Close To Bergerac Beautifully Presented 5/6 Bed Chateau, In 1.6 Hectares Of Grounds

Discreetly positioned at the end of a long private driveway, this magnificent Chateau occupies an elevated and privileged position overlooking the surrounding countryside. Offering an exceptional combination of, elegance and tranquillity, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of exclusivity while remaining conveniently close to local amenities.

The charming riverside bastide town of Eymet is within easy reach, offering a vibrant selection of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, together with everyday amenities. The historic riverside town of Bergerac, with its International airport providing convenient connections to the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands, is approximately 30 minutes away by car, while Bordeaux can be reached in around 1 hour 30 minutes.

Steeped in character and beautifully presented, the petit chateau is approached through a light-filled entrance hall, where an elegant staircase rises gracefully through the property’s distinctive turret. This impressive architectural feature immediately establishes the character and refinement that continue throughout the house.

The ground floor offers a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room, a wonderfully light and spacious reception room with feature fireplace, formal dining room and contemporary shower room. Central heating and high-speed fibre broadband further enhance the comfort and practicality of the home.

On the first floor, a generous landing leads to two double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. A further hallway leads to the principal bedroom suite, comprising a large double-aspect bedroom with feature fireplace, an additional bedroom/dressing room and cloakroom.

The second floor continues to provide generous and versatile accommodation. The staircase opens onto a spacious landing, with contemporary shower room and two further large bedrooms. One of these bedrooms benefits from its own substantial sitting room and private cloakroom, creating an ideal guest suite, teenage retreat or private sanctuary.

Outside, the property truly comes into its own.

A covered and tiled rear terrace provides an idyllic setting from which to admire the spectacular sunsets, while the gravelled area to the front of the house offers generous space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with views towards the swimming pool and countryside beyond.

The large heated swimming pool is surrounded by a generous terrace, creating an inviting space for summer entertaining, relaxing in the sunshine or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. With its elevated position and far-reaching views, it is easy to imagine long summer days spent beside the pool and evenings dining outdoors as the sun sets over the landscape.

The gardens are equally enchanting. Mature copses of trees create a wonderful sense of privacy, while pathways and carefully positioned outdoor spaces invite exploration throughout the grounds. Tucked discreetly amongst the greenery is a beautifully arranged dining area, thoughtfully illuminated to create a Mediterranean, Greek-inspired atmosphere after dark. It is an exceptional setting for long, leisurely meals and convivial evenings beneath the stars.

The property also benefits from a number of useful outbuildings, including a substantial storeroom and garage.

A former barn, with its original walls preserved, offers considerable potential and could be transformed, subject to the necessary permissions, into a private paddle court, traditional pétanque court or an impressive covered outdoor entertaining and dining space.

A further existing building presents an exciting restoration opportunity. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, this could potentially be converted to provide additional guest accommodation or a separate dwelling, offering considerable flexibility for those wishing to create a multi-generational home, guest accommodation or simply further enhance the property’s already impressive offering.

This is a truly special Chateau, combining elegant period character, generous and versatile accommodation, enchanting mature gardens and exceptional outdoor living spaces, all within a wonderfully secluded setting yet close to the highly sought-after town of Eymet.

A rare opportunity to acquire an elegant country residence offering, panoramic views and exceptional potential in one of the Dordogne/ Lot-et-Garonne region’s most desirable locations.
