Dordogne: A Rare Riverfront Château Estate And Private Hamlet Of Exceptional Prestige And Commercial

Set on over 41 acres (16.7 hectares) of woods, meadows, and private riverfront along the Côle, this historic estate balances centuries-old heritage with outstanding turn-key income potential. Located just minutes from Brantôme and six minutes from local shops, the property offers a flood-safe, elevated retreat suitable as a grand family compound or a luxury boutique venue.

The Main Château
Restored with authentic details, including oak parquet, custom woodwork, marble fireplaces, and high ceilings, the main residence features:

Ground Floor: A wide central hallway leading to a grand salon, custom-panelled library, formal dining room with a river-view balcony, an authentic island kitchen, and a dramatic wrought-iron spiral staircase.

Upper Floors: Generous en-suite bedrooms, highlighted by a primary suite with a freestanding bath and custom dressing room, and a bright, vaulted attic with exposed timber beams ready for conversion.

Lower Level: An insulated, vaulted basement with a dedicated wine cellar, utility spaces, and commercial-scale storage.

The Riverfront Hamlet & Outbuildings
Arranged like a private village, the turn-key outbuildings offer extensive, flexible accommodation:

Guest & Caretaker Lodgings: A two-bedroom independent guardian’s cottage and two separate guest houses, totalling seven additional en-suite bedrooms with private terraces.

Event & Commercial Potential: An imposing stone barn tailored for weddings and receptions, with space for a lower-level lounge or bar, alongside a historic watermill with its original wheel, ideal for a waterfront restaurant or boutique suites.

Infrastructure: Extensive workshops, lock-up garages, and covered carports.

Grounds & Amenities
The fully secluded grounds feature two separate swimming pools, one dedicated to the château with a pool house and summer kitchen, and another for guest houses, alongside expansive river-view terraces, custom landscape lighting, and private fishing rights. Fully restored, including a completely replaced slate roof, the estate is ready for immediate luxury living or boutique rental operation.
