Castle With Outbuildings, Swimming Pool, Tennis Court And Garages

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional historic château. Accessible via a magnificent tree-lined driveway, framed by large stone pillars and wrought iron gates. Nestled on nearly five hectares of ancient parkland in the heart of the Dordogne countryside, this exceptional estate offers peace, privacy, and timeless French elegance, all less than ten minutes from Bergerac airport. Simply put, if this isn’t the French dream, it’s hard to imagine what is. Behind its enclosed and walled courtyard, enhanced by an elegant central stone fish pond, the estate reveals the main château with seven bedrooms, a charming four-bedroom guest house, a one-bedroom caretaker’s annex, a swimming pool, a tennis court, and a series of traditional outbuildings, offering exceptional versatility for refined family living or substantial hospitality and business potential. The château itself is rich in authentic character and beautifully preserved period details. An impressive entrance hall with original terracotta flooring and double doors immediately sets the tone, creating a perfect balance of grandeur and warmth. A magnificent staircase, stained glass, and atmospheric interiors continue throughout the building. The rustic country kitchen, centered around a large stone fireplace, exudes charm and authenticity, while a small, light-filled sitting room with a marble fireplace offers a wonderfully intimate retreat. The large living room is particularly impressive, with exposed stone walls, a stunning beamed ceiling, and a vast original fireplace. The splendid formal dining room is equally memorable, featuring superb parquet flooring, polished wood paneling, and an imposing fireplace, creating an elegant yet welcoming space for entertaining. Additional reception rooms include a beautiful study with custom oak bookshelves, a wood stove, exposed beams, and a fireplace. Upstairs, a bright and characterful landing leads to seven charming bedrooms, ideal for displaying family portraits. Three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, complemented by two further family bathrooms. The property also benefits from the comfort of mixed heating systems (gas, oil, and electric). Separate from the château, the charming stone guest house offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a covered terrace, making it an ideal place for guests, holiday rentals, or a blended family. An attached one-bedroom annex provides excellent accommodation for a caretaker or staff. Outside, the estate is as captivating as the interior. Mature trees, well-established gardens, and peaceful shaded corners create a truly idyllic setting. A charming covered terrace invites long outdoor lunches and evening dinners, while other facilities include an open-air shed, a three-car garage, and numerous tranquil spaces to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. Located just minutes by car from Bergerac and the highly sought-after bastide village of Issigeac, this exceptional château combines authenticity, accessibility, and enormous potential at an increasingly rare price. Anyone seeking the classic château lifestyle in southwest France will appreciate just how truly special this extraordinary estate is. Please queue in an orderly fashion.
