Exclusive to Maxwell Baynes/Christie's International Real Estate
Offering an immediate sense of charm and a genuine wow factor, this exceptional private domaine reveals its most captivating feature the moment one steps onto the south-facing terrace: sweeping, far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Rich in history and character, the château exudes an enduring sense of place, with its origins dating back to the 12th century, when it served as a watchtower. Its elevated position, which once offered a strategic vantage point, continues to afford a remarkable outlook over the landscape today.
Combining medieval heritage with an enviable setting, the estate enjoys a privileged location just five minutes from Sarlat-la-Canéda, at the heart of the Dordogne’s highly sought-after Golden Triangle. Set within approximately seven hectares of private land, the domaine encompasses a delightful blend of open meadows and woodland, offering a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection with nature.
The château provides an inviting family residence, with three bedrooms, including a particularly generous master suite. For visiting family and friends, a separate four-bedroom guest house offers comfortable and independent accommodation, complemented by a charming cabin with its own en-suite bedroom and private terrace. Together, these additional spaces create an ideal setting for welcoming guests while preserving the privacy of the principal residence.
At the heart of outdoor living, a substantial swimming pool and accompanying pool house provide an idyllic setting for long summer days, relaxed entertaining and convivial gatherings with family and friends.
For equestrian enthusiasts, the property offers a particularly appealing range of facilities, including two stables, a tack room, a field shelter, fenced paddocks and riding paths winding through the estate’s woodland. A network of local bridleways can also be accessed directly from the property, allowing riders to explore the surrounding countryside on horseback.
A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful historic château in one of the Dordogne’s most desirable locations, combining panoramic views, versatile guest accommodation, generous grounds and equestrian facilities within easy reach of the restaurants, markets and cultural attractions of Sarlat.
