DESCRIPTION

Approached by a long tree lined driveway, this Chateau dates from the 15th century. Sat on 3.5 hectares of park land with a stunning variety of ancient trees including an impressive Cedar tree and an orchard. In addition the property borders a river, so has its own private river frontage.

The impressive main entrance hall has a double height ceiling and a grand staircase leading up to a mezzanine landing. From the landing there is a very spacious attic space which could be converted (subject to authorisations) to provide significant additional habitable space being approx 100m2.

In total the Chateau offers nine bedrooms and seven bathrooms as well as 4 reception rooms. The property proudly boasts high ceilings and tall windows offering an abundance of light in most of the rooms. There are stone walls, beautiful fireplaces, an abundance of beams, original floors and some beautiful panelled double doors throughout the ground floor.

The Chateau flows easily and effortlessly with the outside space, with most ground floor rooms leading out to the garden. The 12m x 6m swimming pool has a paved surround and a spacious covered terrace overlooking it and includes a built-in BBQ and a summer kitchen, making it the perfect place for shaded al fresco dining. Attached to the covered terrace is the bicycle shed, pool house and a WC.

To the far end of the left wing there is a caretaker's cottage, with a large open plan living/dining/kitchen and on the first floor a bedroom and a bathroom.

The property is entirely private and secluded, surrounded by orchards, woodland, and farmland. While it offers a peaceful, tucked-away setting, it is also just a five-minute drive from the nearest town, with its weekly farmers’ market, cafés, bars, and restaurants. The popular Bastide town of Eymet is less than 15 minutes away and Bergerac, with its international airport, is also only 20 minutes away.
