Castle Le Dorat - 7 bedrooms

Between Poitiers and Limoges, at the heart of a private estate comprising 108 hectares in a single block, discover an exceptional property where history, heritage and nature come together in an absolutely remarkable setting.

In the north of the Haute-Vienne, between Le Dorat and Montmorillon, less than an hour from Poitiers and Limoges, this exclusive property, which has been passed down within the same family for several generations, offers a setting of rare quality, completely free from any disturbance.

At the end of a majestic avenue, the château gradually reveals its elegant silhouette.

Built in the 15th and 16th centuries, then remodelled in the 19th century, it offers approximately 400 m² of living space and retains all the authenticity of its original architecture: wood panelling, period fireplaces, parquet flooring, an oak staircase, generous rooms and natural light streaming through the building combine to create a setting of timeless charm.

A superb U-shaped main courtyard, flanked by extensive outbuildings, welcomes visitors with elegance.

To the south, the terraces overlook the park and the ponds, offering an exceptional panoramic view of the estate.
