sq ft of habtiable space - but could be divided to be roled as two potentially separate dwellings offering five bedrooms in the main chateau and an additional four in the adjoining Manoir. Centrally heated and double glazed, it is as warm in winter as it is cool in summer. A separate building, located opposite the extensive garage / orangerie, provides the potential for the ideal Guardian's Cottage with an extra three bedrooms. At the time of writing, this is currently being renovated to a standard ready to be finished off by a new owner. In addition, a magnificent Orangerie and garage complex offers further possibilities.

The property is situated on the outskirts of a charming village, and is walkable to a bar/restaurant and 'alimentation' (corner shop). Additional facilities, including schools, supermarket, great restaurants are only ten minutes away in a very popular bastide town. The chateau commands a stunning view over the River Dordogne (reputed to be the cleanest river in Europe) to one flank, while the remaining three aspects look out over the 9.6 hectare (24 acre) park - a wonderfully groomed garden, giving way to paddocks and woods. The property is well fenced, and accessed through magnificent wrought-iron electric gates. A swimming pool completes the ensemble. A rare find.
