Magnificent Countryside Chateau, Set in a Private Valley Location

Property Description

This desirable chateau is set within 165 acres of fully fenced private grounds, beyond electrically operated gates.

Exceptionally versatile, this remarkable estate presents a rare opportunity to bring an ambitious vision to life. Subject to the necessary permissions, it could be ideally suited as an exclusive wedding and events venue, a prestigious retreat for artists and creatives, or a distinguished private hunting estate. Equally, it will appeal to discerning buyers seeking an extraordinary private residence, offering an exceptional lifestyle defined by elegance, tranquillity and complete privacy.

The Chateau offers several reception rooms with doors leading to the vast suntrap terrace with views of the undulating valley below. The informal breakfast kitchen is complemented by a discreet secondary preparation area, providing extensive pantry storage and generous food preparation space. Ideally designed for effortless entertaining, it also enjoys direct access to the covered terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor dining. There is a master suite on the ground floor consisting of several rooms, including a dressing area, bathroom and a private stair access to a jacuzzi room below, boot room and laundry area. Follow the original stone staircase to the 1st floor where you will find 5 en-suite luxury bedrooms with deep plush carpeting, travertine flooring and beautiful white porcelain fixtures throughout. Extensive unconverted spaces offer exceptional potential to create additional bedroom suites with en-suite bathrooms, an intimate private lounge, or further reception and leisure areas, allowing future owners to tailor the estate to their individual lifestyle and vision.

Follow the spiral stone stairs down to the basement and you are greeted with a unique underground swimming pool, what was formerly the "cave" is now a stunning blue lagoon with unique acoustics. A further set of steps on the other side of the pool lead to the hammam, a small fully tiled sauna room with a shower, insert seating and separate toilet area. Glazed doors open onto the private spa terrace, while a separate doorway provides direct access back to the château.

The estate also includes three exceptional guest houses, each with its own private swimming pool. These independent residences feature wood-burning fireplaces, double-glazed windows, private terraces, contemporary kitchens and elegant travertine flooring throughout. The exceptional attention to detail is evident at every turn.

The estate unfolds within a landscape of exceptional natural beauty, featuring a magnificent lake with a cascading waterfall, expansive meadows, mature woodland, productive truffle oak groves and a charming vineyard. Its extensive grounds make it particularly well suited to equestrian pursuits. A substantial barn further enhances the property, offering extensive workshop facilities together with generous garaging.

Despite its complete privacy, the estate enjoys excellent accessibility, with the international airports of Bergerac and Limoges both within easy reach, providing convenient connections to destinations across Europe and beyond.

Both grand in scale and remarkably intimate, the estate provides an unrivalled sense of privacy and security, creating a peaceful sanctuary in which to relax and unwind.
